Let me just check the obvious things first...

1. You realise that you can't run UMD Games when you're running 1.5 firmware, right?

2. To run UMDs, you still need to use Devhook. When you select what game you want to run in DH, select "UMD Drive" and start up as you would normally start a game from you MS.

Because Devhook tells the PSP that the game in the UMD drive is something other than what it really is, you can't just throw in a disk when you're running 2.7 and play it. You still have to go through Devhook.

Is this your problem or have I misunderstood?

you have missunderstood or I maybe explained too badly when i put a umd in to my psp it just have that little loadning thing to the right button and nevver loads i cant evean se the Umd Icon!

Can you move freely between 2.71 and emulated 1.5? If so, it doesn't seem like a firmweare problem.
You could try down then upgrading to see if it helps. Good luck and stop using iso's. Nothing good will come of them.

Look bro you gotta do the following, this has happened to me, that is how I know.
1.Reset your PSP to default setting
2.Reflash your 2.71 using generic downgrader
3.Re-install Devhook.
If this results in your PSP turning into a brick because of the reflashing I am not responsible.
Do step One, if it dosn't work, do step 2, if that dosn't work, try number3.

aright does it work to do the downgrader/reflash when i have henc installed

[mbr7]

OKay Last question when I read the read me of it I got abit confused help me out..

- Get the EBOOT.PBP of the update you want to install, and copy it with the name of "UPDATE.PBP" to
/PSP/GAME/UPDATE

And on qj it said

Now simply extract the files in the downgrader archive below to your PSP and paste the EBOOT.PBP file of the updater into the PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.


So do I name the update file to update.pbp ? or do I leave it as the name is ?

[mnuhaily22]

It would be a lot Safer to use option 1, but if you insist, rename it to UPDATE.PBP.

[mnuhaily22]

aright does it work to do the downgrader/reflash when i have henc installed
Ya, I beleive you have to run it while the HenC is on.

[mbr7]

Ya, I beleive you have to run it while the HenC is on.

sense you did it how long did it take for the flashing

[mnuhaily22]

It takes about as long as an UPDATE takes, but again, I am going to tell you again that option 1 is the safest.

[mnuhaily22]

What happened bro, did it work?

[tuta]

hey his psp is a ta-82 he cant downgrade

[jak66]

yes, he can degrade to 2.50 but no further, degrading to 2.50/2.60/2.70 or reflashing his 2.71 will not result in a brick if it finishes successfully,if he tries degrading to 1.50 or 2.00 then that will result imn a brick, even if it does finish successfully

[tuta]

ok I get it now so ta-82 can down to 2.5 thats new psp knowledge for me:D

[jak66]

well, im not even to sure, but that what was said when the generic degrade came out, so i guess its been tried and tested otherwise someone would be getting lots of hate (e-)mail right about now

[mnuhaily22]

Ya, ta-082's are caple in running firmwares 2.50,2.60,2.70,2.71,2.80,and 2.81 so far...

[mbr7]

What happened bro, did it work?

I tried reflashing it and it took like 5 secconds and then it lunched the xmb menu again and nothing changed I think dident do any reflashing at all

[mnuhaily22]

Update to 2.71, then it should work since it is all sony, and if it don't work for you just use *cough*is*cough*o's*cough*, they are faster, and they work like a momma.
