Gaming So, I haven't upgraded my PSP in quite a while....

[Vater Unser]

Okay, like the topic title says I haven't upgraded my PSP in quite a while, the firmware I currently have installed is 3.90 M33-2, and I have totally lost track of what custom firmwares there are out there and which one to install. It's a phat PSP, by the way.
I'd like to be able to play Locoroco 2 and Prinny on my PSP, but from what I've heard the 5.00 M33 doesn't support PSX games anymore, or at least it hasn't when it was first released. Has this been fixed yet? Not being able to play PSX games is really not an option for me.
Also, do I have to upgrade from 3.90 M33 to 4.XX M33 prior to upgrading to 5.00 M33?
And is there anything else in particular I'd need to know before upgrading?
Like any other stuff that worked on 3.90 M33 but won't work on 5.00 M33?
I've heard that 5.00 M33 requires some kind of 1.5 kernel fix in order to run homebrew on a phat PSP, what's that about?

Mighty thanks in advance

Has this been fixed yet? Not being able to play PSX games is really not an option for me. Not the case. PSX games will still work. Just find and put all of the popsloaders onto your PSP and while the game is booting you can select an earlier version of pops which should still enable you to play PSX games
Also, do I have to upgrade from 3.90 M33 to 4.XX M33 prior to upgrading to 5.00 M33? Boot into recovery mode as the PSP is turning on. Make sure the M33 updates are turned on. Do a normal system update and it will download a M33 version instead.
And is there anything else in particular I'd need to know before upgrading? In my opinion, nothing really has changed since you've been out of the game so, no.
Like any other stuff that worked on 3.90 M33 but won't work on 5.00 M33? Not sure on this one sorry.

You've heard wrong. I'm pretty sure that 5.00 m33 plays PSX games just fine, DA released the popsloader for games that might require older pops versions. If you haven't touched anything in the recovery menu, you should be able to update to 5.00 m33 by using the network update function. The 1.5 kernel is only need for homebrew that require the 1.5 firmware. A lot of the newer homebrews will run just fine on 5.00 m33 without the 1.5 kernel.

While on the topic, is 5.00 m33 the latest firmware? I've been out of it for quite a while.
