Hi guys. I'm new to the scene. Lots of information out there, but I just want a little opinion about:

What is the best method to prep my PSP 2000 slim (OFW 3.80) for emulation?

I have heard of getting 5.03 and Chickhen.
I have heard of doing pandora battery + MMS
I have heard of other custom firmwares.

Is there a consensus on what is the most stable way to set up for emulation? Maybe some pros and cons? That's the only reason why I bought this PSP, so I want to do it right.

Thanks
