Many custom firmwares require a specific version of official firmware to be installed first, so if you plan on doing more than seeking out a few homebrews and cheating like hell with the Action Replay, you may want to download and downgrade to something other than 6.20.

Custom firmware is designed by a slew of clever individuals and pushes the capabilities of the PSP beyond anything Sony imagined. To fully explore the potential of messing around with the PSP, you’ll have to dig deeper into the realm of custom firmware. And so, I set off to downgrade my own PSP, and once I’d succeeded, promptly ordered an Action Replay for the PSP. I love fooling around with these “game enhancers,” and as I looked to see what was available on Amazon, I noticed several negative reviews from folks stating that the Action Replay wouldn’t work with newer versions of the PSP‘s firmware. At some point though, Datel ceased updating their device and it will not work with versions 6.30 and beyond. Datel’s Action Reply for the PSP was, for a time, updated regularly to keep pace with the updates to the PSP. There’s also another great reason to consider downgrading to an earlier version, and it’s the very reason that led me to exploring this topic in the first place. Now that the system is essentially obsolete, no further firmware updates are being made available, but Sony has tinkered with the PSP enough to cause several compatibility issues when using the latest firmware, version 6.60. Realizing the potential for the PSP to be exploited, Sony did their best to keep users from doing anything original on the device through the use of firmware updates. Earlier versions of the PSP‘s firmware are more compatible with homebrew titles as well as other little tricks (hacks) that people have come up with over time. The most obvious question is “why would I want to downgrade the PSP‘s firmware?” Well, the answer is pretty simple. But if you still pick yours up from time to time like I do, this article might just be the beginning of breathing some new life into this dusty old handheld. After all, the PSP never did make much of a splash and by now most people have probably forgotten about it. Ok, so perhaps at first glance this doesn’t seem like the most exciting project.
