Possible 1.5x Downgrade Coming Soon?
greg | August 28, 2005
Earlier a few related PSP sites have posted information regarding a possible downgrade to be released on September 1st. This downgrade is pure speculation at the moment; however, it’s supposed to downgrade 1.51 and/or 1.52 to 1.50. Yoshihiro is responsible for this downgrade but has yet to release it due to bugs and other issues – i.e.) the risk of bricking your PSP. No less, stay tuned for Sept. 1st to see what comes of this potential downgrade!
Thanks to TALL_GUY and Anthony for bringing this to my attention.

Hmm. My comment got screwed.. Anyways. Arnt you the annoying guy on the forums that keeps posting that shit?
good work something positive is always welcome!
Well, good thing but, I would prefer a universal launcher, i’ve been waiting several months for v3.0
to number 3, no he is not that guy, the guy you are thinking of is Hello_There. Yoshihro is a well know hacker not some stupid newb like Hello_there
CALM DOWN nothing is out yet and like the post upstair it may break your psp ,more some bug happen so we have to wait to see what the final result !
…v3.0 will be an iso loader!
¬_¬
Hmm i see only a bullshit here what happen with my nick name remove the first comment if you whant talk about anything you can comme here #wab on blackcats-games.com the official Channel :D this bastard of the first comment it’s not me so ……
http://nova.powix.org/~pez/ –prerelease
ITS REAL! need 1.52 didnt test 2.0
you know what i hate beaners
dang this always happens when i updated to 1.51 a week later 1.50 homebrew hack game out now i updated to 2.0 and they have a downgrader for 1.52 God im like cursed.
I know, it’s the same for me…
Damn! Knew i should have left my other PSP @ firmware 1.51. Instead of upgrading it 2 firmware 2.00. Well @ least my first PSP is still @ firmware 1.50.:)
T_T it is the same for me as well!
Ahaha! I doubt hacker will work on firmware 2. Anyway they shouldnt. Cuz now sony security updates will not be a problem anymore and with this homebrew that tricks the firmware all our problems will be gone.
This is comfirmed by yoshihiro. It is legit and 2.0 users are screwed. Europe will be getting 1.52, not 2.0 so they will be able to downgrade. So, until they start shipping 2.0 units, don’t expect a hack. LMAO @ everyone who updated a 1.51/2. I’ve been saying to wait.
why dont everyone shut it.. everybody needs to delete the news about this.. EVERYTHING must be be forgotten..
if sony sees this they will hold everything to stop this from going on..
SHHHHhhh keep it on the down low :)
lol revenge at last
sony fear the hackers and know that nothing is unbreakable .i am
waiting for this
I FUCKING HATE U “psp shadow” #10 hope ur whole family dies ill put a cures on u read this 123134312414
123412341234
213421342134
213421342134
242341234234
234234323424
wow!! thats great news
i hope they can do that too with 2.00….
please stop saying WAB downgrader will be release at Sept 1st, nor WAB or Yoshihiro has given any release date at the moment, (at least no precise one) and even yoshihiro has no way to know if his tool will be ready for release on sept the 1st as in it’s current state the tool might brick some noobs psps.
you people should be thanking me and tall_guy for sending this to the admins.
oh i found a way to hack 2.00 but i’m not sending it to anyone intill europes 2.00 come out!!!!!!!!!!
europe psp will come with version 2.00 firmware grrrrrrrrrr
i hate sony for making life difficult to have a respected psp
At post #23
No, the Europe PSPs are coming out with 1.52..
To #4. Some noob posted before me with the name of Yoshiro (problably a fake) saying that he hacked it and he will only release it to 150 people.. he’s been posting that in each topic in the forums..
Figures, I upgrade to 2.0 after thinking I was boned over my 1.51 and here we have some downgrading news. When will I learn?!!!!
Look up for the prerelase… someone test that on 2.0!
Unless your a mason, don’t try it with 2.0
any one who had 1.51 or 1.52 and upgraded to 2.00 is an extream retard dont u know eventually us hackers would be able to down grade its proboly gona take a couple of months for hackers to downgrade from 2.00 by that time u noobs will have 2.1!! sony increases the security with every update
First off, that “pre-release” above is fake. It’s the version changer that tricks your 1.5 into being a different version so you can play UMDs that require a higher version. That’s all.
Second: 2.00 hasn’t been hacked yet. Anyone who says they have, but isn’t releasing it for whatever reasons is either lying, or an asshole. Not that it matters to me, cause I was didn’t update from 1.51 to 2.00.
Third: That person that was only going to email it to 150 people was that “Hello_There” person, the idiot who was probably sending out viruses. Ignore him, and everything he posts regarding that.
