2.0 has been cracked and can play about 60% of all current homebrew apparently. I have 2.0 with just a snes emu, mainly coz i've still got a 32MB stick, but i can't really find any decent homebrews worth putting on.

The web browser on 2.0 is soooo much better than the 1.5 alternatives. You don't realise how good it is till you have to use another one.

Where can u get the 2.0 cracked. 2.0 is sooo much better than 1.5, mainly because of the wallpaper changer and def the browser but it's really slow for me. :frusty:

It is possible to downgrade from 2.0 to 1.5 easily...

Some places to look around for information:

Right now I have a 1.5 PSP with:
-SNES emulator
-Sega Genesis emulator
-GBC emulator
-NeoGeo CD emulator (Metal Slug rules!)
-Doom 1 and 2 for PSP
-UMD emulator with Twisted Metal and Marvel Nemesis on the memory stick
-Dead to Rights, installed onto the memory stick
-Puzzle Bobble, installed onto the memory stick
-Coded Arms, installed onto the memory stick
-Polygon (clone of Bejeweled)
-FileAssistant++
-SXT's Version Changer (tricks your PSP into thinking it's a 2.0 or 7.5 PSP)

right ripper thanks for that, but i am getting a jap one and u will downgrade it for me, i`ve been reading about GTA being 1.6GB so i`ll buy that one, but i think it need`s firmwear 2.0 to play it so i can go up and down with the firmwear as need easy, like when i am at work?????

i know its all quite new so will they crack the newest firmwear so that it will play homebrew, also how do the emu`s play?????, they sound wicked!!!!
