Sin'pl, did you downgrade the psp yourself?

no, bought already with 3.40 oe-a. there are many tutorials how to downgrade, and if you will follow every step of it, it will be safe. check maxconsole.net board or psp.qj.net

What does downgrading do??

Takes the operating system down to one that runs emulators and homebrew games.

and isos.
you are not loosing your warranty by doing it.

I've read the tutorials and i'm afraid to brick mine when doing it. Think i just go to a whizzkid, pay him 15 euro's and go home with 3.40 oe-a running on it.

most new PSP's come with a firmware around 2.5/6/7 depending on the date of manufacture.
all new games upgrade the console from time to time, I had poker on mine and it upgraded it automatically...
v1.5 is the way to go for homebrew, most games will go onto a 4gb duo-stick card, saves the running gear on the PSP too.
some newer firmware progs are prone to 'bricking' the PSP, rendering it an expensive doorstop!! beware.....

And the price of my genuine 1.5 creeps ever higher.

stop scaring peoples adidasanth.. 99% downgrades ended successfully. dice, if i were you i would take 'risk' and downgrade myself. if you brick your psp (wich i doubt) you can still restore it in many ways, depending on wich state your console has turned off. if something goes wrong, then you could pay 15 euro's to fix it.
pure - why the hell someone would buy psp with 1.5 on it? just for.. collecting? useless. in 3.40 oe-a you can play most psx titles, play all homebrew for 1.50 (kernel) and 3.40, browse websites, run isos directly from xmb (psp menu), and it has recovery mode.
you can even overclock your psp to run smoother. it supports DAX isos too (compressed games, for example vice city stories iso is 1.8gb, while dax just 1gb!)

indeed pure!
its great when you fire up the PSP and you have 300 odd games on the stick rather than a carrycase full. had an amazing program, in fact still got it that shrinks full DVD's down to 0.75gb, get 3 on a stick!
had loadsa simpsons, bad santa etc all on stick!!!
cool

Indeed you can Sin but I didn't want to upgrade mine, only to lose the capability I do have.
I bought mine funking ages ago.
Not entirely sure I can even use the internet with mine.
It comes with the better screen, did I mention that ?
RE: Anyone got a PSP for sale?? -
sin`pl - 19-07-07
i never heard of other screens in psp, in fact i'm not really interested in psp history. does your screen 'trails'? it's making me angry! you can't see too much in games... what a shame again on sony!
upgrade your psp and i'll kick your ass online!
btw. i have legit 4gb sandisk card and a fake 2gb sony - don't punch me please

Check it out online.
The early PSPs came with a much better screen than they later came with.
Pukka Casio business with higher resolution.
RE: Anyone got a PSP for sale?? -
sin`pl - 19-07-07
that sounds odd. maybe your lcd is sharper, but resolution must be the same, otherwise games wouldn't be compatibible with it..

Turns out it's a Sharp screen and yours is a Samsung.
