not really. if you upgrade to the latest firmware (5.03) you will have the PlayStation Store available. this lets you download themes, games, wallpapers and so on. but if you want games for free, then yes, you need cfw
No, you can do so on the latest version of the official firmware.
You just need to upgrade your firmware, then you can access the PSN to purchase and download games.
It's always the latest firmware that is needed.
You need the latest firmware. go to this site to download it select the t10 and download the firmware.
You need cfw, aka custom firmware. To get custom firmware, you'll need a Pandora battery and a magic memory stick. Look up on youtube for tutorials.
If you are using the wrong firmware, trying to connect to the PSN will prompt you to download the most updated version. You need to let your PSP do this.
You need custom firmware or a Pandora battery and a magic memory stick.
Right now there isn't. If you want to get custom firmware for psp version 6.20 you need to downgrade to custom firmware using a Pandora battery.
The answer is both no and yes. You do not need custom firmware installed to run UMD games. UMD games are the disc-type games that you buy at the store. You will, however, require a custom firmware installed on the psp to run backups which are copies of the UMD (disc-type) on your memory stick.
No it is not illegal but to get it you need custom firmware which causes controversy. If you use Custom Firmware to use applications like PSPtube called homebrew it is legal but if you use it to play pirated games then it is illegal.
You don't need anything but the latest official firmware, to be able to download games from the PSN.
You need your PSP to be upgraded to the latest firmware, in order to access the PSN and download games.
Cause you need to make you PSP Go To the lowest firmware (kinda like downgrade) Then you can install you custom firmware