Oh, and fourth: My 1.51 anxiously awaits a downgrade. Hopefully it’ll be finished soon, so that I can finally play that nice Rockman Dash ISO that’ll be finished downloading in about 10 minutes.
Like said: Europe will be 1.52,
on the Demo Disc will be the firmware upgrade to 2.00 but only stupid people will use that :p
i hope there is a downgrade that doesnt fuck up ur psp cause i ubdated to 2.0 and i really want the super nintendo emulator back or does that screw up ur psp
i got the invite to beta test socom:bravo teamfire or something like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you only get it sent if you are a member with the comeplet form filled out and you regestered your psp!! oh you also have to have the v2.00 and the internet browser!!!
Europe has 2.0, nothing else.
I have them @ the shop already,
but Sony forbids me to sell them
until the 1st. You won’t find any
1.52 sold at the shops in Europe!
So..
Can someone really give an answer to tmy following question?
I don’t want anyone to reply that, because I just need ONE person who REALLY KNOWS about that to answer it.
Here’s the Question:
Will I be able to SNES with my PSP, which is on version 1.51 now?
Or is all that just fake?
I really want to play SNES in school, you know? ^^
yea after u downgrade to 1.50, u’ll play SNES :P
Thank god I never updated my psp. I wonder how many ppl still have the 1.50, or the 1.0 firmware out there? Ahh well, mines still 1.50. HAHAHAHA :p
Well, fuckheads, I guess no one will be getting a downgrader at all until you pay yoshiro money to get him a 1.52 Euro PSP on September the 1st. go to http://www.pspupdates.com find the news and the link to give yoshiro more than 10 cents. Otherwise no one is downgrading shit. This will also help him to crack the Euro PSPs and move on to V2.0 with all the real nice features that it contains. Hurry Up!.
That’s full of shit. I am not going to give some dead-beat hacker money so he can “alledgedly buy PSPs to ‘test’”. No one pay this so-called hacker, we don’t even know if this is even a hoax or if it doesn’t work. From the look on his website, he’s a fucking adult with a job, I’m sure getting a PSP won’t be much of a problem for him. What’s to stop him from charging us for getting the software in the first place?
To all that claim to have Stuff they don’t (you know who you are): You’re all Retards!
To all that think Yoshihiro is Full of Shit: You’re all Retards!
To the Rest: If you think it doesn’t go as fast or something as you’d like, you’re a Retard, do it yourself then (oh, you can’t, because you’re too stupid and too average to be able to do anything interesting)!
So everyone please Shut the Fuck Up and give Yoshihiro like a few bucks or something, he works for YOU, give him the respect he deserves (ask him his personal PayPal Account on the WAB IRC-Channel, I don’t really trust pspupdates.com)…
Thanks in Advance, you will not regret it!!!
C’mon guys. I just want to read about the progress of this app, not a bunch of fanboys stroking their virtual chodes and insulting each other in minor ways. For the record, if you can hack this stuff, you’re a genius. If you think otherwise then go collect your McArthur award. But can we get back to the subject? I really wanna play the Euro release of TOCA2 and I have a 1.52 – any danger of that actually coming out tomorrow?
do anyone know what site the download link is going to be on?
you guys are nerds
For 2.0 Users!!!!!!!! Well i guess it kind of sucks for us, or for those who are really into homebrew games that have 2.0. But maybe I can get your hopes up. MAYBE on the next sony upgrade, they will have a new feature that will allow you, somehow, put homebrew games on your psp. I thought of that, because right now Sony is trying to lead you off into buying their products, and then when you get enough of there products, there you have the new update. So like i said, do not take this advice to the full 100%. If you have any questions or concerns, my e-mail is ajbasketballplyr@yahoo.com
#46 —
Are you on fucking crack? If you aren’t, then you better tell your mom to stop doing it, since its seeping its way into her breast milk as she tit feeds you.
Obviously you’re a blithering idiot. Sony would never do that. Not at least for another 2 years would they even THINK about it.
Stop being a stupid troll, trying to get everyone riled up over patently, obvious bullshit.
To clear up some misconceptions:
1)There aint no downgrader coming from 1.52 – 1.51 to 1.50. Hmm, that would require the PSP to be HOMEBREW ABLE, now wouldn’t it?
2)Euros ARE, and I repeat, ARE getting the 2.0 firmware on their PSPs. Anyone saying other wise had too much Bullshit Crunch for breakfast.
Stop wasting your time and by a 1.50 PSP while there are still some left. And for the Euros out there, sorry, but you are SOL (Shit Out of Luck).
