Need help with 3.50? Check the FAQ

If you’re looking for help in understanding the ins and outs of Noobz‘ 3.50 downgrader, then you should go take a look at Fanjita‘s new FAQ on the team’s website, which should give you a better idea of what you will and won’t need for the downgrading process.

Here’s a quick list of the important things mentioned in the downgrader FAQ:

1. Read the 3.50 Downgrader’s readme file.
2. If you have a Lumines savegame, you may want to back it up to preserve your profile.
3. Don’t upgrade your PSP using Network Update, because you’ll pick up FW 3.51 instead. Either follow the directions in the readme file to grab a copy of 3.50, or pick up the one we have on QJ.
4. The 3.50 Downgrade process works on the US and EU versions of the original Lumines, including Platinum and Greatest Hits versions.
5. People selling Lumines at high prices are, to quote the FAQ, “scum, pure and simple.”
6. Don’t download ISOs.
7. Read the 3.50 Downgrader’s readme file.

If you noticed that we repeated the whole readme file thing, there’s good reason for that. The FAQ only answers the questions frequently asked by people regarding downgrading from FW 3.50, but shouldn’t be taken as the be-all and end-all resource for it. Combine the readme file that comes with the downgrader, the FAQ, and possibly the downgrading video as well, and you should have the definitive set of instructions to get you into homebrew.
