Hi all,
Im a brand new psp owner (slim model 2000) and havent heard anything about firmwares or custom stuff till now,so Im abit confused here.Hope you all can help me outĀ
1)Basically to play "ahem" games off the net,you'd need custom firmware right?What version would that be of the firmware?(Latest version)
2)Once flashed with the custom firmware,can we unflash it back to its original state? (Sony supported,able to auto dl updates online,etc like a regular brand new psp)
3)What other positive traits are there in flashing your psp besides "being an illegal gamer"?
Hope everypne can help me here,i joined the forums just so i can get answers for these questions.
P;s// If my questions were already answered at a previous point in time,please lead me to it by providing the linkĀ

Alright,first of all,welcome to the psp world!
1)Yes,you'll need custom firmware if you want to do so.The latest version is 5.00M33,but versions like 3.52m33 --> 4.01m33 are just as good.
2)Yes,you can revert it back to official firmware using a Pandora's Battery,but no,you will never want to do so,trust me

3)You can enjoy homebrew which are third party games,applications and many more developed by fellow psp users who expertise in C/C++,Lua and other languages.You can also enjoy plugins,themes and many other cool features.
