hey i am very new to all this psp tekky stuff

I just pop a UMD in a play :)

But why would you want to downgrade your firmware?

i think i know is it because if the games like quake for psp only work on 1.5 or somthing ?

if so why carnt the poeple who made the game make it playable on updats over this ?

sorry i may be talking a load of rubish but could you help by awsering this ? :)

many thanks!

people want to downgrade because with version 1.5 u can play ISO's or backup versions of the games through your memory stick, also you can emulate later firmwares using devhook. firmwares higher than 1.5 have been patched so that hombrew wont work. Unless u have versio 2.0>2.6 u can run eloader with gta lcs which can run some homebrew.

Your solutions are:

-Buy a modchip.

-Trade your PSP with a noob friend like you were.

-Sell it and buy a new one.

Just don't get anything above 2.6. If its 2.6 or anything below it you can downgrade to 1.5. And make sure it doesn't have a ta-082 motherboard because those can't be downgraded.

I believe that's flaming and also uncalled for. God, just because he updated doesn't mean he's a "noob".
