PSP downgrade

Pode parecer meio fora de contexto desse blog, mas eu acho legal publicar isso aqui, que pode ajudar alguém que teve o mesmo problema que eu tive. Eu comprei um PSP (Playstation Pocket) nos EUA, que possuía o firmware versão 2.6. Daí descobri que era possível baixar jogos na internet e jogá-los diretamente do meu memory stick, mas para isso era preciso firmware versão 1.5. Procurei vários meios de trocar a versão do meu firmware, e depois de muito brigar, consegui. Estão aqui estão os passos que eu segui:

1) Fazer o download do downgrader DOWNDATER FINAL AUTO, você pode encontrá-lo aqui.
2) Copiar o diretório que contém o arquivo EBOOT.PBP para dentro da pasta PSP/GAME do seu memory stick.
3) Fazer o download dos arquivos da versão 1.5, você pode encontrá-los aqui.
4) Copiar a pasta DOWNDATER (que contém a versão 1.5) na raiz do seu memory stick.
5) Fazer o download do eLoaderBeta 2.6, você pode encontrá-lo aqui.
6) Copiar os arquivos do eLoaderBeta 2.6 (pasta PSP contendo os arquivos) na raiz do memory stick (responda SIM ao substituir os arquivos).
7) Conectar o cabo de energia no PSP.
8) Iniciar o GTA LCS, o eLoader deverá iniciar automaticamente.
9) O eLoader mostrará o DOWNGRADER numa lista, basta executá-lo.
10) A tela ficará preta, e a luz de leitura do memory stick ficará piscando por algum tempo, e então o PSP reiniciará. Caso não reinicie, espere pelo menos um minuto após a luz parar de piscar antes de reiniciar o PSP.
11) Após reiniciar, deve aparecer uma tela de dados corrompidos, dizendo para pressionar o botão "círculo". Após isso, reconfigure seu PSP.
12) Pronto, agora, você tem um PSP versão 1.5!

==============================

It may seem out of the context of this blog, but I think it's good to post this, what can helps someone who had the same problem as me. I bought a PSP (Playstation Pocket) in USA, that had its firmware version 2.6. Then I found out that it was possible to download games on the internet and play then directly from my memory stick, but to be able to do this, I would need a firmware version 1.5. I searched many ways to change the version of my firmware, and after fighting a lot with this issue, I got it! So here are the steps I followed:

1) Download the downgrader software DOWNDATER FINAL AUTO, you can find it here.
2) Copy the folder containing the file EBOOT.PBP to the folder PSP/GAME inside your memory stick.
3) Download the files of the firmware version 1.5, you can find them here.
4) Copy the folder DOWNDATER (which contains the versino 1.5) to the root of your memory stick.
5) Download eLoaderBeta 2.6, you can find it here.
6) Copy eLoaderBeta 2.6 files (folder PSP containing the files) to the root of your memory stick (say yes to overwrite the files).
7) COnnect the power plug to your PSP.
8) Start GTA LCS, eLoader should start automatically.
9) The eLoader will show A list, including the DOWNGRADER, just run it.
10) The screen will turn black, and the left light will be blinking for a while, indicating that its reading the memory stick. After this, your PSP will reboot. If not, wait at least one minute after the light stops blinking to reboot it.
11) After reboot, you will receive a "corrupted data" screen asking you to press "circle" button. After this, reconfigure your PSP.
12) Ok, now you have a PSP with firmware version 1.5!

that's cool !
But one question : do you know it's working with all the PSP ?
I'm asking this because once upon a time things like this was working with firmwares in a certain manguage, of a certain version, bought fron a certain country, etc.

I just know that this doesn't work for TA082 PSP's or something like that... When you open the UMD drawer, look inside and check if is written this code on the circuit board. If yes, probably it won't work.
