It is now possible to downgrade a 2.5/2.6 PSP down to a 1.5 firmware PSP!

The Process

I did not write this guide to downgrading as I have not downgraded because I am happy with 2.6. This guide was written by RavenLife.
 
Installing the DownGrader (Downdater)

First of all if you have a PSP with the TA-082 motherboard DO NOT attempt to downgrade, there is a VERY strong chance you will BRICK your PSP
Now…
download the downgrader here - http://blindraven.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&op=getit&lid=46

unpack the file – password = I_Use_It_At_My_Own_Risk

now open the file – you should see 3 folders, 1.5 HELPER, DOWNDATER FINAL AUTO EBOOT and SRC – you should also see a readme – YOU SHOULD READ THIS

Now copy DOWNDATER FINAL AUTO EBOOT folder to the PSP/GAME folder on your PSP.

Now you will Need the DOWNDATER folder – you can get this from numerous sources – but please remember that it is illegal
I CANNOT HELP YOU WITH THIS

Once you get the DOWNDATER folder it should have two folders (DUMP + PRX) and two files (nputfl.bin + outputfl.bin) in it

You need to place the DOWNDATER folder on the root of your PSP
i.e (using x as drive letter)
x://DOWNDATER

that’s it for that part – now PLUG YOUR PSP INTO YOUR POWER SUPPLY
and load up GTA
select to load a gamesave (if eloader doesn’t auto boot)
and select eloader.

Now – if you have never used eloader before you should be still able to figure it out
Select DOWNDATER FINAL AUTO EBOOT and click X

Now wait do not touch anything

Your PSP will go black and your memory stick light will flash like mad – this is normal.
Once it has finished (usually about 2-3 minutes)
Your PSP will reboot
And you will see a blue screen
Just hit O
And continue on to set up your PSP’s settings

if all went well, you now have a 1.5 PSP
Sorry if you bricked it
