Do the exact same thing but with a 1.51 or 1.52...

Heh, just kidding...well it does, but just kidding about acting retarded.

This has been tried before, maybe on a 2.0, maybe not, but the people that did it didn't email it to every PSP site on the internet.

By the way, does anyone know the name of the kid who did this? And if it updates your PSP?

Nah it doesnt update your PSP, but jesus christ, on a few other PSP sites, the guy is BEGGING for recognition for something other people have done tons of times already. At least half of his 3 paragraph post reinstates his aliases and his real name. The guy is an attention whore...at least that's my take on it.

If this widespread information leads to another person cracking the firmware, more power to the guy for getting it out there, but as of now i'm staying safe and sticking with my 1.5.

Also, i've noticed there aren't as many 1.5/2.0 haters on this site. Awesome. I love peace.

It just looks like he changed UPDATE_VER from 2.00 to 2.10 in the SFO file. Naturally the PSP will try to execute the code, thats how Sony has it set up, to upgrade to the latest version. Take an SFO file from an emulator that runs on 1.50, you'll notice UPDATE_VER is 2.00. If you change it to 1.00 it won't run, it will say you already have the latest firmware version.

Sorry for the double post guys, but I'm actually pretty sure you can update from the JP release. I've heard from multiple sources that the US will overwrite the Japanese. I could be totally wrong though.

to Shapyi: That's exactly what the guy did, and that's why I'm kind of staying on the negative side of this whole "hack". The reason the program won't run, is because Sony's security measures notice that it's not an upgrade and stop it from executing.

Errrr....maybe I should've put a :rolleyes: after that last sentence? lol

I was being sarcastic about the kid saying his internet aliases like 5 times and that it won't update your PSP about 5 times also :D :p.

I'm not sure if it'll overwrite the JP firmware, since they are both 2.0, but I haven't looked into it, so it may be possible.

Also, to the original poster who asked, you said would a future US firmware (quote - "2.X", any thing 2.0+) overwrite the 2.0 JP firmware, well, the JP firmware overwrote your US firmware, so I wouldn't see any reason why the US firmware wouldn't overwrite the JP firmware.

Maybe I should have toned the use of "firmware" down a bit? :p

Dammit! New to the site and making an ass of myself already! :D

wich one is harder to hack , firmware 1.52 of firmware 2.00 ? :confused:

I meant other than 2.0 say US 2.1 im guessing it will overwrite the JP 2.0 correct? Im not going to get the US 2.0 with all these goodies arising.

/me crosses fingers.

coheed: Not at all ;).

Predator: Not sure.

TMG: See my post above.
