First PSP firmware tricker to go back to 1.0 and up to 2.0 released

I just saw on PSPHacks that the first PSP firmware hack that lets you go back to 1.0 from 1.5 has been released.

I tried it out and, lo and behold, my 1.5 PSP can be tricked into thinking it's a 1.0, 1.51, 1.52 or 2.0. (The very first version of the app, which I'd installed a few days ago, could only trick the PSP into 1.51 and 1.52.) This is a definite victory for the homebrew crowd and will probably mean that Phillip Torrone will start buying PSP games again :)

I wish I had more time at the moment to play with my new toy and hack out some examples in Lua or something (Flash would be so amazing on this thing -- that screen, my goodness what a screen) but I just found myself in the middle of setting up and leading a new Flex/CF team on a (really neat) project with quite a pressing deadline. Still, what's the half-hour after midnight for, if not for hacking a little PSP and perhaps playing a round of Ridge Racer?

Sleep, you say? Bah humbug! I'll sleep when my pixels are dead... :)

  1. Hi! I have a psp and when I was downloaded the version 2.71 on my computer. Then I downloaded it on my psp, when I turned on the psp and started to upgrade and it turned off. I had followed all the direction give but I don’t know why it turned off?



  2. the genius

    anthony you morron. you probably cliked the off switch! there is no way the psp could have shut off like that. and belive, it has happened to me too; i’m playing this great game and out of no where the damn thing turns off. turns out that my palm was hitting the off button, and it went OFF!!!!

    Hi Ruben,

    I’m not exactly sure where you can piratry your PSP but you could try the Piratry store on Dumphuck Street.

    Oh yes, and I believe that your caps lock key is stuck — you may want to have that looked at before it gets any worse.

    yes…but the problem it´s…
    i´m portuguese and i live in portugal…lol

    OK, so my answer could have been nicer but, unless I’m mistaken, you’re asking where you can pirate PSP stuff. This blog is not the place for anything related to pirating games, etc.
