i have a few questions before i buy a psp. First,What firmware do i have to update to so that i can use applications found in the internet.Second, Is the GBA emulator for PSP working at full speed and is the graphics same or better? ( Esp, for Golden Sun,my favorite game) Third, Does the PS1 emulator for the PSP stands a chance to run at full speed in the future?Fourth,How do i play the games i downloaded from internet.Fifth,What good games are there for psp? thanks

good questions heres the anwsers first you do not want to update if you buy a psp make sure it is 2.71 or below so that you can downgrade to a 1.5(from there you can run all of the fastest homebrew and the features of a 2.71 firmware with devhook)
secound yes
the homebrew gba emulator is full speed
third
if the homebrew emu doesnt work out you can just use $onys when it gets devhooked
fourth
once you have a 1.5 you can just pop them in the games folder on you memory stick (especially if you have custom firmware(easy install and free))

fifth I like need for speed there is a great gta coming out.Tekken dark resurection is good.n64 games are good(homebrew)

You can tell if is a TA-082 by the box here

if you get a ta-082 board, you will not be able to use 2.71 special edition with easy main-menu access to homebrew....but you will be able to use homebrew enabler hack in regular 2.71, just a little more inconvenient...but if you get one with 2.80 or higher you're screwed for now

Wow so many ??? First you have to try to not buy a TA-082 PSP second you can play a world of games with over 40 some great emulators and hundreds of apps third you can play gba at full speed even golden sun. And what do you mean better then how can a game be better in a counsil its been emulated on!
