My eyes hurt

and it's all my fault

Time now 03:13. I'm staring at the screen watching a progress bar move slowly to the end. And I mean S>>L>>O>>>>W>>>>>>>L>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Y

3 and a half hours ago, some clever people released a downgrader for the PSP. It downgrades v2.71 firmware to the pirate-friendly v1.50. Since I wanna play a few games but am too cheap to buy them, I thought I'd go ahead.

Of course, the typical "don't ask for the files here cos they're illegal" business delayed me for a bit, then there was the whole "follow the instructions carefully else you'll 'brick' your PSP" business.
And then it was time to download, uncompress and copy some ISOs to the memory stick.

And then you had to install a programme called Devhook that fools the PSP into playing games from the memory stick. This is the one with the slow progress bar, takes about 30 minutes!

And the biggest delay of them all? fucking around with the settings of a programme that you've never used before in your life, only to kill it. Yes folks, it's totally my fault. I had to fuck around. I hadn't even tried a single game before I decided to take matters into my own hand.

So now, I'm re-installing devhook and punishing myself by watching the bar progress. At least I think that's what I'm watching.... my eyes hurt.
