psp downgrade

jimbling · 09-10-2007 4:47pm #1

hey, just wondering if there is anyone around the cork area that fancies helping me out with downgrading my psp for me. I got a free one recently, think its version 2.6.1. I haven't even used the thing yet. I had a quick look at downgrading but it looks like a lot of hassle and I don't really have the time to figure it all out. Ill never use it if I can't get some decent games on it... like the old arcade games, nes emulators etc...
So, is there anyone around that I could just hand the thing to and you could do the work for me ;-) no problem giving someone a few bob to do so.

cheers,
james

Well if you got your hands on a game called Lumines you can do it easily, i promise. Ill guide you through it.

Theres easy installers that do everything for you with no moving files or creating folders. All you have to remember is to have your psp fully charged and plugged in, and to format your memory stick and restore default settings before and after firmware upgrade\downgrade.

Edit: You can do it without the Lumines game if you update to firmware 2.80.
Use this easy installer:

If I was you, I'd try it myself. I just did the lumines downgrade about 2 weeks ago myself, and was surprised how easily it can be done, Once you read all the instructions carefully its fairly easy

Yeah, then you end up doing about 8 of them in one month....
It is crazy easy. I originally downgraded mine with the 2.80 HEN exploit as i had no working umd drive. Since then i have bought Lumines for a tenner and done it that way. Lumines method FTW.

There is always the pandora option but you will need to know someone with a hacked psp to get it to work!
