Nope you can't downgrade.

You can if you have soldering skills. Just take out the flash chip inside the PSP and replace it with a 1.50 one.

:confused:

Seeing as that the only place you can get a flash chip that has 1.50 on it is an actual 1.50 PSP, wouldn't it be easier to just leave it in and use that PSP?

just curious will it ever be possible that a downgrader will be made for the 2.1s and up or did sony really just block that option off? after all they did downgrade 2.0

You don't need to downgrade anymore to run some homebrew.


Try here :http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/317

It may not work with all homebrew but its worth a try. I have not tried it myself as I have a 1.5.

this happened to me once. i bought a 2.6 psp. then i bought a 1.5 sold the 2.6 psp for some money and lost no money in the proscess. why cant the 2.6 owners go on ebay.com and buy a 1.5 psp? its only 150 bucks. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-PSP-Value-Pack-Version-1-5_W0QQitemZ8270045157QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZV iewItem
Am i the only one who thinks that we should make a rule that goes like: Don't ask question about downgrading from 2.xx to 1.xx.
that way we can go on to more important things for the psp.

I got a psp 2.50 and was happy with it I use for the offical game.And then I found a second hand psp 2.00 and downgraded to 1.50 which I use for the homebrew and emulator. So All I can say is look for a 2.00 and downgraded plus if you can take your other psp back to the shop. Or do what Hawkeyefile did and sell your after you find a 1.5 or 2.0.

not that i know of, just try breakign through the encryption, it would take at least a couple of months. and by then sony would have released their "new" firmware, with "new features" and "bug fixes".

Excellent idea! Sick of everyday reading threads with the same questions asked.. Is their a downgrader for 2.1 then 2.5 and also for 2.6.. Really i'm all for asking questions and never mind answering or helping people here just ask the people ive helped.. but yeah N00bs really need to search the forums before posting ;)

NO there will never ever be a downgrader for 2.01+ because YOU CANT ACCESS FLASH IN USER MODE. the only thing that could access flash is the sony updates and u cant do the switch memory stick thing cuz even if u did get into a 1.5 update on 2.01 when you hit "start" it would error and say "your firmware is 2.01 there is no need to update"
so, no

but someday there may be a way to downgrade
