why would you want to upgrade? you can easily downgrade from 2.0 to 1.5

extract the eboot , place in in PSP--GAME--UPDATE and launch. I dont see why you are upgrading. 2.5 is downgradable but it still a pretty pointless move.

Yeah and if you want the features of 2.5 just downgrade to firmware 1.5. Then you can use DevHook to emulate 3.02 and get those features.

So why are you upgrading?

But first you need to copy the 2.5 EBOOT.PBP to the update folder that you made :)

BTW dont talk in all caps.

Now copy it to X:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE\ (where X is the drive letter of your PSP). Now on your PSP go to GAME-->Memory Stick and then select the Update.

Huh thats strange. Are you sure that you put the EBOOT.PBP into X:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE\?

Try re-downloading the Update.
