Downgrading of v1.51/v1.52 PSPs to v1.5 !!

[Kaiser]

Of course cracking 2.0 would be the logical next step. The fact remains more people have 1.5X then 2.0's. Just take one victory at a time and be happy for the PSP scene. This is a major victory and as we learn more about the PSP and its firmware we can develop greater games and emulators.

one step at a time my friends

first of all to all those worried about bricking your psp it can be sent to $ony and they will fix it for a relatively nominal fee and those saying hey if they can downgrade why not run homebrew natively... the process to downgrade may not be as simple as running homebrew code but as someone earlier posted hacking a valid update file and changing it to register as the 2.0 update which would also explain why it wouldn't work for 2.0 psps it would take a different manner of hacking to force a 2.0 to "upgrade" to a firmware it knows to be the same or lower than its current version... that and 2.0 doesn't have the same encryption as 1.51/2 particulary the newest us 2.0 version

Do you really think Sony will repair your PSP if you bricked it by trying to "hack" it?!
Thats like Intel sending you a new CPU because your old one burnt the $#@! out
because you overclocked it by factor 2...
I dunno, is this a personal experience of you or have you "heard" of it?

awww... i wanted to sell my 1.5 for a small fortune... > *evil laught*

BigDaddy, of course they'll fix it, they'll charge you but they'll fix it. You've broken the warranty, but sony still want your money. This probably jus tricks your psp into thinking the v1.5 is actually a v2 update. Sony could prob easily fix this issue. fus reflash you psp.

They shall give me the tools they use... Well... no, they don't have to...
I only want the code... YES, THE code.... that verifies the "Verified"-Games...

I think that people should focus on the 2.0 version right now because the update file has been decrypted and, they've already found some way of running homebrew through the offline portal, someone figured out how to get past the loading screen and run a program by tricking the system into thinking it was an update, and also someone figured out what kinds of files the psps ver firmware 2.00 recognizes. Plus, in the future were probably going to have to upgrade to 2.0 in the next month or so when newer games come out. (possibly GTA and Medievil for example) Just think about it Sony also has the White PSP that's going to be a version 2.00 coming out. Wouldn't that be more logical?

future games will probably require 2.0 to run and that is why WAB team created the program called "Wab Version Changer V2".
so that you can trick the psp in thinking that it has been updated and ALL games will run.

aight!?

I have a psp 1.50 but i'm still really happy for the scene due from this achievement. being able to downgrade from 1.5x to 1.50 is ****ing awsome!
i'm sorry for you lame ass who upgraded your psp to 2.0 and cant be happy for those who hoped and waited!

and play some frickin games from an offline portal? i'll rather keep my 1.5 and load them from the stick.

alepus-I have a 1.5 as well with a 1GB memory stick full of plenty of roms and such. . . and I have a 2.0 that I sold to my brother with a 32MB stick so either way; in terms of updates that come with games, i'm ok. If I just buy a new game i'll switch with him because he just loves Tiger Woods. (As do I)

I'm in NO rush to update!

Where did anyone say sony would release the code, dont't emmbarrass yourself, sony would fix it, but will charge.

The updater would be hacked, not with any sony permission, they'll just hack it. Reverse engineer it. If they do the updater will be illegal, but no matter they'll show up on ftp and torrent. probably in the same way that xbox-scene has xbins.

With concern to returning the PSP...heh, the whole process shows the illegitimacy of Sony's threats...

Returns are dealt with at the local level initially, as in the local Joe at your Wal-Mart. So, if your PSP say has a crack right through the screen (intentionally or not) they will instantly give you a new one and send it back to Sony who has there own local Joe working in the f-ed up PSP department. It's only if the head honcho says their doing a random check, even then the process to track YOU down and place any sort of lawsuit is virtually impossible.
If I pay 250 for a system, its mine; open, closed or covered in $#@!.
