I updated my US PSP to the new Japanese firmware and thus far am impressed. Still not perfect...could really use a keyboard, but the built-in browser does a decent job...better than the Wipeout hack! This post is from my PSP.
Sound's good. I'm not too much into hard core gaming so I'llprobably not worry about homebrew games. All I really want to do is play some of the good games out there now, and be able to log somewhat surf the net. I think I'll probably wait for the US 2.0 upgrade though since it supposed to come out soon. I just bought mine a few days ago so I don't want to risk loosing any warranty right now.akira3d said:Hackers cracked 1.0 and 1.5, so people have been running homebrew apps on it for quite some time now. Mostly emulators for older game systems and a few other interesting developments, but nothing major just yet.
I foolishly upgraded to 1.51 when it was initially posted (before the 1.50 exploit became available), so I haven't been able to try any of these homebrew apps on my own PSP (I know many who will never update their 1.50 PSPs, and they have gigs of cool stuff they run on their PSPs). Since I had already upgraded past the exploit, I figured I'd rather have the new features of the 2.0 udpate than wait for someone to FINALLY post a downgrader.
I suspect more effort will be placed into hacking 2.0 than there will be in downgrading to 1.5. The MP4 AVC and Web browsing features alone are worth having.
The U.S. version of 2.0 still hasn't been posted.
