The admin is a friend of mine and he was talking to me about a potential givin back to homebrew developers thing where he takes the extra money after server costs from the advertisements on this site to reward homebrew developers for all released...i duno if hes still planning that though.

Back on topic, firmware is flashed onto a NAND chip, which contains solid state memory (non volatile) therefore it stays on chip even after the unit shuts off/battery runs out.

Like does the motherboard with the chips etc on start at 1.0 then they all get upgraded?

Is there no big dirty button inside the psp that says "RESET" or some shit like that.

God i wish i knew stuff about hacking and programing, id love to try and help with a downgrader.

I think websites should host a competition, non of this, first flash player or some shit competitions, but FIRST 2.01+ to 1.5 downgrader,

The hacker gets some nice goodies etc. We need some incentive!
