Ok not all of us can afford 2 psp's(kids,rent and bills)but I bet if you had a 2.6 psp you would have downgraded too.A camera...come on plz look how far the PS2 eyetoy went and a ps1 emulator?For what!? If I can play thoes games on my PS2...look im not trying to knock the new fw's but alot of us prefer to play games that we cant get any more or just are not coming out for any systems(True homebrew)!Just my oppinion.All I can say is to each his own!

yes and i could play those other games on my SNES 20 years ago, my n64 10 years ago and i can still play my GameBoy games on a proper GameBoy system. just stop by eBay or your local second hand store, youre sure to find a NES.
and yes to each his own opinion, its just that my opinion is more logical.
EDIT: oh and i havent and wont downgrade my 2.6. waiting for proper kernel access. im moving towards the future.

Logical?Because that's what you believe?Look if that's what you believe then more power to you but dont knock the ppl that did dgrade...and like I said before if you had one psp you most likely would have dgraded.

Modchip = rather have a 4gb memstick
plus its a pain in the ass to install unless youre a pro or know one.

Chances are you dev hook will have full support for 2.6 before you get 2.6 working WITHOUT GTA in full kernel mode. Why would a coder spend his valueable time when you can just downgrade and emu 2.6 ? Moving fowards doesnt mean running the latest firmware.

If youre a chicken $#@! and are affraid to use the working downgrade well tough $#@! for you its a catch 22.

Eitherway look for 2.6 dev hook before a full working kernel mode in 2.6 WITHOUT GTA

Downgrading is the best way to go, for now. Mostly cuz it's reversable. I can choose to upgrade once it becomes neccessary to do so (and it won't be, if I can't play homebrew). A bricked PSP using the downgrader, would for me, be returnable under my extended warranty. Not likely if I attempted to solder a modchip, which in my opinion is too expensive at this point. I might pay a hundred bucks for a modchip and labor (installation), but that's not an option right now. Then again, the downgrader may've reduced demand for the modchip, which could affect pricing.

On the downside, that thing which must never be discussed here, was the first thing I tried, once I downgraded, though I had no previous interest in doing such a thing. Power currupts.
