Yoshihiro from Wab has released version 2 of the Wab version changer. “This is described as the First Firmware Trick for Games that need Firmware 1.52 to run on your PSP and Cant Run UPDATER 1.52 or 2.0. The System thinks it's a PSP v1.52 ,v1.0 ,v2.0 even if its a v1.5 or 1.0.

Unrar the file and put the Folders into :

Then follow the instructions on the screen

/me suddenly gets excited that GTASP is coming out!!!

that app just maskarades the system version as the one requested, it does not actually update the system with the extra API bits that come with the new versions above 1.5. so if a game actually takes use of some APIs introduced in 2.0 or 1.52 and you try to fool it with this loader then it will plainly crash. now, the API differeces between 1.5 and 1.52 are rumored to be nil, so you may be successful with running 1.52 games. but that most likely will be it. so don't expect too much.

did anybody did test this with an actual game?

my v1.0 psp (japan) has now a fake v2.0 firmware ID on it..
i'm planning on buying a game but i want to be certain that it will play
(for ex: collin mcrae needs v1.52 as i read somewhere)

This is how they could've faked those 1.52 / 2.0 downgrade videos....

 

[hey69]

yup true... but i still hope they will found a nice way to downgrade the firmware
what would be better is modify the version2 firmware so it would be open for homebrew
so that way you could gain the extras that come in the higher firmwareudates

I'm now playing Virtua Tennis:World Tour which require v 1.52 on my PSP v 1.50. I've used WAB Version Changer to make my PSP report it is v 2.00.
