[BluDie]

I found this somewhere and i was wondering if it works...

******************PSP 2.01 Downgrader******************

Yes, this is my PSP (Playstation Portable Version 2.01 Downgrader.

This downgrader works for changing versions from 2.01 to 2.00.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-STEPS-

1) Plug your PSP into your computer via USB Cord and hit "USB Connection" on your PSP.



4) Right click and extract to X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE. Create update if you have to.

Note: On Step 4, You will have to create a folder named update.

Note: On Step 4, X is the Removable Disk Drive

5) Now Switch memory sticks and go to network update on your PSP, and download the 2.6

update.

6) Launch the 2.6 Update under the GAME tab on the PSP, and after the PSP slide that comes

up, put it in sleep mode.

7) While the PSP is in sleep mode, Switch memory sticks to the one that has the 2.00

download on it and download and install 2.0

HAPPY HOMEBREWING!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME CAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO BE RUNNING 1.5!!!

I've got a 1.5 PSP and it refuses to go to sleep mode after the PSP slash screen is displayed.

Seems like a cruel joke to me that is being used to trick people into upgrading to 2.6.

Try turning on your PSP with no UMD disc loaded in, then put one in and run it. When the PSP slash screen plays, try to put it sleep mode (after the music plays, but before the screen fades)

If it goes to sleep, then it MAY work. If not, it's just a joke.

If your PSP DOES go to sleep, then wait for someone else to actually try this little "hack".(hey, better them than you, right?)

Try this out and please report back!

K, it will goto sleep after the slash screen fades but before the first game visuals boot...so what does that mean?

[Alexios I Komnenos]

It means its a fake downgrader.

It means that there is, indeed, a bug introduced in 2.01, and the "hack" MIGHT work.

However, I personally would not try using it myself as "upgrading" to 2.60 is to my disadvantage.

Just wait until someone(hopefully) verifies this claim.

I'd feel a little more secure about this if there was some kind of verification from senior forum users...

Either that or a video going step-by-step.

[mike2355]

it says im a newb on this forum cuz i never use this one im usually on pspforums.com or the official psp forums so i know what im doing.... i dont mind if you don't believe me but soon enough this will be all over all the psp news pages since its quite a development.... im glad to be one of the few that were not scared to try it lol if anyone else decides to downgrade to 2.0 i can help you and then i can also help you downgrade to 1.5 so you can do so much more (such as homebrew and some stuff im probly not aloud to say on here, lets just say read this work backwords "s'osi" :)

If it hasnt been verified by a reputable site/mod/admin, etc. then it's not worth risking. Who is this mike2355 ? You say you are on pspforums ? What's your username ? This hasnt been posted over there because you know I, or another mod, would get rid of the post as soon as it was discovered.

[mike2355]

lol guys dont believe me i lied i just want someone else to try it b4 me lol

[camel99]

F34R is right... Btw does anyone know a site that you can download 2.00 firmware for a Japan PSP

It is very logical (I came up with the idea first!) but I'm afraid that Sony would not have overlooked that when building 2.01.

[jfrancx]

it does not work...as soon as u start the 2.6 update and right after psp flash u put it to sleep mode and change memory sticks and turn it back on it says
PSP UPDATE 2.00 and under it start if u then click start it says: u alrdy have a higher version of this software and so there is no need to upgrade so it actually double checks before u upgrade :) am i the only one who actually did it lol :confused: :)

[mike2355]

ya probly lol are you pissed that u have a 2.6 now? no i would be thanx for having ballz to try this out and sorry everyone for lieing earlier

[NSXR]

[Elsid]

You should be banned, 'tard.

That shit is far from funny.

Agreed, and I think this thread has gone far enough.
