Ok my battery is past 50% and it still will not start the upgrade because "my battery is low". Can someone else who had to charge first let me know if the could do it at 75% or something or does it have to be 100%?

I think you should reconsider before updating your firmwares. The PSP is much more versatile at 1.50.

To answer my own question and inform others, It worked at 70% but not at 50%. Also it made me use an AC adaptor too. (but i used power brick instead :-p)

to play later games you'll be forced to upgrade anyway. Better to find a security workaround in 2.0 than to try and patch a content workaround for 1.50 IMHO

Gomez, you are not connecting to your wireless access point. If it's asking for a WEP key, it means you are trying to connect to a secured network. You need the password for that network or you need to find one that is not password protected. It can't obtain the IP because it gets it from the wireless network it's connected to.

So when all is said and done, everyone thinks running the JAP 2.0 is great and there is no reason to wait for the US version?
