Dark_AleX's Generic Downgrader - Downgrade To Any Firmware From 2.71

Dark_AleX has released a new downgrader that lets you downgrade to any firmware between 1.50 and 2.60 using a firmware update EBOOT rather than a dump of the desired version. For those of you with TA-082 motherboards, you can only safely downgrade to 2.50. If you attempt to downgrade a TA-082 PSP below 2.50, you WILL brick your PSP. Below you'll find a link to the downgrader files, the various firmware upgrade EBOOTs, Dark_AleX's Homebrew Enabler Rev. C, and instructions on how to use this method.

Here's what Dark_AleX had to say about his new application:
"This downgrader lets a psp running firmware 2.71 and HEN C to downgrade to any version from 1.50-2.60, or even reflash the 2.71 version. This downgrader is safer, faster, and a lot easier to use than the previous downgraders. It also makes a clean firmware install, since this time there is a format of flash0 (just like sce updaters do). A firmware dump is not needed, only the eboot.pbp of an update.

Ta-082 users can downgrade to 2.70/2.60/2.50. TA-082 users, DO NOT downgrade below 2.50."
