HI, my son has a psp 2.01 fw i was going to give this a bash myself to downgrade but tbh i think its over my head and cant afford to replace if bricked, does any members know of a shop or such in the glasgow area that can do this and a rough idea of cost? regards bardar

trust me its very very very very easy, as long as you have the right psp your ok

have a look on PSP Hacks · Hacks, Cracks, Mods, Homebrew, Utilities · Hack Sony Play Station Portable

read it properly, and you will be ok,

I have done 5 psps it is easy as long as you follow the instructions. Maybe upgrading to 2.5 or 2.6 would be easier to downgrade from. Check out the differnt ways to see which is best for you.

i have done loads from 2.00 down to 1.50 and about 7 or 8 from 2.50/2.60 down to 1.50.

trust me, they are very easy, as long as you follow the guides.

and all you need (apart from GTA umd) is in the sticky section in the PSP section

upgrade to 2.71 then use the 2.71 downgrader piece of piss to do

easiest way, no need for gta files, upgrade to 2.71 and use the 2.71 downgrader its easy.

I too am a little dubious about downgrading bymyself and would love to go to a back street shop to do it. What I dont understand is that why dont people just rip the files out of the GTA disc and encorporate them into the automatic downgrader? (If its stupid question - sorry, it because I dont know the technical side of downgrading)

see post above, you dont need gta files, upgrade to 2.71 then use the 2.71 downgrader, it takes you through the process its fool proof, and i mean fool proof.


get on with it.

i was the same m8 never tried myself i too was dubious about downgrading bymyself but i upgraded to 2.71 then use the 2.71 downgrader and as the lads said its fool proof believe m8 if i can do it anyone can

Eventualy plucked up the courage to try this downgrade so got the tut the software and a clean nappy (just in case) sets down to do it and he has somehow got the firmware to 2.81. oh well as far as i can see that isnt fixable yet? or is it? cheers anyway
