Is Downgrading the Best Way To Go

[Dickhead]

Well My PSP is staying at 2.6 forever or being downgraded to 1.5 forever. My wifes PSP will be updated to the latest firmware so hopefuly I will have the best for both worlds.

personally i rather be in 1.5 because i dont want to be loading up a game to just play my homebrew stuff but i dont care what happens just as long they get some type of kernal running to everybody's psp which would mean the coders can spend their time coding for the faster kernal mode and release faster software (n64 and gba of course) and not waste their time on the crappy user mode IMO.

lucky basterd.....if i had money i would buy a new psp 2.71 and downgrade my 2.6 to 1.5 grrrr...

[felonyr301]

and ohh yea thanks devhook i can say fu*k higher firmware lool but seriously i dont have any reason to be higher than 1.5

when i got my psp it was at 1.52 and i was so pissed off that i couldnt run homebrew. but then the 2.0 update came out and i saw that it had a web browser so i updated but the browser is way to slow for me. i still wanted to run homebrew then the downgrader came out and i downgraded. but then gta required so i updated again then when i beat it 100% i downgraded. however i wanted to try the cheat device. so i have upgraded and downgraded many times already but tah was from 1.5 - 2.0. and now i just use devhook to run gta.

i would never give up the literally thousands of games i have on 1.5 for one or 2 games that are good and need an updated psp. and to me it just makes sense to play modern games that take hours or days to complete on a home system rather than on a portable anyways.
same with movies, it just seems pointless to watch them on a tiny screen with headphones (i am guessing newer umd movies require updates as well)
now the newcoming remake of GNG makes me drool but it's not worth giving up everything from atari to soon to be n64 on my 1.5
i really need a new memory stick though hehehe 1 gig seems kinda small recently with all the amazing things coming out.

Yes, downgrading is better in the long run, with devHook you can currently play the games that require 2.5 fw or less... It's very beneficial and I just downgraded my 2.6 to 1.5 last night and I use devHook with great vigor now.

I eagerly await devHook to emulate 2.6!

like i said before, it is very easy for sony to stop our ability to load firmware through emulation

Exactly the same with me, and also my brother has a PSP and doesnt use home brew so i can use that to play my megaman powered up, field comander and stuff.
