Which Firmware is the best to own and why

[IndianCheese]

Well, thats a dumb question. It depends on what you look for.

Homebrew - 1.00
Videos - 2.60
Music - 2.60
Pictures - 2.00
Internet - 2.60
Games - 2.00
Ad Hoc file sharing - 2.00 (PSpoofer)

If people knew how fast homebrew loads on 1.0, we would have a 1.50 > 1.0 downgrader. A shame for us 1.0 users that Humma and MPH only had a 1.50 to make their apps for.

1.5 for now, but as soon as Worms comes out for PSP, I will no longer care about firmware versions.
So unless if SNES and PS1 emus are working at full capacity by then, then I'll get the highest firmware version required to play Worms.
WORMS RULES!

2.0

you get the web browser and backround features and you can run newer games. Can't argue there

2.0 for Grand Theft Auto!

Lets face it.
Homebrew is great.
But the greatest thing that ever happend on psp homebrew, Snes tyl .
Works on a 2.0 anyway.
Plus. As good as homebrew is, the day will come when you will want to do somthing more with your psp.
Thats why I think 2.0 offers the most flexibility right now.
Besides. socom forced me to.
And I was so pleased with the results when it did, I just never went back.

Ps. If it wasnt for fanjita tho, I would have probibly went back.(although I have heard of roumers of people bricking there psps by downgrading)
But since I for the most part still have homebrew. plus I am able to play my newer titles. And have a pretty spiffy web browser, Im good where im at

1.5 through and through. While it has it's limitations, I'm expecting that a lot of work will go into a hacked version of 1.5 to allow for upgraded features and the playing of supposedly firmware restricted games.

firmware restricted games?

Theres a reson. socom and gta wont work on a 1.50.
There are elements in the newer firmware that just arnt preasent in the older versions.
sure lord of the rings could work ona 1.5
But gta and socom call upon and use elements presnet in the newer firmware versions thats just arnt present in the older versions.

And as for a hacked entire firmware version. Yeah I believe its possible. But its a long long way off. what your dreaming of hasnt even been atempted yet. What were messing with now are exploits. Hacked frimware versions right now is just a pipe dream,, sadly

how much better is the browser on a 2.6? mine was 2.0 just for awhile when the downgrader came out, now I am at 1.5 again. I haven't been using it as much as I did when I got it and been thinking of getting a gp2x in its place, if they ever get the battery life up.

anyway, 1.5 for easy use of homebrew microbrews.
