Thanks! Now I need to just go and get Lumines and to a PC to download the fw.

There's no denying that the Apple iPod is the most popular MP3 player in the world. It's so popular, in fact, that it has bordered on becoming the generic term for MP3 player

Spam.

Not even doom music justifies spambots.

First off, if anyone has posted a thread about this before, I'm sorry for the repeat, I just didn't feel like looking through all the pages of topics and checking out the ones with nondescript titles. Sue me. Anyways, I have some questions for anyone who knows the answers about psp custom fws. I am currently running on 3.40.

1. Is it possible to switch to custom fw from 3.40? I am a noob when it comes to coding, so if this can be done, please use layman's terms.
2. What does the custom fw (the ones designed by dark_alex, as those seem to be the ones everyone says are the best.) have that the sony fw doesn't?
3. Can it run any homebrews or just certain ones?
4. Can the custom fw be switched back to the sony fw if necessary?
5. Does the custom fw run all psp games normally?
6. Do I run a risk of bricking my psp if I want to install custom fw?
7. If I need to downgrade to get custom fw, can I do so without bricking?

That's it for now, I know, noob questions, but I'd really appreciate it if anyone can answer them.

basically if you have the lumines game you can downgrade to sony fw 1.5 and then on top of that you can run a custom firmware 3.40 which alows you to have all the features of the lastest sony fw but also lets you play homebrew etc as well.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. If and when I can get a copy of lumines, I'll probably need some more help, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
