I hope I can get one of your reserved posts!

Also, uploading all the files now. The basic overview will be the name of the app (with credit), purpose and description. Will also provide a download link and will try to keep these all as updated as possible.

Use [Reserved 2], that's in good position to the installation of homebrew.

re: [UPDATED]The Super Mega Ultimate Homebrew/Custom Firmware Thread!

That's very handy.
I tried out the capture thing, as my current screenshot plugin isn't as good as I'd like, and I don't like it. For one, the readme is unreadable. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it shows up for me as weird symbols. Another thing, it doesn't save shots in the PHOTO or PICTURE folders, so you can't view them using your PSP. I mean, what? How hard is it to make a READABLE readme, and doesn't it just seem logical to save screenshots in the PHOTO folder?

Hmm. He said downgraded from 5.03, so it is most probably

CXMB

Alright, added and gave credit to Twin_Master.
I think it looks better the way he wrote his own index, then the one applied at the top, they serve different purposes.

re: [UPDATED]The Super Mega Ultimate Homebrew/Custom Firmware Thread!

Turns out I had the wrong program. Simply change the last paragraph with this:

code

[[#SVCapture]][size=2][b]SVCapture (v0.5)[/b][/size]
[b]Type:[/b] XMB and Game Plugin
[b]Description:[/b] Excellent little screen capture program. One press of a button will snapshot perfect quality photographs from your PSP screen with no loss in picture quality.
[b]Download Link:[/b] [link name=Download link]http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m0fyzm4dnke[/link]

and change the contents with this.

code

[[#SVCapture|SVCapture]] (v0.5)

You know, I'd use Speedy Shoot for screenshots. It's the fastest screenshot plugin out there.

re: [UPDATED]The Super Mega Ultimate Homebrew/Custom Firmware Thread!

^ I agree. It really is fast, and it saves into the PHOTO folder! Or something. I don't know where exactly. Point is, it saves to somewhere the PSP can read.

Luigi, I think you should have a bit less emphasis on pandora, and a bit more on ChickHEN. I don't mean to nitpick, but the fact of the matter is that ChickHEN requires nothing except downloadable software, and can hack any PSP. With the right instructions it really is minimal effort. Your guide appears to suggest cutting open your battery before it suggests chickHEN. We don't want people turned away from downgrading because they can't get hold of a Pandora and don't want to cut their battery open, when chickHEN is so accessible.
Just a suggestion

And, I found this a week or two ago. It could be very useful. Just throwing it out there.

Alright, I'll flip the sections around and hide the Pandora battery image.

And that's a really nice find there!

re: [UPDATED]The Super Mega Ultimate Homebrew/Custom Firmware Thread!

Switched parts of guide around, renamed parts, added Hellcat's Recovery Flasher Guide.
Added emulator section.

EDIT: I've been spelling ChickHEN as ChickenHEN all this time... I fixed every single one.

re: [UPDATED]The Super Mega Ultimate Homebrew/Custom Firmware Thread!

I love it. It's fantastic. There's information, but the sections on installing homebrew are clearly defined, easy to skip to, and easy to read. I don't think the last link on the index/contents thing works though

But yeah it's great. Thanks Luigi

I fixed the anchor in the last link. I mixed up d with b. I have very slight lysdexia I think.
I also added a bit to the contents, you can get to Twin_Master's homebrew guide as well as to my emulators guide.
Next to come? Recovery Menu.
After that? POPS.
