I haven't been here in almost a year so sorry if I'm repeating something but...
A custom firmware was recently released (about 2 weeks ago) that combines 3.02 with 1.5 compatibility to allow users to have the same flexibility of 1.5 without sacrificing their current games. Here are the features:
-Users with the TA-082 model to downgrade (before, doing this would brick your system)
-Allows users to still play current firmware games as well as homebrew
-Allows users to play ps1 images on their Sony PSP's. Originally you could only do this through Sony's method; buy a ps3... which is incredibly stupid.
The ps1 emulation is nearly flawless. There are a few games that don't work, and currently, multi-disc games that DO NOT allow a save before the switch will not let you continue but these games are very rare (Fear Effect and Metal Gear Solid are the only ones I think of but you can save in MGS right before the disc swap).
Right now, I have Brave Fencer Musashi, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy 7 on my PSP and they run perfectly except FF7 has a few sprite glitches in the cursor that's nearly unnoticeable to the untrained eye.
Hopefully, more features of the PSP can be unlocked by the fans who spent the $200 for the system because Sony sure as heck doesn't care about their actual consumers. Hopefully we can get some N64 emulation running. It's already WORKING, just not at a good speed.

NOTE TO MODS: This post or the links within do not contain roms, pirated materials, or any illegal objects available for download nor links to illegal objects. I assume that everyone who rips ps1 discs owns the original copy and is doing it for their own enjoyment and is not sharing it or offering it for download. This is for backup purposes only, blah blah blah, legal mess.
EDIT: This is actually a post from another forum I frequent but recently firmware 3.03 was hacked.
