I've had my PSP for about 3 or 4 months now, and I figure it's time to give CFW a go (especially since various packages of the 3000 series will be coming out over the next 3 months, so if I really screw things up, I could always buy a new one). Has anyone here done it to theirs? I just want to get some points of view and learn about people's experiences with it. So here are a bunch of random questions...
Is it easy to do yourself? (I hear there is some hard modding?)
How well do the homebrew apps work?
How big a memory stick should I have? Is 1 GB enough? (I plan on upgrading to at least 4 GB eventually anyway)
I know there are apps out there that let you run PSP images from the memstick; do I have to download those images or can I make them myself with the games I already have?
I know SNES/NES/GBA games work fine on it, but what about PS1 games? I've heard some run great while others have issues... and again, would I have to download these images or is there a way to make them myself from the games I've already got?
I saw an ad on Craigslist where some guy was offering to mod any PSPs and install CFW on it, and it was for $30 or something. I think that might be worth it if doing it myself proves to be too difficult. But then again, I'd rather do things my way and be in complete control.
I have the latest firmware version (4.05), so I assume it'll be difficult at this point to hack it. Apparently there are ways to revert firmware, but I figure it'd be better to just wait a while until teh leet haxors figure out a way to crack this version, right?
Oh, one more thing: yes I know what Google is, so please don't direct me to it. I've done some searching on my own, and now I want opinions from people who aren't complete total strangers and also aren't incoherent 12yo's.
