Finally I Took the Plunge

[wraggster]

Ive had a v1.0 PSP since the release day in Japan all those years ago and not once was i interested in updating, not even when the releases of Devhook for v1.5 occured.

But recently with the release of Dark Alex`s firmware that supports the full speed Playstation emulator that shook my resolve, i was tempted to buy another PSP but my wife and bank balance didnt agree so last night i updated from v1.0 to v1.5 then onto the Dark Alex firmware.

Now its onto the new generation of firmware, my only hope is that Dark Alex and co give support to PAL Playstation games.

One funny thing is that with the release of the firmware/emulator that i have gone out and brought all my fave PS1 games to play on my PS2.

Who else finally took the plunge with the new firmware from v1.0 or v1.5 ?

Welcome to the future, dear Wraggster.
I was like you, holding on to 1.5 for dear life. I took the plunge with 3.02Oe and have never looked back! You will not be dissapointed!

I got PSPdemon to too BTW you can convert your PAL games to NTSC and they should work on the PSP

I was saved by the 2.0 to 1.5 downgrader and was afraid to ever do anything else....I took the plunge to 3.02oe-a so I didn't have to use devhook anymore (liked using memstick over UMD's to carry my games)
Still afraid to go higher...don't know if there any advantages since I never had a PS1 and don't plan on emulating.

So for all you out there...Should I go up to 3.03OE or stay at 3.02...I can still take 3.03 back to 1.5 right?

wraggsters a conformist?! When I first downgraded and was able to use homebrew again, I naturally stayed on 1.5 since I knew it so well. Of course once I started to really read about what has been up in recent months in the psp-homebrew community, I found people singing praises of DA's new "Custom" Firmware. What was the turning factor for me was that It used the 1.5 kernal AND had the benefits of 1.0 simultaneously, while making it possible to play new games that used 3.02. You Wraggster, as well the majority of the psphomebrew community, have made a good decision in choosing o use DA's firmware.

me too when i heard about 2.71 se i never upgraded to it i felt it was just going to suck and that 1.50 was loads better, i was wrong though once i updated to 3.03 oe-b i couldnt be anymore happier

the best part is i save like 60 mb of space if i was using devhook

Well well... Only yesterday did I upgrade a model PSP1000 from 1.0 to 3.03 OE-B. The guy in question had 3 PSPs, and is happy with this upgrade. The amount of new potential higher firmwares give you is quite amazing. I only wish there was a simple guide to modifying 1.00 EBOOTS for 3.03 or similar. I'm not even sure how to do it myself

I've not yet switched, but I'm getting increasingly tempted. It would be nice to run my new games without having to run DevHook first.

once you go 3.02 OE or higher, you wont go bck!!
