Hello everyone,
I haven't been involved much in the PSP homebrew scene since the first year of it coming out, and shortly sold my PSP due to needing cash. I've recently decided to buy a PSP again, and now I have a Japanese PSP 1000 with 2.5 OFW. I've been reading on how to go about upgrading this to the latest M33 CFW.
From what I understand, I downgrade first to 1.5 using eLoader and Dark_Alex downgrader. After that, I am then free to upgrade to the latest M33 CFW (5.0 M33-6 I believe). Is that pretty much all? Will I need the Pandora battery or magic memory stick, considering I'm starting out only at 2.5 firmware, and the pandora+memory is for later ones or bricked systems if I am correct?
Should I upgrade to the latest M33? I mainly wish to play PSP, PS1, SNES, and Genesis games on my PSP, along with homebrew apps. Should I go with a more stable M33 version, or is 5.0 M33-6 pretty compatible now for what I want to do?
Thanks for the advice!
EDIT: Also, my friend has a Japanese PSP 1000KCW with 3.52 M33-4, can he upgrade that to the latest 5.0 M33-6 without needing a Pandora battery and magic memory stick since its already equipped with CFW?
