hehe someone try this before i do
YEAHHHHHHHH (First mesage)
MPH Downgrader worked a treat.
EU 2.0 psp downgraded to 1.5 :-)
i will
lol. This is the exact method i posted to do. Create built off the Wab version Changer. set to 1.0 firmware then run the update to 1.5. so it tricks the psp to thinking its upgrading.
I will try it, but the link to the MPH downgrader doesn’t work :(
hey i just tried it and it works whoo hooo
i cant make it downgrade…
I am now an owner of a 1.5 PSP. WHAT SHOULD I PUT ON FIRST?!?!
Anyone could tell me how does it work exactly??
thanks
So does it work!!?
could somebody explain me how to downgrade with this program thanks a lot bye
IT WORKS!!!
Yes.
It works.
I miss 2.0, though. :(
Hope they can find the encryption-code, so we can start using HomeBrew on it.
don’t mock me.. heh – I’ve got a white PSP (and held-out months for this baby) – I’m guessing this little hack won’t differentiate. It works on 2.0 (Japanese White PSP) as it’d work on a Black one? Should be fine?
And 6: you’ve got to click “Save Target As” it may download as text… just rename it.
IT DOES WORK I SWEAR maybe some risk BUT IT WORKS. you do get an error at 99% but one you restart it twice it works PERFECTLY NICE work MPH
Read the bloody instructions! and why ask questions like “Does it Work?” did u read the post before u!… why dont u try it your self!
#10
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
Wab was release code for 1.5 and 1.0 to change your firmware to either 1.0, 1.5, 1.52 or 2.0
Since there is now a new exploit for the 2.0, someone had manage to put my thoery to the test. They recompiled the code to work for 2.0
Now when running the app it sets the firmware name to be 1.0, Now! when you run the 1.5 update, The psp thinks its a 1.0 so installs the 1.5 firmware over it.
How you sure it works realy?

Hi , i would like to know wat it actually do? cuz am i wanna buy a psp , but since most psp right now are 2.0 … i hope this will make it 1.5 … thanks
oMFG!! 2nd time tried .. WORKING! :)
WHAT DOES VSHELL PHOTO MENU MEAN WHERE DO I PUT IT???
WORKSSSSSSSSSSSS!
i got a 1.50 i want to upgrade to 2.0 and then downgrade again to 2.0 will it work?
WAT DO I DO WITH THE VSHELL PHOTO MENU THING
YES!!!!! i already have 1.5, put w/e. i just posted a huge topic on the forums at sony.com to get them pissed. 10 bucks tommorow has a new version for psps.
http://www.chez.com/mph/ dont work :-\
I PUT EVERYTHING IN LIKE THE H AND INDEX IN THE PSP ROOT AND THEN THE INSTRUCTIONS MENTIONS VSHELL PHOTO MENU WAT IS THAT CAN SOMEBODY PLZZZZ HELP?
Well stike 2 for sony LOL!!! I expect v 2.01 in the coming weeks. I bet GTA will have manditory 2.01. Well version changer…. AWSOME!!!! Now I can try out v 2.0 and then downgrade later. But I shall not upgrade just yet!!!
It works like a charm!!!! its good someone put the theory into actions!
MPH you are my new god!!!!! :D
Thanks.
yes it works sweet though mine stopped at 99% said contact sony i took the battery reset it boom 1.50 sweet now i have two
kinda late. the 2.0 has been hacked already. it is a matter of days before we get emulaters
ok what do i do about the vshell photo menu, and i guess vshell game menu is just the game folder????? any way could someone explain how to downgrade in easy steps that a nooby could understand
holy crap. it worked. I didn’t think it was doing anything, but then I checked the version and it says “1.00″ and I gasped loudly.
I entered the “VSHELL PHOTO” whatever command in the internet address bar. I’m assuming that’s where it was supposed to be done. If I’m right and not just an idiot, then THE URL IS WHERE YOU TYPE THE VSHELL COMMAND. I think. perhaps that’s where people are getting confused.
THANX ALOT G.WICKS
this totally rocks awesome
worked thank you
I have been lurking here since I got my PSP a few weeks back.
It was a v2.0 untill this..
Thanks a lot it Worked great
HOLY SHIT!!!!!! THANKS GUYS!!! JOW I AHVE 2 1.5s!!!!!!!! FUCK WAB!!!!
Thats pretty cool for the 2.0 users, but i already had 1.5. Anyway, Sony will soon release a newer firmware, a bunch of unsuspecting fools will download it then everyone will be pissed cuz they have a newer version and can’t use homebrew. The same thing is going to go on with the newer version that happened with 2.0. Until someone can crack the newer version. lol
It crashed my psp. this shit sucks. does anyone knows what to do if your psp crashes? it s=is unplayable.
NICE!GREAT work guys!! i already have a 1.5 though but GREAT WORK

