I probably shouldn't have but my curiosity got the better of me, and now it's gotten to the point that the PSP can't even play games from the UMD disk any more, I can't access the recovery menu, none of the plug-ins show up, it can't play any of the games on the usb, and all it's good for is storage now. If anyone knows if it can be still recoverable I'd be greatful, but so far I'm not holding much hope.
