Is emulating/homebrew playing going to be...dangerous to my PSP?

[YoYoBoY]

I'm getting a PSP soon, and I want to know if I could permanently screw up my PSP by running any of the games / programs on this site (ie: I do something wrong...)... is there any danger?

IF U BUY UR PSP AT A STORE,U WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT...PRAY U GET A 2.0 SO U CAN DOWNGRADE :cool:

nah, most programs won't do anything to your PSP if you act n00bish. But untill you get the hang of it i'd avoid programs that change the physical data on your PSP (version changers, background changers, ect.) and I would get a freind who knows what he's doing to downgrade your PSP, cus you can really mess it up with that downgrader if you don't know what your doing

Downgrading isn't so hard if you just take some time and read the instructions carefully.

I have yet to downgrade my PSP from 2.0 to 1.5 but a friend sent me a nice detailed guide on how to do it, I just have yet to actually do it. I am pondering on getting a 2nd PSP that way when I finally downgrade I will have one for UMD gaming which will be updated as newer games come out and the other for everything else. when I had 1.5 I was emulating stuff here and there and if something messed up I just deleted it off and started over and over till I got it working.

(BTW omniosiris I like your avatar glad to see there are other ZAO fans out there!)
