First of all, I am a complete n00b. If you type noob into google images, a picture of me comes up.

Now, I want to play this on my PSP. What the hell do I do?

all you have to do is download the game (extract it if its in a winrar. file) and put it in your game150 folder or your 3.XX folder on your mem stick.

I haven't got a game150 folder. When I click on PSP I get four options: Common, Game, Savedata and system. Do I put it in the game folder then?

you have two options: make one manually (like you just mentioned) or make a back up of all your files in your memstick and just reformat, automatically making the game folders. by the way, what custom firmware is your psp running on?

If by that you mean system version then 3.50. But if I start the game it says corrupted data. Help!

That's why. You have to have a custom firmware to play homebrew games. You need to either use pandora's battery or the lumines downgrader to downgrade your psp to 1.50 then upgrade to a custom firmware. Check out the tutorial section for a noob guide that staxx made, it has a ton of great info.

What CW do you recommend?

3.52M33-4. It's my favorite so far. You have to install 3.52M33-1 first then patch it with the 4th update. There's a tutorial somewhere that tells you how to install it, on the first page of the tutorials section.

I have 3.52 and I can't find any downgraders for it. Am I not looking properly?

but didnt you say you had a 3.50 official firmware? anyways if you have 3.52 official firmware from sony then you need to use pandora's battery mod and for you to make that your gunna need a psp running on custom firmware. If you dont then you have to use the soldering tut to make a pandora battery.

So basically I can't play any homebrew games on my PSP?

You Can once you downgrade from your 3.52 sony firmware to 1.50. once at 1.50 you can play homebrew, or you can upgrade to a custom firmware to play more homebrew that requires 3.XX firmware. But in order to downgrade you need to make a pandora's battery and a magic memory stick.

Well that's my point, I don't really want to be soldering my battery. I just want to download a downgrader, is it really impossible to make one? Or are there any homebrew games that play on 3.52?

Well you can buy the pandoras battery and magic memory stick so you won't have to open your battery up. or you can make it using one of these tutorials:
