PSPsetX for PSP 2.0

greg | December 9, 2005

Placasoft of Team Emergency Exit has released PSPsetX v0.2 for firmware version 2.0 users! This PSP homebrew application allows you to easily customize various PSP settings – gameboot, swap X-O buttons, etc… and best of all – it comes equipped with one of the safest downgraders!

From the readme.txt:

With the safest downgrade function ever!!!
Just select downgrade, go to the PSP menu afterwards and start the 1.5 update!

Other features include:

  • Change Gameboot
  • – Change Gameboot = copies the Gameboot.pmf from ms0:/Gameboot.pmf into the flash
  • – Backup Gameboot = copies the Gameboot.pmf from the flash into ms0:/Gameboot.pmf
  • – Restore original Gameboot = Restores the old gameboot.pmf
  • Firmware Tweaks
  • – Set Version 1.00 – 2.5 = Sets your PSP Version to 2.5. You can now also play games which require 2.5
  • Change X-O-Buttons
    Before using this please restore factory settings
  • – Set X as enter (US / EU) = now X = enter at the psp menu
  • – Set = as Enter (jp) = now O = enter at the psp menu
  • Stuck Pixel Cleaner
  • – Start cleaning = takes about 20 minutes

Download PSPsetX v0.2

Please remember this ONLY works on firmware version 2.0

So is it more of a “faster” way to downgrade back to 1.5 while in 2.0…I guess I don’t really get it…As most of these things are not really necessary in 2.0.

Off course it writes to flash…
Check;

Change Gameboot
- Change Gameboot = copies the Gameboot.pmf from ms0:/Gameboot.pmf into the flash
- Backup Gameboot = copies the Gameboot.pmf from the flash into ms0:/Gameboot.pmf

The gameboot is the screen that you get when you load a game, and no you cant play 2.5 games with 1.5

 
Comment by Racer_X
2005-12-09 14:52:14

Where do you put the EBOOT? There’s only one EBOOT. I tried putting it in GAME but it didn’t work…

 
Comment by SHeru
2005-12-09 15:02:32

- Set Version 1.00 – 2.5 = Sets your PSP Version to 2.5. You can now also play games which require 2.5

This means we can play games which requrie 2.5 firmware…like gta??/?

GTA doesnt require 2.5! Does it? It requires 2.0.

 
Comment by P2Pl33t
2005-12-09 15:20:56

Ok this is what it does.

You need 2.0 with the Fanjita Loader. You put the eboot in a folder called PSPSETX under PSP/Game. Anyway after you put in the eboot go to fanjitas loader (get it at http://www.fanjita.org) download v8.0 v8.5 doesnt work for me. Then just click on the file and run it. Use the menu to select what to do…

Omg newbs

O ya and its to run 2.5 games on 2.0 NOT 1.5 or 1.0 FUCKING RETARDS

 
Comment by atmeclipse
2005-12-09 15:32:04

You can put the eboot under PSP->PHOTO if you use fanjita loader v0.85. Thats what I did and it works fine.

Yea, there has actually been a downgrader for quite a while, but I dont see whats safer about the new downgrader, it still stops at 99%.

Yes it can. Upgrade to firm 2.0. play gta using the UMD. After you finished playing, use this tool to go back to firm 1.5 and play your ISO’s

Comment by Mark
2005-12-09 23:13:20

The pmf for the gameboot video should not be bigger than 1,2MB

What does that means???

another thing.. Let’s suppose I downgrade back to 1.5 firmware…
How can I upgrade to 2.0 again if this Tool only works on 2.0 firmware???????

many thanks

 
Comment by laaa
2005-12-10 00:14:56

to #39. yes you just need a umd that has the 2.0 upgrade on it and put the 1.5 upgrade on memstick in the /psp/game/update folder.

This only tricks your psp into thinking it is a 1.0 so it can run the 1.5 update.

every program and piece of electronic utensiles that we all use, come with the “Use at Own Risk” thing. I want to see a clear easily visable video.

I’ve changed the FW to 1.0 ,but do I need a 1.5 required game to get the 1.5 update or is there another way?

I have used the downgrader inc in PSP set on my psp and I can comfirm that it works. Also to all the noobs, u know who u r, this basically acts as a firmware triker for firmware 2.0 so it is NOT a GTA ISO loader.

 
Comment by DrMadCow
2005-12-10 16:58:48

This is a great program! Great work! It’s better then the origional downgrader plus has all the extra features. And for the noobs worried about it writing to flash it has a option to edit the gameboot video! Even if you delete the gameboot video it dont hurt anything and it lets u restore it

Upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0 to use pspsetx to downgrade to 1.5, back to 2.0 and so on and so forth. How many times will a psp “survive” up and downgrading – forever?

I’ve just tested it, run it from the fanjita lodeaer and I was able to set the firmware easily to 2.0 and back to 1.5, but it DIDN’T run any umd emulation that runs fine on 1.5. So if you think you can play 2.0 games and then switch back easily to 1.5 with it’s set version in order to play your isos’- it wouldn’t work!

 
Comment by Bootsey
2005-12-11 11:09:41

Are there currently any programs which allow you to keep 1.5 and trick your store purchased games into thinking you’re running 2.0? I did this a couple months ago with WAB. I’m a little apprehensive to upgrade and possibly mess up the Emulators.

So i create a folder called PSPSETX under PSP/Game and put the EBOOT.PBP file in it.

After that, how do i use the fanjita loader v0.8 to activate the downgrade?

2005-12-11 12:48:28

it’s a multishit, I can downgrad but different umd videos I can’t play and I think GTA doesn’t work. My problem is Gameboot.pmf who can I find it and the video are different to With the safest downgrade function ever!!!
Just select downgrade, go to the PSP menu afterwards and start the 1.5 update

PLEASE make it clear that you need to have the FIRMWARE VERSION 1.5 ON YOUR MEMORY STICK in order to ACTUALLY DOWNGRADE with this program!

2005-12-13 16:24:33

…I think some people dont understand that this is only for PSP’s with Firmware v2.0.

So using this on 1.5 to trick the psp into thinking its 2.0, aint gonna work.

Anyway, ive tested it, it works fine. Got the pixel cleaner running now. Just wondering if anyone knows if it turns off after 20 mins or do i have to do it manualy?

2005-12-13 22:13:15

Ok. I have a downgraded 1.5 psp. Tons of iso’s and homebrew
that work fine. If I upgrade to version 2.0 and use this program to boot iso’s and 2.5 iso’s,will going back down to 1.5 be fine? Will it run as it is now? (i don’t really give a toss about gta either b4 u scream at me). Just interested.

#65, That should be ok 1.5er; but as I haven’t tested it I can’t say for sure. Can anyone verify this?

Listen here. I hardley poast at all. First off n00bs who dont understand how to work this stuff. Leave theres no point in trying something that is so dangerous that it can brick your psp. If you cant be tought face to face then its better off that you do leave this alone.
Im not trying to flame its just people have been known to brick psps through this and even though this may be safer, it isnt brick proof. So leave it to the professionals or people who are expieranced enough to know what there doing.

You can use this through Fanjita’s GTA ELoader. Try the swap X and O keys, you’ll be surprised by the result :)

Yeah Ive tried doing this for a 2.60 required update of firmware game – Street fighter alpha – using this and the eLoader from Fanjita. I set my firmware for my psp to think it was 2.50, hoping that it would accept this for the game, however it didnt :( and still asked me for the 2.60 update. Does anyone know what to do?
