[Zion]

Im gonna try your idea now accordian boy. Its worth the risk. Then if that doesnt work im going to try Indiancheese's idea. Dont know if that program works on v2.6 psp though.

nooooooooooooo
it wasnt an idea
if it was that simple every one would already be on 1.5
dont do it
if it bricks dont you dare blame me
dont do it unless you sign a contract completely removing my influence
noooooooooooooooo

if it does work(it shouldnt) i will happily take any praise however

PSPsetx just said wrong psp version when i booted it.

I have a new idea on downgrading. If you look on a few psp websites, a few people are claiming that a v3.0 update is availible on torrent sites. This update a few people have confirmed just changes your psp version to 3.0 but actually the psp is v2.6.

Could whoever created that make a update which changed the verion to 1.0 so we could then update to 1.5?

you know guys, if there's an "updater" to 3.0 and has the same effect of 2.6, why can't they do the same to a 1.5 firmware but making it look like a 2.8 firmware (I wanna still be able to update to 3.0 firmware)

Great idea. Can IRshell work on v2.6 psp's though?

No. That is my problem; if someone could build a program like iR Shell that can freeze EBOOT.PBP files, it would work. But, also, iR Shell only detects homebrew folders with a % in it, and the update only works if it is in the UPDATE folder. So some modifications to it would definately be necessary.

Also, who wants to risk downgrading from 1.50 to 1.50? That is the only thing my idea is good for until someone builds the program described above.


[sigh] I get so angry knowing that the answer is right at our fingertips, hidden within the update. Hopefully, something will appear.

If an downgrader is successfuly made it could make it so we could get the best of both worlds or just brick all of are psp's lol i think it is better to stick to 1.5 for those who have it. and just figure a way to run games with 2.6 on 1.5 without having to use a iso like a umd loader to get 2.6 to run on 1.5.

I think that Envisions downgrader is fake... he said he would release it on April 25th... today is may 4th, and still no downgrader. This leaves me to conclude... FAKE!!!!!!

huh. a regular psdonkey.


anyway, will there ever be a 2.7 hack for 1.5?

[F9zDark]

The only way to find a downgrader option is to discover a means of getting homebrew to work on the higher firmware PSP.

I have said this since the beginning, way back when homebrew graced 1.50 and then later graced 2.0. The downgrader is a direct result of homebrew working, and thus is needed entirely to make the downgrade possible in the first place.

Hacking eboots will not work. Once the eboot is hacked, its AES signature and encryption is nullified and the PSP knows this. Swapping memsticks with 2 firmwares doesn't work either, the PSP knows the firmware is falsified after the swap (since AES encryption is null/doesn't match up/ect).

I think Sony put extra protections into the Update protocols to prevent screw ups which could brick PSPs.

Point is, discover homebrew for 2.70 and the downgrader will be possible.
