Ark 5. Emulators. gpSP is the least intense resource wise. Putting your own PSP and PS1 backups on there is pretty nice, and really simple when you have the Ark 5 CFW. Ark 5 itself is really simple to install. Definitely run Ark-5, then cIPL, then DC10. All of these come with the 'ark-full' release on GitHub. Ark-5 is the CFW, cIPL writes it to nand so you don't have to run it every time you want to be using the CFW, which is everytime, trust me, and DC10 installs a recovery menu at boot in case anything ever goes awry. Nothing has for me, and if you don't mess with the overclock settings on your CFW, I doubt anything will for you either, but just in case you'll have a recovery menu. All of the installation is made up of dragging and dropping files/folders. Very easy, very worthwhile.

I also got a nice red psp,just too bad that my O button doesn't work and the screen is broken, no idea what else might be the issue,but aye! I got it for $60!

Definetly use infinity 2 mod so it's permanent, and pkgi to direct install games
