Why downgrade your Sony PSP firmware?

You know the first thing that I did was get the upgrade for my PSP when I could. I mean, really, who doesn't want to have the latest and the best upgrade on their gear right? Well, unfortunately getting the upgrade is not such a hot idea after all. As I found out all to quickly it might be just the thing to ruin your PSP.
When I got my PSP upgraded I found that I could no longer play all of the old games that I loved so much. It turned out that the PSP would no longer play then anymore which caused me all kinds of heartache. The same was true about the movies that I loved so much, it was terrible!
What you need to do is what I should have done, read about upgrading and what it will do to your collection. And if you are one of the many people, (I know you are out there! I can't be the only one) like me, who got the upgrade without finding out the details first, then you may want to look into PSP downgrading. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't downgrade! I would have lost all of my old PSP material and programs and it would have been terrible. I was lucky that I found out about downgrading when I did, that is for sure.
I am not trying to say that all upgrades are bad, it is all a matter of personal preference really. You may not care about the older things that you have, you may be much more interested in the newer versions and newer movies and games, it is all up to you. It is just nice to know that there is an option like PSP downgrading so those of us who are not yet ready to throw in the towel on our old mode of PSP play.
There are some easy ways for you to go about PSP downgrading. In just a few simple steps you can have your PSP back to its normal working condition and ready for any of your favorite games or movies. I have known people who actually threw their PSP away because they could not figure out how to get it working again, never fear though, this is not necessary. Now you can learn about PSP downgrading online and you can get it done whenever you need to.
So if you have put your PSP away with no hope of salvaging it go and fine it now and start looking into PSP downgrading. It saved me and my little buddy and it will do the same for you. Think of your PSP as delicate flower that needs to be taken care of and maintained. Just kidding!
All you have to do to keep your PSP in functioning order is to be careful and wary of upgrading and make sure that you know just how to go about PSP downgrading. If you know how to fix problems if they occur it will not be so scary when you try to make a change. Sounds simple right? That is because it is. So get online and do your homework now and learn all there is to know about how easy PSP downgrading really is. You will be glad that you did.

How to Downgrade Sony PSP firmware from 2.00 to 1.50
By: Sony PSP Fan
Hi,
Today, I will give you step-by-step to downgrade your Sony PSP firmware from 2.00 to 1.50. Before starting, you must have 2 files downloaded from internet. They are MPHDowngrader.zip and E_BOOT1.5.zip. (You can see link at the end for downloading.)
Let's see the step in detail
1. Unzip the files MPHDowngrader.zip and EBOOT_1.50.zip.
2. Connect your PSP to your PC via USB connection.
3. Open up Window Explorer and go to Removable disk which is your Sony PSP
4. When you open Removable disk, you should be at Root directory of your Memory Stick. Then, you copy Index.dat and h.bin to your Sony PSP's root directory.
5. Go to PSP\PHOTO folder (for example G:\PSP\PHOTO\) and copy overflow.tif to your Photo directory.
6. Then, go to PSP\GAME and check whether folder UPDATE exists or not. If folder UPDATE does not exist, you must create this folder under PSP\GAME. Then, you will get G:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE.
7. Copy file EBOOT.PBP into PSP\GAME\UPDATE folder.
8. Let's check again that you have those files in the specified folders.
9. Next, disconnect your USB connection and plug AC adapter to your Sony PSP to make sure that your Sony PSP will have enough power during downgrading firmware.
10. On your Sony PSP, navigate to PSP\PHOTO folder and scroll to overflow.tif. You do NOT have to do anything. Everything will start automatically. Now, you will see strange texts display on your screen. Don't worry, everything is fine. This will take about 30 seconds. Then, restart your Sony PSP. Hold the power button up as long as it takes to fully shut down your Sony PSP, it will take much longer than usual.
11. When your Sony PSP becomes available again, then on PSP menu go to GAME icon and scroll down to memory stick. Select it and you should see the 1.5 update. During updating process, do NOT interrupt it in anyway.
12. The update process should not take very long time to wait. When the process complete, you will see the error at 99% completion. Don't panic, this is normal. Let's restart your Sony PSP again by pressing Power until it completely shutdown.
13. Now, turn your Sony PSP back on. You will see another error. Just press the "O" button and it will restart after rebuilding the system data. Then just set it up as you did when you first got your PSP and you have a brand new firmware 1.5 Sony PSP. Be responsible with it. Once complete, you can remove the downgrader related files from the memorystick.
Above are the complete steps to downgrade Sony PSP firmware from 2.00 to 1.50. Please read and understand the step clearly before making any progress. Enjoy your Sony PSP firmware 1.50.
