As some of you in the forums have noted, Chaos Zero of PSP HaXors wrote about the release of a TA-082 PSP downgrader for people to use. Made by dark_thug, he notes that with the proper additional software, TA-082 units with 2.50, 2.60 and 2.71 firmware types can now switch downgrade to 1.50 or 2.71 SE-C.
Now, on to the tough bits of this little article. There are a lot of warnings that need to be given in case you feel the urge to use this app. Here's the combined weight of PSP HaXors warnings and our own:
* Some games will lock up in 2.71 SE-C.
* On 1.50, trying to change settings menu gives a Blue Screen of Death. You won't be able to change your Video Options, System Settings, etc.
* On a brighter note, the BSoD could theoretically be fixed, using an app like X-Flash to flash a new system reg from a 1.50 user! Or, while making the dump, switch the 2.50 reg with the 1.50 reg. This is risky however.
* The TA-082 Boards can also be downgraded to 2.71 SE-C! The BSoD will be gone. The catch again, you may not be able to return (to 1.50). If you can, it will most likely use the same update made to downgrade from 2.50. That still has not been tested.
* Using this to downgrade to either 1.50 or SE-C leaves you with that particular state. Attempting to upgrade, according to 0okm, will most likely brick your PSP so you probably shouldn't try it.
* We haven't tested this on our unit, so you'll be attempting this at your own risk. Make sure you know what you're doing before you try it out.
If you'd like to know how to install it, you'll find yourself better served by visiting our stickied thread on the QJ forums below. Adiuvo has written a pretty extensive tutorial process with all the bells and whistles, including additional screenshots and pictures of the code you might need. Note that you'll need to use the DAX Generic Downgrader, the 2.5 eLoader, and the 2.50 TA-082 Check & Dump v1.20, which we're linking to here and can also be picked up through the forum thread.
In any case, we wish you all the best of luck. Again, make sure you know what you're doing or you might lose your PSP. Feel free to check back on this article or on our forums for more information, as we're pretty sure everyone watches each other's backs in the homebrew scene. Take care!
