to be used at your own risk. Althouth IT HAS BEEN TESTED SUCCESSFULY it is STILL A BETA.

PASSWORD : I_USE_AT_MY_OWN_RISKS

BEWARE IT'S STILL UNTESTED ON TA-082 HARDWARE !

DON'T EVER FORGET TO THANKS DARK_ALEX and YOSHIHRO Thanks to whom all of this has been possible


Downgrader Test for 2.50/2.60 by Dark_AleX
With the help of yoshihiro and mathieulh from SXT

We thanks everyone who bricked their psp in the past while testing the older revisions of this software

This is a WORKING downgrader see http://alex.lan.st/downdater.mp4

This software is free , and i'm not responsable if it causes damages to your psp.
If you use this software, you agree that you are using this program at your own risk and that you won't blame the author for that.

"Someone told me that a downgrader for 2.50/2.60 was impossible. How does this work?"

This one uses another more risked technique (and i repeat: untested) than the mph downgrader.
It uses some sony libraries found in the 1.50 updater to perform the most critical steps, the logical format of the flash, and the ipl writing. See technical details for more info about how it works.

This software requires that someone with a 1.50 runs a little program and send you the output so you can init the downdate process. (by legal reasons i cannot provide those files directly, that's why this is needed).
The 1.50 program is TOTALLY safe, it only dumps the flash of a 1.50 user and it also extracts some special prx's found in the 1.50 updater.

Technical details
------------------

This program performs the following operations.

- It loads the ipl_update.prx and lflash_fatfmt.prx from the 1.50 updater.

- It performs a logical format of the flash0 partition using the function
sceLflashFatfmtStartFatfm t found in the lflash_fatfmt.prx

- It writes a dump of the 1.50 flash0 to the flash0.

- It writes the Initial Program Loader (Ipl) using the functions sceIplUpdateClearIpl and sceIplUpdateSetIpl from the ipl_update.prx module. The ipl is embedded in that module.


Other considerations:
--------------------

- Users with TA-082 psp's shouldn try this. Also, it may be better that at the beginning, only users with a 2.50/2.60 NOT from factory (they updated from a below firmware) try this.



RELEASE NOTES : as I am posting this at 4AM in the morning Alex is asleep so the sources and changelog will be available when Dark_Alex will wish to.
At this time only the binary is available

This version also performs logging so be sure to have at least 16MB more on your memory stick before performing the downgrade.

THOUGH IM NOT CONDONING USING THIS its just a heads up on whats going on adn what the developers of this downgrader are saying

-i will not post the download of the downgrader here check it out at your own risk

[gunntims0103]

i do not condone using this as its still in the "BETA STAGE" just wanted to give our people a heads up on whats going on no download of the downgrader here as im sure the staff will do so when the downgrader is fully proven as working

[Cap'n 1time]

Please dont do this, Im not actually sure who posted this as official news, but i dont like it. Any crap psp updates spits up is generally... just that.... CRAP!

[gunntims0103]

i agree this is bolony to my eyes but theres been an increse in wanting to know whats going on

-iv deleted the download files

-iv gotten rid of installation instructions just a heads up

[drew4237]

i wouldnt use it, but i ahve a 1.5

[PSPdemon]

Last time i heard of the testing results is that everyone who tried it.....had a bricked psp.....

so i recommend not doing it until its been 100% officailly confirmed that it works flawlessly....

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

[Cap'n 1time]

Whoever is responsible for posting this in the official news section, you better hope I dont find out who it is.... this is just sloppy, unprofessional, and not DCemu material.

[vettacossx]

Well we've had countless news posts on this "downdater" thing. Most people already know the consequences.

[driller_killer]

[the one and only]

[the one and only]

[acn010]

guys, driller killer please stop, your making a hope scene hereok psp user has different psp types around the world and this downgrader only works on a specific psp which that only works, psp users are being agitated and they're desperate to downgrade their psp, so man, if this happends different psp's will brick, i will feel pitty man
so please stop

[Evil Scotsman]

Really im nt joking

I have added he log file if any one wants to c them

[driller_killer]

but im not lying!!! this should be good news and all the people with compatable psp should be rejoicing in happiness. something that was considered impossible has now been made possible! just because a certain amount of psps cant downgrade or the other releases were brickers or its coming from a half ass source like, that doesnt mean you should throw this in the closet and pretend its not there!!!

[the one and only]

driller if you are able to produce a detailed walkthrough to how you did it... you will be able to verify. although evil scotsmans new $420 ornament is a very bad start

[acn010]

guys its not only the walkthrough, its the compatability. and driller killer, we just got our first victim here. and i said it before

guys, driller killer please stop, your making a hope scene here ok. psp user has different psp types around the world and this downgrader only works on a specific psp which that only works, psp users are being agitated and they're desperate to downgrade their psp, so man, if this happends different psp's will brick, i will feel pitty man
