Noobz has released a new downgrader for PSP, this time v3.03 PSPs can be downgraded to v1.5. The downgrader doesn't work on other firmware versions, but if one has v2.81 - v3.02 firmware, he can upgrade it to v3.03 and then use the downgrader. Ultimately this means that all the PSPs out there can run homebrew and according to Noobz the downgrader is easy to use. Here are the details:

" there are some remnants of 3.03 left in flash. If you later try to re-upgrade to 3.03 and repeat the downgrade, things will break. At some later point, we will work on a cleaner that will remove these extra files. Until then, enjoy! (Don't worry, upgrading to 3.03 OE firmwares still works fine). "
Does anyone know if this could affect the function of certain ISOs? I ask because I have two PSP's, on my old one I can use a backup of xmen w/ no issues but on the one I used the 3.03 downgrader on, the thing skips and stutters during the intro and during gameplay? Really strange. I know the ISO itself is fine because it works on the other PSP, I've tried formatting different memory sticks but it only happens on the 3.03 downgraded PSP.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on here? My homebrew and other backed up ISO's I have work fine. Ironically, the only reason I use the above ISO is because the UMD lags too much. scratching my head. . . .
nads, if you follow the step by step instructions posted here and in the readme, you will be fine. Just take time to read them, make sure you have the three needed files and you'll be straight. Its really not that hard bro.
You need GTA: LCS with 2.00 upgrade! you guys are morons and should of searched google long ago! I bought Five different kinds of GTA and the ones with 2.00 updates worked ONLY! I will send you free betas of downgraders for 3.30 if you are nice;) I will even send it in a nice easy install program! it's a beta so BE CAREFUL IT MIGHT BRICK YOUR PSP IF YOU RE-UPDATE TO 3.03 AGAIN. YOU ALSO TAKE THE RISK OF BRICKING BY USING ANY DOWNGRADERS SO IT'S BY YOUR OWN RISK! Buttttttttttt, the people who made the downgraders made sure you had a small bricking chance

I have the same problem. Ive been searching forum after forum and found that theres a few of us out there but no one seems to know whats cuasing our problem
i downgraded my psp from 3.03 to the 1.5 with the easy downgrade software.worked great as far as i know.but my question is mostly because i don't understand why a few of my functions have stopped.i can't listen to music or look at photo.granted they are not the best features but i likes them.now i just want to know is now that i downgraded with this program is it possible to go back to a newer version of firmware,maybe i'm not looking at everything.but i would rather not be stuck in this situation but here is my bed and i gotta lye in it.
I have just done 2 psp's with this and then upgraded em to 3.03 OE-C No Probs!
Once again a round of applause for the noobz team!
Can't wait for the flash0 cleaner though
