i dont know about the easy downgrader but it is supposed to be really easy to use as it tells you what to do and where to place the files but i havn't used it so i can't tell you if it is good sorry but i have heard it is really good

IDK if gtaUK told you, but he was a 2.60 owner and used the downgrader. So he's another success story...

after it has stopped flashing it should reboot by itself, if not and the memory stick has stopped flashing then wait a couple of minutes then do a hard reboot and then turn it back on if it flashed successfully then you will get a 1.5 psp if not it could either of not worked or bricked. oh and robby316 im uploading the files from a 1.5 psp to megaupload now

@ hodgins:

You will know to reboot it when you see a screen come up that says something went wrong (don't worry) and it will be in a bunch of diff languages. Russian, Chinese, etc... At that point, it just says to press O to restored default settings. Do that and the PSP will reset ITSELF and then you will have to redo your setting (nick, date, etc.) I know this b/c I did it from 2.00->1.50 NUMEROUS times and then I watched a video on a 2.60->1.50 downgrade to see if it was any different. It was the EXACT same! It's easy and you'll know EXACTLY what to do, hodgins. Nothing will go wrong. The ONLY way you can brick your PSP is if you don't know what you're doing... That's the only reason they give the warning about bricking. B/c if my mum picked up my PSP and tried to downgrade it, she might brick, but if you know ANYTHING about the PSP, you WILL NOT brick it.

Good luck!

@ gtaUK: I wasn't gonna take all this time just to delete my post. After I saw you posted. :?
