I know he was using ELoader, and when i got it i tried to play metal gear acid 2, and it said it needed to update from 2.5 to 2.6. So i tried to, and it says that it can't upgrade because the data is corrupt, with no error code. Is there anything i can do to update? I'm going to try and download the update once he brings the usb cable over.

dont you want to update to 2.6 to downgrade to 1.5 (devhook lets you emulate 2.71)

Its illegal to upload any firmware eboots on any site (outside Sony's official one) and dcemu won't allow links to it. However if you were to pm him a link I'm sure we'd look the other way. ;)

so once you have the eboot, you make a folder called GAME inside PSP. inside GAME, you make a folder called UPDATE. you put the eboot in UPDATE

Pathetique

yeah... so, i'm getting the same message... maybe the system only thinks it's 2.5 or something? all of the folders were in caps too

Hey Path...Don't wanna be a prick there, but you're spamming and even cuatrouple posting in some instances, and the mods aren't gonna take it lightly if they see this.

Downgrade to 1.5 and then use Dev Hook to play all your 2.0+ games.

lol, all u need to do is go to a hot spot or somewhere with wireless internet, and do a network update. trust me, if u do that downgrading stuff, itll get really complicated
