How to Downgrade Your PSP
To downgrade do the following:
- Create the X://PSP/GAME/UPDATE directory if it doesn’t exisit.
- Copy EBOOT.PBP (v1.50) into X://PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.
- Unzip the PSPdowngrade.zip package and open the folder.
- Copy overflow.tif into X://PSP/PHOTO/ folder.
- Then copy h.bin into the root folder. (X://h.bin)
- Finally copy index.dat into root folder as well (X://index.dat)
- Make sure your AC adaptor is connected.
- In your PSP enter the Photos section, which will launch a little app.
- You will need to wait ~30 seconds and then restart your PSP.
- Then finally Game Menu and launch the v1.5 updater (downgrade).
- Follow instructions and then at 99% an error should popup.
- Thats normal so just restart the PSP and it should show an error.
- Now restart the unit one more time and the PSP should be ready.
Notes: Make sure there are no other Photos other than the overflow image present in the photos folder during this “downgrade” procedure. To restart hold the power button for about 10 seconds once it is off wait 10 seconds and turn it back on. All credit goes to MPH for creating this hack to downgrade PSPs.
