Great News!

You can now downgrade all versions of PSP from 1.51 through 3.50.

Naturally, Sony is now marketing the 3.51 and 3.52, which cannot be downgraded - yet.

Before you begin any downgrade read the Important Downgrade Info page. Be sure you know your current version and, if you have a 1.51 through 2.71, whether you have a TA-082 Motherboard.

Remember: incorrectly modifying your PSP can leave you with a brick!

What You Need to Know About PSP Versions

The first American PSP was version 1.50. Sony has released many upgraded versions of the PSP since then, along with upgrade patches for earlier versions of the PSP.

As of this date (July 2007) the new PSPs are version 3.51.

In order to play downloaded games and movies you have to get your PSP back to the original 1.50 version. This is sometimes referred to as the “Golden Version” for obvious reasons.

To get your PSP back to version 1.50 you have to downgrade the version you currently have. However, depending on the version you now have, you may have to upgrade before you downgrade.

(Sound complicated? Don’t worry, PSP-Monkey will explain all.)

Once your PSP is back to version 1.50 you can then use an upgrader to upgrade your PSP to a higher custom version. Following the PSP-Monkey Website you will be upgrading to version 3.40 OE-A, created by Dark_Alex.

This 3.40 OE-A custom firmware allows you to do everything the official Sony 3.40 version does, and:

• run downloaded games;
• play PSOne (PSX) games;
• use plugins, such as CWCheat, SVCapture, POPS Loader, and MP3 PRX;
• increase the brightness level above normal;
• change the processor speed so you can run games faster; and
• it adds a recovery console that may assist in the event of semi-brick conditions.

Did I already say this? Read all instructions for your version before you do anything. Also read the entire ReadMe.txt for your firmware version before you begin downgrading or upgrading.
