Okay, the homebrew scene has gotten rather hectic lately. For a long while, during my hiatus, the scene looked like it was going to die. With all the new custom firmwares, POPstation, and new downgraders, the scene obviously doesn't have the fear of death hanging over it.
Well, while I was gone, things got complicated, flashing the PSP yourself, several firmware versions of homebrew launchable on one firmware, etc. I definetly got left behind in the dust.
So I have a few questions for anyone who knows what they're talking about.
1) What's the deal with flashing the PSP? What's good in doing it, and what can be done? How can you screw up your PSP doing this?
2) What is a DATA.PSP and what is it used for?
3) Is it possible to use a Devhook app w/o devhook?
4) What program can you use to make savestates in PSX games? Before I upgrade to 3.03OE-C, I want to make save states of my PSX games so that I can reload them in 3.03OE-C and make new savestates so I can keep my progress.
5) Speaking of POPstation, how can you switch disks in a multi-disc game? And do you have to have the other disc on the memory stick at the time of the switch?
6) For a POPstation EBOOT, is it possible to change the compression rate w/o creating a new EBOOT from the ISO?
I'll probably end up asking more, but if I can figure all of this out, I'll be good ^^
I'd appreciate any help at all, thanks!
