Are you ready for homebrew? 3.03 HEN and Downgrader released!

Posted Jan 28, 2007 at 3:46PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits, Homebrew Applications Tags: Custom Firmware, downgrade, downgrader, Fanjita, Noobz

Fanjita may have told you guys what to do with a non-homebrew capable PSP, but now it appears that everyone can get in on the homebrew fun! The "goofy exploit" which exists in firmwares 2.00 to 3.03 was found on Friday, January 25, 2007, a date which you'd think might go down in the PSP homebrew history. But it probably won't because despite their seven-day ETA, the Noobz team has once again fortified its position at the top of the homebrew coding ladder with a 3.03 downgrader - just three days after the exploit was found!

Some call it magic, others call it an act of god, but whatever the reason for it, PSP gamers all across the world can now downgrade their consoles to the magic of homebrew-capable 1.5, and then if they wish to do so, upgrading to homebrew-capable custom firmware. All you need is a PSP running firmware 3.03 (if not then update to 3.03 using the update EBOOT found here) the downgrader files and the 1.50 EBOOT as well as an unpatched version of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Unpatched versions of Liberty City Stories contain the 2.0 update, whereas patched versions contain higher updates. If your copy of LCS has an update higher than 2.0 on it, then you will have to find an unpatched UMD to proceed. There's no need to worry if you have a TA-082 PSP as the downgrader will check your motherboard and patch it if necessary. Note the downgrader will not let you proceed without patching if your motherboard requires it.

Not only has Noobz released a 3.03 downgrader but they've also managed to release a 3.03 HEN (Homebrew Enabler) for the PSP. This means that those of you who aren't too sure that you want to downgrade can still play homebrew on 3.03. This does not flash your PSP, but by running HEN, it installs a patch in your PSP's memory, that allows you to run homebrew almost as if you had a v1.5 PSP. This patch remains in place until you fully turn off your PSP - it will survive the PSP being placed into sleep mode. You run the HEN application just as you do the downgrader using Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

To use this simply download the 3.03 HEN files from the download links below and copy them to your PSP. Then run your unpatched version of GTA:LCS and the patch will apply itself. It will be stored in RAM and will stay there until you reset your PSP. Putting the PSP in sleep mode will not remove the patch. This is based on the source for HEN 2.71 provided by Dark_Alex, so the Noobz team would like to thank him for the code and the help. Additional credits go to Booster, Team C + D for the registry kernel exploit and Mathieulh for the help provided to Dark_AleX.

PLEASE READ: This downgrader has been tested by the highly-successful Noobz team and has been proven to work, however there is a small chance that bricking could occur during the process of downgrading. QJ.Net and the Noobz team are not responsible for any damage which may happen to your PSP by this application. Can you also note before use that it is possible to brick using this downgrader if you downgrade and then update to 3.03 and then downgrade again. The advice from Fanjita right now is to only use this once. If you update to 3.03 again after using the downgrader then we suggest you leave it there to prevent your PSP from bricking.

Now we've got the boring bit over with, we can move onto the downgrade process itself. Here's QJ's "how to" for downgrading from 3.03 to 1.50:

1. Update to firmware 3.03. If already have this firmware then proceed to step 2.

2. Open the 3.03 downgrade file and copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT to the root of your memory stick.

3. Open the 1.5 update and rename the EBOOT.PBP to UPDATE.PBP then copy it to /PSP/GAME/UPDATE/
Make sure not to overwrite PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP

4. Load Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (unpatched)

5. It should get to loading save game, clear the screen, the screen should fill with a light blue color and then reset the PSP
(If this does not happen see below)

6. Check that HEN is running by going to system settings then System Information and it should show up as system version 303 HEN

7. If it is showing up as 3.03 HEN then go to the memory stick and run the x.yz update

8. Before the downgrader does anything to your PSP it will ask for you to agree to what it is doing
If you no longer want to continue press the Right Shoulder Button (R-TRIGGER).

9. Once you have agreed to start the downgrade do not unplug the PSP

10. Once finished the PSP will ask you to press X, after pressing it will reset it self.

11. If it comes up saying that the settings are corrupt press X to continue.

12. Enjoy your new shiny 1.5 PSP.

What do you do once you have firmware 1.5? Well, you can either start downloading homebrew games from our QuickJump Downloads site and use DevHook to run your current homebrew games or use the more popular which is to upgrade to Dark_Alex's 3.03 OE-C Custom firmware. The friendly people over at our forums have even created an easy-to-follow installation guide for 3.03 OE-C if you've never used custom firmware before. This will give you all the features of 3.03 and the ability to play homebrew and PSX games too! It doesn't get much better than this.

