Model-specific custom firmware migration preparation
Software compilation verified; device gameplay and firmware installation assessed separately

A real example

PSP Go / a second life

Homebrew preparation, custom emulator builds, and save preservation for a classic handheld.

Compiled PSP software, organized emulator configuration, backed up saves, reversible cleanup, and a model-specific firmware migration plan. On-device firmware installation and gameplay are separate verification steps.
