No more happy before the true downgrader appears!!!

There are too many doubtful points that we should just sit and see!

You know that WAB released a version changer (2.5) for PSP v1.00/1.50 to allow them to run UMD games that require a firmware of v1.52 or greater?

Does WAB's version changer program actually change the firmware value displayed in the PSP's menu settings?

Could this downgrader video be fake?

I suggest, as did urherenow a few posts ago, that the video *could* really be of a v1.00/1.50 PSP with it's version changed to v1.52 using WAB's version changer. As a v1.00/1.50 PSP it would be capable of running ANY code (such as a fake downgrader), unlike a REAL v1.52 which will be incapable of running anything except properly signed code.

Anyone tried WAB's Version changer 2.5 ?

Ive tried the version changer and yes it does change the value displayed in the Settings menu. So yes, it is possible that thats exactly what they're doing here.

But they wouldnt do that.... would they?

I think wab people don't have a reason for such an ellaborate hoax. They have released some good psp stuff before. So, why don't believe them??

**weejames** · September 6th, 2005, 11:12

Yeah.. to be fair i do believe this is true.. was just stirring it a bit :P

I agree that the tools that WAB have released before are good, very useful. I have used their 'o' to 'x' JAP to USA firmware changer.

However being able to create a signed executable is WAY WAY beyond what they have done before.

Any technique that they can come-up with to launch their "degrader" application can be asserted to running homebrew applications.

I am not saying it is beyond their capability, but I would be very curious to know how they intend to do it.

I don't think this is a hoax. Wab has released great hacks before and it would be really pointless to fake this. They would loose all their reputation and they would probably be killed by mad 1.52 owners
