PSP noob help

[yatong]

Hi every one a real psp noob here and was just wondering hw to start to hack my psp. I just have some real basic questions.

1st of my psp is v3.95. So what can i do to begin to play free psp games, ps1 and emu's?

Do i make a pandora's battery first to downgrade my psp then install custom firemware? Or do i install custom firmeware first?

Do i also need to be able to acces the internet on my psp?

Once i have downgraded my psp or installed a custom firmeware can i just beging to play ps1 games and emuators on my psp buy downloading them?

Last Q is when trying to find free psp games is it best to get them from sites you need to pay for or perhaps just free sites like torrents.

I guess the main question im asking is what do i first need to do to begin to hack my psp and play free games. You can answer back with a link to a guide too.

Big thanks! to any one who replies back and helps this noob out.
