There is nothing you can do to either downgrade or play homebrew on your 2.71. See if you can trade it for a 2.60 or lower.

1. Return it for a 2.6 then downgrade
2. Or Buy the modchip, install it and the custom firmware then have fun like us.
Modchip can be bought here, or many other sites via Google

Epsilon BIOS v1.0 Released!
Posted by greg

Exciting news for U.P. modchip owners! The long awaited Epsilon BIOS for the Undiluted Platinum (U.P.) PSP Modchip has been released today. The user guide describes it best:

Epsilon BIOS is a custom flash ?replacement? for the Sony PSP which unleashes the full potential of your handheld, allowing you to both use homebrew software and run UMD ISO games from your memory stick on the latest firmware releases while also enjoying the impressive features built into the operating system such as RSS feeds, WMA support etc. Currently the 2.71 firmware release is supported.

It is important to note that Epsilon BIOS is not standalone firmware replacement but more like a bootloader. It works using the dual-firmware system provided by the Undiluted Platinum hardware modification by loading when the PSP is initially powered on, then once running executes and ?piggybacks? the real firmware stored in your PSP flash memory. Due to the way this works it is NOT possible to use Epsilon BIOS unless your PSP has an U.P. hardware modification installed.

Epsilon BIOS v1.0 features:

* Runs alongside 2.71 firmware, so you get all the features of 2.71 such as RSS feeds, web browser etc combined with the advantages of homebrew software and ISO loading.
* Allows execution of homebrew software in kernel mode, removing all limits previously in place while running homebrew on firmware versions above 1.50.
* Ultra reliable, near transparent UMD emulation allowing users to run their games from a memory stick with ease, including games which require 2.0+ firmware without rebuilding the ISO or relying on nasty hacks.
* Support for compressed ISO files for UMD emulation, allowing you to fit more games onto your memory stick at one time.
* Built-in recovery menu which can be used to to update your Epsilon BIOS installation or restore your PSP flash contents if it becomes ?bricked?.

Check out the included user guide for more information.

Download: Epsilon BIOS v1.0 - includes user guide and the ZIP tool for compressing PSP ISO images in a custom Epsilon-compressed format.

A downgrader will eventually come out, but who knows how long that will take. The modchip also needs to be expertly installed as its over 20 1mm wires that need to be soldered.

Sony's not dumb and they got too much riding on this firmware update. They won't screw up too easily. It'll be a while before anyoneeven touches that firmware.
