Should I use a custom firmware for homebrew?

PSP-Homebrew Info Site
These days, running the latest v3.xx OE firmware is probably the best choice for homebrew, if your PSP is able to run it. The OE custom firmware contains almost all of the benefits of the official v3.xx firmware, as well as supporting almost as much homebrew as the v1.5 firmware.

What is a Custom Firmware?

A custom firmware is just like what it sounds. It allows you to do things that Sony didn't intend you to do. The latest custom firmware, 3.52 M33, allows you to run the 3.52 XMB, and launch nearly all Homebrew from the same XMB!

Can I play homebrew on all firmware versions?

Homebrew FAQ - GamingCrazy.net
No, at this moment u can only play homebrew on 1.00 and 1.50, but if you're at 1.51 or 1.52 you can get to 1.50 by first upgrading to 2.00 and then using the MPH Downgrader. Ofcourse you can also downgrade from 2.00 to 1.50 using that MPH downgrader. At this moment there is a loader out for 2.00, but that one only supports emulators at this time, but I think there will be one soon that supports kernel mode (something that is required to use Fastloader and UMDEmulator).

Should I downgrade to use homebrew?

PSP-Homebrew Info Site
Since the rule of thumb is that Sony generally toughen the PSP's countermeasures against homebrew with each firmware version, it would seem to make sense to downgrade your PSP to the lowest version possible, so that it has the fewest barriers. But this might not be the best choice: If your PSP is firmware v3.51 or higher you have no choice - it cannot currently be downgraded. (See 'The Basics' for how to tell).

Should I upgrade to use homebrew?

PSP-Homebrew Info Site
This is easier to answer, although it seems counter-intuitive. These days there is little benefit in being at any firmware version between v2.00 and v2.70 inclusive, since the homebrew support is just as good (maybe better) on v2.71, and v2.71 has more official features. Moreover, you can easily downgrade again from v2.71 if you want to. If you're on 2.71, though, at the moment you would massively reduce your available homebrew capability by upgrading to 2.80 or higher.

Question:How much homebrew can I use, and how do I put it on my PSP?

Ultimate Psp Faq's!!! - Pakistan's Gamers Community
Answer: There is a ton of homebrew out there that you can use on your PSP. You can get limited homebrew if you have a small memory card. Putting homebrew on your PSP isn't very hard. There is normally a readme within the homebrew file that you have downloaded. Answer: To get to 1.50 firmware, you use something called a downgrader. Right now, you cannot downgrade a PSP with a firmware of 2.81 or higher.

PSP-Homebrew Info Site
Simply, homebrew is software that is produced by unofficial software developers, as compared with official software produced by developers licensed by the console manufacturer. Usually, homebrew developers are driven by the desire to make the console do things that the official developers haven't thought of, or got around to yet. Sometimes it's done because the homebrew developer thinks they can do better than the official software.

With most Ricoh drives, the firmware can be upgraded to the latest version using a firmware loader program.
