Wow you're really detailed in your explanations

So basically if I see a "modded" or m33-x thing at the firmware, it means that the PSP is custom?
I'm trying to look for second hand PSPs because many people seem to regret buying it as it gets boring. Though for me I'm not really buying it as a gaming device. Gaming comes later when Kingdom Hearts : Birth by Sleep is released

.
For 'ahem' games, and PS1 games + its emulator, how much space does it normally take for a single game? I'm not sure 4GB would be enough for me as I will probably split half for gaming and half for videos.
Also, theres this service someone is offering to mod PSPs for a cheaper price. Should I trust this and get an original PSP for him to mod?
hehe,thanks.
Yes,any firmware with odd extensions behind it is a custom firmware (SE,OE,WC,M33,GEN etc).
I bought my psp three years ago (after UPSR results) and i'm still enjoying it,and no,i don't use my psp as a gaming device only.
Well,it depends on the game itself.Some games like God Of War takes up about 1.69gb where else games like Lumines barely requires 80mb.Emulators and other homebrews are small in size so you don't need to worry about it.
I have a 32mb stick for my developments,1gb stick for homebrew/photos and 4gb stick for music/games/videos.
I would advise against getting a psp with official firmware on it as new psp units come with new mother boards which are,at the moment,unhackable.So,i'd say,don't take the risk,and go get a unit with custom firmware installed on it.
