Hello from Maine,
I just took a "crash course" in PSP hacking.
I had to downgrade my daughter's PSP from 3.11 to 1.50, then apply custom firmware 3.52-4 and figure out how to play ISOs.
I took notes in case I would have to do it again in the future.
I've uploaded my notes and all software i used here:

It is entirely self contained, you will not need to download anything else. I also simplified the instructions - it is so easy a monkey could do it.
Maybe it could save you hours of Googling and the risk of reading outdated tutorials.
You will need the game "Lumines" to do this method.
I got "Lumines" from GameStop for $34. They are on ePay as well.
Dig it?

EDIT : I have updated the above (April 2008). Now the pack does this:
1. Any firmware less than 3.51 to 1.50
2. 1.50 to 3.52 M33
3. 3.52 M33 to 3.90 M33-2
I have tested this exact software pack on 3 different PSPs and was 100% successful in hacking them.

So the above covers how to:
Downgrade any PSP with firmware lower than 3.50 to 1.50, then up to "custom firmware 3.52-4" by "M33"
Also, how to play ISOs that you've acquired
But for everything else here is a motherlode of tutorials:

Spystyle,
Great write up. Just went throught the process from start to finish last night. Worked like a charm. Had a couple issues with corrupt data. I found that if I remove my flash card before I disconnect from the PC everytime this does not happen. Meaning that I pull out flash card, hit "O" on PSP to disconnect USB from PC, then reinsert my flash card and navigate through PSP. It is kind of a pain, but works.
This little process has given my PSP new life! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Many Thanks!!! :applaud:
