The first thing you need to do for homebrew is to download and install
Dark_AleX's latest custom firmware or set up a Pandora battery.

these
forum
threads.
Once you have installed it on your PSP,
you can try out all the cool software available under the Homebrew Links to the right.
Remember to research all software you install on your PSP and read the directions
twice before you do anything. Don't encourage or engage in piracy. Use this power
for good and not evil.
Development
If you are running Windows, you'll need a POSIX emulation layer to install and run the
development kit. Download and install
Cygwin and check off the following packages for
installation in the Cygwin installer(setup.exe):
autoconf
automake
binutils
bzip2
flex
gcc
libtool
make
opengl
patch
perl
subversion
wget
