Play Firmware 2.0 Games on a 1.50 PSP

Currently the games that are supported (and confirmed) that had the 2.0 perquisite are:

  • The Hustle: Detroit Streets
  • Harvest Moon

    So GTA LCS can’t be played on a 1.50 PSP? Darn! I just bought it and I need to upgrade but I can’t because I dongraded! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Rohil says:

    GTA LCS contains the firmware upgrade to 2.00. You should have no problem

  3. abc says:

    can u play gta if u upgraded to 2.6?

  4. Ketan says:

    you can only play games u need to upgrade if u put in a game that works then when u start the game it goes to the white screen with psp writin on it, while its on that then quickly change the game to san adreas:lcs or any other game. make sure ur psp’s still on the white sreen. do this at ur own risk because i asked around and it might mess up ur psp so be careful.

  5. sirchin says:

  10. common sense says:

    THERE IS NO WAY TO PLAY GTA LCS ON 1.50 PSP
    THERE NEVER WILL BE! YOU HAVE TO UPGRADE AND DOWNGRADE, AS OF NOW 81% OF HOMEBREW APPS ARE SUPPORTED ON 2.0 SO IF YOU WAIT SAY 3 MONTHS 2.0 SHOULD BE JUST AS GOOD AS 1.50

  11. fAnTA says:

    lies
    theres a big list of games that run on 1.5 that require 2.0+ so shh

  12. Xylonz says:

    I downgraded to 1.5, How do i upgrading back to the firmware 2.0? When I put the firmware 2.0 it wouldnt display the text. I try pressing every button.

  13. Skfuckinbaddaman says:

    You Fucking dick heads check out http://www.sonyteamx.com where all of your shit will be answered. Bitchs

  14. Osama says:

    WELL YOU WERE JUST PROVEN WRONG! MPH came out with a 2.00 game loader. SO download that at tu da. Oh #13 the WAB changer does nothing you dutsch

  15. Jim says:

    i’ve played gta on 1.5 today. MPH new loader. Only works for 10 mins at the moment though. Release is next week.

  16. anthony says:

    there is a way to play gta lcs on a v1.5 psp.you need umd emulator and a couple other things to do so.yuo mind is weak and cannot understand that everything is possible and anything can be done.so that makes you a fucking idiot

  17. Ben says:

    GTA can now be played on 1.5 through a hack by MPH called MPH game loader. You can find it on their homepage. Be aware that there are two versions under the same name flying around. The full version, which is perfectly alright, was released about a week after the demo. Many have been complaining that the loader crashes after playing for 10 mins. If you read the information posted properly in manuals or on the website, you would know that this was an intentional feature of the demo. So I will say it again, the full version is available on the MPH homepage.

    Additionally, you will need the ISO of GTA to run the game, decryptPRX included with the loader, and the 2.0 firmware on your memory stick, which can be extracted from a 2.0 update eboot using MPH firmware loader. I believe any UMD will do. I can also confirm that with this loader, Metal Gear Acid 2 is now playable with saving enabled unlike before. Check it out anyway. This is a big bonus for those with 1.5 firmware PSPs. A big thanks to MPH for this. And as they say “1.50 is not dead”. Just make sure you buy the original UMD before using any ISOs.

  18. kontuki says:

    i can play gta w/out mph’s loader, its easy, just used wab version changer with a modified iso of gta and kaboom

  19. retro_punk says:

    don’t talk shit kontuki, you can only play gta:lcs on 1.50 psp using mph 2.00 game launcher. WAB version changer won’t work coz gta:lcs needs an ENCRYPTED PRX in order to run on 1.5. so shut the f**k up will ya?

  20. mike says:

    you guys all need to grow up. How old are you? Stupid babies who scour the net looking for tidbits of information you don’t fully understand. All I read is ‘Falk you’, ‘Falk me’, ‘Shut the falk up’, ‘please don’t be a poo poo head’.

    Geezuz, you all sound like a bunch of idiot wannabees who know nothing about what your talking about, yet pretend to know things. This goes for everyone who posted on here. Who cares if someone elses posting a lie (if it really is), why respond with something like ‘shut the falk up will ya?’.

    It only makes you look like a immature jackass with nothing else to do but look around on the net for information you don’t understand.

    Geeze, I hate kids who claim they understand programming and code, when they don’t. Pick up a book, learn how the PSP works before you go ragging on someone else who might actually know more than you.

    Dumbass’s all of you.

    I can’t wait to read the ‘Your a falking fag ass retard reject with no life who lives in his momma’s basement’ replies. That shit doesn’t bother me. The people who respond to messages with ‘falk off already’ are the ones who are really affected by such talk. They read it, and feel like they have to retaliate.

    grow up

  21. liquid_ooze says:

    hahaha…. this “mike” guy is kinda funny!

  22. retro_punk says:

    FALK ALL YOU BEEYOTCHES!

  33. lapeche says:

    I was considering buying a PSP 1.5 but not so sure now- sounds like a whole load of grief trying to get shit to work. Here in BKK you can buy copy psp games for 200 baht (5 dollars) each but I was under the impression that they were free on the web. And some of you can’t play gta? Ouch! Well, happy hunting- you may as well enjoy looking for these games as it apparently occupies a lot of your time. take care…

  34. pspmaniak says:

    To PIKAPSP

    How did you play GTA LCS on psp 1.5. I just recently downgraded from 2.6 to 1.5 Now i can’t play GTA LCS on my psp.

  35. John Cool says:

    Hey Guys, If I extract the ISO of GTA:LCS and put it in Fastloader or something, will it play on v1.5?

  36. johnny says:

    what is a ISO? and how do i use it to play GTA? thank you

  37. johnny says:

    what is a ISO? and how do i use it to play GTA? thank you

  38. Liam says:

    ISO is a game file which is downloaded which most people get via file sharing programs or they get from torrents.

  39. Leo2003 says:

    Ok, to make everyone happy, use this, its no risk to a 1.5 psp at all as I have tested it, if you have a 2.0 UMD or above disc and want to play it on a 1.5 please copy n paste the link below to download and enjoy your 2.0 + umd disc games, psp 1.5 owns im afraid

  49. Yan says:

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS! ARE SUCH A NOOBS!!!! LMAO!!! and YES!!! u can play GTA: LCS on the Firmware 1.50, how come?, all you need is a DevHook, what is a devhook? a devhook is a tool that emulate other firmware, like, 1.50 jumps to firmware 2.71, but that just temporaly, if u fully shutdown ur psp u will have the 1.50 again, so yeah, and for those ppl that want to upgrade your psp, theres still away, ust download the updates pbps and thats it, update ur psp to the firmware u want, lol sry about flaming, but that just came out ;), cya guys, and good luck

  50. jamal says:

    excuse me your a noob you can not play GTA LCS on a psp 1.5 that is why you need devhook to think its version 2.0 or higher.

  51. Jon says:

    GET 3.10 oe-a it can do evrything a 1.5 psp can do and can do everything 3.10 can do!
