1st post

Good luck ppls

Yay now there is a better chance for this shit to actually work. This is amazingggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!

iI staetd that its risky many times, and it is, but this si for liability causes, dont blame us for it, but yea, I think it is pretty safe IMO

SWEET IT WORKED FOR ME! YES! i HAVE A 1.5 NOW! YES!

does the AC power adapter have to be in for this to work?

I’m happy for you 2.5/2.6 guys. Sony should take the hint, ALL FIRMWARES WILL GET HACKED AT SOME POINT.

I can also confirm it works

I have a factory 2.5 psp, if I update to 2.6 will my psp be able to downgrade from there?

I have a JPN White PSP with FACTORY 2.50 if I upgrade to 2.60 will this make mine compatible with the downgrader now?

BRICKED MY PSP BEWARE…gotta buy the chip now

so does it work i want to know because i have only one psp and it will take long for me to get a mod chip to unbrick it

http://www.scienotimes.com/dgvid.rar

i have no letteering on my psp. i bought it from china in october 2005 and i dont know if i should risk bricking it. u think i should try or wait for another downgrader??

do the files go in the games directory or what

MY PSP is a factory 2.50, if i upgrade to 2.60 will this work then?

Fuk1, guys above me: no, I dont think it will

were it has a folder of PSP

just tried it with a factory 2.01, updated to 2.6, now i have a 1.5 FW PSP!!!!!

so you dont need another psp know or do you ? to make this work

can some one help me

NO you don’t need another psp to make it work. why would you?

Wheres the ROOT of the memory stick

because in psp updates it said that you need a psp 1.5 and some folders to make it work

what?

u mean mp_root

congrats to those who got it to work, thanks for the sacrifice to those who bricked, and to those that are lying (psp blew up) shut up, ill try it later when it is confirmed working on more than 90%

go to pspupdates.com

the root is when you go to the computer open the psp it should have a PSP folder

OMG IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if u get a disc can not be read message restarted ur psp that worked for me)
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS DOWNGRADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so I followed the instructions, copied all the files to my PSP, plugged it in just to make sure the battery didn’t die in the process, and loaded up the downgrader. I kept watching the memory stick light flash, which went on for a while. What I didn’t expect was for the thing to automatically reboot to a screen stating my configuration was corrupted in many different languages. Nothing was written about that! Almost gave me a heart attack! I instinctively powered off and waited for a minute, then turned it back on with pounding heart - I was sure I had bricked it and was cursing myself for being so impatient and not waiting for a final version. I read the warning a little more carefully, though, and it said press O to restore configuration. That I did and was instantly relieved to see it was asking for setup info. I re-entered everything and VOILA! 1.5!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!! I’m so frigging relieved, you can’t believe. Honestly, though, I wish I had been warned about the automatic reboot and warning screen.

so if you downgrade the psp cant read umds?

no it can read umds still

so if u have 2.5 u gotta up to 2.6 then downgrade?

ok so all i need is the downloads up there and im ready to downgrade

For those who got it to work, can you please give more information, such as what version you have or if you have a TA-082 psp or not?

+gta lcs

omg ppl..

if it says TA-082 in the back of ur UMD reader u CANT do it.

if its a 2.5/2.6 factory psp it WONT work

read up on the 2.0 to 1.5 downgrader… its the same thing except u load the downgrader using GTA exploit not TIFF overflow

YES IT WORKED FOR ME THANK YOU MR AND I LOVE YOU!!!!!

also if ur scared of bricking ur psp just wait a few days… they’ll fix it up to be idiot proof im sure which is just as well 4 sum of u

(FACTORY 1.5 OH YEH)

I have a JPN White PSP with FACTORY 2.50 if I upgrade to 2.60 will this make mine compatible with the downgrader now?

good job! ive been waiting all this time for it to happen! does it work for 2.01?

pspudates didnt post certain files cause they are illegal use this that stuff (the 1.5 dump ) so follow these instructions they work with the psp udate confusion

Brian

Did you have a Factory 2.5/2.6?

