[Homebrew] VERSiON.TXT SWiTCHER - universal manipulator for version.tx
VERSiON.TXT SWiTCHER v1.1 by Yoti

    This program is designed to manipulate the files "version.txt".
    The program comes in two versions:

    • OFW_MODE - no transactions with flash0, potentially safer (you need to sign).
    • CFW_MODE - has the ability to write in flash0, but without the risk of Brick!

  1. On firmware 5.50 GEN may now easily possible to fix the message "There is no need to update."
       If you try to upgrade the following message:

    Code:
           "The system software of your PSP™
            system is version 9.90.
            There is no need to update."

       then you have the firmware installed FAKE version.txt from 9.90 to protect against accidental renewal.
       The program will help you to replace the original version.txt to 5.50
       that will set you free, and especially beginners, from the danger of manual intervention in the flash0.

  2. If you want to downgrade to 5.03 (PSP-200X/300X-03G), which can be produced from 6.20 TN HEN,
        you'll need in your ms0:/seplugins/ file version.txt 5.00.

  3. You can easily and quickly manipulate files (usb)version.txt in the folder "seplugins", "plugins" or in flash0.
         Sample selection:

    Code:
            ms0(ef0):/(se)plugins/version.txt - to downgrade or a fake version of "System Information".
            ms0(ef0):/(se)plugins/usbversion.txt - to connect to the PSN via Media Go.
              flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt - to change the firmware version.

  4. If you need protection from the upgrade, you can write in flash0:/vsh/etc/
          version.txt file from firmware 9.99.

          The program supports up to 4 files simultaneously versionX.txt, where X - serial number of the slot.
          Also, you can use any of their version.txt, adding to the name of the slot number (no more than four).
    The structure of your file should look like this:

    Code:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
          [Root ms0 or ef0 PSPgo]
               |-PSP
                     |-GAME
                            |-V_SWITCH
                                       |-EBOOT.PBP
                                       |-Version1.txt
                                       |-Version2.txt
                                       |-Version3.txt
                                       |-Version4.txt
