I just bought a used PSP and i'm assuming that the firmware version is 2.60(system software). Can some one tell me where I can get an easy to follow guide or just a site that sells chips cheap(in canadian)? That would be nice!
And I've searched for sites on google.... I don't get much.
Thanks!

Whats the chance of getting bricked?
And the text MUST be on the right side for it to be a TA-082 board right(to be sure, I'm a little nervous lol)? Because I have text like that on the left that's a little hidden.

Use this downgrader for 2.71 to 1.5:

This is the one i used and it worked like a charm. Make sure you read carefully and follow instructions.

My PSP: 2.71 -> 1.50 -> 3.40 OE-A -> 3.52 M33-4 -> Brick -> Pandoras Battery + Magic Mem -> 3.90 M33-3

it depends on the motherboard that your psp have ,if you have a pink psp is a ta-086 motherboard
one downgrader is for ta-082 and ta-086 motherboards
the other it's for ta-079 and ta-081 motherboards

I have text on the left that's kind of hdden, does that mean that I have a TA-079 or a TA-081?
And what are the chances of getting bricked with these downgraders? Lol this thing cost me a PS2 Slim, 7 games, a dvd remote and $65.00, and the PSP is used!

wow, u got ripped off. anyway, if u have hidden text on the LEFT HAND SIDE, it is ta-079 to ta-081, and u need to use the GENERIC downgrader. if there was text on the RIGHT HAND SIDE, that IS NOT HIDDEN, use the ta-082 downgrader.

HUGE RIP OFF! But I had 2 PS2's(kept the fatty) and the games I sold, if I ever want to play them again, I'll just cogswap :)
Thanks for ironing that out for me :)

The text on the left is doesn't mean anything, the text in the top right means it's a ta-082. It has to be there for it to be a ta-082.

ok what's safer: 2.60-2.71-downgrade or 2.60-2.80-downgrade?
Someone just told me that it's better to downgrade form 2.80 instead of 2.71.
This is confusing :S

No 2.71 is easier. 2.80 downgrader is the least stable.

Ok thanks to everyone that helped me. If I need anymore help, I'll make a new topic or something...
Now all I need is a memory stick so I can get things started(pfft like I'm gonna pay $150.00 for a 4gb card).

Finally got card! Yay.
Now that I'm trying to update to 2.71, it says that the .PHB or whatever has to be put in the /PSP/Game/Update. I have no /Game/Update. The only thing under /PSP is /SAVEDATA. What do I do?
*Oops, never saw that... I just had to format the memory stick!
** Ok I created a folder and called it UPDATE and put the EBOOT update for 2.71 in it. Now how do I get it to update?

Ok I figured that out... Now for the downgrading...
I'm using the Generic Downgrader, and I'm a little confused. Do I go into the MS_ROOT, copy PSP and replace the PSP folder on my PSP with that, and then just copy and paste the folder SRC beside the MS_ROOT and PSP folders on my PSP?