Success here too it worked!!! I was very nervous despite all the people claiming it but I thought what the hell if it doesn’t owrk I will take it back to the store (who provide a year gurantee as they wouldn’t know what was wrong!!). Was originally a 2.5 > 2.6 now a 1.5!!!! :)

Nicely done, Pete. Congrats!!!

Is your psp a TA-082?

i think i’ll wait this one out until its fairly foolproof. or I’ll trade psps with a dumb kid and there you know ill have a 1.5

not as good as the 7.0 downgrade tyler made

This Downgrader is great. It worked on my PSP which I had upgraded to 2.5 when it was orginally 1.5. I got a little freaked when some weird message popped up telling me to restore to factory settings. When I turned off the PSP and then turned it back on it gave me the same message, so I pressed “O” and went through the settings and BAM I have 1.5 now. Thank you very much for this working beta.

well i’m going to try it right now… i hope this isn’t the last tie my psp will be working.

After the downgrade, wouldnt it be better to upgrade to 2.0 and then downgrade to 1.5? This will help us counter any side-effects, if any.

I’m confused because people don’t know how to type. Do you or do you not need the files PSP updates were talking about (1.5 files)?

share the wealth can anyone send me the 1.50 downdater pls….my email is jordanradoc@gmail.com

My friend had an 1.5 psp but he did some shit and bricked it, he send it to sony and he got an 2.6 back. Will the DG work for him?

help me i cant do it
it just says it cant read the umd and thats where i get stuck

well all went well for me! I went to pspupdates.com and got the 1.50 helper files for my 1.5 psp, i also got the downdater 2.60 files, then i upgraded my 2.50 psp to a 2.60 psp just to make sure, and then i fallowed all the instructions for what to do with the 1.50 helper files. I got all the files i needed from my 1.50 psp. Next i fallowed the instructions for the 2.60 psp downdater test and put in the ac power cord. waited a long time for the light to stop flashing and then it did it restarted automatically and said i had currpted files so i pressed O and then it rebooted and now i’m sitting here with two 1.50 psps

I hope that helps some people.

This worked 100% really well just make sure you read the screen after it automatically reboots and then press O to load the default config.

Another Success.

OMG i was just going through ebay looking for a white psp version 1.5 to run me iso “BACK UPS” lol and i just read this. This is so funny as i have been reading the progress of the first release and when everyone bricked it. lol NOW THERE IS A WORKING ONE?! lol This is so cool. I have 4 PSP lol one black 1.5 one white 2.0 and two blacks with 2.5 lol I like to have options. lol

SOOOOOOO FUNNY!Lol

i just wanted you guys to help me out and help me get a psp
check it out please and i would appreciate it if anyone can help me out

http://www.psps4free.com/default.aspx?r=672007

where do u put the i.50 helper

and is it for 2.60 also\

First of all, Thankyou guys for all the effort put into making this possible, especially in the pass few days. Great guy, Dark_Alex, Mathieulh and Yoshihiro from SonyXTeam!

Secondly, to all those of you asking really stupid questions, please… spend some time reading about what is a TA082, a factory 2.5, 2.6 and such infos important to downgrading properly before even attempting anything.Cause after the downgrade, there are still eloaders, iso, emulators, etc.

Lastly, I have a TA082, factory 2.6… I’m still waiting patiently…. fingers still crossed, let there be light at the end of the tunnel.

yup did it for fun and it works pretty insane. good work. now we need have one made for 2.71

no i had a 2.5 before then wen i got a new game i upgraded to 2.6 and then wen i tried this it worked. also i got the psp wen it 1st came out in us

OK people that are asking stupid questions,it does NOT work on a 2.01, if you have that then you have to upgrade to a 2.5/6 to use this. And if u have a factory -2.5-or-2.6- then you cant do it, you must have bought your psp with a diffrent firmware and then upgraded to 2.5/6. and last of all your psp cannot be a TA-082 because if it is, then it wont work. to see if your psp is a version TA-082 look here:

I had a factory 2.5 PSP and I was able to update to 2.6 then downgrade all the way to 1.5, idk why some say it doesn’t work cuz it worked for me.
