Default Buy GTA now or Wait for Downgrader?

Hello,

I havent been on here for a long time. As you can see I've been here since the PSP launched last year so Im a little behind on what kind of homebrew I can run with my current 2.5v psp.

I kept my 1.5v FW until GTA(Rented from Gamefly) came out in Oct. then I upgraded to 2.0. So I said goodbye to homebrew around that time. Then shortly after 2.5 came out I upgraded again because I figured WTH I couldnt use my EMU's anymore anyways.

Well not too long ago I heard about this GTA exploit on these forums and that it will allow my 2.5v FW to play Homebrew and stuff again .

Is it worth it for me to go buy GTA lcs? I mean does it play Snes and GBC game fairly well?

Or should I just wait for a Downgrader? Thanks for your help.

Ya both SNES and gameboy color work out great. I would buy it now, so you can play homebrew, but a downgrader may never come for 2.01+

Buy GTA beacause even if a downgrader does come out you will probably need GTA to boot it up.

Thanks for the input. Yah I'll probably go pick up a used copy at gamecrazy tommorrow afternoon. So I'll be back then looking at the guides on how to set it up. Thanks.

@ TeamOverload

If you dont mind me asking how did you get your Screen name in that outlined red color? Thats pretty sweet? Did it come from your Post count? Thanks.

I got it because I am a developer and got premium membership which allows you to use a store function to purchase changes to your name and other stuff. If you want it, develop something, or purcase Premium, its only about $3 a month i believe

Hmm sounds good, I just might do that since I've gotten lots of help from here for almost a year now, plus the colored SN is pretty cool lookin.

So its 3 bucks a month? Thanks again.

Haha thats pretty cool that you can do that and it goes good with your avatar lol. Although Im really not a newb?*(as your title says "noob eating shark" I've been here for a quite a while and am very knowledgable just not with the GtA exploit.

Can anyone get to that point and be able to pwn someone through thier title? Or are you a moderator with higher privladges(spelling?)? Thanks.

If they spend the points, and they are a premium member(those are the only people who can spend points, you can find out how much you ever under your name) you can change another users title. You do not have to be a mod

See what just happened? I literally FORCED someone to get a subscription to QJ.net just so they can change their custom user title.
What have YOU done to help QJ.net's balance sheets lately?

Repeat after me: We'll never be able to downgrade 2.01+ PSPs. It just can't be done.

A 2.0 downgrader, yes. I have 2.6 firmware, regrettably.
