How to use Hellcat’s Recover Flasher?

Hellcat’s Recovery Flasher is a tool used easily flash your psp to custom firmware (install, upgrade, downgrade custom firmware). The only time I needed to use it was to downgrade my psp back to M33. My current version was GEN-D3 and I want it to be downgraded to 5.00 M33-6. It may have other uses but for now, this is will just be used to downgrade GEN-D to M33.
