So I have a psp just sitting around doing nothing. What can I do with it if I were to load homebrew firmware? And where can I find some resources to do it?

UGH. I did this. It was a royal pita.
First step is to make sure you do NOT have a TA-082 psp. That will tell you whats in store for you.
try here… [http://psp.about.com/od/homebrew/ig/TA-082-Motherboard-Tutorial/TA-082-code-location.htm](http://psp.about.com/od/homebrew/ig/TA-082-Motherboard-Tutorial/TA-082-code-location.htm)
I made a thread about it last year. I can’t find it now but search for it as there were some helpful answers.
