The guide talks about appropriate downgraders depending on what version firmware you have. Problem is, I don't know what version I currently have, nor do I have the PSP box it came in to check.

My question is: I have the 1.50 firmware downloaded, can I just copy it to my psp and overwrite? Or do I need to find out what version I have and get the appropriate downgrader? If so, what is another way to find out what current version firmware your psp is using?

You will need to use a Pandora Battery + Magic Memory Stick. That is your only option.

Do you have or have a friend that has a Custom Firmware PSP?

You will either need to get a PSP that has custom firmware and follow this guide HERE to make a Pandora battery + magic memory Stick which will install 3.71 M33-2 custom firmware onto your PSP.

Or

You will need to use a Easy installer and Buy a Datel Tool Battery or Hardmod your battery into service mode so you can boot the Magic memory Stick.

So first find out if you can get your hands on a PSP that has custom firmware on it. if so use the above guide. if you can't let me know and I will give you instructions to do it the other way.

Just remember if you use that guide and those applications you will need to use a custom firmware PSP to create it. the Applications will not run on a Official Firmware PSP.

*Nods*. I'm virtually positive my friends PSP is below version 3.50. I just have to call him and have him bring it over.

If you need guides to downgrade then go HERE.

Just so you know...

PSP systems between -3.10 - 3.50 will need an unpatched version of Lumines.

PSP systems between -2.81 - 3.03 will need a unpatched version of GTA Liberty City Stories.

PSP systems -2.80 and below can be downgraded without a Game Exploit.

Anything that is 3.51 or above will need a Pandora Battery + Magic Memory Stick.