Euro PSPs (first batch at least) is confirmed 1.52…
The Sony BeNeLux Boss told me himself… :D
I’ve just buy a PSP today, and it comes with the 1.52 firmware. I’m living in France.
There is a Sony warning that say to upgrade from the umd demo disc to get 2.0.
Hi,
I just bought a new psp 1st september from Germany. It has 1.52 firmware. There was a warning to upgrade it, but I didn’t :D I’ll wait for all the games that will come for 1.52 :D.
Well I also bought my PSP today and it did indeed have 1.52 firmware installed and the demo disk contains the 2.0 upgrade.
So will this downgrade be getting released?
I keep on checking like the rest of 1.52 europe, still nothing. The hope is still there.
Just got a UK 1.52 ill bet the next batch will be 2.0, oh and no messed pixels
So how many still think this downgrader is real? It is September 1st and still no downgrader…
I can see the hope of many dwindling over false news.
Seems like Yoshihiro never said anything about a date, only that he’s working on downgrading and that a second PSP is needed…
Well I think that he is working with it. But hope that he finishes it soon ;).
Good luck and enjoy guys until downgrade.
Well I do hope it does come out soon, not like im gonna upgrade the thing anyway.
At least I can enjoy it without the nag of it needing version 2.0.
Is their a web browser for the psp that is not in 2.0?(with the exception of the wipeout pure hack)
If anyone bothered to read the news post we are commenting on you’d see the date of September 1st as the release date.
I think its a load of shit anyway. There is no possible way that he could write a custom firmware legitimately. And you can bet your ass that anyone downloading his downgrade if it was written with a stolen Sony devkit or with the leaked SDK that Sony will come after all parties involved…
TO #46!!!!!!!!!!!Hey how ya doin’? Sit back and relax. Don’t get all hiped up man. your just mad that your 40yrs. old and you live in your parents garage, trying to download shit. I also got e-mailed from another guy that said you “toss salad”. Well if you have free time go kill someone and your in jail. Before you go to jail, make sure you bring syrup or jelly, whichever you like asshole with. Your buddy, ajbasketballplyr@yahoo.com
e-mail me there if you want some crack ;)
P.S. TO #46….IT WAS A FUCKING THOUGHT ASSMUNCHER
Your pretty funny making assumptions about me… First off, I am 21 years old, a physics major AND I live on my own. So why not get your facts straight fucktard before you go throwing insults about.
And I would suggest trying to get your thoughts into 1 post, but I guess your brain just isn’t big enough to formulate 2 ideas at once, as well as multitask.
And like thought, this downgrade is bogus bullshit, thanks Yoshihiro for another hoax on the PSP community. *chalks another up to the PSP-hoax board*
PSP was launched yesterday in Australia. I think it came out like the euro version. not sure whether it is 1.51 or 1.52 but it does come with the 2.0 update umd.
I called playstation technical center before i made this order to check what firmware it will come with.
They told me that it was going to be v1.0 and will come with 2.0 update umd
I was tricked…
this sucks i checked wab constantly for 24 hrs and NOTHING
I still have some hope (sitting here with my freshly bought 1.52 european psp in my hands, not knowing what to put on my 1 gb memorycard)
Yoshihiro, show the world u the man!
Otherwise i have to take a job and actually pay for games. Can you imagine??
things like this happen all the time to me. trust me, if their is a downgrade for psp, then it is released already. but just because this is the released date, is stall going to take with in 2-3 week to put this on the internet. Not saying that this is going to happen. I don’t know if this is a hoax or not.
siete un pugno di teste di minchia! coglioni ciarlatani
Will you all shut the fuck up before i slap ya’ll. Just chill and do the maths! everything always gets hacked one way or another. PSP firmware 1.52, 2.00 or whatever else sony brings out will get hacked as long as people like Yoshihiro are out there.
Now Bitches keep off his nuts and let the man do his thing in his own time. In the meanwhile get a job, get money and buy games like most people ya 50p tarts!
I have my doubts if a firmware downgrade will be available,unless they were pre installed With V1.5 and upgraded to v1.5x before leaving the factory.
But that said and done, i will with hold judgement until team WAB releases a statement…..Lets hope they prove me and everybody else wrong
i want it
TO NUMBER 61!!!!!!!!!hey how ya doin? Before you say anything about me making assumptions….o too late. Jackass your the one that made an assumption on me first. Second of all, y get mad over something stupid. You say your 21 but you act like your 12. Your getting mad at the fact that you can’t downgrade, and another thing about you, y upgrade if you wanna downgrade. I’m just going to start calling you BIll o’ Riely! Your buddy, Ajbasketballplyr@yahoo.com
#70
I got a 1.50 PSP. But I am tired of brain dead hackers like Yoshihiro making the PSP Developer scene look like a bunch retards because he wants to steal some glory by hoaxing the whole community, rather than doing some actual work.
