List of PlayStation Portable firmware compatibilities

Sony regularly releases firmware updates for its PlayStation Portable system, and encourages PSP owners to upgrade the firmware. To increase firmware upgrades, Sony encodes their games so that some of them require the newer firmware. This is a list of which games require firmware upgrades. All firmware updates are backwards-compatible; that is, all games that work on firmware 1.5 will work on firmware 2.0, and so on.