# Comment — Guest 2007-01-28 11:26

# Finally — Guest 2007-01-28 11:26

# Reply — Guest 2007-01-28 11:32

Wer aren\'t sure, but lets just say you can\'t. Fanjita bricked a PSP downgrading then upgrading then downgrading multiple times so don\'t try it. Be safe.

# yes! — Guest 2007-01-28 11:32

well done on the downgrader, great work by all involved (except the patch crew working for sony, jesus, they are gonna get a bollocking! :-)

# Brilliant! — Guest 2007-01-28 11:32

# Uh..? — Guest 2007-01-28 11:35

And what about the people that just got PSP's, got a PSP at a high firmware, or didn't know about the homebrew scene until they had upgraded for a while THEN a friend told them?

Seriously, and why is Socom done? What has homebrew got to do with Socom?

hahaha take that sony!

# I see — Guest 2007-01-28 11:42

Don't worry im on custom firmware, I was just curious. But, I did read that when downgrading remenants of 3.03 are still in the system.

# THX — Guest 2007-01-28 11:45

Wow, this is really awesome! Now all PSPs in the world are downgradeable

# great... — PSPZorZ 2007-01-28 11:47

My friend used to have 2.71, but downgraded and now has 3.03 OE-C... but he somehow managed to brick his 1.50 kernal, so no homebrew/recovery, he's basically stuck with 3.03 but with ISOs. He was waiting for a GTA downgrader so he can start up GTA and downgrade using his intact 3.03 kernal, and you guys are saying he can't use this to downgrade since he has downgraded before?!

# WOW, MOTHERFOOKERS! — Guest 2007-01-28 11:49

This is very un expecting, alas todays boring news, WHAM!!!! This piece of ***** comes out, I'm not meaning bad *****, but very very GOOD *****. Sorry DAX, you'll need to win us again to beat the noobz team at this. I can't wait to tell my friend this. HAHA!! Sony, this is just the beginning. Thanks you Noobz, first you help me use homebrew on my 2.80, then i downgrade and upgrade to 3.03 OE-C. This is an act of god. Thank you, even thou, i'm a part of the dark_alex firmware.

# Nice — Guest 2007-01-28 11:49

This should cut back on most people saying "i wish i didn't upgrade yesterday..."

# PSP Sales. — Guest 2007-01-28 11:49

I see the sale of psp's going up in the near future.

# ah. — Guest 2007-01-28 11:50

with the cwcheat, now everyone can hack the game.... but just remember, most people arent that smart though

# Finally — Guest 2007-01-28 12:01

Finally, no more 2.81. It finally happened. HOMEBREW HERE I COME!

# MMMM — Guest 2007-01-28 12:01

heres mine chance to downgrade now

becaues 1 had 2.6 and then 2.7 and then 2.71 and i was scare if it might brick my psp and now i have 2.81 and still wondering to downgrade right now any advice or sugest

# shoot... — Guest 2007-01-28 12:03

...ssoo i cant do this with a patched gta?....aaawwww...

# This isn't a good thing... — Guest 2007-01-28 12:03

Sony's never gonna sell another game again unless they find a way to stop this.

If its not the 3.03 downgrader, its the fact that they havent stopped custom firmwares from being released, updates dont need to be fully cracked to be made into a OE firmware

people like me are going to abuse this, im going to downgrade about 5-6 psps in the next month just because i want everyone to get in on the action, but i also know that now, thats going to be 5-6 more ppl who are going to use isos, trust me, i will inform them about it

this is bad for sony, and possibly the community, i say, Noobz needs to release a umd iso check pronto, to ensure that the iso dump matches the mac address of the psp its on, start taking responsibility

# ***** — edder2000 2007-01-28 12:07

i shouldnt of upgraded to 3.04

# ***** — edder2000 2007-01-28 12:09

i shouldnt of upgraded to 3.04

# it works — Guest 2007-01-28 12:11

I downgraded my secondary PSP. Worked like a charm. Don't hesitate to try this, follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

# not good for me...... — Guest 2007-01-28 12:12

i don't have any way of getting GTA unpatched version

# Psar Dumper.. — Guest 2007-01-28 12:15

do you have to use psar dumper thingy and perform this downgrade?

