I have an original fat PSP that I hardly ever use, but I thought with my PS3 now I'd try to leverage whatever neatness there is.

Currently have:
Launch day fat PSP with original v1.5 firmware
4GB MicroSD in a MS Pro adapter
Emulating newest firmwares with an old UMD emulator program, devhook, that I believe emulates 3.03 so I can play the latest games that I have on UMD
Fat PS3 with latest firmware

I guess there's a new battery trick to be able to emulate newest firmwares, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the way to go or just keep on using my old UMD emulator program.

I don't play many homebrews and I don't d/l images of games, mostly I'm looking to
1) see if I should just update my PSP to the latest firmware and not worry about holding on to v1.5 and what it buys me
2) if not, should I start using the battery trick to emulate firmwares
3) leverage my PSP to do remote play on PS3
4) chuck the whole thing and sell this unit for whatever I can get

Any advice on how to get more use out of my PSP?

TIA

Why not look for custom firmwares M33, etc (not sure after 5.0 though). They allow you to do everything, and you don't have to emulate anything.
