Stop being afraid and listen to your options. Also listen to the ones who keep explaining to you that everything is ok as long as you don't upgrade from the disc. The reason you have to upgrade is so your PSP can read a certain video format that only 2.0 firmware has and no swap trick... NO SWAP TRICK... will work. Thank you.

Complete the list below and you will be fine:

1. Get the official 2.0 upgrade online somewhere... don't use the one on the disc. No one trusts Sony. (Isn't that pathetic?)
2. The [MHP_SXT] Downgrader 1.0 is totally fine and is your ticket back to emulation when you get bored with GTA: LCS.
3. Go out and buy the friggin game if you don't already have it. This is the game to have for the PSP.

Now with all that being said... you shouldn't have any further questions. Its that simple... unless you don't know how to use a usb cable. Ok... one more time cause I know you're gonna ask questions reguardless.

1. Get 2.0 upgrade. Don't use the upgrade on the disc.
2. Use the downgrader to get back to 1.5 for emulation.
3. Buy the game and stop being a pansy.
4. Bonus: No swap tricks work! Period! The technology is not there in 1.5. Period!

Everything is fine... I do these simple tasks myself... and you can to! Go for it!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

So you are saying it (PLAYING GTA:LCS) will work on a fw1.5? But only if you had 2.0 on it before, or am I wrong?

PS. Sorry for the question anyway

Ok... lets review! Please read everything and don't freak out. All the answers are here and its really simple.

1. In order to play GTA: LCS: You must upgrade to 2.0
(but do not use the upgrade that is on the GTA:LCS UMD game disc. No one trusts Sony because we believe that the upgrade on the disc is not really 2.0 and no one has the balls to find out yet. Get the Official 2.0 upgrade online before Sony taints that file too and put it on your memory stick via usb cable and your computer.)

Why must you upgrade? The theory is that fireware 1.5 doesn't have the video capabilities to play GTA: LCS. Therefor no swap method works. No version changers work either.

2. If you want to play emulators: You downgrade back to 1.5
(You must use the [MHP_SXT] Downgrader 1.0 which the link can be found somewhere on this site or buy using the search box in this forum.)

Why downgrade? Because it has been proven to be safe by many PSP users... advanced and newbies alike. Also, you want to downgrade if your PSP is 2.0 when you want to be able to play homebrew and emulation.

Any details about these processes can be found in this forum by using the search functions. Oh... btw... THIS GAME IS F'N AWESOME!!! It has to be the best portable game i've played. This is too fun!!! I'm still trying to find out if I can put my own music in the game. Stay tuned!!!

is there any risk upgrading and redowngrading an already downgraded psp?

Like I said... that information can be found within these forums or on the site. Use the search function.

Answer: I have upgraded and downgraded and upgraded and downgraded and have used version changers... etc. You name it.. i've done it except for bricking my psp. I've never done that and I have faith in these guys. They have a passion for this. They want homebrew to co-exsist with the great PSP games.

So again... there is nothing wrong with upgrading a downgraded PSP or downgrading an upgraded PSP... visa versa... etc. etc. Some have the theory that it is bad to do it over and over again. But that hasn't been proven yet and millions of people have been upgrading and downgrading for a while. Just take the dive, get wet, and enjoy your swim time. It's no biggy.

1. That's because you obviously don't know how to read.
2. You're panicing.
3. Again... you're not reading.
4. Advanced and some noob psp users have upgraded and downgraded numerous times without trouble... so why are you asking yourself to choose?

You can upgrade... play gta... then downgrade when you are ready to play homebrew again. Except it and get over it!!

[vincesecuricor2005]

pepsolman, you expect people not to be completely stupid. It's wishfull thinking.

vincesecuricor2005, you're pissed at Sony, huh? Without them you wouldn't even have a PSP. You should be thanking them. Thanks to them, games like LCS are out. If anything, Sony should be pissed at YOU for not keeping up to date on firmware and playing games that they don't want you playing on their system.
