Does anyone have a link to a tutorial or some information to help get me started?
The easiest way to install the latest EBOOT loader would be to run
this automated installer. If you are careful about running EXEs, though, you can also install the EBOOT loader manually by downloading
this archive.

I also see there is a downgrader to flash my firmware to version 1.5. Would this be more optimal to get emulators running?
Emulators usually do not perform better on 1.5 firmware than on others, but there are some applications that
require 1.5 firmware to run, namely ones that need to access the PSP's hardware (like the universal remote programs).
If you want to freely be able to use most, or all, PSP homebrew, downgrade your PSP to 1.5 firmware. However, if you want to be able to play recent games and still be able to use a good portion of applications, update your firmware and use an EBOOT loader.
Currently, no homebrew can be run on firmware 2.7 and later, so upgrade with caution. Also, if you upgrade your PSP's firmware to 2.01 through 2.6, you would then need 'Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories' to load the EBOOT loader.
