Older PSP owners shouldn’t flock to this update, however. The Skype portion is only available/visible/useable on PSP-2000 systems. Yet another reason to keep a vintage PSP steadfastly fixed on the ever-hackable system software version 1.50.

Watch out though, if you hack that software for the old PsP, your warranty, if you have one, will most likely become invalid!!!