# :3 — Guest 2007-01-28 12:19

# Great news but!! — Guest 2007-01-28 12:38

What about ppl that need the gta liberty city stories file.. the unpatched version.

Is it even possible for someone to release it on qj.net.. if not then those would have to wait just longer for a gta lcs unpatched file.

Hey Dark-alex Get ready to make a new custom firmware when sony comes out with 3.04 or 4.0

# What IF? — Guest 2007-01-28 12:49

What if you use any other old game? Does it have to be GTA LCS?

# GTA LCS?? — Guest 2007-01-28 12:53

I hope it works with older games.. Such as if ppl that bought the entertainment pack psps that'll mean they get that atv game which could maybe be usefull for this 3.03fw downgrader.

You're a pirate, doesn't mean we all are.

Sadly though I agree, if people can pirate games they will.

Still, does everyone know about custom firmwares? I bet there's still 50% of the PSP market that has no idea...

# motherboards — Guest 2007-01-28 13:28

# Woot — Guest 2007-01-28 13:37

Awesome work fellas... but I'm particularly happy with the fact that you have now raised the market value for my 2 copies of the unpatched liberty city stories to about 60 bucks each :-)

# lol — Guest 2007-01-28 13:38

# Pirates — Guest 2007-01-28 13:39

I would think more like 70-75% either have no idea or dont know how (or dont care).

If people like the games enough - especially when you can get them used or for less than 30 bucks (which a lot of psp game are) - then people will always buy games. No worries.

# I, SIR, Am a Noob — Guest 2007-01-28 13:47

ok after i downgrade to 1.5 how do I get features of the later firmwares? DEVHOOK? Or a custom firmware? I have been looking at this site for months now but am confused.

# My mates gonna be happy — Guest 2007-01-28 13:47

1.50>2.60>2.71>1.50>3.03OE>3.03OE-B

I've been downgraded since 2.71 DG came out but i've been wanting to play multiplayer for a long time now with my mate who had updated to 2.81, then the other day he updated to 3.03 believing (on my dumb advice) that he could play ps1 games (we didn't know you had to activate em) so you can imagine my relief when this downgrader came out, you guys really are my heros!

# xyz update — Guest 2007-01-28 13:48

# its official. — Guest 2007-01-28 13:52

Most ppl cant find the 2.00 unpatched Liberty city stories version of the data or game.. meaning.. that this will be a long wait for me and others out there.. Time to wait even longer Perhaps when march comes around 3.04fw may hit.

And those who cant downgrade because of the lack of 2.00 unpatched Liberty city stories.. They may get the 3.04fw but thatll be kinda not a great idea unless 3.04fw had amazingly good addons etc.. that sony releases.

# is it me or a bug — Guest 2007-01-28 13:55

just downgraded my TA-082 psp all went well then upgraded to 303 C all went well put some brew on and a couple of games all went well except if the psp is not used for a minute or two it shuts down and you have to reboot any ideas please.

# I almost feel bad for you people without the unpatched disk — Guest 2007-01-28 13:56

Do i have to have Liberty City Stories?

# Yup — Guest 2007-01-28 14:12

You have to have the Un-Patched version ofthe game.

Get it used and tell them that you have to check the version that it comes with.

2.00 + unpatched

2.60 + patched

# Probably. — Guest 2007-01-28 14:13

I think you may have to have liberty city stories.. so far its the only game confirmed.

I was going to try it using the mgs po umd since its 2.81fw.

But maybe its only for any psp game that haves the Umd unpatched 2.00fw data or whatever.

# yes — Guest 2007-01-28 14:13

what can i do?

go to recovery mode and change 3.03 kernal to 1.50 kernal and your homebrew should work

This doesn't affect me directly, but this is great! Every single psp in the world is downgrade-able!!! YEAHHH! It's a shame that this is one big circle, though. New firmwares will come out and start being on new PSPs and downgraders will continue to have to be made. Ah well, this is great work noobz team! The whole world thanks you.

hey i was wondering about that part saying "Can you also note before use that it is possible to brick using this downgrader if you downgrade and then update to 3.03 and then downgrade again." I have had a 2.71 then downgraded to 1.50 then upgraded to 3.00 then to 3.03... will i be able to downgrade or is it talking about u go from like 3.03 to 1.50 then up to 3.03 then going back down to 1.50?

