Excellent, truly excellent.

Although I have a 1.50 PSP and enjoy all its abilities as well as 2.50 firmware thanks to DevHook, this is very good news for 2.01+ PSP owners.

And to see that Fanjita is involved. That spells out a recipe for success & happiness.

I love it, Sony puts forth all these security measures to FORCE upgrades and lock out homebrew, but it just creates more exploits.

::ALERT:: ::ALERT:: ::ALERT::

This will no doubt cause hundreds, and maybe thousands to need to rush out to get a copy of GTA: LCS. Warning to those, a NEW GTA version has been released that BLOCKS the exploit that will no doubt be needed. You will need the older, original GTA game. I have it and below I will give the SKU # and UMD serial so that you can go to the store and hunt for it. OR find one on eBay. Here goes:

SKU # (numbers under barcode) -
710425236969

UMD Serial:
ULUS10041

If you find this version, you are good to go. Also, the Europe release of the game may work as well. And the initial Europe release of this game has a UMD Serial as follows:

EUROPE GTA LCS Serial:
ULES00151

I'm pretty sure the NEW version with the Exploit patch will have a different Serial & SKU. So ask the store clerk to go through ALL of their copies of GTA to find the treasured exploitable one using the info I posted above as a guide.

FYI if you want to know where to find the UMD Serial, look on the side binding of the game case under the controller icon.

Hope this info helps those new to the PSP & homebrew realize the greatness we have all come to know and love.

Hmm... It shouldn't be too long before people start creating more downgraders again lol

Even though I wouldn't abandon 1.00 for anything, I have thought of something interesting I might do...

With 0okm's Diehard Firmware 1.00 Backup & Restore program it should be posible to go from fw 1.00 to ANY firmware up to 2.60, and still be able to restore 1.00 again!
(It won't work with current program, but could if 0okm modifies it)

If you are on firmware 1.5, you might not want to upgrade just yet...
For people that haven't upgraded yet and are on fw 1.50, they should back up their flash first!
If for any reason you might want to return to 1.5, it should be possible!

If kernel mode can be accessed, and flash can be written/read then it should be possible to backup: 1.00, 1.50, 2.50 & 2.60.
If so, the following should also be possible:

1. Backup fw 1.00/1.50
2. Upgrade to whatever firmware you want (up to 2.60)
3. Upgrade to either 2.50 or 2.60
4. Run the restore program to go back to fw 1.00/1.50!

This will not work yet (especially if this exploit is fake of course), but it should be easy for 0okm to change his program to do that.

Or someone else should be able to create a program to do that.

great news to see that homebrew will become available to people with newer firmwares,

1.5 users still have no reason to upgrade tho even if all homebrew becomes available, many ppl have already sed that DEVHOOK is a great application that emulates the newer firmwares to use all the PSP features.

2.6 users, if they do have full kernal access wud that mean that the version changer app cud once again fool the psp into thinking its a 1.00, i know its probably not likely but if a similar app was created and cud fool the PSP then wudnt u have your downgrader?

hehe my biggest post ever
