Is Downgrading the Best Way To Go

[jas0nuk]

The best is to have 1.50
That allows you kernel mode homebrew from the VSH (for emulators with media engine, hardware accel. etc) and DevHook, which will be regularly updated to support new firmwares when the keys come out, as has been promised by Booster.

maybe when its a 100% SUCCESS RATE brick proof IM WAITING FOR fw 1.5 TO DO 2 THINGS EMULATE AT LEAST 2.6 AND A SAFE DOWNGRADER OTHER WISE ILL DEAL WITH THE ELOADER i mean its REALLY IS BETTER in that IF A KERNALL ELOADER IS RELEASED WE 2.6 users could use ANY OF THE SAME APPS,GAMES OR EMUS and have the added bonus of 2.6 games and 2.6 features...

I'd say no to downgrading. Better homebrew suport for higher firmwares thats what i say.

well, you're on crack. lol

You downgraded when it was a developer's version, you knew the risks of using a dev edition. But you did it anyway, and everybody who used the beta is on 1.5 again except for the 3 unfortunate people.

yup

you can play ever game there is for the psp but one with a 1.50 psp. im not talking retail games of course so there is plenty of reason to downgrade

not legaly u cant ...lol...but i know what you mean i feel the same way about 2.6 i have a 1.5 with irshell and smashbros gp and deadlious
so the only game i cant play on my 2.6 is the kernall required smash bro's ......but i do love the whole idea of a downgrader i just think it should be safer and im gonna not jump the gun on this i mean we STILL WONT KNOW LONG TERM EFFECTS YET and frankly the words UNSTABLE shy me away 4 now .....;p

like i said before, it is very easy for sony to stop our ability to load firmware through emulation

no it aint. just create another resource to emulate the security. yur missing something in how u understand how it works.

hardware is the only way to prevent emulation. if your hardware supports certain things it can emulate... certain things. and if it doesnt have those requirements, then it cant emulate that system. sony would have to add a requirement via hardware to overwhelm earlier hardware versions' emulation capability.

in short, if the new security whatever can be ran on any psp (for example, updating), then it can be emulated on any psp.

1.5 can play 2.6 games with umdloaders.

not iso loading but from UMD......lol
i have alot of commercial gamesi both enjoy and support as well as my HB ive bricked 3 psp and returned them to 3 walmarts ....lol....in the name of HB so im on both sides of the fence and for some its 1.5 and for others its 2.6 but the point is as you can see.....it boils down to " what do i prefer ..." and so thats why i think that its such a mixed feeling here...lol...and what i think is gr8 is MOST of you have alot of really good points for both sides this is a gr8 discussion......
