Yup 1.5 forever. It's not like the games coming out are any good anyways. I just enjoy taking my neogeo games, nes, snes games around wherever I go.

You dont have to upgrade. Also the current trend is that homebrew has spread to every major firmware upgrade. Everyone has said its impossible, homebrew will never run on 1.00 (Nem), 1.50 (Killer-X), 2.00 (Toc2rta), 2.50 (Fanjita), 2.60 (Fanjita)... but guess what it all has been done by very talented programmers.

So no need to get angry, when new features are added, so are new holes.

I'm still sticking with 1.50, I'll explore the features of this firmware if MPH ever continues his Firmware Launcher

[Chackan]

Well, until someone hacks this new firmware, i'm not really upgrading, no way.

I think that sony should add more interesting funtionalities but oh well..
