Yeah, I was in the same situation as you, but I decided to just go for it. It is up to you though.

Wait, now there is a PSP/VIDEO folder? Um... Sony just keeps taking ideas from the homebrew community...

No, the VIDEO, PICTURE, and MUSIC folders are on the root of the memory stick, not in the psp folder.

Waiting for the Booster to save the day.

yeah it will be nice if booster can emulate this firmware cause the video rss would be nice but i dont want to loose my homebrew. i already use devhook to emulate 2.71 so i can use flash and rss but i cant wait for video rss.

Well, this new firmware can be dumped but Sony changed the decryption keys again. Also the IPL filename has changed.

Give it time. Actually I think it might be better if people stop trying to decrypt and hack the PSP firmware until 3.0 comes out with the PSOne EMU. I only say this because if all of Sony's firmwares keep getting hacked, they may finally hit the nail on the head and figure out a way to make a super secure firmware that may not be able to be emulated. And I REALLY want to be able to play PSOne games on my 1.50 PSP.

They have been known to counter exploits relatively fast. Remember firmware 2.01 after the 2.00 downgrader?

The only feature I find useful is the new way to play videos without having to name them ridiculous names like MAQ54321.MP4 ---> But how does this work with thumbnail files? Can you have a movie named movie.mp4 and the corresponding thumbnail file named movie.thm?
