Hey, I'm rather new to all the homebrew stuff. I downloaded a couple homerew games and emus for my psp. None of them worked, and I later found out that its all in the firmware. I attempted to do the GTA trick but I didn't realize that it only works with 2.00-2.60. I have 2.80, is there any way I can get any homebrew stuff to work? I read about downgraders, but I have no idea how they work...

If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

- Evan

With 2.80 you can not play any homebrew sorry. your only options are wait for a downgrader or buy the modchip.

Wait a second... did you update, or did your PSP come with preloaded 2.80, cause if it did, Sony's faster than I thought.

Nah, I bought mine used. Cause i'm cheap like that haha. Yeah, I updated it today actually, not knowing that firmware was a big bitch concerning homebrew....call me stupid but I thought the whole point of having games on the memory stick was so that people would make homebrew stuff and srota keep the psp 'alive'.

as what i always say to all
sell your psp (even with slighlty lower price)
hunt for psp with firmware 2.0 (then downgrade) or below (box with F or below)
1.5 is the FW to be at!
Homebrew - you'll never know what you're missing until you experienced it!
----------------------
EDIT
and remember NEVER upgrade! dev hook will give the latest for you!

Thanks for all the advice. Maybe I'll just buy a separate psp for homebrew stuff since I can't stand not blowing off my money on cool things.

hmmn i wonder why WinRAR doesnt expires?
but it does bug you to register or sumptin. (not me)
agreeing to their opinion solidifies it, yes no downgrading no brick = another sony bound psp gamer at the moment *_*.
psp 1.5 + dev-hook .XX + i.s.o./cso + big MS/HD <<< yummy things.
