Hi, I am brand new to the psp scene so please excuse my lack of knowledge about psp. my son has one of these systems and im looking at putting games onto the memory system. The psp has firmware version 2.50 installed, there seems to be so many different ways but what is the best way to go with it. thanks! :Cheers:
 
Grab one of the Dark_Alex downgraders mate.

Sites like psp-hacks.net have everything you could possibly ever want.
 
do u own or can get a loan of the game gta liberty city
if so,the easy way is updated to 3.03 firmware http://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/forums/index.php?resources/885/
the use the easy down grader http://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/forums/index.php?resources/1104/
then use this http://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/forums/index.php?resources/1084/

if u have the gta liberty city game make sure it says
psp update ver 2.00
the unpatched ver
later ver wont work

ps all stuff u need is on here in downloads no need to go
anywhere else

make sure psp is fully charged and keep mains pluged in

thanks for your replies, I can't do the files yet as i'm away from the psp unit, I know we have the game, Grand theft auto:liberty city stories which is original, is this the game you mean. and is there a sticky as to where you put these files that you download? thanks
 
You dont need the GTA disc any more that was an old fashioned way of hacking it, there are new all in one easy install packages which are much easier.

doing it this way i found the easiest
any doenst matter what board u have
 
WOW, cheers for the fast replies, i'll have a look when i get home and see what i can do. when i have downgraded and then upgraded can i start downloading the games or is there more to be done before that, already trying to run before i can walk. thanks

it doesnt matter which way u do it as long as u do it safely
without bricking it,and the 3.10 firmware is the dogs bullocks i think we can all
agree on that.
download a game so that u can try it once ur ready
 
3.03 downgrader is not perfect yet. It leaves file remenants in the flash which will brick a PSP if you try and upgrade again to an OFFICIAL firmware.

so i would go the other way but saying that i have done the 3.03 downgrader a few times with no probs,,,so the choice is up to you
 
1. Upgrade to 2.71 official firmware.
2. Run Dark_Alex Generic 2.71 dowgrader (this takes u to 1.50)
3. Install any firware u want or leave it at 1.50

thanks for your help john, much appreciated!!!
 
thanks everybody for your replies, i'll have another read around on the forum and then decide which route to go. basicly all i want to do is be able to download a few games ;.) so my son can play them, not too bothered about updating to the latest official firmware unless i really need too in the future. thanks for all your replies.

just create it yourself.

Once you get to 2.71 you could use this file.

It takes you through the downgrade step by step to 1.50. Just run it from your computer and follow the instructions
