I loved 1.5... to me it was the most amazing thing and i never saw any sense to update due to devhook being able to emulate all the latest

( it took me until 3.03 OE came out that i finnaly updated to cfw )

to me.... 1.5 will always be the golden firmware no doubt about it. even today one of my psps runs 1.5 poc-2

1.5 is still the most used and most developed for kernel ( even though that with slim's release its making 1.5 kernel coding obsolete ) but still... there is homebrew out there that requires 1.5 and most of it i love... so unquestionably... my vote for golden firmware once again goes to!

1.5

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

P.S. man, discussing 1.5 has brought me back to the good ol days of swaploit, kxploit, wipeout webbrowser hack, ect ,ect , ect.... those were the good ol days

I was thinking about upping to cfw 390 is there any big changes?

Matter of opinion I guess, since no firmware version has it all.

I'd say 1.50 if it could do full screen for encoded movies.

I'd say firmware 1.00/1.50. Without them, you probably wouldnt have cfw.

For me 3.52M33 was the best.

100 % agreement

3.52 was the best so far .. best custumizing capabilities, great compatibility, no crashed or errors so far, ...

3.71 is good as well, but I personally have a kind of a "strange" feeling using it ... there was so much trouble at first when te CFW came out ... and still I get strange error messages like "unable to copy file to destination folder" or similar when I try to flash to FLASH0 ...

And since I don'T need this new fashionable crap in newer releases, I'll stay with 3.71 for as long as I can ...

But 1.0/1.5 were very good firmares, too! No fanzy features, just the "raw meat"

I loved my PSP when it came streight from Japan (a REAL PSP-1000 model

) and I flipped in the UMD of Bleach 2 and later Wipeout Pure!

1.50 does show full screen. You sure you encoded them at the correct resolution? If I recall correctly, it just couldn't show them at the full resolution of UMD movies.

umnnn... to keep this on topic, I'd say 3.71 m33-5 with 1.5 addon (for Phat) and popsloader has been the most stable with the most features... all things considered (such as... slim users never had 1.5).

The most technically astounding? Yet to come! That time machine... 1.5 on the slim will be the ULTIMATE on the achievement scale!

I own both a Phat and a slim so I'm unbiased.
