Hi there guys,

You have accepted me just too well in this forum when I needed your help, asking my noobish questions when I didn't even have the PSP. Thanks.

However, I now face a second problem...I just discovered my PSP is version 2.60, and I know that there aren't any ways of downgrading it to 2.0 or latter. I'll try to swap it with a 2.0 version so I can do all the downgrading and homebrewing things, but I'd like to know if there is ANYTHING homebrew I can run with this 2.6 version, like any emulator (nes, snes, whatever).

And could I run the iso's using that usb cable process from the PC in this version? This process seems kinda new to me, but it never mentions any kind of firmware limitations.

Thanks again, guys. You're awesome.

There is a large amount of homebrew that works for 2.6 not all the functions and not all the fun that you can have with a 1.5 but 2.6 will load a lot of homebrew, from apps, to emulaters.. with eloader of course...i had a 2.6 for months before i found a 2.0 and downgraded.... just go to your local video game shop & search and search until you find a used one with 2.0, and swap your 2.6 for the 2.0, thats what i did.

Okay, you've come to the right place, my friend.

Yes, you CAN run homebrew on your 2.60 firmware, but any higher firmware will restrict this. However, to play homebrew, you need a copy of the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories UMD. There was an exploit found in the gamesaves which allowed custom code to be executed. You'll need the eLoader from noobz.eu, and you can run almost any type of homebrew execpt for ISOs and Kernal mode requiring homebrew.

If you want my say in this, TRADE THE PSPs, 2.00 is highly valued these days, and all of us 2.01+ users would love some kind of exploit in the firmware, allowing us to downgrade as well.

Go for it, or you'll regret this for a very long time...

The problem is - I'm here in Brazil, so I have to import from the USA. It takes a loong time to come here. I hope I don't get stuck with the 2.60 psp.

Oh, and what about running the iso's using that usb cable process from the PC? Is it possible in this version? I already know how to do it, I just don't know if 2.60 supports it.

No, unfortunately, ISOs cannot be run in any way on firmwares past 1.50, but you can still downgrade a 2.00.

I say it's worth the wait, you'll agree when I say that 1.50s are far better than 2.60s. Heck, you can even emulate 2.50, with the Web Browser and everything!

Geez. I have awful luck to such things... =| When I thought that my Newbie Adventures would have an end, now I get this, the part 4.

LOL. I would actually consider this quite lucky. I'd do anything to trade for a 1.5! (Well, almost anything

)

Also, I'd like to ask: what would happen if I tried to use an emulator, doing all the usual things the readme's tell me? I mean, I can pass it to the memory stick, right? And then, what happens that I can't play them?

Sorry for sounding too noobish - but that's what I am :P
