Afraid of patching to 2.0, help needed...

Hi,

I'm new to this, I read most of the previous threads, but have not found an answer to this. I just got into running some emu's on my psp. I don't want to lose this ability for any reason, I dont care what comes in the 2.0 patch!

I know by upgradding to anything above 1.5, you lose the ability to run homebrew.

My question is if there are any PSP games which force the update to be installed, once you run the game. Or will they always ask you if you want to proceed with the upgrade?

My fear is buying a new game and finding out my system got updated without me knowing...

apparently you didnt read enough of the previouse threads.

the only current games that require an update known only update to 1.5. so to answere your question. not yet.

but i heard that namco museum has an upgrade to 1.52 .. the question is if the game asks you to install, or does it just go ahead and do it?

All I know is to avoid every PSP game that you can...until we all know for sure.

Isnt it true that it could never force an upgrade since you have to have the power cord plugged in for a Bios flash to occur. Im guessing it only prompts you to upgrade.

well the origanal framwear was 1.0 (and wat my psp was) and i put coded arms in and it was 1.5 didnt ask or nothing. I when to install it (not knowing it was 1.5) and it said you al ready have this (and that was just walking out of gamestop)

now its a us 2.0 bc i have faith that someone will hack it and there close to it. I say 1 more month and you can play games on your 2.0

I don't have faith.

I will not upgrade my Firmware untill they have the 2.0 fixed.
It's stupid to upgrade for the pretty little web browser and tiny updates.
It's not worth it.
No good games have come out for the pSP yet.
Only fighting -sport-and driving- **NO GOOD RPG's**
Knowing how good the emulators run only a fool would upgrade.

agreed,, its definitely not worth upgrading since there's pretty much only crap games out there.

So once you boot a game with a forced update, it will install it without asking?
That sucks!
