The 2.71 Choice - To Downgrade or use Eloader

[Mark30001]

Hmmm, would downgrading from 2.71 to 2.60/2.50, then that to 1.51 be a safer option than downgrading straight from 2.71 to 1.50?

I would downgrade any day, if I had 2.71!

I can't remember what the exact method is for 2.01+, but from what I remember of the 2.0->1.5 process, you fool the firmware to think it is a 1.0, then upgrade to 1.5.
So you can't really go to a firmware inbetween, I think. Really, if you are willing to risk your psp, why would you go to anything other than 1.5?

That's exactly right. The reason you could not use ME was because kernal access was for fw 1.0-1.5 only.

This new exploit should theoreticaly allow for kernel access which puts a 2.6 on the same level as a 1.5 if all goes smoothly.

As for downgrading, I bought my PSP in May and I still have not downgraded. I love my PSP and it wasn't a simple thing for me to just pony up $230+ for a handheld gadget. I'm glad I did, I was going to spend close to $400 on a pocket pc which did less than the PSP. I get to watch movies, browse the web, listen to music, read pdf books (chm reading is possible if you convert it to PDF using acrobat), emulate other consoles, and play homebrew games.

Why would I want to jeopardize such a good thing right now when I don't even have the inclination to play a UMD game? Why would I want to possibly destroy something that is working fine and will work even better once an eloader is made that supports kernal access?

Umm... Mario All-Stars on the go, answer your question?


Although I spose, if it really does put 1.5 on the same level as 2.6, then you'll get to play that at full speed without downgrading

Ok, I give up... What's ME stand for? I know it's gonna be so friggen obvious once you tell me, hah...

My Opinion

Once 2.71 Eloader Is Perfected With Kernal Why On Earth Would U Downgrade?

2.71 = New 1.5 Soon ?

[Video_freak]

You may be right porchemasi. That's an awesome way to look at it...

ME = Media Engine

Use more memory for speed, thus better performance
