YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! :w00t:

very nice....i'm sure a few of my mates would be delighted to hear this :D

WOO HOO!!!!!

i'm tempted to upgrade my PSP to official 3.5 just to downgrade it... XD

You shouldn't upgrade and downgrade, it might brick your psp. At least you can help out your mates.

Just out of curiousity, this "locked out" if you try to upgrade to official firmware after downgrading (assuming 1.5 and not OE)... what does it do when you run the update? brick the PSP or just refuse to upgrade your firmware? I'm aware of the OE firmware "DADADADADADA" Error, but what does the 3.30+ firmware updates do if it detects that you've messed with your PSP?

The flood gates are open, bring on the water...:biggrin:

I talked to Mathieulh about it.

So you'll just get the standard error message basically.

While some psps say hello to homebrew other will say goodbye.

i don't get this, kinda. it means i can't do this:

3.XX OE -> 1.5 -> 3.5(Locked)

or does it mean something else.

Yes! This Rules! I need to buy me a copy of Lumines so I can downgrade my brother's PSP and also my friends PSP for a price! heh j/k I will probably help them for free! :)

Yes now I can downgrade my 4 friends psp's....

This is great news but I'm getting another PSP just for running games that require 350 to play. My 340 OeA PSP is good enough for everything else. Besides, as of yet, I can't play my demo of Fireteam Bravo (Socom) on 340 OEA..

Yo man 3.50oe is coming out soon. Dont waste your money on another psp

say you were previously on OE, then went to firmware 3.30 - 3.50 official. if you downgrade, you won't be able to run official updates. meh doesn't really matter though, like I said Noobz is working on a tool to fix it.

3.30+ examines the keys before upgrading. If they aren't valid, it refuses to upgrade (it doesn't brick, it simply won't update). The way to update is to fix the keys first. Someone (with my help) has already documented how to do this (over on MC). It's basically this:

Update to 2.71 official.

Fix the keys.

Update to 3.30+.

It's that simple. Sort of. After you update to 2.71 official, you have to use the 2.71 HEN to run homebrew to fix the keys. If you've done the corruption-free downgrade, this means just fixing key 5. Otherwise, you use KeyCleaner to fix all the keys but 5, THEN fix key 5. If you've used MY method of setting key 5, you can use 1.5 Enabler to revert it. KeyCleaner will change other methods of patching key 5 into mine, so that's not much of an issue.

It's damn hard to find a copy of lumines now. Maybe if I check in a couple of weeks I may find one.

It will be even harder to find it then it is right now if you wait for a few weeks.

Just look around the stores and they have loads.

The problem is that around here the stores dont carry them anymore since they are an "old game" maybe I can find one at walmart or somethin.

yeah or look in the preowned section of game stores thats were i got mine

I tried that and all the preowned places sold out of that game in the first 20 min after the store opened. The word got around way too fast. :glare:

I guess im just lucky I live in Ireland where hardly anybody nows anything about this stuff

Well it happens, I'm sure there will be a flood of returns once people downgrade and want to return the game. But thanks for the help anyway 8)

I got mine at Gamestop yesterday for 12.99 US.

Well i'll see if i can sell you mine as soon as i finish downgrading my friends psps

Ok then, 350 OEA is worth waiting for I guess, so thanks for saving my $170 on another PSP.

Yeah man!!Don't waste your money on another psp!!Besides,it's just a stupid demo.

Any way,the 3.50 OE was canceled and the 3.51 OE was on it's way,it supports your demo.

So just wait...

Thanks, but the shipping costs would be too much for the both of us since It looks like over seas shipping. but thank you anyway.:biggrin:

Well guess I will be buying a new psp if I want to play God Of War..now that OE is no more..

You dont need to do that, you can always install devhooks when they come out and also there will be others who will pickup after DAX. :)
