1. As long as your psp is not TA-082 it can be downgraded. You can download emulators and homebrew on fw 1.50
2. If you use the easy downgrader it is very simple
3. It is very easy once you know the basics.

Read some of this also http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/about39858.html

If you want me to go into detail, just ask.

I thought he knew

I hope that you're saying homebrew games, not commercial games :S

[splodger15]

I thought he knew

Most new people dont tend to know
dont worry about it anyway

hi ther ive checked and theres no writing there at all is it safe to use the downgrader and how easy is it to do....sorry about this

[splodger15]

I would update to 2.71 then use the downgrader from there

To update just put the 2.71 eboot here you will have to create the update folder

PSP/GAME/UPDATE

2.71 update can be found here: http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/525

2.71 downgrader here: http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/755

Remeber to read instructions carefully

assuming he has a usb cable.

[splodger15]

Most people do

[willy1753]

if i upgrade to 2.71 will i still be able to downgrade to 1.50 and is it easyer are safer

[splodger15]

Yes you will be able to downgrade as long as you do not have a TA-082 motherboard

[willy1753]

is it safer are just the same risk,i think my wife will kill me if i brick it lol

cheers willy new

[splodger15]

If you read the instructions very carefully it should be easy and work well

[willy1753]

please can you advise me where i might find the instructions to update my psp to 2.71


cheers willy new

[splodger15]

To upgrade to 2.71 create a UPDATE folder in this directory
PSP/GAME/UPDATE
place the 2.71 update eboot in the UPDATE folder

Do this first then get back to me about it

[willy1753]

[weirdelf]

:thumbup:

assuming you own these isos then you should be able to run them through devhook.

[splodger15]

You are not allowed to post devhook as it contains illegal material i would remove the link if i was you

[mnuhaily22]
