ANSWER 1)yes upgrade ur psp to 3.80 m33-5

ANSWER 2)homebrew are the copy or downloaded games emulators and software which a custom firmware can only launch.

ANSWER 3)there are some programs which can be run and only seen by psp phat cause psp phat has kernel 1.5. they can be run by slim but slim doesnt have kernel 1.5 so u wont be able to see anything on the screen. emulators and software needs kernel so slim doesnt have it.

ANSWER 4)eboot is psp file type which a psp can run. anytime u find ebbot drag it to an empty folder and put that folder in PSP/GAME folder. then start in from the game memory card menu.

ANSER 5)It loads PS1 games.popsloader lets you choose what version of POPS would you like to play with a game.

1) whats the difference between the 3.71 and 3.80? if i upgrade will if affect some games (like GTA vice won't run).
2) should i upgrade to 3.80 m33-5 with the popsloader 2 or not?
3) is says here that psp slim doesnt have any kernel 150 so does that mean that i cant play any emulator games for my psp slim?

thanks again...

1)3.71 has some bugs while 3.80 fixs it

3.80 has internet radio

2) doesnt realli make a difference

3) slims can still use emulators n such, u just need the emulators that support the slim aswell
