Psp Downgrading Possible Soon


If this downgrading thing works, I`m also gonna invest in a 1gig memstick... are 2 gig available?
 
2 gig are almost impossible to get a hold of but it wont be long before they produce more.

Experienced something very strange this weekend, I went to newcastle to see friends and family, knowing that its a great place for second hand and import games I immediately went on a PSP game hunt, just as I expected I found every US release for £30 each which was very pleasing.

However I thought that while I was there I might as well pick up a new memory stick. Dixons and every other electrical retailer = non in stock.

So I trundled along to GAME and Gamestation only to be told by the sales staff that they aren't allowed to sell memory sticks of any brand until thursday...what kind of bullshit is that? I tried arguing that sony do not have control over sandisk (which is GAME's primary choice by the way) and that they should be able to sell that whenever.

So if you live in the northeast and want a memory stick go online.

Anyhoo back to on topic, I hope this firmware reversal can be applied to 2.0 PSP's although I still love the Sony net browser I would like to use some homebrew apps now and again.
 
The block on sales it probably more due to their stock rather than Sony. It'd suck if they put out their sticks just to have them all purchased in one day, so they're probably hoarding until they have a certain amount.
 
According to various rumours and tittle tattle on the PSP sites its gonna be another 3 days yet. The Yoshi whatever dude has raised enough money in donations to buy a 1.52 euro PSP though so I guess he actually just wants to test it on that...

Re 2g yes they're available... mines sitting in a PO waiting to be collected ;)

in an insane implues buy i picked up a 1 gig stick today, ninety pounds, ouch!

loaded it up with virtua tennis, ape academy, coded arms and puyo pop, should do me just fine

amazing how much more exciting a system becomes when piracy becomesn an option
 
Hum, that video they released is a bit strange... it shows a 1.52 runing the downgrader app, but how is this achieved? Or maybe its just a 1.5 PSP with a version changer on it? Who knows?
 
When is the WAB team releasing this downgrader?

i have version 1.52.. it says on the site it will be able to downgrade the 1.5 and 2.0 versions with the new release, does that mean it will do all between like 1.51 and 1.52?

oh BTW to you people who dont know.. 1GB memsticks are cheap as chips on ebay, ive seen em going for 30-40 quid.
 
I just watched the video again. Firstly, when you upgrade the firmware I'm pretty sure it asks for your language again upon restart, and the PSP wouldn't remember to move the theme colour to the next month colour as this is stored in the firmware settings.

Also when he heads back to the system information screen as far as I can see despite the poor video quality it still says 1.52.

Either they've knocked up a semi convincing video to keep their email box free of 'when is it coming out/is it real messages' or its pure crap.

Update: the founder of WAB, Alone trio has just been arrested in paris, although no knows quite what for. Yoshiro is still ok..but something tells me Sony have something to do with this.
 
There isnt much Sony could have him locked up for unless they hid cocaine in his house and caled th cops on him. Talking about making a firmware hack isn't illegal the last time I looked.

Of course, if he was caught trading PSP game images.... :unsure:
 
whoah! he's arrested??!?! probably does have something to do with this...

As in file trading ....not trading Memsticks... that'd just be silly.

That wouldnt make much sense either, their just as easy to obtain elsewhere.. so why would he bother risking doing that?

He has been released again. And it seems like team WAB is pretty upset about all the rumors about the downgrader being a fake, and the arrest bein a plea for not releasing the downgrader. Moreover, they released a new video with better quality to prove that the downgrader is in a late development stage.
