I know what I must do to get custom firmware - but will doing so disable any normal features? Ad-Hoc Party is the one I'm worried about. |

The only time that ever happened was way back when we were writing custom themes straight to flash0 and sometimes you had to delete/disable certain features. Custom firmware is great because you get a later Sony version of firmware and the ability to play homebrew.
iamstrange14 is right if there is a problem you can always go bnack to official firmware

I heard somewhere that attempting to revert to official Sony firmware carried a high risk of bricking my PSP. Admittedly, it is possible to reboot it from that but it's difficult. Of course, I'm only saying what comes to me through the grapevine. |

The only reason it will brick is if you take the battery or memory card out while upgrading.
