Play Firmware 2.0 Games on a 1.50 PSP
Monday, Nov. 28 2005 | Author: GriffithBefore you ask, no you still can’t play GTA:LCS and don’t ask when you’ll be able to or if you can play it 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
- Pro Evolution Soccer 5

1So 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2GTA LCS contains the firmware upgrade to 2.00. You should have no problem

3can u play gta if u upgraded to 2.6?
January 4th, 2006 at 4:30 pm
4you 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.

10THERE 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
January 25th, 2006 at 8:08 pm
11lies
theres a big list of games that run on 1.5 that require 2.0+ so shh
January 27th, 2006 at 4:22 am

14WELL 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
February 24th, 2006 at 7:00 am
15i’ve played gta on 1.5 today. MPH new loader. Only works for 10 mins at the moment though. Release is next week.
February 24th, 2006 at 4:35 pm
16there 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
February 24th, 2006 at 11:15 pm
17GTA 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.

18i can play gta w/out mph’s loader, its easy, just used wab version changer with a modified iso of gta and kaboom
March 4th, 2006 at 5:04 am
19don’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?

20you 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

25Mike the one who needs to grow i think is you, i have never posted in forums about psp stuff i just look around and mind my own business but in this 1 i think i should interupt you, u sad loser ur the type who got nothing betta to do then slag others off, instead of working as a group to help each other out grow up, oh yea by the way i was scrolling earlier i found something interesting to read i had to close the url because my boss come in, it was something like maxconsole.net or .com can’t remember a forum was actually helping each other how to play the 2.0 iso games for example decrept the iso in that way or the other for anyone who’s interested to look into it, ahh well take care enjoy ya psp illegal stuff i kno i am :)

33I 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…

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.

35Hey Guys, If I extract the ISO of GTA:LCS and put it in Fastloader or something, will it play on v1.5?

October 10th, 2006 at 3:02 pm
38ISO is a game file which is downloaded which most people get via file sharing programs or they get from torrents.
October 16th, 2006 at 5:40 pm
39Ok, 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

49LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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
March 17th, 2007 at 10:39 am
50excuse 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.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
