Good question! I've often wondered the same thing. There have been so many reports of things going wrong over the years. It is quite frankly scary when you read about it. Its the reason I stayed on 1.50 firmware for so long. It wasn't until Dark_AleX's OE firmware in December that I finally made the switch.

I've come to learn that most of the strange problems people report are from their own carelessness. Be it not following directions and taking certain precautionary measures, or messing with stuff they don't know about, i.e., FLASH.

A lot of problems seem to be related to custom themes which is why I've largely stayed away from custom theming my PSP's. But even those problems seem to be from people using the wrong files, etc.

SONY loves it when people brick their PSP's due to homebrew. It gives more validity to all of their BS "security vulnerability" firmware updates. SONY's aim is to have the mass majority think of homebrew as something that will inevitably cause problems with your PSP.

That is obviously not true and I've never encountered any problem that has harmed my PSP. I have not even "semi-bricked" a PSP. And I've used many downgraders, DevHook, custom firmwares, homebrew & emulators, etc. etc. etc.

So the bottom line is that if you do a little research instead of jumping the gun, you will not experience any problems with PSP homebrew.

That's right.
I can remember just before using the 3.03 downgrader, I did some researching and found it was safe enough. :thumbup:

Sweet, thanks guys and the Team M33, I just donated has anyone else??

Through recovery you have fake region set to japan, disable the fake region and youll be fine.

damn, these russians are amazing! they update their firmware every two days!

i have to say it tops dark alex's firmware

Shorter Loading Times
Longer Battery Life
No annoying UMD noises

I am not one to complain about little bugs, but this one is really annoying and this fix hasn't addressed it. I have a problem that when I am in the XMB and click USB connect, the system hangs requiring hard reboot. It works fine from the recovery menu.

Also some people's umd drives are totally busted ex: you broke the umd loading compartment not being able to load a umd at all. This will fix their problem. Also love this, we had so many wishes for people to pick up where dark_alex left off and i think we found them. I can't wait to see what the future has in store :)
