Hey , I have downgraded my wonderful PSP to a version 1.50 , The problem is i've got a Free UMD with the console and it appears i need a software upgrade to run it , What is the best way to skip this check?

As i am still a noob (I will learn really soon Razz)
Ive heard a few programs you can use to do this , but i can't remember Sad

Edit : I remember a program now , UMD Emu V0.8? Will that bypass checks on movies?
Edit #2 : UMD Emu V0.8 Is messing my PSP up , It wont quit Confused , Is it safe to turn off?

Only on UMD ISO's, I would suggest you get the "WAB VERSION CHANGER" this will change your firmware to be "2.0" without really changing it Very Happy!

Meh.. Is that safe to use? , Meaning will i be able to upgrade to 2.00 if i use it?
Aragh , I never men't that i mean.. Can you update to 2.00 AGAIN
even though it says 2.00 in the system software (when its not really)?

Edit : Are there any nasty side effects? , Sorry for all the questions but i've had my PSP for nearly a day and nearly bricked it once already Very Happy Im such a PSP Noob Sad

No its perfectly safe, just run the program again to change it back to its correct version Very Happy! The only way to brick your PSP is by being a moron and running crap you don't understand haha Razz

Don't worry so much, the only way to brick your PSP is by running something that writes to FLASH.. I would check the PSPUPDATES forums if your unsure of a program as they generally test everything and make sure its working.. also, you can brick it by writting to flash and turning off half way through, so, DONT DO THAT!

Downgrading = good + biggest chance of a brick by being stupid Smile

Version 2.0 now , And 'The disc can not be played' Nice... , I hear there is no workaround for that correct? , I'm not bothered too much its just i got it free with the console so i thought i would give it a try Rolling Eyes

i thought if you used the downgrade then your save to play any Original UMD that includes a Update upto and including firmware2 as its all built in and just bypasses the checks.

I say this because my wipeout shows 1.52 update required in PSP menu yet plays fine on my 1.5

I also get the 'Disc cannot be played' , There must be a way around this without upgrading again?
