Well,i found Porkupan ftp archive,its still online,plus got from long dead russian forum (www.the-ebook.org)250 MB PRS-650 tools pack

.https://projects.mobil…reader/users/porkupan/

In that pack was totally alternative firmware from :https://archive.org/de…-applications-firmware
Installed no problem,but its awkward to use,so i removed it.

In PRS-650 tools pack i got,was PRS-650 russification update from porkupan (boroda),v.105n,no exe,update_bat file for installation.To my surprise,worked again like charm.

So,in general i got cyrillic epubs again working on my PRS-650."With older Sony firmware"

FIX: porkupans 1.05n also updated my reader Sony firmware,so its now v.1.0.00.14080!

.Why it refused to update Sony firmware to latest one on that device via Sony exe updater,is beyond me.Windows 10?UAC?Who knews.(i suspect its W 10 issue)

(Would be nice ofc update Sony firmware to latest one)FIX:done!
and PRC+ it,but as it is so outdated reader,going to try to gift my daughter at summer some nice 300 ppi Pocketbook reader.

If anybody needs PRC-650 toolset from died russian forum,can upload it (www.the-ebook.org)
