PSP 2.71 downgrader surfaces

1 September 2006 19:32 by James "Dela" Delahunty | 174 comments

Once again, through the excellent (and voluntary) work of PSP coders (Dark_Alex & Mathieulh), another PSP firmware downgrader has been released. This time, the v2.71 firmware can be downgraded to the homebrew-friendly v1.50. It utilises a recently exploited vulnerability in the tiff library to launch the "downdater".

Some weeks back, a downdater was released for both the 2.50 and 2.60 firmware versions. This new downgrader for 2.71 is basically a port of that downdater but a copy of (unpatched) Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is not needed like before (that particular hole was closed after 2.60). Like the 2.50/2.60 downdater, you should NOT try this if your PSP has a TA-082 motherboard.

To downgrade, not only will you need your 2.71 PSP, you will also need to find somebody with 1.50. This is simply because you need them to run homebrew that will dump their flash and some files form the actual 1.50 eboot update file. You wont find these files on PSP sites as it is illegal to distribute them. The files will be dumped to the Memory Stick (DOWNDATER folder appears in root).

Once a v2.71 user has these files downgrading is now possible. Of course, don't expect the friendly Sony update screen this time. What you will get instead is a fully red screen while files are being taken from the Memory Stick.

mannyman whats the deal? Triple posting isnt cool....especially when the posts are two minutes apart.....thats why there is an edit button! sig requests taken at http://www.xtreme-source.com [ + quote]

@svtstang If you look back a page theres a 8 post one, 5 of which are only a few words. Where are the Mods when you need them? @mannyman how can you possibly claim to own every single PS2 out? You couldnt get every game on one 800gb HDD. And as for having a bluray burner in an XBOX, wtf thats a pile of crap, yea sure it would load standard DVD's and games but would never be able to load BD movies with it.

Guys, you have my mouth watering thinking of all those emulators on my psp but the fact is I'm a noob at the psp so I'll have to get a few things clear before I start downgrading my version 2.01. So first, I'll find a site that has 2.71 firmware, is this right? Then use the "downgrader 2.71 .exe full" that I downloaded and saved on my pc. Then what? I'm reading stuff about needing version 1.5 files? Is this true? or will the "downgrader 2.71 .exe full" do the job for me? Thanks in advance Sandisk [ + quote]

The funny thing is, i'm pretty sure both of then were junior members at the start of this thread. I know one of them definitely was.

may be soon because they already have tetris and snake for 2.80 without downgrading using tiff exploit i think they might wait untill the next fw though to work with that one although 2.80 shouldnt be that much harder than 2.71... 7 PS2 2 Broken 4 MODDED 3 Not All EXPLOITED 1 MOdded Slim line Hdd in all Hd loader patch in all exept slimeline 800 GB HDD IN ALL Every Game ever on all Ps2's NOBOdy Can Touch my arsenal of games Xbox 6 Modded 1 Smashed(LOL) ALL 800 gb hdd One has blu ray burner doesnt woork very well though Almost everygame ever made 4 Gamecubes All modded [ + quote]
