	   -PSPKick V3.00 Installation Guide-

Before we begin with the instructions you need to be aware
that, as of this writing, PSPKick and no other homebrew apps
and games can run by themselves on a PSP with a firmware
higher than 1.5 without the use of additional loaders. We 
are very sorry if this includes you and would like to 
point out that if we could get it working on any other
firmware, we definitely would. There IS a downgrader though
to allow you to bring your 2.0 down to 1.5 if you are so 
inclined. There are also a couple of programs that allow you
to run homebrew on higher firmwares via certain exploits. We
advise you to take a look for these on fine PSP sites such
as www.pspupdates.com . I'm afraid that Sony has been
patching the firmware since 1.5 in hopes to stop game
piracy. The exploit in which people can play pirated games
also happens to be the same method that developers, such as
ourselves, have to use in order to create games for the PSP.
We hope that one day Sony will somehow come up with a
feasable manner in which to allow developers to continue to
bring all of you innovative and fun games and apps.

So how do you check your PSP's firmware?
1) Turn on your PSP.
2) Goto the 'Settings' menu all the way to the left.
3) Scroll down to 'System Settings' and press 'X'.
4) Scroll down to 'System Information' and press 'X'.
5) Note the 'System Software' version number shown. This is 
   your firmware number.

So you have 1.0 or 1.5 firmware?
1) Turn on your PSP.
2) Connect the PSP memory stick to your computer by any number
   of methods (USB cable, card reader, FTP, etc..). If you
   aren't sure how to do this, please check in the PSP manual.
3) If you have firmware 1.5:
	a) Copy the two folders found in this zip file to the
           'GAME' folder on your PSP's memory stick.  The 
           'GAME' folder can be found in the 'PSP' folder 
           from the root directory of the PSP.
   If you have firmware 1.0:
	a) Copy the folder named 'PSPKick3.0' found in this zip
           file to the 'GAME' folder on your PSP's memory stick.
     	   The 'GAME' folder can be found in the 'PSP' folder
           from the root directory of the PSP.
	b) Copy the file 'EBOOT.PBP' found in this zip file to
	   the 'PSPKick2.0' folder on your PSP's memory stick
	   (that you copied over in the last step).
4) Restart your PSP (this is not imperative, but helps).
5) Goto the 'Game' menu all the way to the right.
6) Scroll down to 'Memory Stick' and hit 'X'.
7) Scroll down to the PSPKick icon and hit 'X'. *
8) Enjoy the newest release!
