Just got a psp but...................

Post by xxxeagle »

Okay today I got my psp and gta lcs I went to go play lcs but it says in order to play it I have to update the firmware to 2.00. I dont want to update it to play gta if I don't have to and I don't want to downgrade it later. So My question is Can I play gta without updating it? I am googling this right now. I don't have the usb cable so i can't download anything to it.

Also The psp has a really nice feel and look to it anyone wondering about getting one I would reccomend it. Except for the updating and such it seems pretty good.

There is a firmware faker, but I don't think it supports 2.0 yet.

Maybe Ill just do it and then downgrade it to 1.5 again when I get the usb cable. Or maybe 2.0 will get hacked so i can play emulators on it. What do you guy's reccomend. I think I'll probably just update it.

They say anything after 2.0 you won't ever be able to play any homebrew, but what they mean is just for a whyle. There are some really smart people out there that will fight Sony with all their might and more than likely win. Remeber this, nothing is ever foolproof :D

I'm getting my PSP Giga Pack on monday, woot. It's more than likely gonna be 2.01 but I don't mind, all I want to do at the moment is play PSP games. (not to mention my DS can play SNES roms at 100% speed :) )

Yeah I finished updating it and gta lcs is pretty fun. I am going to get a wireless router so I can get some use out of the web browser anyone have any reccomendations for a godd one under 20 bucks. I saw the giga pack but my mom didn't get that It was a gift from her plus she owed me money so that went to the gift the giga pack is a good deal it saves you like $40.
