Default Skype is out.
IGN: PSP Updates to 3.90

Also... Skype Pro – free calls within the US and Canada

3$ a Month for unlimited nationwide calls?? I wonder if this works with the PSP...

I can't use Skype on mine, I have a Phat PSP, plus the firmware is 1.50 on it and I don't want to update it anyway.

Why don't you just go with custom firmware?

From the IGN article.

PSP gamers who don't have a PSP Slim will unfortunately be left out from Skype service, as the feature uses the extra RAM added to the Slim to extend the XMB menu system a bit further than is possible with the older model.

Awww, thats super lame. Thats some bullshit by Sony. Sony I think is going back on the dead to me list. The list that they came off of because of the PSP... I'll bet there will be some sort of homebrew that will work though; that is if there isn't already.

No, the reason it doesn't work is a memory issue.

For whatever reason, SNES emulation is really crappy on custom firmware.

I bet a more streamlined version that uses less RAM could be made for homebrew...

Yeah, you're right about that. My SNES emulation runs kinda choppy. But NeoGeo emulation is flawless, strange.
