Hello,
I'm thinking about getting a psp and have been reading up all the information I can find before I do.
However, I'm a bit confused by what seem to be conflicting sources of information about how to run homebrew - so I have a few questions of clarification.
First - I've read about the need to be in Firmware v1.5 and the possibility of downgrading some higher Firmware versions - Once you've downgraded, you can then UPGRADE to a newer version of an OE Firmware release. As I understand homebrew only runs on v1.5 Firmware , but some original UMDs need higher Firmware to run - and using an OE Firmware allows both options to run homebrew and the newest originals.
So - one or two questions on this :
1, Have I understood all the above correctly?
2, If you have the OE Firmware installed is there a manual choice of operating in V1.5 or in the higher version of the OE Firmware OR are both run somehow at the same time with some kind of auto detect???
3, If an original UMD requires a higher version of Firmware than V1.5 but Homebrew only runs on V1.5 - is it possible to run Homebrew versions of games where the original required a higher version of the Firmware - Does the OE Firmware simply fool[i] the PSP into thinking you have higher Firmware while using the V1.5 to run the game??? This point hasn't really been made clear in anything I've read!
O.K - Still with me? Thanks :) So, I've also read about applications like Devhook and Fastloader and am not clear about how connected all these things are? Are using OE Firmware, Devhook or Fastloader all independent solutions for the same problem? Or do they all have to work together filling in each others strengths and weaknesses. More simply put do you just choose one system or do you have to run them all at the same time?
The PSP I'm thinking of getting is from E-Bay and is a PSP 1.5 /3.10 0E-A2 firmware. If I get this will I need to install Devhook or Fastloader or do I have an out of the box PSP ready to use with any iso or cso image on the Memory Stick??[/i]
Thanks in advance to anybody who can clarify these points for me -
D,
