Firmware

By the way, just in case you were wondering what version of firmare my psp came preloaded with, the answer is 2.60.

Some research on the net produces the following results, downgrading is very hard, nigh on impossible, very risky, best to avoid and ebay one if you wanna homebrew.

Plus the games i had brought wouldn't run until i'd updated to the latest firmware anyway, which i duly did cos there didn't seem much point taking the risk and downgrading to do some homebrew and leave the £80's worth of games i'd bought getting dusty on a shelf.

So a little bit of advice for all you budding homebrewers, if thats what you want to do, then i've no problem with it, but you would be better off scouring ebay for a cheap psp with 1.5 already preloaded onto it to save you the hassle, and then you can brew away to your heart's content.
