If you do not have the un patched GTA or if you do not WANT to go to the trouble of finding a patched GTA, then upgrade to 2.71, but before you do that, make sure your PSP isn't one of those TA-082 motherboards or you will NOT be able to downgrade with any downgrader. Go through these answers:
I don't want to bother finding GTA unpatched, Tell me what to do:
If you can't be bothered, then acquire the 2.71 (Must be 2.71, not 2.70 or 2.8) Update file from PSP Hacks or PSP Updates, and put it into your (H:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE\) Update folder which you should make inside your game folder. Then update your psp to 2.71.
Once that is finish, you can go on to the next step, Download the PSP 2.71 Downgrader here:
http://dl.qj.net/Bug-Fix-for-2.71-Downda.../9759/catid/114
If the link doesn't work, I'm sure you can search in google and it will come up. Then open the the package with WinRAR. It should show a folder called 1.5 HELPER or something like that. This is needed for you to downgrade. But you must have a friend who HAS a PSP 1.5 and he has to follow the steps here (Thanks to PSP Updates):
Copy the folders downhelper and downhelper% from the folder 1.50 HELPER folder to /PSP/GAME/ in your memstick. (The DownHelper can be downloaded below)
Quote:
1. Copy the folders downhelper and downhelper% from the folder 1.50 HELPER folder to /PSP/GAME/ in your memstick. (The DownHelper can be downloaded below)
2. Obtain the 1.50 update EBOOT and put it in /PSP/GAME/UPDATE in your memstick.
3. Initilize the downhelper program.
4. It will dump your flash and some files from the updater eboot to the memstick. (These files are illegal under US copyright laws, so please do not distribute them in the comments or on our forums)
5. After that, the program will exit. You can now delete the updater from /PSP/GAME/UPDATE
6. You'll notice that you have a new folder in the root of your memstick called "DOWNDATER". (See diagram on right for arrangement - click to enlarge)
7. That's the folder you'll have to send to a 2.71 owner to let him downgrade.
There are other various ways of getting that DOWNDATER folder like P2P but it isn't recommended as they can be harmful to your psp unless it has been proven by other people and is said to be a clean dump of someones 1.5 FLASH.
Now once you obtain the downdater folder with all the files, if you can, format your old 32mb Sony memory stick and set a usb connection up with your PSP and your computer, Now put the DOWNDATER folder in the root of your memory stick, Not in the PSP Folder. Then you need to open the Downgrader files which I metioned a link to again;
http://dl.qj.net/Bug-Fix-for-2.71-Downda.../9759/catid/114
After the ZIP/RAR file is opened, open the folder MS_Root and extract all the files there into your psp root (Overwriting the PSP folder or Click YES to overwrite All).
Here's the part you've been waiting for, Make sure AC adapter is on and it is charged enough for the downgrade to finish (Around 50%). Go to the PSP's Photo Section and press X to open the photo's and it will do 2 things;
Quote:
You'll see a full red screen. This indicates that the downdater is doing its job. Wait for it to finish. When it finishes it will crash on purpose. Restart your PSP manually and you'll probably have a 1.50 if nothing went wrong.
You don't see the red screen. This indicates that the downdater code has not started to execute. (even if the memstick blinks (or not), It doesn't matter! If the screen is not red, you can safely restart the PSP at this point and try again).
This happens because of instability in the tiff. Don't worry, just restart the PSP and keep trying until you reach the red screen of the downdater. The downdater code is NEVER executed partially. It's either executed totally or nothing. It depends on "luck" but usually the downdater will start to execute in a average of 1/10 times. Things that may increase the probabilities:
Hopefully you will have a 1.5 PSP now, I downgraded my friends PSP so it does work.
I'll rather find a unpatched GTA, tell me how to do the 2.6 Downgrade:
Well check this thread which has a very good guide made by ravenlife:

Thank you for that elaborate help 3dluis.. My PSP is not TA-082..but my problem still persist ... not of GTA but the folder i need from a 1.5 chap... As i donno neone else who has a 1.5.. Also I got this another downgrader from 2.71 which says it needs no such file(ie it is an executable and it does all by itself)...
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/755
Is this the same ?? Can I downgrade with this or else can u tell me an alternative to get the 1.5 folder??
