    By using a overflow.tif from an unreliable source when downgrading you psp, that will do it. Some1 started a thread a while back asking the same thing, do a search im sure it will pop up

    I wouldnt really worry about it. Loading games wrong and stuff like that will never do that, and thats what a lot of people worry about.

    BTW - I heard PSPpersonalize can brick your psp if you screw around with it.

    Yea, if you flash a picture that's the wrong size, you could more or less likely have a bricked PSP.
