It won't work, that was one of first things they tried when they found out they could run code using a 2.00 exploit... If it was just a case of running a version changer followed by an update, why would they have a complicated and sophisticated downgrader?

The PSP is smarter then you think, you guys don't give Sony much credit, do you?

It's not actually a downgrader. Apparently you never downgraded. The downgrader makes the 2.00 PSP think it is a 1.00 PSP so the 1.50 update can be run, thus downgrading.

Right on! You are not alone!

A downgrader through the GTA save game exploit is probably the most plausible.

But a downgrader is not as important as getting a PSP that can run all homebrew and the latest games. Customized firmwares are being developed and a few have already been released. Soon we will all be able to run homebrew straight off the memory card with no stage in between it. None of these modified firmwares make any of these new games to work yet though. Modified Firmware is the most logical next step for the PSP scene. Even though this may take months or even a couple of years to really take-off.

Downgrading via GTA is not currently possible, and is unlikely to ever be.

And to restate (in paraphrase) the OP's original idea : "Why don't we use a fake exploit method to run a downgrader" - it won't work, there is no such thing as "the v2.50 TIFF overflow override", it's fake.

do not no much about it but if pc could see psp as a device and not a drive
could it be flashed like a pc device firmware upgrade or bios upgrade
independent of psp
