I find it hard to 'stay true' to a company (Sony) that that does so many things to disrespect it's loyal customers.
Plus, there are so many advantages to running a custom firmware on your PSP. You havnen't lived until you've played Wipeout Pure in 333Mhz mode, the speed that the PSP was always intended to run at. The difference in framerate is amazing (not that Pure was bad to begin with, but 333 makes it REALLY good).
Also, the ability to jump back and forth between different firmwares is great for getting around the issues that we're talking about here.
Other advantages:
- Run at 4th brightness setting regardless of whether the power is plugged in.
- POPS emulator allows you to play all of the PS1 games that you already own (I beleive in fair use of things you've already paid for).
- Run your games from the memory stick, resulting in much quicker load times and less battery drain.
- Plus many others (high-res movies, recovery mode, customisations, homebrew applications, etc).
I appreciate that some of these features do open the doors for piracy. I would never dream of pirating a Wipeout game, because I love what the developers do with the games, and want them to keep doing it, and get rewarded for their amazing work.
As responsible users, why not enjoy some great extra features that the PSP should have been capable of in the first place? Sony seems to ignore us a lot of the time, so I'm glad that some other programmers have taken it upon themselves to unleash what the system is truly capable of.

they won't officially sort any problems their updates create and seem to want to make sure you can't find an unofficial way to sort them yourself.
, when worms2 for PSP comes I think I just might upgrade to one of the OE's.
