first...get a bigger memory stick...you can buy a 1 gig for $30

second...upgrade to 2.71 and then downgrade with the easy downgrader...the reason I say downgrade from 2.71 is because you have kerenel access there and it will completely wipe the flash before reflashing 1.5 on to the nand...we never had kernel access on 2.5 or 2.6

oh man you make it sound scary lol but ok im mean whats better wiith kernal acces? i dont have $30.... man... it says 32mb card on the box but only 30mb is avalible... that sucks... oh and were do i get the 2.71 update?

psp-hacks.com had an easy installer. this way, you don't have to update and now all you have to do is read the onscreen instructions.

Here's the link to the easy 2.71 downgrader:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7YJ2RFX3

Once it's downloaded just unzip it and run the exe and follow the directions. The reason kernel access is important is because without it you can't wipe the nand before flashing the new firmware and that can lead to bugs. As far as running this it is possible to brick a psp anytime you flash anything to the nand...however if you follow the directions exactly then you shouldn't have any problems. Running homebrew programs and emulators won't brick a system because they don't access the nand. FYI the N64 emu isn't up to speed yet and doesn't have sound...the best working emu's are NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, SMS, Gen, Mame, TG16, and a few others.

oh i know the n64 isnt up to speed but idc i jsut want to see it lol but i would like the genessis 2

actually since you've only got a 32 mb ms...i don't know if you'll even be able to get any n64 roms to fit. You'll be lucky to get the snes emu and about 4 roms.
