My original 1.5 PSP got me into homebrew. I knew that it could pirate games but better yet, it has tons of homebrew and emulators. Thats when i started researching on PSP homebrew and found my 2 main sites for information on it. This site and another one that shall not be named. lol

My first contact with the emulators and emulation was back in 1999, when i first played Pokemon Red on my pc =)

What revolutionized my interest was the PSP =)

Started with it in first/second grade. I was introduced by my bro. I found out more gradually afterwards

the pc got me interested with the epsxe ps1 and pj64 n64 emulators and then the xbox got of really interested because it took the complication away from playing emulators and now i own almost every cartridge game ever made for them

I started with emulation with a friend of mine showing a 1st version of a nes emulator. even without sound it was wonderful for me. I got a PC only to play this emulator... and afer became nesticle and genecyst.

for me xbox is the best emulator plataform nowdaws... who knows if ps3 with the linux don´t overpass it.

For Emulation: Back in the 1997, with Mame, Snes97, Nesticle, Callus, Genecyst, and others, in sites like Daves Classics and The Dump (remember been so excited with the Dracula X project, something that looks almost impossible in that time)
For Home Brew: My Dreamcast.

Sorry, my english is bad.

Long story, here goes...

It all started during the Super Bowl 2008. I don't like football (unless you consider soccer to be football, in which case, go you), so I was on the internet. my little brother was complaining about not being able to play nintendo while the game was on, so i decided to see if i could find something I could do for him, so i looked up a way to see if it could be done on the psp. And then, after some digging, I found out about Daedelus for the psp. I put it on, but got an error message. So then, I decided to look in to that. In this research I heard about a "pandora's battery" that could be made. Well, by this time it was 11:00, and I went to bed. the next morning, I woke up and kept up the research until I found out how to get one of these "pandora's battery", but the downfall was, no homebrew-enabled psp. So, I ordered, one, converted my 1 gb mem stick into a Magic Memory Stick, plopped it into my psp, and wham! a fresh 1.50 fw psp, soon upgraded to 3.71 m33, and then to 3.80 m33, and now I'm lovin' it. one side note:

psp full bricks: 8
psp semi-bricks:2
psp "unrecoverable" bricks: 1 (took me 4 hrs to fix)...
