upgrade to 2.6 and use the 2.6 downgrader.

Or upgrade to 2.71 and downgrade

(much better because you dont need GTA :))

If you have access to an unpatched version of GTA perhaps you should use the 2.6 downgrading method. I am only assuming here but isn't the 2.6 downgrading method more stable than the 2.71 to 1.5 method.....

anyway after u downgrade u may want to upgrade to 2.0 and then downgrade it again to 1.5

it's supposed to solve a couple of glitches i heard

Upgrading to 2.60 and then downgrading to 1.50 is the safest route. But if you don't have GTA:LCS, then upgrade to 2.71 and downgrade to 1.50 from there.

But whichever way you choose to do it, make sure that after you've downgraded to 1.50, that you upgrade to 2.00, and then downgrade back to 1.50 again.

The 2.60 downgrader and the 2.71 downgrader BOTH leave you with a glitchy, imperfect version of 1.50 (the 2.71 downgrader leaves you with an even glitchier version). However, the 2.00 downgrader leaves you with a clean, perfect, glitch-free version of 1.50.

This is why you absolutely MUST upgrade to 2.00 and then downgrade to 1.50 from there. A lot of the homebrew stuff can easily brick your PSP if you don't.

you could also use the downdater once you have 1.50, which will bring you down to 1.00 then you just update back to 1.50, i find this method alot faster than the 2.00 update and downgrade method :)

I also want to do the same from 2.01 > 1.5 I have a unpatched GTA LCS so i will go up to 2.6 down to 1.5 up to 2.0 the down to 1.5, but were do i get the upgrader and downgraders from Thanx for helping.

Yeah, im in the same boat but i have 2.00 and the unpatched gta game.Where can i find an update for 2.00 to 2.6?
Does anyone have any instructions on how to use the gta lcs exploit.I hear that you use somthing else with it to downgrade,also is it safe

Any method that you can get away with will be fine, as long as you make sure you upgrade to 2.00, then back down to 1.50.

For what its worth, I went from 2.71 > 1.50 > 2.00 >1.50 and have not had a single problem.

I suggest the new 2.01 downgrader because it is the safest one.

Ok so who's brave enough to put it to the test and post there results.
For those who aren't maybe they will come up with a crack that will rid the downgrade method for good.
Had a look on ebay,there is a company who live in london who offer a downgrade service which they will do for you at the cost of £20 and will even travel to you within a 30 mile radius.

i tried the 2.1 dg on my friends psp and it was having alot of trouble, it kept saying something about flash so i did the old upgrade to 2.5 and used dark alex's easy downgrader install.

If you have GTA:LCS unpatched (the one which requires 2.00 FW to play it) then use the 2.5/6 east downgrader.

how do i know if i have GTA:LCS unpatched (the one which requires 2.00 FW to play it) because i do have gta and is that the safest method

When you put the UMD in your drive, does it have an update to 2.0 or 2.6? The 2.0 one is the unpatched version. If you have this one then upgrade to 2.5/6 and use the 2.5/6 downgrader. It's easy and will walk you through it step by step. Make sure you have your PSP plugged in to the mains though.

so that means i have the unpatched Gta. and waht does this mean "Make sure you have your PSP plugged in to the mains though." and is it the safest method

Yes it safe to plug it in the charger , if it wasn't safe to plug it alot of person would have bricked psp by doing that...
