PSP hacking

Post by turbolover »

Has anyone here downgraded their psp? I jsut got a 2.5 off ebay but im trying to find a way to downgrade it without prepatch gta lcs but it looks like it aint gonna happen. though my major question is why engineer a downgrade when you could just reverse engineer sony's signature that allows software to run? maybe im just stupid but it seems like that would make more sense. I thinkthe true reason sony doesnt embrace homebrew is because they make mroe moeny selling more psp's from people bricking theirs trying to downgrade! (stupid drunk speculation.. whatever)

I've downgraded and you must have GTA to do so.

And about cracking sony's signiture, not only would it take multiple computers running every scenerio possible for close to 2 years to decrypt, once done sony could just issue a firmware update and change it, negating everything that you have accomplished.

because there is no section for things that are already portable but seeing as it is part of the current generation of systems which this section is devoted to i figured it fit here more than anywhere else.

hey if any of you guys dont want your downgrade friendly copy of lcs I would be happy to just borrow it, i cant rent it anywhere and would hate to buy it (even if i could find the right version) just to use it for downgrading as i dont intend on playing it (gta is played out for me)
