Im sure people are anxious to try the new downgrader but dont want to risk bircking their psp so ive decided to start a poll so people can tell us their results

Please sticky as im sure this will help quite a fiew people

**Stoicism** · 07-01-2006, 02:16 AM

So far the success rate is 99.99%. Out of ~500 people that have done it already (juding by the 1000 posts in the thread, most of them confirmations + those who didn't) 499 of then succeeded, and 1 didn't. And that 1 person was me.

**Deanaw22** · 07-01-2006, 02:18 AM

what was your firmware when you first got your psp ?

**Deanaw22** · 07-01-2006, 03:50 AM

**BBundy** · 07-01-2006, 03:59 AM

**Deanaw22** · 07-01-2006, 04:12 AM

**muratcan** · 07-01-2006, 04:15 AM

rivera_129 · 07-01-2006, 07:22 AM

no the root is the f:/
or what evr your drive letter is but it is the first screen you see when you plug ur psp into a pc and the windwos pops up

**C2H6O1** · 07-01-2006, 07:25 AM

**GWKYOU** · 07-01-2006, 07:30 AM

Sone I am going to trade in my 1.5 to best buy, the MP3 port is proken, I will check the boxes and Hope for a 2.01 or bellow. Then I will do the whole upgrade/ downgrade. Then I will downgrade my friends PSP.

**Bryden** · 07-01-2006, 07:35 AM

So, for the unfortunates that didn't get a 1.50 (I did

), did theirs just stay at 2.6/2.5 or did they brick?
