Incredibly confused about firmware... please help!

Hi all.

I'm considering buying a 1.52 PSP, but I'm still very confused about whether or not I can play homebrew on it. I understand that I can upgrade to 2.0 and play most homebrew, but I also understand that you need a 1.5 PSP or lower to use SNES9x_TYL.

Is it possible to downgrade to 1.5, from a 1.52? Is any homebrew playable on 1.52 firmware?

The whole thing has me incredibly confused, so if someone could clear things up about what's possible with a 1.52 PSP, I'd be grateful. Thanks!
