PSP Virgin needing info

Hi fellow PSP enthusiasts i have just entered the PSP world and im in need of some help/info on how to get going. The system software is 2.71. I dont know the difference between the software types but have read things about 1.50 being good for downloads. I am looking for help on how to download both games and movies and learn about what is required to do so.
Please help me!

Chris

Well, 1.50 is the original 'golden firmware', yes.

Homebrew applications are games and utilities that hundreds of friendly programmers and coders create for the hundreds of thousands of PSP users around the world. The programs range from classic arcade games, to console emulators like the PS1 emulator, and PSP ISO loaders, allowing you to play official games from your memory stick.

1.50 is good, as it allows any piece of homebrew to be loaded, and is optimum for doing that sort of thing.

Though, there is one better; 3.03 OE-B. This isn't the official 3.03, it's much, much better. It's been crafted and blended with 1.50 to create a firmware with all the official features, combined with full homebrew, even better than 1.50.
On OE-B, you can play any of your downloaded or backed up PS1 games on the PSP at full speed, use any homebrew, all the new features such as the web broswer, extra stuff like full screen video, the ability to cheat in games and to load homebrew modules to customize your experience. It also has a built-in recovery menu so that you can recover your PSP from flashing bad things to your PSP.

You'll want to downgrade to 1.50, then update to 3.03 OE-A, then to OE-B (the only possible route). PSP hacking isn't like phone hacking. It isn't the crude, unsafe stuff junk you find on a mobile, it's smooth, clean, legal, and safe. (So long as you follow instructions).


So, what do you say, wanna' make your PSP like nothing you have ever seen? If you want to, then say the word; if not, I suggest you update to the latest official firmware, which may never have homebrew, and play those horrible official demo games and pay for a few PS1 games, instead of unlimited, fun and FREE homebrew games, applications, and PS1 games....

It's a red pill - blue pill situation!

Hi, and welcome to the PSP scene!

I'd recommend the custom firmware 3.03 OE, which gives you a mix of downloaded stuff and Sony features. However, in order to get there, we need to know if you have a TA-082 PCB. You don't need to understand what that means, just tell us if the writing highlighted in this picture is present on your PSP.



EDIT: Damn you pj, you beat me to it! Oh well, I mentioned TA-082 and you didn't.

Yay!

Okay, now you'll want to downgrade to 1.50 first.
Do the following:

Download the following:
Download 2.71 Generic Downgrader
Inside the updateflasher\MS_ROOT\PSP\GAME folder in the downloaded archive there's an UPDATE folder. Put it in PSP\GAME.
Download the 1.50 update EBOOT.PBP from HERE, rename it to UPDATE.PBP, and put it in the UPDATE directory.
Run from the Game menu via HEN.

Follow the instructions, and 1.50 will be flashed to the system. Tell me when that's done.

Or you could minimize the effort and download the installer from my Installer thread (see below) and let it install everything for you. But you also need the HEN D installer, which pj mentioned but didn't tell you how to install. Once they're both installed onto your PSP, post back and me or pj will help.
