haha wow i can tell u dont do research or read the stickies..ill tell u any way

if u ahve 1.0-1.5....stay with it u can run homebrew
if u have 1.51,1.52,2.0,2.01, u can do the downgrader..go to pspupdates if u wanna do the MPH downgrader

if u just got the new 2.50..we'll ur pretty much screwd if u wanna run homebrew and ur gonna have to wait pretty much quite a long time till the crack it

ps:hope this helps

[drizzle]

In response to the above, if you have 2.01 you can not do the downgrader. You are just as stuck as people with the 2.5

But welcome AllMyFriendsrDed and BX-PSP. BX, my favorite game of the moment is Burnout Legends, its such a great game. Remember to read the sticky's and use the search button. Good luck guys!

I thought that was tried and failed since the music VShell just looks for valid music files and would skip over the file with the .tiff extension. There was a thread talking about this before and I beleived the consesus (along with someone upgrading to actually try this and failing) was that this did not work... has anyone actually done this and can verify that?

Hey guyz thanks for all the feed and welcoming me to the psp world.

I have a few questions and was wonderin if u guyz can help out.

1- what is homebrew ? I know what the world means but in psp world what's does it mean.

2- Are the PSP and PS2 compiltable meanin can I save a game and play it on the other system ?

3- when buyin the psp how do I know which firmware the handheld has 1.5 or 2.0 ?

[drizzle]

1. Homebrew are applications that run on the psp but are not created by sony. So any application (games and other things) that run from the memory card and were not "approved" by sony qualify as homebrew.

2. For the most part, no. But there are some games that this does work for. A sports game for sure but forgot which one.

3. You can tell by a letter on the back of the box. I have forgotten exactly how, but there is a way to tell.

Sorry I could only sorta answer some of those questions, but i am sure someone else will be better able to help you.
