Having the guts to downgrade

[robbytherob]

I'll real new to the homebrew scene but old to the gaming thing...anyway.I've been looking for ages for a 2.8 downgrader.
I see that it's now out and people seem to be having success with it.
I've now just got to pluck up the courage to go for it.
I'll follow the instruction to the letter but is there one thats easier or safer than the rest.
Please point me in the right direction.
Also been looking at the ps1 on psp thing but that is another day...to get to 1.5 would be a great start.

Just to add......I've looked in the back of the psp and there's no writing etc on the board.
So I take it that means it's not a TA- whatever and the right one to use.

go for it. if your psp is less than a year old and it bricks, sony will replace it for you (just dont say you were trying to downgrade lol). anyway it's unlikely to brick unless you make a drastic mistake or are very unlucky and your flash is corrupt or some other $#@!.

[robbytherob]

Right,I've been reading and reading instructions.
Just a few questions.
When loading the Hen files it says to copy the MS_ROOT files to the root of the memory card.
By that do you mean the MP_ROOT file on the psp?
So new to all this and the lingo is killing me.
And when it talks of the XMB whats that ????
Please help as I feel like I'm missing out on so much.

on the zip/rar you should see a MS_ROOT folder extract it to your psp memory stick root

the xmb is the menu where you have video picture game network and settings

[robbytherob]

Cheers for that...I'll give it a go.
