3.50 Downgrader Tutorial
- Here are the steps to downgrade any 3.50 PSP to 1.50: Part 1 (Update to 3.50 and then setting up the downgrader) 3) Unzip and place the 3.50 eboot in <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE and make sure its called EBOOT.PBP 4) On the PSP, run the 3.50 update from the memory stick under the Game menu. 5) <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE 6) Copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT from the 3.50 downgrader ZIP to the memory stick 7) Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. Rename the EBOOT.PBP to UPDATE.PBP and copy it to <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ . DO NOT OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP! Part 2 (Enabling HEN) 8) Load Lumines and press x to start the game 9) The screen will clear to black and fill with a light blue colour, then the PSP will reset itself (If it does not light up with a blue colour, keep trying and eventually it will. This just means it couldnt write all the files required to flash) 10) Check that HEN is running by going to system settings, then to "System Information" and it should show up as system version 3.50 HEN Part 3 (Downgrading) 11) If it is showing up as HEN then go to the memory stick and run the x.yz update 12) If you have an unpatched TA-082 or higher motherboard, you will be prompted to allow the downgrader to patch your motherboard so it can be safely downgraded. The downgrader will not let you proceed without patching, if your motherboard requires it. 13) 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). 14) Once you have agreed to start the downgrade do not unplug the PSP, or try and restart it 15) Once finished the PSP will ask you to press X, and reset itself 16) If it comes up saying that the settings are corrupt, press x to continue, this will mean you will need to re-enter the settings for network connections into your PSP, otherwise go to step 18 17) Load the included NetConfigBackup application in your PSP, and select to restore, this will take the backup that was done of the network config that was done automatically during the downgrade. 18) All done now :-) Hopefully you now have a 1.50 PSP.
