[benh]

I m using flash homebrew and its really good

[jimmi]

mm.. yer i just downgraded my psp to 1.50 , i must say its not the best ya no? sure, having working homebrew from the menu and fastest emus etc. and devhook (my devhook dnt seem to run gta lcs) mite b able to crack further firmwared but sony will release the inevitable super firmware 10.48932478391 or sumthing , and when they do us 1.50ers will b SCEREWD

btw if your feeing generous can u pm about this devhook problem , cheers.

Personally, i wouldn't risk my 2.6 psp, but i also have a 1.5 psp also, so already know the greatness of 1.5.

i say downgrading is the way to go because you can be back at 1.50, the king of homebrew and have access to all homebrew and the ratio of bricks to successful downgrades is 3 : 100+

i don't want to take the risk....is there a possibility that later we won't need 1.5 to run "1.5 only" homebrew on 2.6

[F9zDark]

yes and i could play those other games on my SNES 20 years ago, my n64 10 years ago and i can still play my GameBoy games on a proper GameBoy system. just stop by eBay or your local second hand store, youre sure to find a NES.
and yes to each his own opinion, its just that my opinion is more logical.
EDIT: oh and i havent and wont downgrade my 2.6. waiting for proper kernel access. im moving towards the future.

You're moving closer towards being Sony's butt buddy thats all. Downgrading defies everything that Sony stands for on the PSP, and sends a much greater message to them than just running homebrew alone.

Of course, if you want to continue to upgrade and be a panty waist, supporting Sony's blatant efforts at keeping the end user from utilizing the full potential of their 250 dollar system, then so be it.

But I sure as **** wont.

And the newest Razr phone from Verizon does everything that the PSP will do in the future. And its a hell of a lot cheaper.

Maybe Sony spotted this exploit before hackers did and realized a downgrader was possible. Maybe thats why they rushed out a 2.7 update, just a thought.

honestly, i'd rather just wait for an exploit. Me and my cousin share a psp now (my old one broke, it didn't brick, i dropped it), i have downgraded psp's before but this one seems like a bigger risk then the 2.0 > 1.5 downgrader....plus i don't have GTA

[ninja9393]

Downgrading is good for hombrew and stuff like that. Plus any ISO's and UMD's that are 1.5 to 2.5 can be played on a 1.5 psp. Im going to buy a 2nd psp (ebay) for the update for the ps1 emulator and stuff like that.

My thoughts on the 2.5/2.6 downgrader is that i wouldent personally use it if I had that version of psp cause if it gets bricked, $250.00 out the door.

I have personally used the 2.0 downgrader and I am happy I did use it

well first off if u know what ur doin and read about the subject(meanin find out if u have the right motherboard and if u know u upgraded ur psp to 2.5/2.6) before doin anything the chances of u brickin ur psp r slim to none...i did it to 3 psp's(2.6 downgrader beta for psp-hacks) and one other psp w/ the 2.0 downgrader and i have no regrets at all
