Hey everyone, I know it seems long time, no update but believe me, I've been keeping extremely busy with school projects lately!! Today, I would like to share a new interesting tool with you guys. It's a plug-in and we called it pprefs-prx. So, what is exactly pprefs-prx? pprefs-prx is a plug-ins manager. This tool will allows you to view, control, duplicate or remove your current plug-ins command text [vsh.txt, game.txt...etc] inside seplugins folder. The cool thing is you can manage the plug-ins through your XMB. I can honestly say this tool is better than current plugins manager that available on 5.50/5.00 Recovery Menu.

Good news you 6.20 TN users! pprefs-prx ver 1.07 also works on 6.20 TN. This is the best opportunity for you to test/use it since that 6.20 TN is not able to manage your plug-ins.

Jan 3, 2011 Guide - How to downgrade PSP firmware 6.20 to firmware 5.03

Hello guys! How's your TN-B? I wonder if it's running well on your PSP? I hope so. As I explained in the previous post, TN-B includes a lot of new features. One of the biggest and best improvements is the ability to downgrade firmware 6.20 to firmware 5.03. Yeah, I know, you must wonder if this feature really works. So I have tested it and it really works.

Unfortunately, I'm only able to test it on my PSP 2000 (Hackable mobo). According to PSPGEN, this features should works on PSP 2000 (TA-088 v3) and 3000 too but they can't 100% guarantee about that. It means, your PSP has a possibility to brick while attempting this feature. You should bear in mind that if your PSP (TA-088v3 /3000) bricks, there is no way for you recover the brick. I don't want to scare you, but you really need to think about the possibility.

The good news is there are people who already tested the feature on PSP 3000. Guess what? They really did it and it works without problems. Maybe you wont believe me but it's true. You can CLICK HERE [PSPKind.de] to read their discussion.

Wah..what a long explanation. Actually, today, I'd like to share a guide : How to downgrade PSP firmware 6.20 to firmware 5.03 with 6.20 TN-B. If you planned to downgrade your firmware 6.20 to 5.03, this guide will help you.

Warning:

Use it at your own risk. Please be aware that the brick is possible. 

Bear in mind that if your PSP (TA-088v3 /3000) bricks, there is no way for you recover it.

I'm not responsible if your PSP bricks, or induce any system errors.
