At the time of this writing, one cannot use any homebrew software (including ScummVM) on these firmwares (except for TIFF homebrew on 2.80). 1.51 and 1.52, however, can be upgraded to 2.0-2.71, allowing the use of homebrew software. | |||

* You can degrade PSP's to 1.50, but | * You can degrade your PSP's firmware to 1.50, but doing so can completely break your PSP (a process called "bricking", as afterward your PSP is essentially nothing but a fancy brick). The reason some brick is mainly due to a hardware problem. Some PSP's have a motherboard referred to as TA-082, and any PSP with this motherboard will not allow 1.50 to be run on the PSP, therefore downgrading will irrevocably break such a PSP. | ||

* While it | * While it is possible to compress certain game resources to reduce their size, this can (and usually will) cause games (especially animations) to be choppy sometimes, as it requires extra CPU power to decode these files. As such, it is recommended to play games in their original, uncompressed, form whenever possible. | ||

When you encounter such a bug, please use the | When you encounter such a bug, please use the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=37116&atid=418820 ScummVM bug tracker], and mention all relevant info (i.e. that you're using the PSP version, which ScummVM version it is, if the problem exists in a recent PC SVN version, a detailed description of the problem, and if possible a nearby savegame). This will make it much easier for us to understand, reproduce and hopefully fix the problem. | ||
