Total noob here. Been reading around for the best solution to upgrade/downgrade my firmware. There seem to be so many different options, that I'm abit confused.

1. Which firmware is considered the best to have right now, one that can run the most application, etc?

2. I currently have firmware 1.52, how would I get to the firmware that you answered in question 1?

thanks

You could use the 2.00/.01 downgrader. Get it here
But first you will need to update to 2.01, so download that here
Download the 2.01 update, unzip/rar it and rename it to EBOOT.PBP and place it in your memory stick like this; PSP/GAME/UPDATE/(put it here). Follow all the readme's and read them correctly. once you downgrade you will be at 1.5, then you will need to update to a custom firmware, like 3.52 M33. With this firmware you can play homebrew, ISO's, PSX games, and customize your home menu. Download that here
Then download update #2 here
Once you've done all that you're set.

Wow haven't seen people with that firmware in years! How long have you had your PSP?

I know I've had mine couple of months after it came out. Anyways, I've tried upgrading to 2.00 or 2.01 and both times I am getting "The game could not be started" (80020148). What am I doing wrong? and no there is no umd disc inserted.

this should work perfectly...not sure why you are getting that error

1.52>2.0>1.5>3.40 OE-A>3.71 M33-4
3.60>4.01 M33-2

The problem is the file must be named "UPDATE.PBP" without the quotes.

What are you talking about? It's supposed to get named EBOOT.PBP and that's a fact. UPDATE.PBP is for when you downgrade.
