n00b here!!

Hello guys iv just bought my PSP firmware vrsion 3.40 i have downloaded the 3.50 upgrader and i have my copy of lumines coming in the mail and a spare battery coming in the mail. Im still very new to all this, i think i can manage getting my psp to run homebrew when i get lumines but after that im not sure.

Some things im looking to do with my psp

Play ps1, gba and n64 roms on the psp and hopfully with saves from my other pc emulators especially for ff7 in full speed.
Browse the internet
play backed up umd games

after that im not sure what otehr features i can add to my psp... Im basicly looking for some links to good guides to acheieve what i have stated but also some good ideas for otehr things i can do with my psp.

Many Thanks

when did you get the Lumines game? the new ones have a patch that don't work with the 3.50 downgrader.

i got it from amazon used for 12.99 rekon its safe?

Well it might not work, it depends when it came out. But it might be good, you'll just have to test it out.

if it used then theres more of a chance it would.....i would guess.

make shure you follow a tutorial ( http://www.pspbrew.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8427 )
for downgrading 3.50>1.50

And fo making a pandoras battery (Extra in case of bricks)
go here ( http://www.pspbrew.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9208 )

and if you plan on getting custom fw like 3.52M33-4 make shure you upgrade tru revisions 1 thru 2 thru 3 thru 4

fingers crossed, thansk for the links guys, i do plan on making a pandora battery when or if lumines works. If not im just gonna have to make a pandoras bettery the other way to downgrade. whats the emulation like for ps1 on the psp? any good homebrew apps i shoudl search for? Im lookign for the best performance and the ability to load saves i have on my pc emulators.

any ideas?

The Custom Firmwares have built-in PS1 emulators, so all ya need are the game files.
IR Shell is one of the most famous homebrew apps, there are a lot of homebrew games in the download section.
I'm not sure about moving the save files to your psp, but I'd suggest 3.52 M33-4 CFW I guess.
