Hi,

I'm new to all this also. My PSP is on version 2.50 so will I be able to downgrade and will it work on my version?

jokeymaster · 11-16-2006, 02:22 AM

Well I am a proud owner of a PSP now...so need some help. The one i bought came downgraded to v1.5. I got three original games with it GTA, NFS and Socom. Just wondering is there anyway i can play these games, because the guy who sold the psp to me told me that as soon as u insert the original UMD in PSP it will ask you to upgrade the firm ware. Is there anyway we can work around that? Also just wondering when one downgrades a firmware is that making a change to the boot files which are saved on PSP or is it just some application stored on a memory stick? Sorry for so many question, hope you guys can help me out. Thanks a ton

jokeymaster · 11-16-2006, 06:17 PM

is it safe..as in are there any chances of it messing up ones PSP?

KHSebastian · 11-16-2006, 06:28 PM

Dev Hook does not write to your flash memory (I dunno if you know what that means, but yes, it is safe.)

jokeymaster · 11-16-2006, 08:31 PM

. Thank you all for your help
