Firmware questions

Which firmware version do I need?
Open the game page and look at "Required firmware". Use that version or a newer one. The firmware link on the game page takes you straight to the right download.
Is the newest firmware always the best choice?
Newer firmware runs every game that needs an older version, but keep the version your emulator or setup officially supports.
Where do the keys come from?
Keys and firmware are dumped from your own console. Follow the instructions of your emulator.
