I PULLED IT OFF, GOODBYE v2.81 HELLO v1.5!
After the support I got and the searching, I finally found a guide that would downgrade my PSP to a 1.5 AND a guarantee of non-brickage (is that word?). The guide worked and I pissed myself. I feel complete, and now it's time to install homebrew into this blessed device of the Gods.
Thanks PSPBrew.com
So any suggestions of where I should start on these internet gems?
