Otherwise for manual installation:

1. Download latest release here

2. Open ARK4.zip

   1. If you do not have a zip program to extract zip files look into 7zip/peazip for Windows, or p7zip for *nix.

3. Connect PSP to PC

4. Copy ARK_01234 to /PSP/SAVEDATA/ on the memory stick.

5. Copy ARK_Loader to /PSP/GAME/ on the memory stick

   2. PSP Go users can use either internal or external memory, just make sure the savedata and loaders are on the same device.

6. Properly unmount PSP from PC first, then on the PSP disconnect from USB Mode.

7. On the PSP go to the GAME section (3rd option from the furthermost right icon on the XMB (Xross Media Bar))

8. Click on Memory Stick™

9. Click on ARK Loader

10. Once done loading it will boot into ARK-4. Congratulations you have ARK-4 running (semi-permanent), if you reboot your PSP you will have to relaunch ARK Loader to launch ARK-4 again.

Note: For permanent CFW you can use cIPL. It is recommended to also do the Full Flash Installation on 1K, 2K, 3K, and Street devices.
