Homebrew Messes up psp?

Corkfeen

I heard that supposedly after a while of running homebrew your psp's flash memory will get ruined and just won't work.

That's what they want you to think! Although there's one virus-y yoke going around that I know of, make sure you know what you're doing before you start downgrading or using homebrew.

There is a second virus now..It is on the frontpage of www.psp-spot.com
today..
I'm only going to download stuff from a few select sites now..

Also you should get psafep, there's a new version just out now..
You should scan all your eboot files(programs) with it beofre running them on your psp..because if you brick your psp there's no going back at the moment anyway..
So be warned..
After that I wish you the best of luck in running homebrew..

I was wondering what the problem was.

I get DHCP errors when trying to connect to hotspots in college, but only SOME hotspots. I've only one at home, no errors on that.

Now it could be a problem with the hotspots in college but I think in light of this info it's unlikely.

I wouldn't call a random rumour "info".

dimerocks

ill look into a source for that rumour but its a friend of mine who told me who would know a fair amount so ill see.

projectmayhem

had problems connecting to college hotspots before i downgraded (worked fine with wifi at home though)...

don't plan on upgrading, and the wifi is pretty useless anyway

Mac daddy

same here had 2.0 on mine for testing the wifi didn't think much of it - downgraded back to 1.50 defo not upgrading unless something good convinces me to do so.

Heh, I don't even use the damn thing for playing games

I was for a while, but, lost interest. I use it for watching films, checking my mail etc. Single player games don't hold my interest long (lest it be FF7 or something).

Multiplayer Virtual Tennis is great craic.
