yep, i've heard it works fine too. I've also heard that there are dev teams out there that already have the b@stard love child of f/w 1.50 and 2.00 running on their psps. they're not giving it to us yet tho
I was the exact same. The numerous error screens and lock ups don't help. It's more than worth it though. I love my PSP even more now! Just have to get that homebrew wallpaper app and I'm sorted. Well, maybe that MP3 streaming and Radio Streaming one too.
I had an original US 1.5 which I stupidly upgraded. However I have now downgraded back to 1.5 and was playing doom earlier. Had a trip to ebay as well for some really interesting discs
I'm lucky that I got a 1.5 US at release. I'm just waiting for several threads where people have killed their PSP by trying the downgrade! I'm glad for those of you who have had success and can try, er... legally backed up iso dumps and homebrew.
Just bought one from Japan. If I downgrade to 1.5, will I need to re-upgrade to play Burnout Legends and then vice versa? That sound like it'd be a pain
Makes me laugh that people spend money on the most up to date games stuff and then straight away try to find ways to play all the old games they used to have on old consoles before they sold those cause they got bored of them.
I am probably in a minority as I have most of my old games consoles so when some nostalgia comes over me I can get just them out and play.

I have my NES in the attic but it's acting up and to be honest, I just don't have room for a NES, MegaDrive, SNES and Xbox in my room. Since the Xbox plays all 4, plus the N64 and Arcade games, I'm happy with that.
Just got my psp last night, and am dead pleased with it. Looking at going from v2 to v1.5 I came across this rather disturbing article (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/07/psp_trojan/) seems you can find yourself with a ver expensive doorstop if you get the wrong downgrader. Somehow I don't think Sony would be all that sympathetic ....
Can't seem to find any other articles but to everyone that is thinking of downgrading a little caution might be in order .....
I had a strange one, tried to do the downgrade (I had v2.0) - went into the photo section and it hung with some small white writing on the screen. reset it all and the firmware was version 1.00! Put in untold legends and upgraded to 1.5 - job's a good'un.
