PSP 2.50 and 2.60 downgrader launched

Davedough @ Jul 01, 2006 18:58 | 83 comments

This seems like a great week indeed for people who choose to use their Sony PSP like it was never intended to be used. After the PSP community rejoiced earlier about the 2.60 exploit that had been found, making it capable of accessing the kernel in updated PSP models, a stable 1.50 downgrader program has been launched.

The recent exploit for 2.60, although functional, has already reported making a few "bricks" in the hands of inexperienced PSP modders. Developed and tested as functional, this downgrade program uses the Grand Theft Auto eLoader program and successfully downgrades 2.50 and 2.60 PSPs to the vaulted 1.50, enabling happy gamers to play a slew of homebrew on their portable gaming devices.

holy crap, this has to be the most asked n00b question. NO. Stop asking now, and search aD. Please dont ask the common questions.

Svtstang, i got Dog Happy Life to work, now i wanna be able to compress it because it takes 772MB which is almost everything. So if you find any info specific to this game, any help would be appreciated.

hi i'm new to the whole psp thing,and i'm not really all

that psp literate so to speak,but i need to know if there is a way to downgrade from version 2.80 to version 2.0 or lower. i have a bunch of games for it but i can't play them with the 2.80 version,and when i upgraded to version 2.80 i didn't know this as i thought i needed to upgrade,cause it was the first day i had got the thing.

Comment by: svtstang (Aug 03, 2006 17:41)

Nope, you are out of luck. Nothing can be done to a 2.80 at this time.

if you dont have gta just upgrade to 2.71 its easier to downgrade to 1.5 from 2.71. all you need is the easy downgrader.