My LORD! It works – confirmed. Try my mirror: http://www.alden0186.freeserve.co.uk/MPHDowngrader.zip
AND- I kept my 2.00 web browser. I don’t get it- but still… woopey!
Dudes who are having black screens:
HOLD THE POWER off for like 10 seconds. It’ll shut down. Do the same thing to start it up again.
I CAN’T GET THE EBOOT, ANYONE GOT OTHER LINKS TO IT??? OR RAPIDSHARE???
anyone know if u can play umd games and emulators on downgraded systems?
i just put the files where the read me said then i went then via the psp to the photo menu and selected the overflow pic then the screen went black with soom code on it i rebooted the i went to the game menu on the memorycard and ran the update waited a minute and the when it said failure i did a hard reset and schazaaam 1.50
Ummmmmmmmm downgraded to 1.00 heheh niw i need some help on how 2 load games and shit!
Ummmmmmmmm downgraded to 1.00 heheh niw i need some help on how 2 load games and shit!
IT UPDATES YOUR FIRMWARE TO VERSION 1.00… BUT YOU NEED THE 1.50 OS!!!!
I need that, someone post!
#65 go read a book and learn something
no, kj127 (#64), 62 is NOT a fucking liar. mine is the same way.
I couldn’t find info in the forums pertaining to the installation of emulators on a 1.00 firmware. all the utilities and things seem to be for 1.5, so… how do I do it? If someone could put up with my newbie antics and help me out, it’d be greatly appreciated.
AIM me at TOMGARRICKSON
wow it worked i got the same 99% n restarted it, said it was corrupt n starting craping my self jus press O n it reset it self checked it n BAM Ver 1.5 thanks you now all i need is a bigger memory stick
I find it odd that so far 2 people have claimed it bricked there psp and one claims they have 2.0 features after downgrading. Is there at least a working URL to the developers of this downgrader?
WTF there is no “vshell” in the download!!!!! and does it reqire internet to get it?
man wtf is so difficult??
-open ur psp.
-put the files ”n” and ”index” in it.
-open psp-//-photo and put overflow in it.
-turn on the psp and go on the immages, start it and w8 some seconds ”11 or 15” then turn off the psp and run the 1.5 version
Anyone know if you can Run emulators and Games With Downgraded PSP’s?!?
VSHELL = YOUR PSP INTERFACE
everyone saying it updates to 1.00 listen to me… YOU HAVE TO RUN THE 1.50 UPDATE!!! it is NOT 1.00. the PSP just THINKS its 1.00.
thats how it WORKS
Also, it says I now have 1.00 after using the downgrader, but I’ve noticed that I still have my web browser… what’s going on there?
this thing sort of leaved my PSP v 1.00 whith all the V 2.00 features, i am serious, the same thing as #62
#83. So now I should update to 1.50 and then it’ll work, eh?
Worked for me without the second expected error message.
good work MPH!
so is this a fake or does it really downgrade and allow u to run gaming and game dumps on the system?
can someone host the EBOOT.PBP (update 1.50) please
YAY it works
I see a few people here, who has broken their PSP because of this.. :( This scares me a little. I’d rather have a working 2.0 PSP than a brick.. Is this not a completely 100% safe method???
kja127 you suck! Don’t call people dicks just coz YOU screwed it up! It’s YOUR FAULT. Nobody can help you, you’re PSP is bricked. Buy another, and follow the instructions next time. And then you laugh at other people who have bricked theirs, what a cock sucker!
hmm 2 dead psp’s already im not trying this
It is really funny how some people dont understand this. Simply read the instructions given. They are perfect.
can anyone confirm if you can run emulators and games with downgraded psp’s? I’m scared to downgrade also…i can’t find a copy of the EBOOT.PBP (update 1.50)
lol Thanks #92 . And People READ THE INSTRUCTIONS it isn’t that hard.
Those of you who successfully downgraded to 1.50, did you use the link to the 1.50 firmware that came in the readme with the downgrader?
no #97
HAHAHA LMFAO
You guys are jokers. You 2.0 users go off saying 2.0 is better then 1.0 or 1.5. But as soon as a WORKING 2.0 to 1.5 Downgrader is available. people all jump to DOWNGRADE there psp to 1.5, Why is that?
vshell is nothing just put the one file in photos and the rest in the root the update in the game folder thats it go into photos some numbers come up reset psp then go into the game folder start the 1.50 upgrade thats it vshell who knows what it means just do what it says ignore the shell part
i got the 1.50 update its 13,5 mb
but i maffraid i might brick my psp and i dont have enough money to buy a new one if i do fuck up so ill wait
hey can u downgrade from 1.5 to 1.0??????????????
HELP….i follow the instructions but, when i enter in the photo menu i have a black screen with a code in the screen, a number code…why??
95 of course you can i have over 75 real psp games every game works on 1.50 with a loader
Some people are so damn stupid in thinking they now have 1.00! You didn’t run the 1.50 updater yet, so you still run 2.00, that says it is 1.00, but you can’t run any homebrew yet?!!!!!!!!! So, run the 1.50 updater!
for all of you who are asking for a 1.5 firmware update to update your 1.0’s, THERES A LINK IN THE README!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t see why some people don’t read these things. And people are wondering why they bricked their psp’s! y don’t you just read the instructions!!!
Anyone ese getting an error when trying to update? My PSP is telling me my battery is too low to Run the update to 1.5(I Have the AC plugged in.
vshell is just the interface guys
just ignore that word and itll all fall into place
i read the instructions and i understand them all
its normal wait 30s and after reboot!