"Step 6: Copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT from the 3.03 downgrader ZIP to the memory stick.

Step 10: Check that HEN is running by going to system settings, then to "System Information" and it should show up as system version 303 HEN"

# pito pa ti — Guest 2007-01-28 15:05

yes it will

# Reason — Guest 2007-01-28 15:10

I read this somewhere a short while ago.

After the psp is flashed back to 1.5, it still has remnants of things from 3.03.

This causes problems when trying to downgrade more than once.(not that a need to downgrade multiple times is needed)

# NICE!!! — Guest 2007-01-28 15:12

but i have a TA psp and its 2.71 and the HEND does not work for me so i want to no do i have to run the HEN to downgrade? and if i do is this one stable?

# lol — Guest 2007-01-28 15:14

# I dont get it? — Guest 2007-01-28 15:15

I dont get why u people want to end sony when they came up with the psp and ur playing with it? Kind of hypocrit if u ask me.

# ... — Guest 2007-01-28 15:20

everyone here is celebrating they can go back to 1.5 but is it true everyone has a unpatched gta liberty city umd to do it? i doubt everyone has it, ebay prices for this game has gone up. all we need now is a downgrader without the use of the gta exploit and wham! everyone will really be rejoicing!!!

# ? — Guest 2007-01-28 15:21

Anybody know what that extra stuff does that was included with the downgrader?

Like the Cube Sample, lplDumper, Kernel Dumper Sample, NandDumper, Polyphonic Sample, and System Parem?

Is that files for the downgrader to work or is it samples for us to try out? I tried loading that cube sample thinking maybe it was some sort of homebrew showing off a 3d cube or whatever but it didnt open.

# good question — Guest 2007-01-28 15:21

most ppl downgrade to enjoy homebrew but many ppl abuse this and use isos thus makin sony angry if sony mad a firmware that allowed u to run homebrew (not iso csos etc) we woodnt dg

# Yeah.. — Guest 2007-01-28 15:22

People that says "Sony is doom" and etc. while they play their psps are just hypocrites. It kind of pisses me off of how low we come to be towards Sony. I respect the homebrew community, but I also respect Sony.

# OH NO!!!!! — Guest 2007-01-28 15:26

# No good — Guest 2007-01-28 15:27

This is actually bad for all the ppl who had a homebrew psp already b/c now more ppl will be playin illegal ISOs/Eboots (meaning good games wont be getting the financial support they used to) and now tons of newbs are gonna start flooding the forums with questions that were answered a million times already.

# ?? — Guest 2007-01-28 15:28

after you use the liberty cities game once to downgrade do u hav to use it ever again cuz i hav to borrow one??

# . — Guest 2007-01-28 15:29

I would back sony and do all there official updates, but the custom firmwares offer way more than sony's updates. (No not ISO's that I'm talking about) I mean like support for video formats and resolutions and things like that.

# AHHH! — Guest 2007-01-28 15:30

He's right. This is a day of mourning for psp owners who already had homebrew compatible psp's. Now tons of newbs are gonna ask stupid questions and cheat in games. Not to mention that now no one will buy games and all the good upcoming games will be cancelled.

# ^He's right — Guest 2007-01-28 15:33

# you're retarted — jkoz 2007-01-28 16:18

the actual percentage of homebrew/iso loaders is miniscule compared to the number of psp-ers. visiting a site like this is nt a good way to judge at all.... they are NOT canceling any games. you're stupid.

kinda upset at the fact my psp seems to be bricked and before you start im not 1 of them immature idiots that comes on here to type swear words and basically piss everybody of im actually concerned that its bricked ok heres what happened i downloaded the files 4 the noobz 3.03 homebrew enabler and stored them on the root like it said then i booted up my unpatched version of gta it was all going good got to the bit just before the loading bar where it checks your memory card 4 saved files and then a black screen and nothing so i waited for about half an hour with a black screen and no orange loading light on the memory card so i decided to turn it off and try again i turned it off then back on got a quick flash from the mem light and nothing no sound no picture only thing it does now is turn on and off im honestly at a loss here can anybody please tell me whats going on cos i have no idea thank you

# Simple — Guest 2007-01-28 17:54

IceSamurai, I think I recognize you from PSPLive. It's easy, just update to 3.03. If you dont know how to update that's just sad seeing as the first thing you see on your psp menu is 'network update'. Then downgrade with this downgrader.

