[Leerz]

eheh well he did compared PSP VS GAMEBOY. ofcourse PSP will conquer, though if you match it up with NDS ;) he might change his mind when he see' SAMUS in action :D what you think guys?

[ticandy]

m1v3cs - What if the firmware already updated. Can you 'downdate' it?

[nishikado]

it is possible with only 2.50 with a chance to brick your psp. currently v2.60 there is no downgrader for the psp. =)

[darkstallion]

bad luck dudes no chance of downgrade.

heard that the most home brew apps etc have been made 4 original Japanese version of psp. Im guessing its Firmware 1.0 may b that is 1.5 anyway hope this kinda helped not really lol

[magician007]

This is very important.
First of all, choose a PSP

2nd of all you must buy a PSP with a firmware version of 1.50 only.

This is because the ISO Launcher, the tool used to play games from the internet (otherwise known as pirated :D ), works only on the PSP with a firmware version of 1.50

[m1v3cs]

yup, get a get PSP with firmware v1.50 and you get to play tons of games :)
magician007, that is not pir ated... :D that is called homebrew :D

[darkstallion]

Well u actually can get pirated games now. U can get ur psp chipped and get copied games. U can in Australia dont know bout where u guys are (around the india area) at but its possible ere

[ticklemyfancy]

yup, get a get PSP with firmware v1.50 and you get to play tons of games
magician007, that is not pir ated... that is called homebrew they are pirated
the definition and real meaning of homebew are almost the same as public domain. (OR FREE)

homebrew's are programs/games meant to be run on a specific platform in which the code is not from official developers.
they may be "HOMEBREW" where itwas developed by an individual orwhoever else in no way affiliated from the original developers of the official ones.

just dumping the IMAGES or iso's of the umd contents is aready PIRATING.