question: downgrad to 1,5 ok and after this is possible ubgrade your psp to 2.0 or not
Wow, it works. This is really awesome.
I thought i fucked up. I got a warning :| but everything seems okay. :) I have 1.5 now :D
I’m gonna buy a biggermemstick tomorrow :D
YOU LAMERS!! YOU SAID 2.0 IS BETTER, NOW THAT YOU HAVE 1.5 YOU FINALLY SEE WHY 1.5 IS BETTER. 1.0 IS EVEN BETTER, AND NO YOU CAN NOT DOWNGRADE TO 1.0, BECAUSE YOU REQUIRE A PSP 1.0 UPGRADER. THAT CAN ONLY BE POSIBLE IF YOU HAVE FIRMWARE 0.00 AND AN OFFICIAL 1.0 INSTALLER. WHICH DOES NOT EXIST!!
HOW DO I UPGRADE FROM 1.00 to 1.50? Please somebody help. Thanks.
Oooh!…somehow i could restart mine after the black screen…i tried again and ..it really works…THANKS A LOT ..wooohooo!

#121
first go to photo menu and hold x to start the version changer.
After that go to the game menu and choose the 1.5 update
and voila it should work

#113 download the downgrader then create an folder in your game folder called UPDATE. download the 1.5 update at this wesite http://shockzone.free.fr/PSP/Tool/EBOOT_1.50.zip and save it in the game folder then put the overflow.tif that comes with the downgrader in your photo folder and put the h. bin and index. dat files that come with downgared in the memory stick root folder both files should be in the same place as your psp folder no turn on your psp psp and go to the photo menu go to the over flow and t5he psp should turn black and freeze turn off your psp turn it back on and go to the game menu and install 1.5
looking for US not JP
when i go to the photo menu i cant select the overflow and the screen goes black without any code. any input(positive only please) would be great
i dont care if my psp broke you cocks, I hope this bricks other psps
This works great indeed.
can someone post a video?
Well, don’t know how #62 said the baby still got V2.0 features. My case is. It worked!!! No V2.0 features anymore. But I got a lot of help from my friend who read the news outside.
OK. First, the instruction said copying two files in Root. At that time I thought if I needed to put them in MP_ROOT, well it’s not true. Just put the files in the place where you can still see ‘PSP’ folder, etc.
Second. VShell Photo Folder is JUST THE PHOTO folder we knew in the console. Once you copy all the files in the memory stick, well, yes, turn the console on, click ‘PHOTO’ and you saw a black screen with some codes there. Don’t be afraid. Wait for 15 – 30 sec. Then, UNPLUG THE AC Adaptor and the battery to ‘turn the console off.’ Later, I put the battery back in the position, AC adaptor standing by, turn on the console, and it looked like it’s still in V2.0. Don’t hestitate to go to GAME –> Memory Stick -> and Download the version changer. Well, follow the instructions and get them all through, you will see there’s a message ‘ffffffff,’ which requires you to talk to the Sony Technical Support. Well please don’t bother to call them otherwise they know what we are doing and later on, the V2.x might have more attractive features and it’s getting much harder to downgrade it back!!! At this point, again, UNPLUG the AC adaptor and the battery. Put them back to the console, and turn on, well, it’s all what you need –> Lifes of Homebrew
132…what the fuck is you mother fucking problem? You need to go fuck your fat ass mom up her fucking dick stained ass! You are such a bitch
Kja127 have you tried to hold the power for over 10 seconds?

132 YOU R A PICK
thank you 135!!!!!!!

Hey!!.. i hav a question.. after u downgrade to 1.5, do you still have the web browser??
Yes!!!! We need a video!
Please give me video in progress!

If I downgrade to 1.5, in the future will I be able to upgrade back to 2.0 without any problems?
HEY, the people who BRICKED it: Which version did you have? EU/JAP/US ??? Did you do all that was described in the instructions?
OMFG!!!! it works!!!!!!! thats so fuckin awsome you guys rock!!!!!!
man i whana know which is better: 1.0 or 1.5
How many of you Bricked it and with hwo many worked it. Just say YES (worked) or NO (bricked).
post 153 the answer is 1.5
Can someone who downgraded try upgrading back to 2.0? I want to know if it is possible to restore the newer firmware…To be specific, I don’t want to be stuck with a 1.5 permenantly just in case Sony releases something worth having.
great!!!!
alright I downloaded the correct 1.5 file from the site listed in the MPHupdate file directions… but when I checked my version, it says “1.00″. What gives?
is the link for the 1.50 firmware update in the readme file US or JAP?
Hey, nevermind. This noob (me) figured it out, thanks to a courteous fellow site goer. LESSON: Instead of insulting everyone, we should help each other out more. Everyone is a “n00b” at some point, right? AM I RIGHT?
Now I”m going to play earthbound.
Nice works. JUST CONVERTED TO 2.0 THEN BACK TO 1.5 Really Cool.
Nice works. JUST CONVERTED TO 2.0 THEN BACK TO 1.5 Really Cool. HAS NOT BRICKED PSP, TRIED THIS 10 TIMES ALREADY BACK AND FORTH

