I started this thread so people could actually write ideas of theres on a Downgrade from 2.5... I know that most people don't have a clue on what to do to figure out the software, but there are some people out there who have ideas just don't know how to do it. Maybe with the ideas of people it will spark ideas in the Programmers minds to get the wheels turning on this project... also it will give people a chance to discuss what they think will happen, since no one has been giving details with the downgrader or it's process just leaving us people waiting, even contemplating about upgrading..

I personally think that everything has a bios, even if it isn't showing... macs have bios, windows have bios, playstations and xboxs have bios... it's a matter of getting into them... you access the memory slot through usb but the usb has to run through the "computer" for it to recognize the memory card... if you could find what is between the USB PORT and MEMORY might be something... it has to be linked some how... it's like hidden

wut r u, fuckin retarded? the thing that connects them is copper, embedded into the motherboard

and what do u mean "everything has a bios, even if it isn't showing"? if the bios chip isnt there, then theres no bios.

well you can be an arrogant bastard or you can have common since i obviously can tell which one you are... well of course copper is connecting them, but it isn't a direct connect as you stated... it's the motherboard... motherboards have BIOS man you need to think

ok, first off, i know that there is a bios on the psp, as i have taken apart my psp and put it back together. i have examined every fraction of it, and yes there is a bios on the psp mobo. "I personally think that everything has a bios, even if it isn't showing" that comment made it sound like u were unsure where it was or if it had one.

well sorry if i came off as a bitch, you kinda went off and was unnecessary... i'm a computer programmer, but don't specialize in the reverse engineering... if i made something then i can reverse it , but reversing someone elses work has never came naturally... i'm wondering if there is a combination or something that you have to use using the test points or buttons or something to access the software inside the psp because you know that at the factory they have to have a bios clear or something that would clear the memory for the software first install or a malfunction...

Whtpsp might be on to something, but hasnt it been shown that flashing the bios of a psp would be hard and expensive (the hardware way). The same method that may be found to unbrick psps could be used to flash a preferable bios on the psp. This would require lots of work and refining though for it to be a readily available mod. Maybe if its popular enough but still mildly expensive some shops might buy the machine and just charge money for then to flash your psp.
