I just got a used PSP for christmas, and I have no idea what firmware is or what I should download to my PSP, could some one give me some idea what direction to go?

Go all the way to the left ,to SETTINGS, on the main menu.
Go down to SYSTEM SETTINGS.
Press X, and go down to SYSTEM INFORMATION.
Press X to find your firmware version.
Your chances of getting some useful replies will improve if you post what f/w you're on.

well after I got it up and running I took it online and updated it to ver 3.80

Homebrew isn't supported by Official F/w 3.80, other than a few
apps that run in the web browser.
You can download and play all the latest game demos (google game demos+psp).
Custom themes can change the appearance of the XMB.
MP3 download is supported (use save link target in the browser).
Video in PSP format is hard to find online, but you can find some
if you hunt around.

you can always buy a datel TOOL battery for about £15, or convert your battery to a pandora if you know anyone with a custom firmware, use this to install a custom firmware of your choice and hey presto, emulation apps and iso games are yours.
hope this helps

He means convert a regular PSP battery to a Pandora battery, which will allow you to downgrade...You can't screw with homebrew with your firmware that high, as previously stated as well, you need someone who has a PSP with CFW or 1.5FW I am not sure which, to make the battery, just don't use your current battery because I think once you make one pandora it can't be used regularly...Correct me if I am wrong.

A Pandora battery can be converted back to normal, just be sure to backup the battery info in the pandora tool before converting it.
