PSP Problems EASY 10 points
I purchased the original psp with firmware 1.50 on it. Will that firmware allow it to read a 8 Gb memory card? i need to update the firmware but all i have is a 8gb (coming in the mail). Do i need to update the psp befor e i use the big card and if so is there a way to do it without a memory card?

Yes, the firmware will allow it to read a 8gb card.
No, you do not need to update the psp before you use any memory card
And no, there is no way to update without a memory card.

yes any firmwire can read any memory stick size you need to update your psp when you get the memory stick because no psp can be updated without a memory card and also is olbligatory to update your psp to play all of the first and latest psp games

Yes it will work but it will only read 4gigs of your memory card unless you update your firmware to 3.0 or higher custom or official