@168 Have you tried it with EU Version? What makes you so sure?
168
What???????
GREAT WORK HACKERS :)
tnx
Some say going back to 1.5, while some say going back to 1.0. Well, to help improve the quality of ‘downgrading’ firmwires, WHICH version you guys got when you guys bought the console at the first place? I bought the used one starting from 1.51(120V, B). Coz the instruction said this downgrader is made for the 1.5+ users, so I presume that some getting back to 1.0 MIGHT HAVE THE CONSOLE WITH OTHER VERSIONS LIKE (120V, A) or something else.
My case again,
YES, worked for MY US Version (120V, B)[I upgraded to V2.0 for a while and decide to downgraded it]
Works On PAL EU Version running 2.0, Downgraded to 1.50 fully successful…Bite the bullet! go on you Brevehearts!! :-)
i dont have a psp yet but guys please write in-
“it worked on my psp with:
eu/jap/eu psp”
and can someone give us a video?
thank you
Rite on #160
i’m gonna upgrade just so that i can downgrade…
Holy shit! Why the hack shouldn’t it work on EU Versions? Talk N^168
When i go into the photo menu it freezes, goes black without any of this code you speak of, then i have to restart, but nothing is different. does anyone no what is goin on?

HOW TO DOWNGRADE!?!?!?!
Step 1.
Upgrade to psp 2.0
Step 2.
Run the MPH program.
You will see a black screen with some fonts.
Step3.
Hold down the power button. until it turns off.
Step 4.
Now you will see the firmware is 1.0. THIS DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE FIRMWARE 1.0 STUPID NOOBS.
All This does is change the firmware name. So You can update it to 1.50
Step 5.
Run the psp 1.50 update install located in your games directory. If you have not placed it in already.
Run it. and install it.
You will notice an error at 99% it always has this error no matter what version your updating to. YOU PSP IS NOT BRICKED!!! It’s just frozen. so Hold the power button. wait for it to restart. it will boot up, and now you have a Psp 1.50.
Step 6.
Go download a psp 1.5 game, place it in your folder. under psp/games/name.
there should be 2 folders called
name, and name%, place both files in.
Step 7.
Run the Games
Step 8.
Enjoy =P
I have the same problem as 107…
Anyone here who bricked it? Please tell us about it!! Version etc
post #151 “HEY, the people who BRICKED it: Which version did you have? EU/JAP/US ??? Did you do all that was described in the instructions?”
US 1.51, I have upgraded it to 2.0 then followed the instructions in the text file word for word, except after the reboot, nothing displays… its just blank. nothing comes up at all. (the power light is on though).
woot! worked fine. I used the 1.50 link in the readme file too.
Worked like a charm. OUT FREAKING STANDING! Had to reboot like three times but it worked. Thanks MPH.
Thanks #185, you helped paraphase my solutions in your step 5. Well, you are right. :) Blessing.
#189 How long have you waited? Did you make a restart (hold power button up for at least 20 secs)??
When I attempt to update to 1.5, it claims i have too low a battery, even though the AC adapter is in and its charged.
Any help please?
ALL HAIL MPH!!!!! Give him a job sony with a 7 figure salary!

