Dark_alex Downgrader for 2.5/2.6 Bricks (DO NOT USE)

[**1_Man_Matrix**]

Sorry to hear that man. It really sucks.

But if I were you, I'd keep that bricked PSP. With the mod chip coming out soon, you will have a PSP to use to try and install the chip. And if it works, thats great, you're PSP is back and running and perhaps one day, the bricked chip can be reflashed with the help of the mod chip.

If it doesn't work, oh well, its not like you had anything to lose. And you can probably still return it to Walmart after that, so long as you at least put it back together.

The retards at Sony can figure out wtf to do with it after Walmart sends it back to them.

Sony aren't retards, they're just mis-understood

...

...

Ok, they're retards

I'd buy the bricked psp... then stick a 50 quid mod chip in it and sell it off for a few hundred quid!

Seriously! If I can pull off my first modchip installation of successfully, then I might as well buy as many cheap bricked PSPs as I can...
Stick a modchip in each one and sell them off as modchip pre-fitted PSPs!

You are a dodgy, dodgy human being



Just kidding, wish I had thought of it first!

i have a lot of respect for this site and its affiliates (ie psmonkey) and the legit psp news they bring to the table... but some of these so-called editorial pieces that seem to put a spin on things or cast things in a certain light? hmmm... i don't know if i like what i see going on at this site anymore.

granted, i probably should've aimed more at comments than actual articles, but this is a case-in-point:

I wouldnt be suprised if you were right. Thats probably who DARK_ALEX is... just a jacka$$ from Sony,

like i mentioned before in a previous post, "my comments to be honest were more in reaction to the defamation of character to someone i respect, and the seeming oversight of anyone to clarify. the same thing happened the other day on strmnnrmn's blog... they were mixing up PSMonkey with a certain other furry PS quadraped who has also become quite taboo to mention. the mixup bugged me, and it seemed to go overlooked for quite a while... but it was finally cleared up. "

and i'm glad that others aren't just letting the defamation go completely unchecked too...

Please research the facts before insulting one of the PSP Scenes most respected talents. Dark_Alex is the creator of DAXZISO compression, DAX Creator, DAX Loader, and even nethostfs which the highly praised iR Shell uses. He would NEVER release anything so that people would brick their PSP's. If you read correctly in the right places it clearly states that this was more of a "test concept" and still a W.I.P. and was EXTREMELY risky. Actually, what people are learning from this is no doubt increasing the inevitablity of a SAFE downgrader. This was intended for 'expendable' or "labrat PSP's". Not for the poor kid with a 2.60 he got for his Birthday that is way too eager to have all the goodness of homebrew.


... Any work from Dark_Alex is always bound to bring good things to the PSP Scene.

HAHAH ive read this whole forum adn what Ive seen here is pretty funny. From con men to ppl calling dark an a$$... wow... ANYWAY, heres my advice. If you do take bak your brinked psp's to walmart adn do get another one, then good job. If you don't then i suggest buying a modchip. It makes alot of sense because u rly do have nothing to lose by doing this. Also don't hate on all teh coders/ homebrew developers for their efforts for they as well as us like homebrews. thats why theyre making these applications to run on your psp. And btw, Ball_Sac, its kinda your fault why ur psp got brinked. Like i remember when I was @ firmware 2.00 and they had the downgrader bakc to 1.5 (which i bought ma psp at the time... i was soo dum to upgrade but i dint kno about homebrews ath this magnitude at the time) i refused to use it bcuz i was afraid it would brink my psp. even though my friend did it and it worked i stuck to it and neva downgrade( man Im so dumb) anyways the point is i did extensive research on that downgrader( about one full week of research) to decide if i should do this. anyway, the lesson learned is to look ahead 2 steps forward before you take 1. (btw im srry ur psp is dead... ill b glad to buy it off of u if u want... juss contact me @ [email protected])

I heard about this, but didnt want to update to 2.5 to downgrade to that new F/W codenamed "brick"..


And, Grammar anyone?

[psp411]

also, dark_alex isnt just the only great programmer. DOnt forget fanjita and ditlew... after all they made the infamous eloader tht u can use for gta:lcs ( in my opinion, theyre the greatest homebrew makers ever)

Translation:
I find this forum rather humourous, including, but not limited to, it's occupants therein. There are rather dubious indiviuals present, aswell as those who feel the need to refer to Mr Dark Alex by some questionably offensive names. This excites me. My opinion on the matter is thus, I will congratulate you on being able to dupe the large corporation known as Walmart, with oneself taking such damaged Playstation Portables and exchanging for new, working devices. Do not feel negatively towards developers or coders in the Homebrew scene, as they are giving us all their very best efforts. I pertain one, Mr Ball Sac, to be a rather gullbile individual who has only himself to blame for his actions and the consequences thereof. A close comrade of mine was able to successfully perform such a downgrade on the device, alas, I still remained skeptical on the subject. Good luck and god speed.

oh god, i knew this would happend.
i was gonna try to downgrade my 2nd psp but i wasn't sure till now.. sorry to hear this man.
i feel kinda guilty now

the psp and the wallmart thing, go to a walmart that is rarely selling psp's
reason is that maybe they have psp that has a letter encoded, try to search for the letter A, B, C, D or no letter, these letter represents the type of versions it has between 1.50-2.00 and how old is the psp/
hope thyis will help you.
