I've not yet tried any of the SNES/Genesis/Gameboy emulators yet, so I'm unsure of any benefit of running them on 1.5 other than reports that they are a bit quicker. NeoGeoCD is one of the best emulators, which runs fine on 2.6 so again there is perhaps little benefit to downgrading. The biggest bonus with 1.5 is that homebrew runs straight from the PSP interface (XMB) rather than having to go through GTA. For emulator ROMS, there are a few sites out there that are pretty good. Try using google, and searching for the word 'rom', and lets say, 'hustler', for example, and you should find something suitable.

I downgraded my 2.50 to 1.50 just last night and eagerly searched for Homebrew games online but the only one I found of interest is a horizontal scrolling Shoot 'em up ! I installed the Dgen and Snes emus but I am having a hard time finding the Roms. With the lack of a web browser and not being able to play Street Fighter alpha 3 I am wondering if it was worth it ?
