To downgrade do the following: (read entire post first! notes @ bottom) or go to http://blogger.sahaskatta.com/2005/09/downgrade-psp-v20-to-v15.html

Create the X://PSP/GAME/UPDATE directory if it doesn't exisit.
Copy EBOOT.PBP (v1.50) into X://PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.
Unzip the PSPdowngrade.zip package and open the folder.
Copy overflow.tif into X://PSP/PHOTO/ folder.
Then copy h.bin into the root folder. (X://h.bin)
Finally copy index.dat into root folder as well (X://index.dat)
Make sure your AC adaptor is connected.
In your PSP enter the Photos section, which will launch a little app.
You will need to wait ~30 seconds and then restart your PSP.

Then finally Game Menu and launch the v1.5 updater (downgrade).
Follow instructions and then at 99% an error should popup.

Thats normal so just restart the PSP and it should show an error.
Now restart the unit one more time and the PSP should be ready.

tried downloading the recommended files and unzipping them - however when I try and copy overflow.tif to the folder on my PSP I get a Symantec virus error (Trojan.PSPBrick)and an error copying file or folder notification advising that the system cannot find the specified file! Any help much appreciated

That doesn't mean you've bricked your psp at all!

That file is meant to look like a virus and you need to TURN OFF your antivirus before you download it.

Celtic...i'm glad you don't support rangers but come on...SHUT UP!

You should look up on things before you say things! Just because you say the words "psp" and "brick" you immediately thought he had broken it. :<(

I'm deeply sorry, i didn't mean to tell you to shut up...i forgot how agressive celtic fans are, if i knew you were gonna whip out the BOLDNESS on me then i would have kept quiet...

Take no notice, it's just a bit of banter :)

I just think it's more than a BAD post...think how you would feel if you were told your psp was broken when it wasn't. But i accept that we all make mistakes :)

Let's wait and see what happens...

It is very rare for some1 to brick there psp, heck i bet no1 here knows some1 who has.
to me any1 who bricks their psp shouldnt have 1 in the first place, its just to hard to brick, i couldnt do it if i tried.
LOL
Celtic and Rangers = legends, even though they are a big rivalry :)

I think i'll downgrade mine tomorrow

Does it matter if i use a 1.5 JAP update instead of a UK one?

Thanks Gents - seems to have done the trick - had one scary moment when it wouldn't run the updates because it said the PSP wasn't sufficiently charged even though it was plugged into the mains! Left it an hour and hey presto!

Problem now posted on a seperate thread is that I can't get any of the games running now!! Get to the UMD Emulator screen with the game and press X - PSP freezes and I have to reboot - frustrated................
