I've downgraded for about 4 people and have always spread the word to not upgrade:)Patience is the key.It sure does seem like sony is becoming more and more like microsoft and that microsoft is actually starting to move in the other direction,albeit slowly.
Well, since i havent been in the homebrew scene for quite a while, was wondering some things about the Dev Hook, like whats the latest version, info about it like is it safe to use, would it brick my psp, and other info, if there's another thread about, care to give me a link to it?
I tell evryone i know with a psp not to update i show them homebrew only one person i know refuses to listen to me but i put emus on psps for people i gave away some memory sticks ive downgraded for people....Remember friends dont let friends downgrade!
u mean friends dun let friends upgrade perhaps?Quote:

As for the program itself maybe you know but I'll say it anyway: once you start it from your 1.50 psp it will take you to a short menu and past that it will reboot your psp as if a 2.71 (allowing you to play games up to the 2.71 firmware and using all those features like internet explorer), when you're tired of the 2.71 and want to go back simply turn off the psp and then on again and you'll have your 1.50 again (I think newer versions can do away with this but not mine so I've just wrote what I know).
As for how to install it refer to the istructions in the file you download, but if you encounter any problem just leave a post. Latest version should be 0.44 or 0.45 I'm not too sure (I'm using 0.44).
Hope I was helpful :)
I have downgraded 6 pf my friends and families psp's so and installed devhook on them all, so I think I'm doing my bit for spreading the word!
ive downgraded 8 psps so far.
street fighter 2 over wireless rules :p
so i spread the word.
I think that its only fair to tell people not to upgrade but I also think we still have to respect Sony as they've brought us many great and enjoyable products - the PS1, PS2, PSP and soon the PS3. The amount of threads for "How do I load ISOs" that we see everyday, you can't blame them for blocking homebrew. :rolleyes:Quote:

However, a couple of people I know were kinda interested in purchasing PSPs based on a few of things they saw on mine. When told about firmware updates that might make it impossible to play these programs on newly bought machines, both decided to give it more thought.
They both have yet to buy PSPs.
Good job, Sony!
i tell people not to upgrade and to use devhook :)
