When you buy something like the psp, you go into it saying"man i hope some of the greatness of the ps1 and ps2 are going to be passed down to the games on the psp." you understand that you are supposed to be buying games. if you want homebrew and are complaining because of a stupid friend upgrading or purchasing a 2.7 or something then you forget the point of the psp. Or if you want a downgrader or iso loader. If you wanted homebrew then go and get a
GP2x. I love mine and it is a great piece of hardware. Unlike sony, this machine is meant to be used for homebrew. they won't lock out home made games. they do have games you can purchase but those are games that you can easily get your hands on the demo or original game before it was picked up by them.
