Beta Downgrader

Alias420 | September 19, 2005

We have been receiving many e-mails from people about the beta downgrader that is floating around on the net. We have tested this software for quite a while this weekend. The beta pretty much did nothing as far as we can tell. It did not downgrade and it did not brick the PSP. Thank you to all those that e-mail us stories and hacks but this one does not work so there is no sense in worrying about it. When a working downgrader is released you will see it here on our front page.

heres a better translation

And yes, as you know it, after all the trouble around this downgrader,
the TEAM wab and Yoshihiro decided to publish the unfinished
downgrader. They distribute it so that other developers continue on
their impetus and that one can hope to see one day leaving a
functional downgrader… Here instructions written by Yoshihiro in
person:

CAUTION! THE DOWNGRADER DOES NOT GO!

It will not break your psp, but it does not go, therefore these files
are thus reserved for those which wish to continue the work of
Yoshihiro.

Stage 1: You will need 2 memory stick. Copy the files present in the
repertory “Memory Stick 1″ from your first Memory Stick and the files
of the repertory “Memory Stick 2″ from your second memory stick.

Stage 2: Launch the downgrader starting from first Memory Stick, a
white screen will appear. As soon as this one leaves place with a
black screen, press 3 times the switch of your PSP to put your PSP in
hibernation mode. To leave the first memory stick and to replace it by
the second. Relight your PSP, and you will have to see a message
indicating that all occurs correctly and that it is the update towards
the firmware 1.50 which is in hand. Here the last stage to which
Yoshihiro remains blocked.

Let us hope that developers will succeed in circumventing this
problem.

“When a working downgrader is released you will see it here on our front page.”

That is rather funny… Considering this, ‘Beta Downgrader’ being on the front page(and that it isn’t even real) and the WAB downgrader, being on the front page and that is also a hoax…

How about PSP-Hacks just gives up on reporting things that wont ever happen…

“CAUTION! THE DOWNGRADER DOES NOT GO!” does that mean if i try this it will screw up my firmware

We can all only hope that 2.0 will eventually be cracked because otherwise the PSP won’t be around for long… PS2 and XBox were successful because they could be hacked! So, it would be in the best interest of Sony not to make things too tough or they should be ready to say “Adios” to their PSP product.

Well, to all the l33t elite, and bigmouth fanboys on various forums who talk their l33t sh1t about anyone saying this was all a fake….

Who was right and who was wrong?

This aint coming, and WAB basically perpetrated the biggest scam on the net since the African Prince’s money being held in a US Account.

It was written all over their site what with fake delays and bogus arrests… and then the work was unfinished? I thought they said it was done. The video was the dumbest clue of them all. Professional logos and music but it goes blank for 2 minutes where all the magic happens. It was about as convincing as an Oxi Clean commercial where they do that screen wipe to show the before and after effects.

Even though WAB did not finish the downgrader, their release of the beta could show downgrading as a possibility very soon. I’ve been so disappointed with my PSP being 1.51, but I’ve learned to not be angry that there isn’t a downgrader yet. If you’re so impatient, create your own downgrader instead of wasting your time bitching out WAB. Otherwise, wait and see what other PSP developers are able to do.

Hi guys I find it something.1.52 DOWNGRADE….??!!
My english is NOT good!!Sorry
But I to try write down this method.

-Buy the Midnight club 3 ORIGINAL UMD Disc!
-take it the ORIGINAL DEMO UMD Disc in your psp
-launch the update 2.0 when appear this screen “connect the adapter”
take out the original UMD!BUT so that/how ALWAYS pull/hold the umd opening button!
/Don’t leave the opening button!/
-meanwhile change the demo UMD to Midnight club3
-then close the umd disc tray/slot
-leave/left the umd opening button
-connect the adapter
-and install the disc
-when over the installation you will to see that your PSP is 1.50!

Because reputely the Midnight club3 use 1.50 firmware.
And the Psp believe it that you install 2.00

Sorry my translation but my english is not good
I read it on a forum…..

If to somebody this method will KILL your own PSP this is not my RESPONSIBILITY!!!
I wriggle out of all responsibility….
Try it your own responsibility!!!
Somebody test it and if it works or not please give a signal in this forum.

Yo Downgrade works. This is how you do it.

Go to Ebay. Sell your PSP 2.0

Buy a PSP 1.5

You now successfully have a PSP 1.5

Enjoy

I have no real idea what I am talking about, but I loaded the gameboot into a HEX editor and repleaced all the boot record from 1.52 upgrade to 2.52. I really dont understand why it says it is a 1.52 upgrade but thats what it says in 5 deiff langauges. Anyway ran the modded gameboot from the card and i went white then black then came up with an agreement asking if I want to upgrade to 2.52. Because I am a coward and dont want to brick my psp I said no, but how come it did this (also you have to have the AC adapter in).

Wab has made a version changer, with the version changer your 1.50 psp thinks you have a 2.00 psp.

The program that is second on the list at that strange site is not for downgrading. The translation of the in program text is:

“with this program you can turn any file PBP so that it works with the
PSP with firmware 1,5 thanks to the “Exploit” of KiLLeR-X, it selects to the PBP and the unit of the PSP where they stored the
PBP’s.”

2005-09-23 03:12:25

so i take it i screwed myself over by upgrading my firmware from a 1.5 to a 1.52 in order to play my burnout legends huh?
yet some kid on the net said he’s now found a way to get homebrew to work on 1.52 version. he’s got a video showing it, and he’s also talking sh*t about wab. i hope this kids for real.
