on PSP firmware updating

It has just dawned on me that.. new games aren't working on my PSP anymore lolz. So I thought of updating the firmware. I am currently using 3.71 M33-3 . I am planning to update the firmware. My first question is:

"Should I update to the latest firmware or just a a version or so up?"

The second is:
"If I upgrade firmwares, will I still be able to play some of my older games??" Take Tales of Destiny 2 and DJ Max Portable 2 for example

the last question:
(This will probably be a bit stupid but I don't want to take any chances)
"When updating my firmware, like for example 3.71 to 3.80, do I still need to install 3.72 and 3.73?? or do I just install 3.80 right away?"

Most amazing jew boots

If you're on 4.01 m33-2, the majority of psp/psxpsp1 isos will work. Just don't upgrade your slim or phat to 5.00 m33 yet until dax releases a popsloader plugin. It freezes ps1 games and that popcorn prx didnt do shit unless I probably have to convert them again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've only tried the pops on 3.71 twice.. both games freeze very very often on me lols. I was playing Xenogears and Persona 2 Eternal Punishment. I thought Dax wasn't doing PSP anymore?? Or was it just firmwares ^^'. I'll go check Dax's site for the 4.01 m33-2.

Thanks.

EDIT:
So I just install 4.01m33 then 4.o1 m33-2? No need to get the version between 3.71 and 4.01?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nope. that 4.01 m33-2 upgrade does all the work. You just have to find the latest popsloader and you'll be good. The majority of psx eboots will work. Some of them still have minor problems during gameplay but nothng too severe.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

not need to 3.71 to install 4.01,as chato say not install 5.00 still not there popsloader plugin working with it.if you want all version for popsloader "from 3.00 to 3.72"I can upload it for you.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thanks guys just finished updating my firmware.

@RYU: Its ok I have most of them already from my last try of xenogears and persona 2. Unless someone else in the boards needs it

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
