ooooooh! sweet! my other psp can still be saved.

How does the OP have 3.10?! no psps that you can buy in most stores have it loaded, no games require it, it isn't benneficial feature-wise at all, and the list goes on. Many psp coders worked hard to make it so everyone could download, and until now I didn't think it was possible for some1 to screw that up. Sorry OP, but to find someone once again, after I thought it wouldn't happen for at least a few weeks, asking for a downgrader just strikes a minor-second in my soul

Right then, I'll explain how to do it.

1 - Get the downgrader HERE and unpack the zip folder somewhere.

2 - Format your memory stick. If there's stuff on it, you should back it up to your PC first.

3 - In the unzipped downgrader folder, copy the PSP folder that's located inside MS_ROOT to the memory stick root.

4 - Start an unpatched UMD of GTA:LCS. An unpatched version can be identified by the serial number ULES 000-151# on the disk itself. After it loads the save data, the screen will go black and then blue. You will be returned to the XMB.

5 - Now go to Settings, System Settings and System Information to check the firmware version. If it says 3.03 HEN, you can start the downgrader.

6 - Run the downgrader called PSP™ Update ver X.YZ from the memory stick in the GAME menu. You need at least 75% battery power for it to work. If it detects you PSP is a TA-082/TA-086, it will ask you to patch your system before continuing. Accept this. Now you will be asked if you want to start the downgrade process. Press X to confirm.

If you have started the downgrading process, do not touch your PSP until it is finished and askes to restart. When you reboot it, an error screen will appear. Press O to continue Your settings will be reset and you will have to set them up as if you first got your PSP. Now all you have to do is check if you have version 1.50 under Settings, System Settings and System Information.

im sorry to say but i dont really understand what your so sad about (can you please elaborate, as to why?)...

and what does OP mean?

as for the part that my psp has a v3.10 is because i update monthly, that is why i have a v3.10 as for the other one, i merely forgot(a good thing at that) to update it. iam glad that sony makes this update but i would like to try something new.

thanks for the guide YKB.^_^

Q: i can downgrade this til i get to a 3.0x oe firmware right?..

more questions.........

uhh, how do i understand the things that people are talking in this forum?
cause i cant seem to understand the terminologies..................................... ......

and

Q: Can Genso Suikoden I&II be translated in english? (this merely a yes or no question, even if there is a small possiblity to it being done. cause i think this falls under the do-not-talk-about-things.) cause i know for a fact that the game only comes in japanese.

more noob-ish questions..
Q: do i still update using sony or do i now have to rely on homebrew to do updates?

more questions..
im still doubtful on downgrading sorry for this guys..

um i read in some threads that you need a umd disk to downgrade, more especifically you need a GTA?..
is this true?

and what are the pros and cons of downgrading? (i know i should have asked this the first time)

[please understand that i am not able to buy a new one if i get my psp bricked, cause i dont earn that much , Im not that techno-literate thats why im afraid to try. most of the time, i just feel my way thru my psp and such.]

You cannot downgrade at all on 3.10

**devilishgrin** · February 6th, 2007, 20:13

no no, i know one that has v3.03 firmware, and were gonna swap if ever.

**robbytherob** · February 7th, 2007, 16:26

Be real careful about downgrading at all times and read the instruction inside out.....i still haven't done mine yet because just can't get my head round it and can't afford to brick it and have to buy another one.....but this is still a great site with the downgrading/firmware things.
