I am using custom firmware 3.52 M33-4, and every game I have uploaded has run. Even all simulators for Nintendo, Gameboy advance, PS1. Personally I enjoy most with Nintindo games, the retroactive games like Contra, Mario, TMNT, Double Dragon, TANK, and good old Tetris.
There are complications of flashing your firmware as you definately run the risk of Bricking you PSP, but with so much of online tutorials available and with pendora chances are reduced to just 1-5%, unless you are too careless. However if done correctly the rewards are worth, as you can run virtually every game developed for so many platforms, plus loads of applications like Comic Book reader, Book reader for reading PDFs and TXTs etc can be uploaded.
I have no idea about the slim, which firmware is compatible and which games can run on it, Slim comparitively is new to the market so the hacking research is still in progress as compared to the old one where the hackers have manipulated every code to make it compatible with PSP.
But it definately is a good choise and worth going for.
