SUPER easy. worked like a charm. now i can play. Hey, another clarification. what exactly are psx's. I mean, i know they're like a form of playing ps1 or ps2 games on the psp. but how do i actually play them on my psp?

hey Deez, i had a question or two i was hoping you could help me out with. im in the process of buying a psp, and i was recently looking at the new psp slim, which i think has a FW of 3.6. im also interested in DLing games. i understand that there is no downgrader for 3.6 now, or probably any time soon. so the main question is: should i go with a good old 1.5 FW PSP from ebay or wherever? or get the new psp slim and wait for someone to crack it?

also, this may be a stupid question: i was looking on ebay at fw 1.5 psp's and i came across a seller stating: "NOTE: This firmware cannot be upgraded beyond 3.5, so please be aware of that when considering purchasing this item!" does he mean that the fw 1.5 psp has an upgrade limit? or simply that there isnt anything higher as of yet?

thanks.

oh ok. im guessing by the time slim is available and has a fw of 3.6, many of the games that come out require a fw of 3.6 as will. would 3.40OE , LE, or 3.52M33 be able to play those games with a downgraded 1.5 fw?

so what is the real difference between 3.40OE , LE, and 3.52M33? i know these are all custom firmware of one kind or another. but are they capable of playing the same games? and do they run the same type of game files? or are they different formats, in which case i would need to look for particular formats as i download? are there any advantages running one over the other?
and finally, are these firmwares permenant where i would have to downgrade to 1.5 again if i were to upgrade to say 3.6 in the future? or is the fw run off of the memory stick as sort of a temperary upgrade when the psp is turned on?

You have a 3.01 and a 2.81 PSP the 2.71 Downgrader will not work for you.

You have 3 options.

1) Upgrade to 3.03 and use the GTA Liberty City Stories downgrader. Which you will need an unpatched version of GTA Liberty City Stories.

2) upgrade to 3.50 and use the Lumines downgrader. Which you will need an unpatched version of Lumines.

Here are GUIDES for those 2 downgraders. Look under the section of -2.81 - 3.03 Any Motherboard if your going to use the GTA downgrader or look under the section of -3.10 - 3.50 Any Motherboard if your going to use the Lumines downgrader.

3) Use a Pandora Battery to downgrade the PSP's to 1.50. In order to do this method you will need to know someone with a PSP that has 1.50 or custom firmware installed already.

Here is a GUIDE on how to create the Pandora Battery.
