Downgrading My PSP =]

[GodPigeon]

Ok so i FINALLY got me an UNPATCHED version of GTA:LCS. I downloaded the Downgrader and im ready to downgrade. Before i do this, is there anything i should know to help avoid bricking my PSP??

[BlackKnight]

Just make sure you have the right downgrader. Otherwise cross your fingers and hope for the best .

 

My personal paranoid advice would be to go and turn all the power saving / screen saving features off, and keep the UMD drive door open while you do the downgrading as well. And yeh don't accidentally touch the power button at any time during the flashing.

 

It's all pretty basic stuff though- you should be fine.

[Mooney]

Keep the charger in and don't let your hands get sweaty!

[BlackKnight]

Oh yeh, and keep the charger plugged in .

[Kloplop321]

keep the battery over 80% and hope there are no power outs

 

uh, to be safe, put it on a flat table, not in your pocket

only use 1 finger at a time with it

don't "accidentally" drop a hammer on it

don't let a dog or a cat touch it

don't sneeze on it

don't flush it while downgrading

don't expose it to any liquids(including urine)

Don't worry, Be Happy

taking your advice for 3.51 M33-2?

 

But i have no clue what im doing right now. How will i be able to play the PSP games. And i have ISO files and a couple of CSO files, Whats the difference?

[BlackKnight]

CSOs are compressed but otherwise no difference. For a handful of games that will make make them load longer or lag but I use them anyway.

 

For any CFW, just make a folder at the memory stick root called ISO\ and put the files in there. They'll show up under Game > Memory Stick on the XMB. From there on let the good times roll.

Thanx, How is PSX Emulation?? Which other Emulators Run at 100% if any?

[BlackKnight]

PS1 Emulation is mostly flawless. You don't use an emulator for that though... you just package PS1 ISOs into a PSP format.

 

Other emulators? NES, Master System, Turbografx etc all run 100% at 222mhz. CPS1, CPS2 and NeoGeo run 100% at 333mhz. Mega Drive and SNES are close but not quite 100%. MAME... don't even go there. PSP MAMEs suck.

[GodPigeon]

Great man, Thanx a Million. I Upgraded to 3.51 M33 Safely =]

one More question, can i delete all these files i used to install the CFW or do they have to stay??

[BlackKnight]

No problem. They can go once you're done.

 

Congrats on hacking the PSP! Try out Silent Hill Origins if you're into that kind of thing. I'm quite liking it.

[GodPigeon]

Once again, Thank you For helping me out here. I already got PSP ISOs working just fine. Now i will invest in a 4GB Mem stick =]

 

And i will check out that Silent hill. Any other game suggestions?