I just tried with taiwanese PSP loaded with 2.0 EU firmware. After the black screen with the funny characters I had to rmove battery, but it was impossible to load the 1.5 firmware as it says the file is corrupted, I have tried with different 1.5 firmware source with no luck ):
it relly works. th alot :-)first it go to vesion 1.0 and then you just update to 1.5
BATTERY LOW PROBLEM!!
———————-
JUST PLUG IN YOUR DAMN ADAPTER YOU F****************** NOOB.
HOW TO DOWNGRADE!?!?!?!
Step 1.
Upgrade to psp 2.0
Step 2.
Run the MPH program.
You will see a black screen with some fonts.
Step3.
Hold down the power button. until it turns off.
Step 4.
Now you will see the firmware is 1.0. THIS DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE FIRMWARE 1.0 STUPID NOOBS.
All This does is change the firmware name. So You can update it to 1.50
Step 5.
Run the psp 1.50 update install located in your games directory. If you have not placed it in already.
Run it. and install it.
You will notice an error at 99% it always has this error no matter what version your updating to. YOU PSP IS NOT BRICKED!!! It’s just frozen. so Hold the power button. wait for it to restart. it will boot up, and now you have a Psp 1.50.
Step 6.
Go download a psp 1.5 game, place it in your folder. under psp/games/name.
there should be 2 folders called
name, and name%, place both files in.
Step 7.
Run the Games
Step 8.
Enjoy =P
I had US version 1.51, upgraded it to 2.0 a few days ago. Did the instructions as stated by #185 and mine is now BRICKED. Power light turns on but nothings else. I have rebooted it by holding down the power and removing the battery for 15 secs. I noticed my WLAN is turned on, don’t know if that made any difference.
homebrews works after you have downgrade it. i had eu version 2.0 and now it is 1.5… grate
some1 plz help! i have a long long day at uni n really wish i cud get this2 work! any help wud be much appreciated
Worked fucking well with my EU-PSP!!!!!! You just have to put all the files on your psp as described and then go to the psp-photo-menu and press “x”. Photo-Menu is the PSP-Menu-Icon on which you normally can view your photos. (I guess your photo-directory on your memory stick hast to be empty except the overflow.tif) Thats all!!! Big shout to MPH!
I was just wondering.. I have a region 1 PSP 1.50 I was wondering whether to upgrade and then downgrade with this package, cos I wanna play region 2 UMD movies on it. I was wondering does this have the added bonus of making it region free ?
#219
where did it brick? when it said it was at 99% error? you have to hold for much longer then 15 sec. i had to hold for like 60 sec. take out batt. place back in, turn on. see what happens
Looks like WAB has been beaten again…
EAT A DICK WAB!
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY GAMES REQUIRE 2.0 TO PLAY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE!!
JUST RUN PSPSET08 OR WAB VERSION CHANGER. SET TO 2.0 AND IT WILL THINK IT IS A 2.0 AND WILL RUN FINE.
THIS TECHNIQUE WAS THE ORGINAL FOUNDER OF THE 2.0 DOWNGRADE.
#217
I have the adapter plugged in and it says “battery level low”…
Holy crap I ran this program and It said to call techsupports about error (FFFFFF) when at 99% i thought i had royally f’d my psp but in the end it worked. Grats to all those who made this possible!
some1 help me im tryin 2 play sega
mine downgraded to version 1.00 then i ran the 1.50 update and it worked!!!! i was so happy. but then when i went to run homebrew on it, it didnt work?? can someone explain please?
GUNNA SHIT MYSELF
Easier? Instructions:
1. Download the MPH downgrader from: http://www.psp-hacks.com/downloads/MPHDowngrader.zip
2. Obtain the PSP 1.5 Eboot File from: http://shockzone.free.fr/PSP/Tool/EBOOT_1.50.zip
3. Place your PSP into USB mode, and enter the GAME folder, if it does not already exist, create a folder called UPDATE, and extract the EBOOT_1.50.zip into this folder.
4. Stay in USB mode, and Extract the following files from MPHDowngrader.zip into:
————————-
overflow.tif
Location: \PSP\PHOTO
————————–
h.bin & Index.dat
Location: \ (root directory).
This is the directory you see when you first the the folders on your PSP after you place it into USB mode.
—————————
5. Exit USB mode, and navigate to the Photo menu. There, open the overflow.tif. The PSP’s screen will turn black, and will freeze. Turn off your PSP by holding down the power button for around 10 seconds.
6. Connect the AC adaptor to the PSP.
7. Turn your PSP on, and navigate to the PSP’s game menu and Launch the 1.5 Update. Follow the prompts.The update may fail towards the end – if it does, hold down the power button about for around 10 seconds, and turn the PSP back on.
8. Check your PSP’s version. It should now be 1.5. Enjoy.
#230
Stupid Noob. you did not downgrade to 1.0. you just CHANGED YOUR FIRMAWARE NAME TO 1.0 Try running an Eboot file. see what happen you F*** noob. srry for being so harsh, but no one seems to listen.
Why didnt it work? did you make sure its a 1.5 game
1.0 runs straigh Eboot files.
1.5 Runs 2 eboot files.
example
Game1 and Game1%
******************************************************It works(downgrader), Follow the instructions, and then for those who have never had homebrew you need to use the kxploit otherwise you won’t be able to run homebrew. I did it, and its working for me so w0ot baconXD
how do i kno it has 2 eboot?
I’ve been able to downgrade, but has anyone else also been able to run “some” homebrews but not emulators ?
YOU WILL SEE 2 FOLDERS.
EXAMPLE. MARIO GAME
1.0 LOOKS LIKE THIS
MARIO/EBOOT.PBP
1.5 LOOKS LIKE THIS
MARIO/EBOOT.PBP
MARIO%/EBOOT.PBP
yay now sony will make a better update!!!
Try charging your battery for a while. I had that same problem when upgrading to 2.00. Would get the same error message even with the adapter plugged in. Didn’t work until after I had fully charged my battery.
FOR PEOPLE GETTING THE POWER ERROR!!!
i had the same problem but i have a 1.5 and 2.0 here….. the 2.0 was at low battery even though it was plugged in…. i switched batteries with the 1.5 with 63% power in the battery and it worked…. the power in the battery matters!!!
wow…that freaked me the fuck out…i ran the downgrader, and then the 1.5 updater…of course it errored at 99% i was expecting that…but after i rebooted…it gave me a strange screen saying data corrupted….i did shit my pants a little but i restarted agian, and every thing is fine
Does this work with a Japanese 2.0???? And has anyone have proof of reupgradition to 2.00
when i try ceres it says A.WAv LOAD ERROR
#242 YES, it does upgrade again to 2.00 but why would you want to do that? just use pspset and trick it into thinking its 2.00 and use fastloader with the tiny web browser from wipeout pure. i think it’s down to 24 megs or something for the browser. you don’t need 2.0 at all!
#237 for soem homebrew that don’t come with both folders, do I make a copy of the eboot and put it in another identical named folder but with a % ?
awsome work man you are king
#239 and #240
Thanx, I have about 30% now, I guess Ill just let it charge for a while and try it later =)
does anybody have pictures of this happening and nobody answered about JP.
