    You need to upgrade to 2.71FW which you can get from here

    Then downgrade to 1.5 by going here

    Then follow this thread if you want to be able to play games without using a launcher and there's no need for a UMD either.

    Is there a reason for upgrading to 2.71fw before downgrading to 1.5?
    As that site describes ways of going from 2.00 to 1.5.... Is there a benefit from doing the upgrade first?

    Well morphias hasn't come back to say if he's bricked it or if it was a success, maybe he'll let us know.

    The benefit to upgrading to 2.71 is that the easy downgrader makes it.....well.....easy to downgrade.

    So... Am i right in thinking that when you connect the psp to the pc, it is just like connecting a USB stick? Ie, no software needed, all files can be transferred by windows explorer?

    The only 2.71 updates on the recomended site are for US or Jap psp's. Will these serve the purpose or will they not work on a UK m/c?

    Got impatient and did it anyway. Now have working V1.50.
    Dead easy as promised. Downloaded a couple of homebrew games and am well impressed so far.
    Cheers.

    Which 2.71 update did you use Gazzr, just for clarification for others - US or Jap.

    (I'd guess US)

    Hmm, OK what am I doing wrong.

    Created an UPDATE folder under PSP and dropped the eboot file in there.

    Should it then show up on the menu under games/memory stick to do the update?

    It's a ceramic white 2.6 btw (not a TA0-82).

    Doing this for a mate whereas mine was always a 1.5 and then went to 2.71SE...

    Cheers

    Yeah as guessed, used US firmware and it worked a treat. I see now why the 2.71 downgrader was recomended. Was a doddle. Only point that confused me was when it said - "now disconnect USB and let's downgrade...!"
    I thought, how the fook is it gonna downgrade when i've disconnected it...?
    Did it anyway and then found it just talked me thru which buttons to press on PSP. Stumped me for a moment tho.
