2.0 Downgrader Released!!
Alias420 | September 27, 2005
MPH has done it! They have released their 2.0 -> 1.50 downgrader. This is all the buzz around the net now as thousands of 2.0 users have started downgrading their PSP’s it’s reported to work on all 2.0 PSP’s US, EU, JP. Grab it here:
or get it from here… (thanks Callum)







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!

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

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

WTF!!!! This worked, but instead of downgrading to 1.50 it downgraded to 1.00!!! i am serious! this isnt a j/k, i had two and now it says that my sytems is 1.00… weird, but still i am so happy yay
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
