LMFAO, just sell ur 2.6, cut your losses, and find a 2.0 and downgrade it, that way you wont pop a nerve in your brain tryin to switch motherboards!! Anyway, i have never heard of some1 swapping motherboards, theoretically it should work, but never heard of a successful swap.

Actually, its a downgrade:) If u check the forums today, there was news that the first mod chip for the psp has surfaced, and will allow 2.6 psp users to finally play homebrew.

I'm not trying to be funny, but if you're extremely good at soldering and know c++, you can flash your 2.6 firmware with 1.5 using the computer.

You'll have to write your own software, which.... will be a problem.

Anyhow, there is a thing called "ppflash" for the Nintendo DS, and it's VERY similar.

I was going to do it, but then the Passkey 2 came out! :D

Own:
Xbox v1.6 Softmodded
Nintendo DS w/ M3, Passkey, Passkey 2, Flashme v7
PSP FW v.2.00 (R.I.P.)
Playstation 2 (Waiting to get modchip installed!)
Nintendo Gamecube Unmodded

Getting:
My freakin PS2 Modchip installed!
Brand new PSP
Unduilted Platnium Modchip

@ublade, im sure ur correct that it is possible with the correct programming background, but for the average user, c++ is like a foreign language, and hardly worth the trouble, since u can probably brick ur psp a a nanosecond.

Thx for the info though, never knew that it was possible to downgrade a 2.6 by any means:)

bein on acid wouldn't help him, maybe some meth/speed would do the trick, he'd prolly start rippin everything apart.
