What do I do if I have v1.52? What do I do if I have 2.1 or 2.5?

Alias420 | October 14, 2005

Ok we have been receiving way too many e-mails asking these questions and my fingers are getting sore from copy and pasting the same replies. So here it is:

If you have a 1.52 then you need to upgrade to 2.0. Once you have upgraded to 2.0 you can use the MPH Downgrader. For more info on downgrading check out this link for a tutorial in our PSP forums.

If you have a 2.1 or 2.5 then you must wait if you wish to run homebrew. The only thing that can help is patience.

lol, #8 i dont think that we could have a downgrader for 2.5 that fast, they would first have to find a way to run some kind of basic homebrew on it, and if they already had that kind of exploit, it would be all over the web

Um just a comment for # 8, all those links that u put in your post dont work… your retarded.
So is #3, ppl that upgraded are not noobs. First of all not every1 uses homebrew, some ppl would rather have internet orr location free player.

So the followinf l are retarded: #3,#4 and #8.

Who moderates the coments here – christ, why do people feel the need to slag noobs – i hoped for some interesting comments relating to the subject `What do I do if I have 1.5x etc.’ Surely the headline posted is good enough to adddress the issue – all you guys who think you know something about the PSP post some help in here!
Oh and if you see a headline that you know inside out – don’t bother to leave a comment unless it fascilitates achieving the answer.
Man I hate cocky PSP wannabe experts!

your only retarted if you knew about homebrew and what it can do, and you still upgraded to 2.1/2.5. if someone upgraded to 2.1/2.5 not knowing about homebrew and all that other stuff, and then found out about it(like i did with v1.52) then thats just plain bad luck.

I’m a huge fan of the psp hacking scene, and a regular reader of this site. However, after reading a few of these comments pages I’m having second thoughts-
guys:
just because someone upgraded without realising the consequences does not make them a retard. And insulting them just to make yourself feel superior is a shitty thing to do. I can’t think of any other reason you’d insult them.
and: typing comments in capitals does not make your post any less pointless.

To whom needs help hacking downgrading their psp’s,

I had a big problem downgrading from 2.0 to 1.50. I would put the overflow.tiff file in the photo dir. and the h.bin and index.dat files in the root dir. But when I clicked on Photo (on psp, not computer)it would crash. I did research on this and other sites and found out that I was wrong! Not only do you need those files but you also need frame_buffer.png in the photo dir. Before you copy overflow.tiff from computer to E:\(my drive letter for psp)PSP\PHOTO, you need to copy frame_buffer.png to that dir., set it to wallpaper, delete it, THEN copy overflow.tiff. Don’t run the overflow.tiff untill you put theh.bin and index.dat files on the memory stick where you see PSP and Mp_root.(you don’t pu them in the root dir. (Mp_root)

you could upgrade if you want to

everyone who comments here needs to grow up. Stop calling people dumb or n00bs just for upgrading. Some people don’t give a crap about Homebrew, so let them do what they want.

So, basically, in a nutshell, stay at version 1.5.

Imagine this story repeating itself, when sony releases 2.75, 2.8, 3.0, 3.5, which will probably happen in the next few months. Go sony!

2005-10-18 00:26:11

Oy, one things for sure: At least that PSP 1.511111111111111 guy hasn’t commented on anything but that PS1 emulator early beta back three months ago… That was some IQ lowering crap if I’ve ever seen any.

What I want to know is why people feel the need to talk in dialects and accents and crap. I mean, it’s typing. You can’t hear what’s typed, so why try to spell out how you want it to sound? It tends to show a slight lack of intelligence to have to spell “mother” as “mutha”. Seriously.

Anyways… Anyone who has firmware higher than 1.5: Ok. Depends on what they’re using their PSP for. People that want homebrew, yeah, having higher than 1.5 is just plain silly, but those that don’t care about homebrew could care less about 1.5, and would rather have the higher firmwares. It’s really that simple.

i got this crazy idea how to run homebrew on 2.50 but it mite be a stupid idea idk u tell me k here it goes

i dont kno how but i think that the easiest way to run homebrew is to make a portal (like winpsp portal) that can read eboot files i wouldnt kno how to design it but u guyz can tell me if u think it can be done. its just an idea for u guyz that kno how to design and make all the cool shit thats on the site

Well beleive it or not there is a way to downgrade! I found it as a fluke, but its awesome. I just submitted it as a hack to this site, hopefully it will be up soon. You all will have to wait till then to downgrade. Peace Bitches! :P

Comment by Jam523
2005-11-06 13:19:41

Well they site didn’t post my downgrade (#72) as of yet so I’ll submit it here. Okay this is only for people that are at versions above 2.0, don’t upgrade to try it because you may screw yourself over, and NOTE THIS MAY BE RISKY,IT HAS ONLY BEEN TRYED ON MY OWN PSP!

Okay, heres how:
1)Borrow a copy of the new GTA from a friend, blockbuster, ect. (don’t steal it, thats bad, don’t buy because if the downgrade works, you can play it.)

2)put the UMD in and you will see an upgrade icon come up under the UMD icon. Plug in the AC adaptor and use the upgrade, if it was like mine it will “UPGRADE” from 2.52 to 2.0, Dumb Sony! It may take a few trys but should work (also other UMDs may have a similar UPGRADE option, but i only know of GTA, others may work!)

3)Once in in version 2.0 use the downgader on this site to obtain VERSION 1.5!!!

Sure I found it on a hunch, and it technically took no hacking on my part, it is a very useful glitch

Oh and I have a Ver 1.5, so i don’t come to this forum often, sorry if some of you dot a little jumpy, and also I give this discovery to PSP-hacks alone, so don’t give it to other hack sites, keep it here as long as possible.

Once again good luck with this and peace bitches.:)

Comment by Jam523
2005-11-09 18:58:53

To upgrade to 2.52 I used the upgrade built into Marvel Nemesis, thats how you get 2.52.
Anyway… you may have to try the upgrade and mess around with the psp, try the upgrade with AC adapter not attached, then put it in when prompted. Try many times over and over again. IT WORKED, THIS IS NOT A HOAX! Try it and mess with the AC pull out times. really this works keep trying. Oh try removing your memory stick when you try, so no data screws up or gets in the way.

I really hope it works for you.
