Needed: One Paperweight!!
Why?
Because today I successfully downgraded my PSP and have not bricked it!!!
Regular readers will remember that yesterday I was debating whether to downgrade the PSP or not.
Well it seems while I was debating back and forth, someone released an Easy Downgrader, basically a windows wizard that talks you through turning back your PSP firmware from 2.71 to 1.5. This was the kind of software that I needed, so I downloaded it, plugged the PSP into the USB port and executed the program.
It was so intuitive, talking you through each step, and transferring all the files you needed for you. It was stilll nerve wrecking, sitting there with a PSP with a blank red screen for five minutes, but then it reset. Upon switching the PSP on again, I saw that I had version 1.5 of the firmware, and I could begin to install my lovely homebrew. Already
I have a fantastic C64 emulator (portable Uridium - joy!!), and a great Megadrive emulator (what were good Megadrive games, though? I never had one, and only really played Sonic).
Off to get a UMD loader (for playing PSP games off the memory stick) and a devhook (for emulating 2.71 firmware - no downside to this downgrade at all it would seem).
Joy!