# LMAO!! — Guest 2007-01-28 17:56

# technically noob — Guest 2007-01-28 17:59

If you did everything right and got it to brick... You probably had bunch of useless files on the MS stick... which conflicted with the HEN/downgrader which caused it to brick...

You can only cry now... or wait for someone to release a unbricker, which will probably never happen ;)

# YES — Guest 2007-01-28 17:59

This is great news, good work team noobz!

Now everyone can finaly have access to Homebrew at its finest.

# Probably... — Guest 2007-01-28 18:06

Oh, that bites man. You probably didn't know that a lot of people have reported that the backlight just truns off when downgrading. All you would have had to do was turn the light back on. But, unfortunately you turned off your PSP therefore bricking it. You have my sympathies and I'm really sorry that happened to you.

# ... — Guest 2007-01-28 18:07

I think they might get quite many units sold now that all of them are homebrewable, but the games as I assume you are refering to probably will go down a bit, but people with brains will buy the game if it's worth it (I admit having downloaded both Medievil and Tony hawks underground 2 myself but they both suck so I deleted them and did not WASTE money and more time on them)

# Awesome downgrade, but now i need help — Guest 2007-01-28 18:23

Thank you Only problem is...after everything I took the files from my memory card and cut them out of the /psp/game/ folder and copied them to my computer for later use, then I put the GTA disk back in and now my psp turns on, but its a glowing black screen. Did I brick it? I can hear the umd spinning, but just the glowing black screen and I can't turn it off without taking out the battery. Oh, and I'm' a nOOb, but I did get everything to work for a couple hours. HELP, Please

# hmmm cant redowngrade — death69 2007-01-28 18:34

does that mean

if I upgrade my causins 2.82 to 3.03 then downgrade

if so that trubles me since every other ver seems you must do a full install

# @ Jkoz — Guest 2007-01-28 18:54

i think you'r right i know only one person that uses homebrew and isos and i know one that uses homebrew and about 6 that only use original games so if 1:4 uses iso what is many people then they sell still as enough.

It also states in Recovery mode under "Configuration/Game folder homebrew (currently:3.03 Kernel)". Hope this helps. Will it do me any good to place the files back on the memory card to fix this error?

hi, i have been a heavy psp user/hacker since about july 06. Until now i havent had to use any of the GTA exploits but have used Boosters' Devhook (credit). I'm one of those ppl who tell my friends with psp's that u can play nintendo games and old sega game on it aswell which gets their attention immediately, anyway, i was wondering if anyone is working on a way to get around the new GTA expoit with a more convention method such as the previous downdgrader releases of Dark_Alex (credit also). I happen to have possension of my friends psp at the moment and 'by magic or an act of god' he had the 2.00 ver of GTA, which he let me swap my 2.6 ver with him. I also want to know if the new GTA related 3.03 expoit is as stable as say the 2.71downgrader? Cheers to every1 at qj.net, your doing a really great job. Keep up the updates.

I'm going to run the 3.03oec update file that I have...when my battery is over 75%, like it's telling me and not allowing me until it is. Sound advice. THANK YOU! I'm choosing this file because of the downgrading to 1.5 warning that is stated. If this doesn't work I'll just put the standard 3.03 in.

# IT WORKED I'M UP AND RUNNING AGAIN 3.03OE-C — Guest 2007-01-28 19:53

AWESOME!!!! I put the DATA.DXAR file in there too, just to be safe and it worked and used the .dxar file, it reflashed and I'm back. I really hope this helps anyone it the future if they encounter this! Can't say enough THANX ~AKSHAY

# get a clue — Aces In The Palm 2007-01-28 19:55

instead of asking "where do i find unpatched gta:lcs"

do the obvious thing and use the search utility in ebay or even google it.

finding stuff on the internet isnt that hard.

watch.

see how that works!!!

# go custom — Aces In The Palm 2007-01-28 20:17

your best bet is to go 3.03OE-C

devhook is a bit yesterday now thanks to dark_alex

and to those without big memsticks theres a USB mount plugin as well

# DAMN — Guest 2007-01-28 20:17

Wooooot this and offcourse the custom firmware are showing that SONY cant break the homebrew scene.