#245 go do dowloads section and download kxploit. that’ll explain it all. if you still don’t get it go back to the beginning, like in june/july when kxploit came out and check what people said back then.
the EBOOT in the readme file, is it for JP/US version?
i have Jap PSP so can i use that link’s EBOOT to update?
#250 yes
does this work for a web browser?
http://www.mobiledeviant.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=50
#252 will only work for 1.0 until you use kxploit. dload it in dloads section. should work, but i’ve never ever used it or heard of it working. just looking at the files makes me think it should though
Thanks 249, appreciate the help!
Is it me, or do none of the emulators work after you have downgraded? I have tried all genesis and snes emulators, and all return the error “The game could not be started {80020001}”??????
This rocks! It worked perfectly. Anyone with a quarter of a brain should be able to make it work easily. It worked on the first try, NO BRICK, changed US PSP w/ japanese v2.0 to fully functional v1.5. MPH rocks! I feel bad for anyone that bricked their psp, but it is not the downgraders fault!!! I am not only able to downgrade to v1.5, upgrading back to US v2.0 worked like a charm too. The absolute best of both versions is just an upgrade or downgrade away. 5 stars for a kickass job!
So the only downloadable webbrowsers are for 1.0 no 1.5 and i dont mean wipeout pure
#255 have you gotten any homebrew working yet?
Ok, so after rebooting from the overload screen I went to the game folder of my PSP and only found a file that said: “Corrupted Data” anyone know what this is and how I can fix this?
Just a quick note – make sure the left hand switch (the one that switchs between the wireless and memorycard setting) is switched to the mem card (push down)
otherwise the update doesn’t work correcty.
Tried this on a Australian psp – works a treat!
IT WORKED 4 ME!!!!!!!
#232 thanx a million 4 the easy instructions, and thanx to MPH for makin this possible in the 1st place……FUCK HATERS!!!!!!
Sorry i meant
So the only downloadable webbrowsers are for 1.0 no 1.5? and i dont mean wipeout pure
can i delete all the files off my mem stick after a successful downgrade? anyone know?
any browser that works on 1.0 WILL work on 1.5 but only after using kxploit on the eboot.pbp the only one that i’ve tried though is the wipeout pure browser.
#263 yes, once the dgrade is complete you can do anything you wish to the files on your memory stick. i’d recommend clearing out all the files from the downgrade. those are not needed after it’s successful
#260, in my case it worked with the WLAN switch in the on position!
I’ve got a working 1.5 US PSP, and I want to upgrade to 2.0 and then downgrade back down to 1.5, because some people say they still have their web browser, which I don’t have rignt now since it’s an original 1.5. Can someone try this? And if some has, does it work? I don’t want to brick my PSP, but the web browser would be awesome.
#255- I got the snes9xTYL-0.1 emulator working after I downgraded, functions great just like before….
Bravo.. just fscking bavo.. Good work guys.. this is awesome.
I downgraded my 1.51 USA PSP, works like a charm. I believe the ones that said their psps are bricked are morons, thats it
This fucking rocks. Easy downgrade. Hate the gay purple background for this month. Gotta change that shit.
Followed instructions from post no. 232, and it worked just great. Have European PSP. Notes:
I got the “contact Sony” error at the end of upgrading. Just turned off, and on again. Not a problem.
Then I got a message, that my old settings file was corrupted, and to press the O button to restore default settings (very nice!).
After that, I had to choose language, time-zone etc. as if it was a brand new 1.50 machine. And then it worked. Tried homebrew – works just fine.
I guess you should NOT TAKE THE BATTERY OUT during this process, and ALWAYS HAVE THE POWER SUPPLY PLUGGED IN during this process.
That’s my advice to people.
G R E A T R E L E A S E ! ! !
it is possible to downgrade and the upgrade back to v2 again? just i case i dont like it?
IT WORKS! DONT LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE! IT WORKS!!!!
ps – to those who have no idea what the fuck their doing. follow the .txt that comes w/ the downgrader.
when it comes across any error messages, like “contact sony” or “99% update failed motherfucker”, just IGNORE it and restart ur PSP or take out the battery or w/e.
….IT WORKS >_
what games can we play besides ceres
Will this mess up your psp forever…
because some people here claim psp have had problems after downgrading…
Will you be able to go back to 2.0?
if not iam stayin with 2.0.
why do we need to downgrade can’t we just all wait for some 2.0 homebrew its gunna be out soon..
now that every one downgrading 2.0 homebrew makers are gunna stop.
yay now i can update my 1.5 to 2.0 then downgrade to 1.5 GOODJOB
Sweet. All props to MPH and all the other coders that made this possible.
Follow the clear instructions and it just works!
I have a 1003 UK which shipped with 1.52, but now I have played Burnout and Hot Shots from MS!!
Fastloader works fine.
Many Many thanks guys.
IT WORKS!! 1st thing my PSP didnt want to restart after opening PHOTO so i had to take out the battery than i went to system setting and it said 1.0 so i launched the PSP Update v1.5 and it worked got to 99% stoped and i needed to restart my PSP didnt want to restart so i can to take out the battery got the blue error screen [normal] then it worked OMG!!!
Is it safe to delete the files (h.bin, index.dat, etc.) in the root folder after a successful downgrage? Just making sure =P
Can you upgrade to 2.0 after you have dowgraded to 1.5?
Grats MPH. Let us all commend them on their efforts and thank them for not blowing smoke up our ass with shitty videos. This is the way to do it, just release the shit.
Followed all the instructions in the readme, and the very good ones on here, and i’ve got homebrew running! Its an EU PSP so anybody saying it doesnt work on it either fucked up, or something else went wrong for them. Nice Work!!!
listen i need help i wanna play the super smash game for psp but i cant get it to work im new in this and i need help in understanding how to play homebrew games and about emulators please im me on msn peterakajuan@hotmail.com or AIM juanacosta1989 please i need help
SWEET as hell guys i now love my psp even more since its a 1.50 ! =) CREDS TO MPH lots of love !
still downloading the eboot file, can’t wait to try the homebrew. wat’s a good site to download games? do i need to download emulaters aswell, or can i download just the game? Point me to the right website.
wow, totally worked, that rules… big F U to sony… well can’t crack 1.51 or 1.52, but guess what someone just 0wn3d 2.0 beeyatches… all we want is homebrew, stop messing with us, otherwise great coders will keep doing similar things.. but WOW, out of the blue, a somewhat crazy sounding exploit, very effective… best part is when it says “please contact sony” at the end of the downgrade w/ error.. even though it works fine… should contact them and tell them to quit updating the firmware of just let us run homebrew c’maaaan sony.. WTF mangs
Hey Guys!

