Lumines for PSP Anyone?

By rayyz

I got this PSP for my younger brother a month back. He somehow managed to upgrade it to version 3.50FW to get on par with the latest version or whatever. Now it seems that he cannot downgrade it (obviously!), to lower versions like 1.50 to play cracked games.

I did a quick survey on the web and managed to figure out that downgrading is only possible if you possess an original UMD of a game called Lumines.

So my question is,
first, since I've read that this game is a scarce commodity in gaming market (now that everone has a right to play cracket games!), is anyone in possession of this game and already downgraded to a lower version, willing to sell it?
second, is the original game available in stores such as Toys R US or souqs where cracked games are available?

Any help would be highly appreciated. Please excuse any mistakes from above, cos am not really in handheld devices, more into PS2/3.

Cheers!

Can you downgrade the 3.5 FW? Ive heard that only Lumines PSP game can do this and nothing else except if you are dark alex. do you have Lumines? I had mine 3.5 then downgraded to 1.5 then upgraded to 3.4OE (Open Edition). which means i can play games and movies on the memstick.

You know what? Women are pretty good at this. Getting out info quite easily from men!

Ho ho ho! I am not even getting into this discussion.

My referral to sadistic pleasure was about the sadistic pleasure you get by fingering me and love to hear a thing or two from me. Just can't see me happy all by myself, right!?

Hi long time. :)

I had to give one liner(2 words rather) for you to react.LOL

I agree but i have met 2 ppl who r into movies and games and are not into piracy of any form.By an large i agree with you.

Renting of DVD's from FFC is also big time piracy even bigger than PSP games!

We're all in the same boat. I have yet to meet a person who is into movies games and stuff like that and hasn't indulged in any form of piracy at some point of time in their lives.

my friend got the game from 'Al Merqab' Street ... you know the 'Falcon Entertainment Co.' there? They open a new branch there and you know it ... just go after the family food center there and you will find the shop ... it is not from Family Food to KFC, .. the opposite direction.

Wish you the best of the luck

Bro, you still haven't answered my question. LOL. Any clue where could I find that game before I head out to the souqs/malls hunting for it.

The good part for this hack is that this device doesn't belong to me, whoever is gonna lose my brother! :) The only sad part is that I paid for it.

I checked the link and I guess that you are right, the only issue is all of them are asking you to do it carefully and on your own risk. Hopefully it will work with you man, wishing you the best of the luck.

Well I did my survey last nite and am quite sure it was a thorough one at that!

All the better known PSP hack sites have referred to 'Noobz' downgrader as the most reliable and efficient to do so. You might just wanna have a look at this link : http://www.psp-hacks.com/2007/06/26/psp-350-firmware-downgrader/

with 3.5. You will downgrade it on your own risk, because it is flashing the bios of the PSP and you might damage the device forever. Just leave it as it is ... you can do the down grade if your PSP was something like 2.5 version ...

Best Regards

I know where original games are available. I was looking for the 'exact' name.

As far as my understanding goes, souqs do sell original games, to save their a$$e$$ from timely raids by the anti-piracy cell, if such a thing exists in Qatar.

Cheers!