# PLEASE ANSWER!! — Guest 2007-01-28 20:44

Look, I'm a n00b at all of this and im like full on worried about bricking and instead of giving me smart-ass coments and so on just tell me if anyone has tried this on an Australian PSP. Cause see i would kill to be able to play FFVII and Ehrgiez on my PSP but cant unless i downgrade, but i am to afraid of bricking. like i want to take the risk but its a bit to risky. Any ideas?

is it just me or was socom 2 i guess ISO listed in the games>memcard menu of the person who downgraded in the video on this post, i dont understand how it could be there if it was just a plain 3.03 fw.

anyways, not tryin to put anyone off using this, i am sure it works, has anyone ever heard of something being released by Noobz and not working??

Thanks for this great release Noobz Team :)

# Same Here — Guest 2007-01-28 22:21

# question — Guest 2007-01-28 23:32

when you are using the liberty city game to downgrade will the liberty city stories still work ?

# playing lcs after — Guest 2007-01-29 00:02

Once you downgrade to 1.5 you need to upgrade to 3.03 OE. From there, you can run liberty city stories just fine because you're running the 3.03 firmware.

# yeah — Guest 2007-01-29 00:03

# It's down to the individual — Fanjita 2007-01-29 01:34

If you're worried about software sales, just make sure you buy your games.

Just because piracy is possible, doesn't make it mandatory. The responsibility lies with the individual to use their homebrew capability wisely. If you steal, you're a thief. No-one else made that decision for you.

# No GTA:LCS? — Fanjita 2007-01-29 01:42

i downgraded my 2.5 psp and 3 other 2.6 psps ages ago. i am glad there is a downgrader for 3.03 because my m8 used to update at every chance he got but now ive convinced him and another m8 with a 2.80 psp 2 downgrade

# works — Guest 2007-01-29 03:10

well, my PSP firmware history:

2.00 -> 2.71 -> 2.80 -> 2.81 -> 2.82 -> 3.00 -> 3.03 -> 1.50 (thanks to the incredible fanjita and the noobz team) -> 3.03 OE-C

realy nice downgrader, but I were realy nervous in step 10 for downgrading, tough it all turned out well

dunno what else to say, other than thank you, we need ppl like you in the homebrew scene :)

# I can... I can!!!!!!!!!! — Guest 2007-01-29 03:17

So.... Last christmas i got an psp... As i started to play i didnt know what homebrew was so i updated and all that stuff! 2 months later i had high firmware and i looked on the internet for games to the psp.... (illegall) I found and i started to do what the help description said. I need fw 1.5.... Now when i looked at this page... I was so F*CKING HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! !! Now and my sis can play all our favourite games!!!! Ty so much Noobz! Ty! You are my gods! :)

# My PSP firware history — Guest 2007-01-29 03:50

1.00 > 2.01 > 2.50 > 2.60 > 1.50 > 2.71 > 1.50 > 2.71SE > 2.71SE-C > (got bored of homebrew) > 3.03 > 1.50 > 3.03-C

Thank to the NOOBZ

# Noobz rule!!!! — Guest 2007-01-29 03:57

I had homebrew before christmas, but my mum updated my psp (and nearly bricked it) so I thought it was gone forever. Now I have it back!!!

# Woot! — Guest 2007-01-29 03:57

Finally, all those noobs who actually upgraded (me excluded) can get good ol' fashined homebrew on thier psp's.

# Well... this is a blessing for some... — Guest 2007-01-29 04:01

And until Sony makes you upgrade to 3.04+ just to play an online match of any Infrastructure psp games - there will be plenty of people happy.

In many ways it is a sad thing for the psp. I'm sure that the illegal playing of ISOs has hurt the psp's sales. Perhaps why the DS sells more games by far (not the only factor, of course).

Well... Here is to the advancement of homebrew, the demise of the PSP, and the aparent never-ending effort of people who think they can get something for free.

# Should i ? — Guest 2007-01-29 04:11

Im a noob who really doesnt want to get bricked should i do this im real nervous .........

# game industry should drop prices to avoid piracy — Guest 2007-01-29 04:13

^^^^ says it all ^_^

# why? — Fanjita 2007-01-29 04:59

Because they cost more to produce than songs, and have less of a consumer base than movies.

So they have to be more expensive for the companies making them to break even.

I still can't find that game!

But seriously though,

The Noobz , Dark-AleX and every other homebrew dev deserve a very very big ... thank you.

