I am wondering though maybe it was posted before, how many of you guys managed to brick your PSP? Is it something common or a very rare thing? Don't wish to do something wrong yet to my new PSP

its kinda hard to brick your psp and if you manage to do so then your an idiot (unless your a programmer thats trying to make something new )
well to brick your psp you would have to download this fake downgrader that somebody made (if im not mistaken someone did make a fake bricking downgrader right?) well n e ways to brick it you will have to mess up something in your flash and not that many programs (homebrw) even access your flash and im guessing you have 2.6 because you said its a new psp so if you use fanjita's eloader you won't brick your psp

dumb 2 even try unless u hv lots of money 2 spare
but for the experts yes continue experimenting

Well it is fun thing but I bought a new PSP and it is fw 2.5, I guess in my country things are not going so fast, LOL

For those that are able, it is awesome that they are working to promote the homebrew culture, but not wise for those who don't know what they are doing.

yeah this is something i am really worried about. I a afraid to test any of the downgraders or anything like that till i am sure that it really works.

I agree. The possibility of bricking my PSP scares the hell outta me......I don't really bother trying to download games anyway. Just getting episodes of Family Guy is good enough for me

Yeah, downloading movies or music and putting them on your PSP won't damage it. I did actually had to remove the battery to get it working again after I played an converted movie from WMA to MPG to MP4. But it works again.

Seven

Never

I never use the version changers because i am afriad i might do something wrong. unless it is fool proff i wont use it

At first, I was really scared about putting games on to my PSP. But I've done it so much now, I'm not really scared of bricking my PSP.

I supose it is more scare crow story about bricking PSP since no one one here told he had done so. I know there are some fake downgraders but don't think some game can brick PSP, or am I wrong?

no there is no game that can brick your psp UNLESS IT REACHES THE FLASH MEMORY and most don't unless your trying to it won't just do it on its own
and for those who are scared about downloading and playing games on their psp don't be because its cool after you have modded your psp so it can do the things regular psp's can't do
so i guess this im not saying GO OUT AND PLAY GAMES NOW but im just saying that its hard to brick your psp unless you did intentionally and once you get the hang of putting games on your psp you will learn how to get more advanced in mods and will want to do more like i did

i havent but im a little scared to do

I upgraded from 1.52 to 2.00, then downgraded from 2.00 to 1.50. I was scared as hell the whole time that it would brick. Luckly it worked perfectly. I'm so glad I did now.

my psp bricked over a month ago from using too much homebrew, but luckily i got my warranty which got me a new psp. now i dont really use homebrew that much anymore.

WTH is "bricking"? Forgive my ignorance...is this just an ESL way of saying "broken"?
