Hello again people,

As many of you know that the PSP Slim has been released all around the world and many people are loving it. The Slim has already been hacked to run Custom Firmware and Homebrew. But there is one thing it lacks which is a 1.50 Kernel Addon for CFW's . Many new homebrew applications come out everyday and most of them don't even work on the Slim which is no good because many of us bought a Slim for the new features it holds. To run a 1.50 App, you need to use eLoader which for some unknown reason does not work for me. I have 2 PSP's, one Fat and the other Slim, for me to run my old 1.50 games like Falling Sand and Lemonade Stand I have to use my phat PSP which I don't like using because you have to press hard on the buttons. I wonder if somebody could create a converter then everybody would be happy and nobody would be angry because of applications not working. So a SHOUT to all dev's out there, make all your newer Apps compatible for the PSP Slim. You will make the scene even happier.

Thanks for reading guys, sorry if it's a bit harsh but I am trying to a prove a major point.

Yours Neo-Tech

I will state this once and only once:

Strictly not for 2.81+ users, not meant for 2.81, 2.82, etc.

If you remove any part of the power supply during the downgrade, you will most certainly have bricked your PSP

Do you believe in miracles? A TA-082 downgrader has been officially released today by a dev named, dark_thug! This downgrader is for use with 2.50 TA-082 PSPs. TA-082 users with 2.6-2.71 can downgrade to 2.50 using the Generic Downgrader. Alright, so here's how it works:

1. Use the DAX generic downgrader to change your ver. to 2.50 if it isnt already.
2. Downloaded the 2.50 TA-082 Check & Dump v1.20 to dump your firmware.
3. Enter your settings in the executable. Here is an example:

4. It will generate the downgrader. Copy the folder ?UPDATE? (the folder it makes) to x:/PSP/GAME
5. download eLoader and put it on your PSP. Load it from the photo menu.
6. Choose ?UPDATE? from the eLoader menu. This will begin the downgrader. It will patch your bootstrap to make it a 1.5.
7.Reboot your PSP AFTER it has finished COMPLETELY! You should get a blue screen. Hit O and restore your settings.

Here's the files you will need:

http://www.psp-haxors.com/forum/downloads.php?action=view&did=256

There has been a reported problem with this downgrader however. According to dark_thug: : SE-C may lock-up while playing some games.
The catch? On 1.50, trying to change settings menu gives a Blue Screen of Death.
This means you can simply not change your Video options, System settings, etc."

As with all things that write to flash, there is a risk of bricking, so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. QJ, dark_thug, myself, and psp-haxors are not responsible for any bricks!

If all this sounds good to you, try it out and you will hopefully be enjoying a 1.50 or 2.71SE-C PSP!

Hey all,

This is the start of my 2.80 review thread !! wish me luck ;)

I've been thinking while i sit at my computer here while my psp 2.80 downloads and tests various homebrew.

Well, since the eLoader 0.995 and xLoader came out, i was pretty excited 'bout emulators and cool games to port onto my psp.

Starting with the most important, eLoader 0.995 

Its really is a good name to name the current eloader and cheers to all 2.80 users ;). Thus far, Kriek has been fairly tasty to me and worked many games ported for 1.5. I've tried gpSP, snesx9TYL, KETM....many more....

Kriek hasn't let me down but im not sure which ones use kernel mode so ill be happy with the one i left on my psp ^^

I was having a look at the files on my mem stick, (of eloader,duh!) and i came across a file : emenu_0995 . This is a picture file and it can be replaced very easily ( dun kill me for changing ur wallpaper, noobz). its juz something i did and i know it's easy but what the heck? heh

1. make your own 480x272 picture ready and add a darkened patch for the names of the hombrew (using paint is simple but cannot be transparent i believe)

2. rename the current emenu_0995 (dont want to lose it do we?)

3. put your pic in the folder ms0:/PSP/eloader

4. rename it to emenu_0995 and you're done ;)

I know this is pretty easy and many of u probably did it already but i'd like to share it with those that haven't done it or thought of it =)

NEWSFLASH~

gpSP 0.8 Kai 2.4 FOR 2.8

was realeased shorlt ago!!!

When it sets to 333MHz with user mode, when it is dropped into 222MHz mandatorily, because it is thing, in one for 2.80 it tried

trying to operate with 300MHz.

Just a copy from pspupdates.qj.net.Is this big news? i have not been too sure since some people posted in comments of the main topic that the current gpSP0.8 already runs games at fullspeed.

This is true as Harvest moon, Castlevania, BOF1 &2 run at max speed on my psp! 

However, i am unable to load 128Mbit running roms. Pokemon , FFT , Kingdom of hearts, and more do not load on MY psp. Can someone confirm this? (Please put a comment or email me. )

With this? will things work? More later as i am testing this out at present. I have been unable to play these roms still with the new gpSP .Could someone IM me if you have any info? I changed my clockspeed to 300MHz using snesx9TYL.Correct me if I'm wrong please.I'm still very noobish ^^

MORE later~
