QUOTE(plankton @ Feb 5 2007, 11:54 AM) was just looking for a place to ask noob q's.. haha so now, any version of psp can be used to play homebrew, with a firmware upgrade? or r there versions which cannot be upgraded? also hows the battery life of the psp when playing games @ watching movies Sony's official firmware upgrade = no homebrew. Dark_Alex's custom firmware upgrade = welcome homebrew. you'll know it's a custom fw when there are alphabets behind the fw version. e.g. "3.10 OE-A" Standard battery (1800mAh) lasts 4-5 hours. Depending on whether u're watching from UMD or memorystick cos reading UMD consumes more power. This post has been edited by King83: Feb 5 2007, 11:59 AM |

dont forget,wifi significantly degrades your battery life.
if offline you can get 5 hours,i think you can more or less get 3 hours from wifi play

You also can disable the region lock for UMD movies with this magical custom firmware. This post has been edited by tot31: Feb 5 2007, 01:06 PM |

One more thing a list of people that can do the downgrading and upgrading firmware would be good so beginers can contact them for their service.

Homebrew compatibility issues? Do you mean which firmware can run which homebrews? QUOTE(mambo @ Feb 5 2007, 02:23 PM) oh i think u can put how to identify ta-082 mobo.. just put some link that have this tutorial. ... Yup, that's a good one. Will add it ASAP. Thanks. |

Maybe you need to tell them the difference between Sony's FW & custom fw.
Let them know the reason why sony wants us to upgrade.

Homebrew Questions
- Can my PSP run homebrews?
- So, which is better: V1.50, V3.10 or V3.10 OE? (edit)

I've answered the two questions by editing one question. Check out So, which is better: V1.50, V3.10 or V3.10 OE? under Homebrew Questions. |
