Which Firmware is the best to own and why

Is not improved any.
The only updates to it is that in 2.6 it supports chinese fonts and some other launguages.
Its basicly the same browser thats in 2.0

I've got the best of both worlds... oops i mean 3 worlds lol I love my PSP's!

I Guess it's useless to compare 1.5 and 2.0. 1.5 is better, because you can run 2.0 on 1.5 PSPs, so, if you say "2.0 is the best firmware", you are meaning that 1.5 is the best firmware, too.

So, you can use a 1.5 PSP to load 2.0 firmware and play SOCOM and GTA UMD...

So, the question is, "Which Firmware is the best to own: 1.5 or 2.6?" and not 1.5 or 2.0

To be honest. ive never tried to load the the 2.0 firmware on a 1.5
I just updated.
However if im not mistaken.
loading the 2.0 firmware on a 1.5 psp.
isnt as stable as just haveing the 2.0 firmware.
Ive also heard the browser support through that method is severly lacking along with other issues.
Then ive also heard. loading contstant firmware updates through that method can also brick a psp. So I only mess with somthing that dangerous- rarely.
No cling to your own opinion, But I repeat my own statement,
2.0 in my opinion, True 2.0 is the best firmware.
At least in my book

I'd have to say 2.0 is the best, since you've got all the new commercial games to play (well, the good ones like GTA, at least :P), and there's a ton of homebrew for it also. and if you want, there's always the possibility to downgrade.

I, of course, technically own both V1.5 and V2.0, since my brother never plays his 2.0 one anyway. Hombrew and old games on my 1.5, and newer games on the 2.0. I must say, it kicks ass

1.0 is the best

**Addictedd** · January 29th, 2006, 14:27

unfortunately i have 2.6

but i'd say 2.0 is the best, because of fanjita!

If I load a 2.0 on a 1.5, can I use the browser for sure? I know i'd be able to play SOCOM so thats good, but with WIFI and online too?

Does anyone know whether this method would brick the PSP as Shadowpuppet has heard?

ITS S-H-A-D-O-W-P-R-O-P-H-E-@ FREAKEN-T

SHADOWPROPHET, say it with me.
shadowprophet.
secondly, I have said it could brick a psp.
I Didnt say it will every time.

Thirdly. all homebrew holds the potential to harm your psp if you dont know what your doing.
Thats why its a try at your own risk kind of thing.
Anything you do with your psp thats not licsned by sony is not covered in the warrente. Therefore if you harm it by trying certain things with it. Sony wont cover that.

And yes I have heard of people bricking there psp. by upgradeing/ downgradeing too often. and by useing certain firmware loaders.

Shadowprophet.
not shadowpuppet.
If I cared the least little bit.
that would have most likely urked me a little