Anyone who has worked with PSP development knows that a legitimate downgrade is impossible, since we cannot acquire the AES keys and Signatures to produce software that the PSP can run.
And if they are produced illegitimately and released, then you can expect to be visiting Yoshihiro in jail, since Sony won’t let that shit fly. And trust me, there is no way to maintain legitamacy and downgrade the firmware. Not to mention, if the file is a legitimate attempt to downgrade, ie homebrew-made downgrader, well guess what, that one work since 1.52 and 1.51 doesn’t allow non-encrypted, non-signed ELFs to run…
So rather than defending this person who is just trying to get the community stirred up over nothing, why not actually get your fucking facts straight rather than buy into everything you read.
The Guy above me is a FuckTard…
TO #71!!!!!!!!!!!!!First of all, I was just puttting a thought into something, and you get all pissed off, for some reason only god knows what, and second of all if you don’t care about downgrading, then stop writing you jackass, + i wasn’t stating any facts!
Your Buddy, Ajbasktballplyr@yahoo.com
haha you people make me laugh…
im losing my patience with this psp downgrade grrrrr.. if it dont come soon my dog will have die….
if you want my dog to live you better give me the downgrade now
i know you’re an animal lover.. i saw the video
Are you sure this fucking downgrade arrive?I’ve lost my
patience
I want this downgrade.WE WANT THIS FUCKING DOWNGRADE!!!!!!
I live in northern Europe and bought a PSP at the release, 2005-09-01 (sept 1st). It’s 1.52. I haven’t looked at the demo disc though, so I can’t tell if the 2.0 update is there or not. (Been busy playing wipeout.) I’m waiting until the downgrade is said (by Yoshihiro-kun) to be relativly safe. GO YOSHI!!! :D
When arrive the DOWNGRADE? SOmeone can tell me????
Stay CALM!!!!On Wab.com Alonetrio says that yoshihiro is working on the downgrade and he hasn’t quit the wab team.The message risale al 3 September 2005.Stay calm the downgrade is arriving.And Finally we can play Homebrew on PSP 1.50x
When arrive DOWNGRADER??????????????????????
When the Downgrader will be in my hands???Porca troia ho bisogno di sto cazzo subito!!!!!!
DOWNGRADE DOWNGRADE DOWNGRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here it is… congratz to all the eruo people on your new PSP’s an such, sry for all who have V2.0 such as myself, congratz to those who have V1.50 or V1. Im not that good at hacking an doing all that kind of stuff, but the one of the few things i know, is that no matter what you are doign it takes time, and time we have… the plain an simple truth is that no good PSP games are comeing out before the month of October an even still i beleive there not comeing untill the later part of the month… This being true all the hackers of the world, includeing Yoshihiro, have atleast another month of searching and hacking before Sony has another chance to put out another security wall in a new version… Patience is a vertue and I am going to have patience and wait for them to release the downgrader, so they can do it the best they can the first time an not completely nuke a PSP or two because someone told them to put it out as fast as they could… Good things come to those who wait for them… The downgrader is comeing, you just need to have patience, i have said my peace, good luck to all who are trying to break the code
the wab site hasnt been working for 2 days :(
i fear the wab site has been closed down by sony :((
WHY IS SONY SO EVIL!!!
Hi there guys, does anyone know maybe when downgrade 1.5 will be available?? It’s already the 16th and no signs…. = :0 ( I cant wait to play Killer Instinct on my PSP help? help? help??? lol
Thanks guys!
psp-dev(the guys working with wab) said that they quit working on it. “it was only a project and could quit whenever they wanted to”. have fun waiting for someone else to do it now.
wtf, is another bullshit, wab team is a team of mtfk!!!!!
Guys, it’s a bit weird that they stopped work so suddenly – it might be that Sony’s legal team put pressure on them to quit or get canned so don’t be too hard on them. Without WAB you wouldn’t have the Home-Brew for 1.5 and there would be NO emulation for ANYONE, so show some respect for some people who risked their shit for us?
Lonetrio better watch his back…
im going to hunt the poof down and shove the psp where the sun aint shine. he lives in a suburb north of paris.
Mabey they will work on the downgrade for 1.5x because we the psp users still belive and they won’t let us down. cuz we were he ones who made there goals and they achived them but now we’re stuck and waiting for them we trust to let us sleep in peace. i still hope and still belive so someone help and read
its october 28th!!! c’mon, anyone found a way to downgrade?
can some one please tell me how to downgrade from version 2.1 to 2.0 or 1.5 please !!!!!!
