1.51+ Downgrader instructions

[Bex]

Want to downgrade your PSP?

If you want to downgrade your PSP, but not sure which downgrader to use, then this is the guide for you. No more searching for the tutorial either on how to downgrade.
Here I will link to all the downgraders available, so you can find the correct downgrader.


Look for your PSP version to find the downgrader you need.

*Upgrade to 3.03 and use this downgrader (You must have an unpatched version of GTA:LCS to run the 3.03 downgrader - if you don't have GTA:LCS, but have lumines, you can also use the 3.50 downgrader)

3.10-3.50
*Upgrade to 3.50 and use this downgrader (You must have either the US or Euro version of lumines to run the downgrader)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Any firmware version PSP
* This will work on any firmware version and will also unbrick your PSP. To do it though, you will need another homebrew enabled PSP. Use Pandora's battery to downgrade/unbrick
---------------------------------------------------------------------

You are now free to enjoy the world of homebrew. To play isos, you can use devhook, which emulates the Sony firmware. Or, you can upgrade to custom firmware, which, gives you all the advantages of 1.50, and the official Sony firmware, and more, such as the ability to run your own PSX games. If you would like to upgrade to custom firmware, please use this guide.

FAQs

Where can I download the 2.0/2.60/2.71 eboot?
You can download your eboots from this thread

How can I tell if I have a TA-082 motherboard?



How can I tell if I have the pre-patched version of GTA:LCS?
If you already have the game, you can tell by seeing what firmware update it includes. If it has the 2.0 update, then it is a pre-patched version.
If you are looking to buy it, but want to know before you do, take a look at this article here and it will explain how to tell the difference just from the case.

How can i downgrade from Custom Firmware back to 1.50?

Thank you .

Tis indeedy, it took me quite a while to find a couple of them, but found them
Which just emphasises the point more, some of the downgraders are hard to find, and we can't really have all of them stickied, so just link to all of them
