Which Firmware is the best to own and why

[wraggster]

Out of all the Different firmwares that have been released for the PSP which is the one that gives you the best balance of gaming and homebrew or just homebrew if you arent interested in gaming as much.

Heres the options:

v1.0
v1.5
v1.52 (ugh)
v2.0
v2.01
v2.5
v2.6

So which is your favourite firmware ?

For me i have 2 PSPs a V1.0 and v2.6 so im fairly lucky in the respect that i can play the latest games and play the best homebrew too, which are your favourites ?

[Nono-O]

Firmware 1.5 is the best

[shiftybill]

I had v2.0 for about a day then i downgraded and never looked back

So... 1.5 rulz

[Ichijoe]

I toss my Vote for v2.00. Fanjitas' EBoot loader Rulz!

Hmmmmm. 1.50 easy too. and less headache

[DraconumPB]

2.00 is good for people who like GTA such as myself... there are a FEW things I'd like to downgrade for.. but weighing the pros and cons of that. I play GTA alot now...

To be honest, since getting GTA i don't play emu anymore, i can amuse myself almost endlessly with it, heh.

1.5

You can do Whatever you want with this Firmware. Play the best homebrews, just need to select GAME menu and press X. Can Play ISO Games [Sorry for that but... that's an advantage...] and even play AVC videos, access internet and use Location Free (Using Firmware Loader).

So, Why am I going to update my PSP? If I have all that 2.5 can offer using Firmware loader [2.6 I Guess it's not compatible YET]

1.5

Can Play ISO Games [Sorry for that but... that's an advantage...] and even play AVC videos, access internet and use Location Free (Using Firmware Loader).

I agree its better for ISO Games but only legal backups and if I could play GTA on my 1.5 I would have no reason to want to upgrade.

However, if I could play the legal backups on a 2.00 and use all apps and homebrew on it I would upgrade.

One last thing, if your wondering why im saying play legal backups its because I have the games but trying to play World Snooker with the loading times is just too frustrating and uses a lot of battery therefore playing from memory stick just cuts out all that loading and battery time and makes the game more enjoyable when its faster
