I return a total n00b

Hi, i haven't posted in this forum for about two years since i first got my psp and was obsessed with all the new homebrews and emulators comming out. However i've just regenerated an interest in it but find i'm completely out of date in everything.

I'm considering updating to one of the new custom firmwares so i can play old psx games, i know this forum doesn't like to talk about playing "back-up isos" of my "own" psp games as well but is that made easier on the custom firmwares or can i not do that?

Basically i want to put a new firmware on my psp but i'm very confused as to what to do. If anyone could offer me some good advice as to which new firmware to put on, especially as it seems to be easy to run psx games from memory stick as well now but i'm not sure how to do it. I know there are a lot of guides on the topics which at one point i would have found easy to use but the truth is i'm now so out of date as i've said before i don't have a clue.

I'm running on v1.50 still which i upgraded to from v1.0.

Thanks

I'm not sure about 3.51 M33 for now i'm just sticking to 3.40 oe

I suggest 3.40 OE.

Its stable! while m33 has its issues!

What features does 3.40 OE have?
Can you use basically everything the latest firmwares have, and has it the psx emulator? To get that do i need to have a certain firmware, i've seen a lot of stuff that revolves around 2.71 firmware i'm not sure whats special about it i just keep seeing it.
Can i go straight from 1.50 to 3.40 OE?

Yes you can go straight from 1.50 to 3.40 and it includes the PSX emulator and the main features are included in the recovery mode which allow for the PSP to be recovered if you managed to semi brick it and also allows you to modify you PSP and add different modules to it
