not many noobs have 1.5 you should make an app list for 2.01- 2.60
The summer sizzlers article was a great idea. Unfortunately, I though it was rather limited with only 10 titles total. And I thought it was also flawed in that it wasn't based on popular opinion, but was instead just one persons opinion. Also, I can't code but I wanted to contribute to the homebrew community in some manner.
Thus I figure it would be useful to newbies to make a 10 best list for three different categories based upon input from many people. The top 5 in each category can be considered must haves. Later on, I or someone else can write an article on them.
Well here's my list. Please suggest changes as I haven't tried every app or game available yet.
Apps/Utilities
1. Devhook
2. MPH Downgrader
3. GTAEloader (and Exploits too)
4. PSPRadio
5. PMP Mod
6. iRShell
7. UMDIZO loader
8. PSPBrew/PSP Unpacker
9. PSP Video 9
10. GTA Cheat Device
Honorable Mentions:
Links2 - Made unneccesary by Devhook or would be on list.
Anything I forgot on the list.... AFIKM, and the best PDF reader etc.
Emulators
Refer to PSPFan's quote below for a better list.
Honorable Mentions: ??
Games
1. Beats of Rage
2. Quake w/ MP support
Callisto
Iris - Early but very impressive
Super Mini Mario - Whichever Mario has the insanely good graphics.
Smashgpsp
Super Mario War
Squarez
Doom
PSPool
AirHockey
Pang
...
As you can see, I need help with the Game list. I've played far too many homebrew games to keep track of them all.
I want input on changes to make to the list. Once we can get to a fairly agreed upon list, anyone who wants to, (or if no one wants I'll do it), can write up a brief article with descriptions and download links to the latest version of the homebrews.
Inspired by the failure of my previous effort... http://wikicity.org/Homebrew
Another Category being considered: Top 10 best webportals and websites designed for PSPs
Would like nominations.
Edit: Changes to list based on feedback below
Edit 2: Here's a great reply from PSPFan with probably a better list...

Another good emulator I use is PCE (PC engine). Its got some quite good games on it: Pacland, Vigilante, Bonks Revenge, Parasol Stars etc.
ScummVM is a quality Lucas Arts programme that plays games like Monkey island (1&2), Leisure Suit Larry etc.
And a fav homebrew game of mine is 'Pang', its simple but fun.
#8 on the emulator list should be e[mulator] for PSP. I've never owned a Turbografx before, but some of the games are really fun.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll edit the changes into the original posts lists once I get a little bit more feedback.
I don't think it's fruitless to have one for 1.5 pspers. This isn't just for newbs. This is also a good reference for people who haven't been on this site for a few months. When the article is done, they'll be able to see what quality programs have been made, or updated to a newer version since they came. Plus there are plenty of old psp getting sold on ebay for well under 200. Heck I just typed in ... psp (1.50,1.5,1.52,1.51) ...in the search box including both the title and describition in the search and got a great one for my bro two days ago.
I do think it would be great to make similar lists for 2.6 pspers too by people who have a 2.6 and tried out various programs for it. I just don't have any experience with one.
yeah monkey island is so much fun on the go
I love Monkey Island 1 and 2....
The early Lucas Arts Games were the best...
Bad that all studios donīt develope some stuff
like this...
i agree its a great emulator and it also runs swan colorOriginally Posted by SSaxdude
As far as I am concerned MPH Downgrader should be at the top of every list because without it there would be less 1.5's for people to use and Devs to work with. I see it as one of the most important homebrews in the entire Psp scene.
Second is MPH Firmware Launcher because this allowed other devs to learn more about firmware emulation possibilities, third is MPH Game Loader because after this other devs created more enhanced loaders and I am sure it has alot to do with Devhook being the best loader ever. I heard that Devhook uses some of MPH Firmware Launchers source but I am not sure.
If you do not take into account the stepping stones, the source code and information learned from MPH Game Loader and Firmware Launcher then Devhook is number one on my list. Many homebrews wouldn't exist without the other.
scummVM emulator is awesome! (should be #8)
as for games... duke nukem 3d port perhaps.
