Custom Firmware

After telling myself I wouldn't update to custom firmware, and I'd instead just wait for later firmwares to be cracked, I went and did it anyway.

My main motivation was that I had gotten Ratchet and Clank for the PSP, which required FW 2.82 (I only had 2.80). I wasn't going to not play the game, so I was left with a couple choices. Give up homebrew, or use custom firmware.

After some researching, I found some instructions on getting the custom firmware on, which involved downgrading back to 1.5 first. But all went well.

Ratchet and Clank didn't seem to like the custom firmware though. It wouldn't start. Back to google I went, and found some settings that I had to change in the firmware to make it work. I had to set the CPU speed to 333 for the UMD, and also had to set the region to America and free the region lock or w/e.

I was also able to use AutoPopstation to get some of my PlayStation games running on my PSP. I was quite surprised though, they ran flawlessly.

Now back to my portable gaming.
