My question is concerning the issue of downgrading a psp and putting on a custom firmware. i really want to play my psx games on psp but, I still may want to buy some games. Guess I should get to the point... Are you able to play games that are on UMDs with a homebrew psp and not have to worry about the required upgrades some game have you do to play them. For example Monster Hunter, when it first came out, required that you update to 2.50. So, for future games such as FFVII Crisis Core would I HAVE to download to play it, or could I just purchase it and not worry about the update or anything of the such. I tried to word this best I could. I am green when it comes to homebrewing the psp, and before I make the leap of homebrewing it, I want to be sure that I can still buy games and play them like I would with a normal psp. Thanks!
