PSP firmware

Psp Firmware

The PlayStation Portable is the first handheld video game console to use an optical disc format. Other salient features of the device are large display screen, robust multi-media capabilities, and connectivity with the PlayStation 3, other PSPs, and the Internet.
PSP runs certain software called PSP firmware

Psp Custom Firmware

Psp firmware custom upgrade provides new features to device. People who have downgraded their PSP to firmware 1.5 have upgraded their PSP again with custom firmware which allows you to run home brew on your PSP and run games from your memory stick.

If we have already downgraded your PSP then you are aware of the fact that custom firmware gets updates frequently. We can install the custom upgrade easilly. We have to read the installation guide.

We need to unzip the file and put the UPDATE folder into your GAME folder of our PSP. If it asks if you want to overwrite then select "yes". If you have a PSP with M33 custom firmware below 5.00 then you need to find the official 5.00 firmware and rename the EBOOT file to 500.PBP and put it in the update folder.

Psp Firmware Downgrade

Some device is not compatible with modern games and other application. That’s why it needs downgrading the firmware for our PSP, and it has risks and also benefits.

If the downgrading is done improperly this may cause our unit inoperable and worthless. And this is the most obvious risk involved with attempting to downgrade the firmware.
A drawback to downgrading the firmware is that some new media may actually require the newest firmware to operate.

There are several ways to downgrade. We have to know that what we are doing but you must know that messing with the firmware on anything can be dangerous. There are, many of ways that we can find online that will show you step-by-step how to downgrade your firmware.

We need to sure that we get the right files for the firmware version. There really are two guides to getting this safe way of downgrading. One guide is for the PSP classic, and the other is for the Slim. We also need an extra battery.
