Yes, this is my PSP (Playstation Portable Version 2.01 Downgrader.

ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME CAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO BE RUNNING 1.5!!!

I've got a 1.5 PSP and it refuses to go to sleep mode after the PSP slash screen is displayed.

Seems like a cruel joke to me that is being used to trick people into upgrading to 2.6.

Try turning on your PSP with no UMD disc loaded in, then put one in and run it. When the PSP slash screen plays, try to put it sleep mode (after the music plays, but before the screen fades)

If it goes to sleep, then it MAY work. If not, it's just a joke.

If your PSP DOES go to sleep, then wait for someone else to actually try this little "hack".(hey, better them than you, right?)

Try this out and please report back!

K, it will goto sleep after the slash screen fades but before the first game visuals boot...so what does that mean?

It means its a fake downgrader.

It means that there is, indeed, a bug introduced in 2.01, and the "hack" MIGHT work.

However, I personally would not try using it myself as "upgrading" to 2.60 is to my disadvantage.

Just wait until someone(hopefully) verifies this claim.

ITS WORKS!!!! just make sure you follow it step by step i almost was stuck with a 2.6 until i reread the instructions(didnt bother me much since i have 1 psp at 1.5 and then other a 2.01.... if you decide on downgrading it and are having problems just post it on here and ill help you... thanx to BLUDIE for posting this now i can have 2 1.5 psps all i have to do is downgrade me new 2.0 and then i can just sell my other psp to buy some accessories for this one :))))))))))))))))

So just follow the steps and it should be gravy?

I'd feel a little more secure about this if there was some kind of verification from senior forum users...

Either that or a video going step-by-step.

it says im a newb on this forum cuz i never use this one im usually on pspforums.com or the official psp forums so i know what im doing.... i dont mind if you don't believe me but soon enough this will be all over all the psp news pages since its quite a development.... im glad to be one of the few that were not scared to try it lol if anyone else decides to downgrade to 2.0 i can help you and then i can also help you downgrade to 1.5 so you can do so much more (such as homebrew and some stuff im probly not aloud to say on here, lets just say read this work backwords "s'osi" :)

If it hasnt been verified by a reputable site/mod/admin, etc. then it's not worth risking. Who is this mike2355 ? You say you are on pspforums ? What's your username ? This hasnt been posted over there because you know I, or another mod, would get rid of the post as soon as it was discovered.
