So I dusted off the ol' PSP...

Its missing a battery, and a 2gb memory stick, but I've got the AC adapter and a 1gb stick still. Anyway, I'm at 3.90 M33-3, and can't update without the battery (I'll get one sometime), so I come back to find that I can't run pretty much any of the new homebrew games/apps. :(
Any suggestions? Know any games that still work with this? I've even downloaded some that I remember playing, and they just won't run anymore. And if I upgrade to 5.00 M33-4, would older things still be compatible, or would it break things like when the PSP was upgraded a year ago? Any recommendations for some new games (haven't touched the PSP in about a year)?
Also, in before "get ds its better tblebalfbaelfe". I've got one, ok? I'm bored of it, and the PSP is finally getting some more playable games (LocoRoco 2, Patapon 2, N+, Star Ocean, etc) and I'd like it to be usable.

The problem with the PSP is that the games seem kind of too complicated for such a small screen/buttons. Whereas the Nintendo DS has games that are a bit more simplistic and appropriate for a small screen. My nephew wanted a PSP and got one but is now envious of his brother's DS. His PSP is never played.

Games don't need awesome graphics to be fun. Playability is more important. Remember "Combat" for the Atari 2600? "Super Mario Brothers" for NES. "Tetris" for Game Boy.