I already have 1.5 but I have been waiting for a downgrader so I can see what 2.0 looks like. Any help would be great. TYIA

IT WORKS!!!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!
*********************************************
READ #135 FOR INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!
YOU STILL NEED THE KXPLOIT TO RUN HOMEBREW, READ 135, THEN LOOK ON PSP-HACKS FOR THE KXPLOIT PROGRAM.
**************************************************************
i tried it… i put the overflow.tif in my photos folder, but when I went to my photos, just highlited the “Photo” icon and pressed X… it froze right there and then turned black… the index.dat and h.bin are in the PSP’s root directory… not MP_ROOT, but just \ … you know… the ROOT DIRECTORY… after it froze… it went black, but then it just restarted on its own… ok ok hold up hold up…. i just tried it again while i was typing this and I got it to go to 1.0, but now it says the upgrade I have is just corrupted data…. so here I go… looking for another 1.5 upgrade to DL….
yeah… i can’t get it to work… every one i unzip it says Corrupted Data… anyone else get this? i got it to go to 1.0, but can’t upgrade to 1.5…. I’m not a n00b… so don’t be a bitch… just answer the question
I asked this on another site, but I haven’t gotten an answer yet.
Wouldn’t it suck if Sony seized on the opportunity, now that lots of people are trying out 2.0 for the first time, or dabbing in 1.5 and then going back to 2.0, to quietly release an altered update that would patch up the security hole.
Here we are, thinking that we can switch back by doing the network update and then, whoops, can’t pull off the downgrade anymore.
Is there a way of upgrading safely? In other words, can we download the 2.0 upgrade file and keep it on our desktop whenever we want to upgrade back to 2.0 safely?
instead of people callin other people idiots.. why dont u just help people out? if you all are so smart
WOOT downgraded to 1.50!! Bring on tha Homebrews. OK JUST DO WHAT #70 SAYS! I FOLLOWED HIM AND I DOWNGRADED TO 1.5 BUT ONE THING NO WEB BROWSER!!!
MATTER OF FACT I HAVE NO 2.0 OPTIONS CANT SELECT THEME OR ANYTHING MOTHER FUCKING LIERS!!
what is the root of the memory stick!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is the website i got mine from. it was good for me. maybe it will help http://shockzone.free.fr/PSP/Tool/EBOOT_1.50.zip
i still cant use homebrew tho. can anyone help?
The root of the memory stick is for most people e:\ . When you view the contents of the memory stick it will say PSP, MP_Root, ETC. You don’t drag any of the files to any of the above folders but rather the folder that those folders exist in.
ISSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Funciona…. agora da pra fazer tudo!!
arg… i’m stupid… heheh…. heheh… its case sensitive and i’m a dumbass… you have to have UPDATE in all caps for it to work … and now its updating……
and it worked :) … i got 1.5… lost my web browser… but i can just upgrade again if i want it… now it’s on to homebrew…
Another confirmation. And anyone who’s worried about it being a ‘virus’ like 292 said, dont worry. his batteries prolly ran out or he did something wrong. it would be nearly impossible to make a virus like that. it would mean decrypting the 1.50 eboot.pbp, which is impossible, then inserting code somewhere.
but, it works, and if you’re having trouble with HB, just read about it and use kxpoloit.
This worked for me and everything, its nice to have this downgrader for when i need it. But for right now, im sticking with 2.00. I like the web browser. (Prepares for useless opinion flaming)
HEy i downgraded To 1.50v is There Any WAY i can download TO 1.00v????????????????
HELP!
Hey guys, i kinda wanted to try out 2.00. i have 1.5 but has anyone tried going from 1.5>2.00>1.5??? i wish i could get the webbrowser and homebrew!
1.00!! THATS A GOOD 1 HAS ANY1 TRIED DOWNGRADING TO 1.0
1.00!! THATS A GOOD 1 HAS ANY1 TRIED DOWNGRADING TO 1.0?
#379-
I did that and it works fine. The
downgrader will bump you right back after you have fun with the browser for a bit :-).
Just reading these posts gives me a headache. Too many incredibly stupid people.
Scientists capture giant squid on camera
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9503272/ WOW WHAT A DAY IN NEWS…downgrader for the psp and now this!!!i love it!

