1.50 Downgrader for 2.50/2.60 PSPs Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-you-can-play-real-games-on-the-psp dept.

Cyraan writes "PSP owners rejoice! Hot on the heels of the recent exploit discovery & bricking that resulted from early test versions comes a confirmed working downgrader. The method uses a GTA eLoader that will turn any version 2.50/2.60 PSP, with the exception of those with a TA-082 motherboard (how to check without opening/voiding warranty), into a version 1.50 capable of playing all forms of homebrew. One thing that may not be mentioned specifically in the article: it is recommended you NOT use the 32mb Memory Stick that came with the PSP, as the process creates alot of log files that can fill it up, possibly causing a brick."

    Guess what, English is a natural language and, by definition, is changing constantly. a lot -> alot is a common mistake, and it is a rather old mistake, it has been around for the full 22 years I have been onthe planet. If you want to be proficient in english you must be able to parse incorect grammar and spelling because the majority of written english, on the internet expecially, contains atleast some errors.

    The simple solution is not to buy a fucking PSP in the first place. All that Sony wants to do is jam its DRM dong up your ass.

    I read some guy is working on a PC Downgrader. It currently works on Windows VISTA Beta and knocks it down to a Windows 95 OSR 2 box.
    I guess too many people were "BRICKING" their pc's with WGA and all.

    Good Luck with that!
