PSP Downgrading - How to Downgrade PSP Firmware
78PSP Downgrading Made Easy
Most people need a PSP downgrade because they can't play all the games they have. Compatibility issues, unnecessary security limits, all designed to make your life harder as a PSP user.
Downgrading your PSP firmware is the best option to have maximum compatibility for all types of games and movies you download.
A PSP downgrade is very easy if you know what you are doing.
A word of warning: Many free PSP downgrade guides out there on the net refer to the Asian version of the PSP. I refer to the version sold in the US and Western Europe. If you do a PSP downgrade wrong you not only lose your warranty but you may damage your PSP.
When you get a new game and want to start it often it will 'ask' you to upgrade to the latest firmware version - otherwise you cannot start the game. Now ain't that great customer care? They literally force you to upgrade to the latest PSP firmware to get so called 'security updates'. What they don't tell you is that these new versions will severely limit your options of what to do with your PSP. When they say 'security' they means theirs - not yours.
Older versions didn't have most of these f***** protection features that the current PSP firmware versions have. This is why older firware versions give your a greater flexibility. So what you will basically do is tune your PSP just like you would do with a sports car whose engine was crippled by politically correct engineers.
Since I got my first PSP I have done several PSP downgrades. There are many ways to 'pimp your PSP' but the safest way is showm in these
I don't care what they say in certain forums - this is the way I have done it and it works!
I have tested it with PSP firmware versions 2.8x, 3.03 and 3.50.
Any versions inbetween these will also do.
What People Have Asked Me About Downgrading Their PSP
Will I be able to upgrade again?
Yes, you will. Any downgrade can be undone by simply reverting back kto the original version in the PSP system setup menu (hard wired into any PSP) or by installing one of the updates you have installed from UMDs you got.
Will my Saves Games Still Work?
Yes, saved games have nothing to do with the firmware version. You won't see any effect on saved games.
Will my movies still play smoothly.
Yes, the system software does not effect the software that plays videos and music.
Is downgrading legal?
Clome On! Yes, you own your PSP. You can do with it whatever you want. Neither Sony nor Bill Gates or Paris Hilton can tell you what software you should run your PSP with.
How long does it take?
I usually do it in 8 minutes. Figure 10-15 minutes for the PSP downgrade process - not more.
Should I recharge the PSP before the downgrade?
Yes, at least make sure it isn't so low on battery that it will die in the middle of the downgrade procedure.
How does downgrading affect the value of my PSP when I resell it?
Smart question: The resell value of your PSP will INCREASE - usually by $20 -$50. Check the prices of downgraded PSPs on ebay. People pay more for them because they know they can play much more games and videos on downgraded PSPs. (Just like on PS2s with Mod Chip) Just for some reason people are afraid of downgrading so they rather pay more for it that do it themselves. Poor guys!
How is this? You can even buy used PSPs on eBay, downgrade them and resell them for $50 more. Just an idea. The market is there. With the PSP Downgrade Guide your should be able to downgrade 4-5 PSPs per hour!
Where did you get your first PSP?
I had to import it from Hong Kong at that time because it wasn't even released over here.
Any ideas where to download games after downgrading my firmware?
Go to PSPBlender, they got tons of files available.

Hi ppl I hav a 3.71 firmware but I dont kow how to downgrade it. Is there a way to do that? please.... help me I am stuck with this
my email is:georgepelos@hotmail.com
do a google for all the words-
psp pandora battery
-this is the ultimate downgrader solution, as far as i know, it is the only solution for those above 3.50, those at 3.50 or earlier can do their downgrades without this method, but most solutions require the owning of lumines, or slightly earlier, GTA liberty cities, one specific firmware(i dont remember which) can downgrade without buying a new game
if you have a 3.50 or earlier psp, search-
noobz psp
-that should find most of your answers if you look hard enough
NO as of now there is no downgrade method for firmware above 3.52....sorry guys. There is a somwat good chance that there will be one in the not too distant future...but thats no garentee. My advice to everyone that wants to downgrade is to STOP upgrading!!

The downgrader for firmware 3.52 is not going to come out
i've been waiting for some time now but Sony have already released the slimline psp that runs off a firmware higher than 3.52 (somewhere bouts 3.81?) so hackers, unfortunently cant be bothered to help us paly free games?
The only way to downgrade from 3.52 to 1.5 is PANDORA'S BATTERY but I have yet to use this as it seems quite time consuming and you need spare batterys and stuff
thanx for your time. Bless
hey i got version 3.52 on my psp is there realy no downgrader for this version? can anyone help me?
Hey, I just found this great PSP site here: http://tinyurl.com/2bduhk
It is all about downgrading and stuff. Anybody tried it?
YES!!!! I did it and I'm a noob I got my firmware form 3.5.2 to 1.5.0 using the pandoras battery method. I had to manually take my battery apart and cut one of the connectors but once I got that far the rest was easy. Only questions is which firmware is the best to use and do i need to do it in steps

Man you guys need to use your brains for thoughs wanting to downgrade their PSP. Why simple becuse you never checked the youtube wich is one of the firstplaces you should have looked! Well I'll provide a link so I haven't looked at any of the videos but knowing that 32 results for just Videos on this PSP firmware downgrader i'm pretty sure theres other versions there so...but since most of you kept asking more than once I doubt you'll understand the steps or methods. JUST BE CAREFUL YOU DON"T DOWNLOAD A DOWNGRADER THAT IS A TROJAN MENT 2 RUIN YOUR PSP, OR DO ANYTHING ELSE THAT WILL DAMAGE/PERMANDENTLY DAMAGE YOUR PRECIOUS PSP!
Ok I found a new way its called Pandoras Battery. Now theres a link to the main site on this (The links genna be on my Name so click that) Supposobly Theres videos saying that battery can even unbrick UR PSP and it will take it back down to firmware 1.50 from any type of firmware! so if ur Firmware is over 1.50 to 3.90 Which is the latest firmware it will still take it back to 1.50. And it can even unBrick any PSP. BUT I SAY THIS ONCE I HAVE NOT TRYED IT SO I HAVE NO CLUE ON THIS ACTUALLY WORKING BUT SINCE I"VE SEEN MULTIPULE YOUTUBE VIDEOS IT SEEMS THIS IS THE BEST WAY! ON TOP OF THAT YOU WON"T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IT POSSIBLY SCREWING UP UR PSP.
