so i just got a new psp and i need some help getting into it. i know you can do alot of stuff and one thing im interested in is the GPS. i just downloaded the MapTHis! from deniska but if someone can help me with some step by step instalations that would be cool because i have no idea what certain terms are and a step by step would help a moron like me. P.S. does the map this work in america Cuz im in the states?

What firmware are you running?

And im not sure about mapthis, but you will need a homebrew enabled firmware.

So whats your firmware?

That might not be right, but its something like that.

Sorry, dont post more than once. I went for a while if thats ok? jeez.

You need to downgrade your PSP to 1.50

You will need a unpatched version of Grand theft auto - LCS.

If you havent, its a no go.

turn your psp on then go under "game" you should see a icon that says "psp update ver 2.00" if it says 2.60 insted of 2.00 you cant downgrade

it says psp update ver 2.00, but when i click on it it says the system software or your psp is version 3.03. there is no need to update.

ok DONT UPDATE your firmware anyware past 3.03! i would explain the values of downgrading and installing custom firmware but i have to go! someone please tell this guy what he is doing before downgrading and about the risk!

Download the 3.03 update from here:
http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.03-PSP/pg/12/fid/11844/catid/163

Then update it.
(Place the EBOOT.PBP file in /PSP/GAME/UPDATE/

Then use this downgrader:
http://dl.qj.net/Downgrader-for-v3.03-PSP-PSP/pg/12/fid/12431/catid/114

There should be a readme telling you how to downgrade.

* Note that there is always a risk of bricking during a downgrade, even though it is HIGHLY unlikley. I take no responsibility if you damage your psp in any way.

Good luck! :D
