I have a sony PSP with 1.52 firmware...

I've read all the sites, and don't understand how to upgrade to 2.0 then downgrade to 1.50. Should i even do this, or will the risk of having a bricked PSP too great?

My understanding is that it's safe, I wouldn't be surprised if you can even skip a step and go back to 1.5 directly from 1.52.

if you wouldn't mind having a $250 paperweight, go for it.

I've upgraded/downgraded loads of times and never had a problem, and I've never heard of anyone bricking their PSP with the MPH downgrader.

Nope. You can't.

don't new games automatically flash the bios with updates?

It's extremely simple, go to http://pspupdates.qj.net/ and then go to their forum. They have a tutorial on this. YOU MUST UPGRADE TO 2.0 BEFORE DOING THIS.

Nope. Some new games won't run with older firmware, but I've never heard of a game updating the firmware without the users consent.
