How do i run homebrew on my PSP?
It requires you to have a 1.0 or 1.5 PSP. Now, almost all homebrew is released in 1.5 form and sometimes packaged with 1.0 form. Whats the difference? (See below).

If the homebrew comes in a different form (ie. you have 1.0 and you download 1.5 or you have 1.5 and it comes with 1.0), you can download tools to convert them. One of them being SeiPSPTool, it can convert 1.0 eboots -> 1.5 eboots.

How does homebrew in 1.0 and 1.5 differ?
On 1.0 PSPs, there is NO protection to run unencrypted code on the PSP. On 1.5 there is an exploit, it begins to boot from a folder with the % but loads the program itself from the folder without the %.