Once I do find that damned game (or borrow one if I can't find it OR has a 2.6 update on it.)I'm going to downgrade it , then upgrade to 3.03OE, and download one of the programs i've really wanted to download for a long time: The Universal Remote(So Cool!!!)

# my suggestion — Guest 2007-01-29 06:37

See what happened to me above, but after i fixed it I deleted the files out of PSP/SAVEDATA. This is where the exploit would start from when loading the game. There may be other ways, but this is what worked for me and I could play the game too. I wish that would have been written somewhere in the instuctions, of what I can delete after.

# brick? — Guest 2007-01-29 06:51

Well, if you do everything right, you should be just fine. Just don't do anything stupid like turning the PSP off when downgrading, taking out the battery, or unplugging the AC adapter.

# HOW? — Guest 2007-01-29 12:16

WHERE DO I PUT THE HEN_303 FOLDER?

# ... LOL — Guest 2007-01-29 12:28

Thats an impossible question to ask... so many out there. Definately get iR Shell though. It adds many features to the psp like a file browser and can launch many file types. It also can be used to act as a universal remote.

Other nice homebrews are NesterJ (NES emulator), PortableVNC(har d to set up without a guide, but you can contol your PC though your PSP), Noiz2sa, Trigonometry Wars, X-Flash(firmware customizer, be careful with this one, could brick), Devhook .51 with CWcheat... I guess thats all I can think of now. I have 95 homebrew games and apps, 1 iso(I own the game), 4 devhook firmwares, a video(Word Dissassociation ), hundreds of ROMs, and 1 ps1 eboot(Crash 2) on my 4gb right now... and still have 1300mb left! :)

# Comon — Guest 2007-01-29 12:37

# need help! pleaze — Guest 2007-01-29 13:28

i was wondering if ne body can help me downgrade my psp...i followed the instructions on the read me text file but everytime i load GTA LCS the game just starts right up and plays...i just copied the ms_root file from the download and pasted it inside the mp_root file on my memory stick...Did i do that part right? im really getting frustrated please help!

# Im kinda Pissed — Guest 2007-01-29 13:31

First of all, good job on the DG but I will pass.

With everyone downgrading and using isos and not supporting the new content coming out, we are killing the psp and the games that will come. As of now, the Ds is winning and with everyone going back to old firmware, why should developers even try anymore. I know you guys all dont care and wont probably read this, but, take a moment and think about what you are doing.

Class dismissed lol.

# i need help with the downgrade process — Medizzn Man 2007-01-29 13:42

im tryn to downgrade my psp...i followed all the intructions provided to me to the tee...but everytime i load GTA LCS the game just comes right on without trying to reset anything!....i know its the right version because it has the update for 2.0 on it....i copied the entire MS_ROOT file strait from the download and pasted it in my MP_ROOT file on my media stick...could that be the problem?...i then changed the name of the EBOOT.PBP file i downloaded to UPDATE.PBP and placed it in the same folder which contains the PSP 3.03 firmware (side by side)....then i inserted the GTA disc and i got nothing....what am i doing wrong?...pleaze help!

# is comming!!! — Guest 2007-01-29 13:43

Holding your psp in your right hand, just fart under the sheets of your bed while covering your entire body, and then the downgrader should work.

If not, repeat the procedure.

If it's still not working, you've got the wrong GTA, because it has the upgrade for a firm higher than 2.00.

# Thanks you from the depth of our hearts — Guest 2007-01-29 13:44

Format Your Memorystick on the PSP System Settings>format memory stick

(make sure youve backed up all your files before doing this) now double click MS_ROOT hit Ctrl-A so everything is selected now copy paste those into the PSP Folder on your memorystick it will ask you for an overwrite hit yes to all now put in gta and load it up

If anybody wants GTA: Liberty City Stories Unpatched shoot me an email at sotto1@gmail.com I want to sell it at a reasonably cheap price so only serious offers only. The catch is you must have paypal with a confirmed address and pay with your bank account so I don't get charged the credit processing fee. Again, please only serious offers who meet the requirements.

# homebrew/iso for life — Guest 2007-01-30 04:36

They mke games too expensive, they can alteast offer free games like homebrew, homebrewis great sire sony dont make any money, but they dont put any into it either, this helps sine it makes people want the PSP even more.

Since they try to stop homebrew and over price, I want them to lose moeny!
