  • Halfway up the down
    • ]]>     My last post mentioned that I had managed to use Noobz‘ latest downgrader and my copy of GTA:LCS to get from the OR 2.8 version of the PSP firmware back down to the Homebrew friendly 1.50.

    Whilst trying to find something useful and interesting to do with my new old-skool style PSP I stumbled across the OE (Open Edition) custom versions of the OR firmware, released by a chap with the moniker Dark Alex.
    I’m now running his 3.10OE-a release which enables a number of cool things i’ve found and a number of cool things I *think* it can do :D .

    The actual upgrade process was simple, the hardest part was getting the right information and the right versions of the s/w. A lot of forum jumping and post trawling was involved, unfortunately most of the good information was buried amongst, people I assume are under the age of 15, writing “cud u pls hlp me make my PSP play copied games cuz i dont no how” – damn that kind of writing really is one of my biggest hates.. (Not to say that I am a Shakespearean literary genius.)

    Disclaimer – If you brick your PSP it’s not my fault, just enjoying having the best paper-weight in your office.

    Firstly, I couldn’t run the upgrade until my battery was fully charged – Even though it was connected to the PSU. Annoying.

    *Stops*

    Ok, I found the info that I was about to type up online already. This would have been helpful yesterday!!

    After downgrading to 1.50, follow the guide below.
    NB. I didn’t know about the motherboard limitation whereby later versions of PSP are hardcoded not to accept firmware lower than 2.0.. There is a link to a downgrader for this issue too but I did not need it.. (I have one of the earliest Jap import models :D )

    I wonder if it’s possible to run *nix on a PSP yet….

    • ]]>     Following this item on BBC news, I decided to go ahead and attempt this homebrew stuff.

    Every since I got my PSP, i’ve always kept the firmware up to date – for no other reason than I like having the latest and greatest. I don’t know why.

    So, after following the instructions HERE I’m back down from 3.x firmware to a 1.5.

    Now just need to work out what to do with it!!
