Finally, you can downgrade your 3.03 PSP to homebrew-friendly 1.50. You will need the following:- Unpatched GTA: Liberty City Stories
- 1.50 firmware
- 3.03 firmware
- 3.03 downgrader
[Thanks, Ben!]

OK VERY important question...
I read their readme file and it specified the North America 1.50 Version.
I'm in Europe, does this mean this is only for US PSP owners.
What if i need to upgrade to a future EU Sony Version?

Okay, so I've done it (all together now... Thaaaaank you, Dark Alex!) So once you're done, can you erase all of the files you put into your PSP folder, or are some of those needed? I figure it's all in the firmware, so it's alright to delete them, but I want to here from someone who knows. That's all, I think many people could benefit from an answer to this question, I hope someone can help us out. Thanks again, everybody!

Anyone know if the "Greatest Hits" GTA: LCS is unpatched or not?

To answer some questions:
-YES, you can downgrade a TA-082 BUT you'll need to patch it first (the downgrader includes this patch and it will be required to finish the downgrade so don't worry)
- the greatest hits GTA Liberty city stories IS NOT an unpatched game... sorry!
