Apparently there have been rumours going around that Fanjita and Ditlew have created a v2.01+ firmware downgrader for the PSP. This notice is just to say, all these rumours are untrue. Fanjita and Ditlew have been inundated with questions about a 2.01+ downgrader, so much to the point that they have had to post a message on their website.

Here's what Fanjita and Ditlew said:

" It seems that someone has been spreading a rumour that we have made a downgrader for v2.01+, but won't release it because we don't like downgraders. We'd like to just set the record straight, because it's getting annoying.

We would never hold back on an interesting hack for the PSP, without good reason. That's because, generally, we'd never work on something that we didn't think was safe to release - which is why we've never bothered to mess about with ISO loading."

If there was a 2.01+ downgrader, rest assured that it would be released, and you'd know about it. Read the full post on their website, Noobz.eu.

is this another joke?
lol
just kiddin i kno thers no downgradew

 » lol?

lol. What rumors? Never heard any. Anyways. The only way to downgrade right now is to force the psp to use its own 1.5 update. Simply bypass the security (in which the exploit already has, the ability to launch eboots) and it could possibly downgrade.Theres no excuse for a version is already on psp error. What do you think the other loaders for umds like runumd or the katamari umd loader do? Try loading prx's from a 1.5 dump using homebrew on a 2.6 or lower.

im sure you have a downgrader fanjita. even if you say no. But like you said.. if you do.. release it... question for you Fanjita... do you work for Sony?? i know you are a programmer.. even if you were.. you wouldn't tel. the eloader v0.98 for when?? ive been cheking your website everyday since april 21 st.. cuz i know that you released an eloader every 3 weeks. (since january 31st). we need a new one soon. An i have to say fanjita.. if you had a downgrader and woulnd't tel... your reputation for me would change.. cuz i would realize that you are not the man we think you are..

You're right, because developing an eboot loader for firmwares that were previously homebrew free and the continuously updating it for no charge, and on his time is just a load of *****. [/sarcasm]

Get over it. I'd love a downgrader as much as anyone, if not more, but I'm also happy with what I've got and so should you.

 » yeah...

to #7--> yeah man for sure im happy with the eloader.. fanjita and ditlew are great... but... if i can screwd $ony as much as i can.. I would :P what do we need for that to happen.. a beautiful downgrader.. hope it will be possible someday so we could all go back to 1.50.

GO FANJITA GO!! :P:D;)

Well, it seems like most people haven't heard the rumours. I hadn't myself either, but obviously Fanjita and Ditlew were having a problem with it, otherwise they wouldn't have posted it on their site.

This is just a heads up ;)

 » To #17

Maybe he means that is's unsafe for him because sony would go against him lol

Just kidding, any iso loader creator has been persecuted by Sony.

XD

never heard such of a rumor, anyways, whoever spreaded that rumor was on crack and has no clue about hacking/homebrewing the psp...like most of the poeple say...

"NO ACCESS TO FLASH0!!!!!"

...remember kids, drugs can mess you up...

duh...inorder to make an ISO loader...shall i repeat thy quote?

Rumors are gay !

   by PHERK (Unregistered) - 2006-05-09
 » unsafe...

It is unsafe because it messes with the flash and with the firmware of the PSP. That is how so many people get tricked into using fake downgraders, and that's how they have bricked PSP's.

^^thank you captain obvious

   by FreePlay - 2006-05-09
 » Actually...

Loading ISOs is perfectly safe... it's just stupid. That said, I tried my damnedest to make an ISO loader for 2.00, but it quite simply *cannot* work. There are too many restrictions in place due to the way eLoader has to run.

And no, even if I managed to get one working, I would not release it. I'm not going to promote piracy.

my personal opinion is that people doing this is the main reason Sony made it so we can have no homebrew. excuse this sloppy post, i used my PSP. lol