Great stuff loves the SNES iso and UMD EMULATOR (socom 3 beta iso is fun online)
Cant get GBA emu on here to work though.
Just wondering if it was okay to delete these files off the memory card after the downgrade? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
In the root folder:
camarche – DAT File
index – DAT File
100 – bin file
h – bin file
index.dat.bak – BAK file
In the photo folder:
overflow TIF
In the Game folder
EBOOT.PHP (1.50)
Thanks!
after downgrading you could delete everything and still have the 1.50 firmware

I want to be 400…..also I downgraded…
I DONT HAVE A PSP =’(
For those of you having trouble w/ the second part of the downgrade…. 1.0 to 1.5 if your seeing a corrupt icon when your trying to upgrade i think its because the folder UPDATE in psp/game folder Must be in all CAPS.
Great Thank’s for PSP hacking guys.Without you guys will be not
so interesting.
And finaly thank’s for the dongrader (yupi) :)
WERE DO I GET THE EBOOT.PBP?? ITS NOT IN THE FOLDER!!?
If Sony wants ppl ot stop hacking, then how about making it so that you can watch any video file type, that way you can just download it to your video directory and watch it.
Tried on an Australian 2.0 psp. You guys are probably sick of the hero worship… Oh well, one more won’t hurt. YOU GUYS ARE FREAKIN RAD!
For all the ppl not finding the eboot, check here:

I have 1.0 JP and 1.50 US. I upgraded my 1.50 US to 2.00 US. Then I followed the instructions. After overflow.tif was executed, some print appeared on the screen. Take out battery, restart the PSP. Going to system version it shows 1.00. Then I plugged in the AC adaptor, ran the 1.50 update. It gets to 99% and freezes. Restart the PSP again, upon reboot it gives an error, System Settings Corrupt, Pres O to fix. Did that, then it fixes the settings, gotta re-enter all settings again(even Net Settings). Now its a 1.50 again and can run homebrew.
It works like a charm. No problems here. Dont know if it works on 1.0 and I will not try it either. Simply because 1.0 runs homebrew better than 1.50(none of that kxploit shit… and can run BARE ELFS, right out of the box).
whats so better that 2.0 has that 1.5 doesn’t (except web browser)thanx to all the people that have posted for all the info. im getting a psp tomorrow.
I already have a 1.50 but want to check out 2.0….I guess I can upgrade now.
Are the Australian PSP’s the same as the New Zealand PSP’s? I have a NZ one and am only a student: if i brick it, i cant afford a new one!!! So… can anyone 100% guarantee me that it WILL NOT brick my NZ PSP? Anyone?
I always had a 1.50 but my cousin bought a 1.52. He upgraded to 2.0. I downloaded the downgrader and successfully downgraded his to 1.5. I copied over all my emulators and Madden 06 and it worked flawlessly on his psp. Out of curiosity, I then upgraded back to 2.0. Worked fine, then downgraded once again, 100% both ways. This does truly work!
i don’t understan where is the file eboot.pbp
thannks
I hope it’ll work on my EU psp 2.0 ++ ;-)
you can brick your psp doing a regular upgrade. The risk is slim
#411 – Was his PSP australian or NZ? Does it matter? Or will i need to find a NZ version fo the 1.5 update?
That wab version changer is lookin mighty nice right now
WORKED FUCKIN WONDERFULLY on my EU VERSION WITH EU UPDATE!!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
I repeat: if you live outside the US or have a different PSP (eg – NZ or Australian) will you need to get the NZ or Australian 1.5 update? (because i dont think one even exists as they came as 1.52)
YEESSSSSSSSSS!!! DAMN MPH ROCKS!!!!
