I Really didnt know which topic to post this under, and I dont know if its old news, but thought I should post it anyway.

I just bought PSM3 Magazine today, issue 79, with Defjam on the cover. Anyway, I flicked to page 120, an "Extended Play" feature was there, stating how to downgrade your PSP.

At the bottom of the page, we are shown 17 steps on how to downgrade, with a picture above each step.

Step 2 goes like this.....

"STEP 2: You're not on 2.0? shame, still, 2.5 /2.6 users can ignore this tutorial and grab extremly user friendly downgrader from psp-hacks.com (you'll need GTA LCS) while 2.7 and above cannot be downgraded yet."

and to my surprise, I looked at the pictur given for this step.... and its a picture from the PSP-News board. You can clearly see wraggsters avatar, and also the post, which is actually for the downgrader. Why the hell give the wrong picture? Surely anyone with half a brain cell would not confuse the mighty PSP-News with psp-hacks.

Im trying to take a snap shot of it but my digi camera is acting up and not focusing well on small pictures... I'll keep trying tho.
Again, sorry if this is old.


EDIT :: CHECK DOWN MY NEWER POST FOR FULL PAGE SCANS :) :)

sorry, im not going to get any better shots. The picture is very very small in the magazine the camera is having problems focusing on it. This is the best I can do. The pic at the top is better.

It is still possible to make out the avatar.

heres more, in the same feature... theres a Q and A section...

Question : How do i find homebrew?
Answer : Heres a few sites (among many) to get you started : hackaday.com , hackmypsp.com , pspupdates.com and fanjita.org

Jesus christ, I maybe am being a little anal about it, but if your gonna show the one and only screen dump from an internet website (DCEMU), you could at least mention it SOMEWHERE .

LOL! I can't believe the author confused DCEmu and PSP-Hacks! :rolleyes:

yeah, and I actually thought that PSM3 (or PSM2 as it was known 2 months back) was really on the ball. They even gave PSMonkey a mention during the early development of Monkey64.

Maybe its just a silly mistake, but man.... DCEMU and PSP Hacks.......actually........thats a real dumbass mistake.

I just think its great when DCEMU gets a shout out in a magazine... its great for the site ya know. Definitly the only place I would visit for all my homebrew. I believe the psphacks community sucks compared to the one we have here.

and then these guys at PSM3 go and screw up bigtime.

Sorry Wraggster, I cant get a better shot, its really a small pic man, and my camera doesnt focus too well...

heres the full text under the screenshot of your avatar (the bulletin you have posted is for the "Easy Downgrader 2.5 / 2.6" ---

STEP 2 : You're not on 2.0? Shame, Still, 2.5 / 2.6 users can ignore this tutorial and grab an extremly user-friendly downgrader from http:// ww. psp-hacks. com / file / 605 (you'll need GTA:LCS) while 2.7 and above cannot be downgraded from just yet .

and as I was typing this I remembered, I have a freakin scanner which isn't installed yet. Give me 15 minutes :)
