well you cant downgrade a 2.8 sadly, but there is a downgrader in the making, 1.5 in one word is elite to all other firmwares as it can run iso backups etc, and dont worry about losing higher firmware features like web browser etc as it .5 you can run the higher firmwares with devhook ( game backup loader) and stil have full functionally of the 2.71 features then when your done you can go back to 1.5

********sorry jared forgot to refresh :( *************

well that differs depending on the user, mine would have to be devhook(obviously) irshell(fileassistant remote control), umddaxdumper(makes copies of umd's), and dgen(lets you play sega games :)

they probably workin on a 2.8 downgrader.they are already at 2.71 and people said to me when i had 2.6 that they wouldnt com out with a downgrader.but dont worry,they will com out with one soon.and 1.5 is amazing u can do everyhting on it,except go on the internet.

@Vampiro93

nesterJ is snes i think, but if its snes your after.

http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/snes.html
^ big collection, but missing a few nice games where you will find here.

http://www.djnugz.com/roms/SNES/Games/
^i personally suggest mario world, run a lot better than i could imagine.

.SMC, these are the ones your looking for - R-type3 runs just as well as it does on the snes =D loving it
