Go all the way to the left ,to SETTINGS, on the main menu.
Go down to SYSTEM SETTINGS.
Press X, and go down to SYSTEM INFORMATION.
Press X to find your firmware version.
Your chances of getting some useful replies will improve if you post what f/w you're on.
do what dangee said.... then if you have "version 3.50" <-- should look like that! or close cant remember.... then get lummines.... (not the greatest hit ver! get the normal ver!) then get the lummines downgrade hack! (GOOGLE IT!)
well after I got it up and running I took it online and updated it to ver 3.80
Homebrew isn't supported by Official F/w 3.80, other than a few
apps that run in the web browser.
You can download and play all the latest game demos (google game demos+psp).
Custom themes can change the appearance of the XMB.
MP3 download is supported (use save link target in the browser).
Video in PSP format is hard to find online, but you can find some
if you hunt around.
you can always buy a datel TOOL battery for about £15, or convert your battery to a pandora if you know anyone with a custom firmware, use this to install a custom firmware of your choice and hey presto, emulation apps and iso games are yours.
hope this helps

Oh dear... Pandora battery for you... hope you get it sorted 'cos homebrew really opens up psp's potential
convert battery? what do you mean?
<--- noob!
He means convert a regular PSP battery to a Pandora battery, which will allow you to downgrade...You can't screw with homebrew with your firmware that high, as previously stated as well, you need someone who has a PSP with CFW or 1.5FW I am not sure which, to make the battery, just don't use your current battery because I think once you make one pandora it can't be used regularly...Correct me if I am wrong.
