Many have asked how to downgrade psp this is something that can be done with any version except the 2.05 and the 2.50. These have been set up with no current means to be downgraded. This means that only the 1.51 and the 1.52 version can be downgraded to the 1.50 version. The original version is the 1.0, this version is one that will not run all the homebrew games that have been in the internet.
This full downgrade of psp to a version that can play the games is to set them to a 1.50 version. Since it can only be done for two version, it is required to know the version of the psp when you purchase this. That can be easily learned by checking the package that the psp is purchased in.
Please consider that the firmware of the 1.51, 1.52, and the 2.0 was set up to be downgradable to a version of psp that can support the homebrew games. The one that can perform the best with this is the 2.0. The 2.05 and the 2.50 are never expected to be capable of being downgraded si nce they have the firmware altered to make such things impossible.
The first thing to know is what homebrew is. This is a name for the custom designing that has been done by programmers that have made not just portable games that can be played on the psp, but also emulators that can make it possible to play Super NES, NES, Mega Drive, Master System, Amiga, NeoGeo, SCUMMVM, Gameboy, and other game roms. This makes the psp able to support a huge arsenal of games that are not normally available to the psp and also many of the homebrew additions make these games play at an optimized format.
The two main things that will be needed to run homebrew games is a large memory stick and also a computer. The files that need to be obtained can be downloaded from the internet directly into the psp using an USB port and having the computer utilize the psp as a detachable media. This means that the files can be placed directly from the PC to the psp.
In the memory stick cre ate a folder path that is PSPGame as this is where the homebrews will be saved. Each game should have 2 respective folders that will house the games and the 1.50 hack boot up. For example, Doom would be loaded as two folders that would contain all the files these would be Doom and Doom% . The Doom folder will house all the boot up files that will be needed to get the psp to load as a 1.50 and the Doom% will contain the game itself. This is done but turning the psp off and off and hitting the O and the X buttons.
There are two files that are needed to run the homebrew games properly and make it possible for multiple games to be loaded onto one memory stick. These files are Umd Emulator 0.8c and also Devhook 0.22 as these will make the emulators readable and the bootup process accepted by the firmware. Without these two files the folder above are just junk. These will help discern what the folders are and also how to access the files that are within them.
This has been a tested means that has been proven to be not only useful, but also capable of running various game platforms on the psp. This gives the psp an advantage that all of the other portable game consoles are sorely lacking.
