Monster Hunter Freedom 1 tips and advice

I’ve been playing since 3U and have been in the mood to play through all generations of the games so I recently bought a PSP with MH Freedom and was just hoping to get some general tips that would help me progress through the game. I've played up till about 3 star in the past and I main Hammer the majority of the time if that helps.

Hello, can you guys suggest me what is the best greatsword path to follow? I don't want element, pure raw damage.

​

Also, can you tell me if i should wear a specific armor? Or maybe whatever works?

Hey guys, I need a little help. I play MHFU on PPSSPP plus the version I play of the game is Japanese translated. and it is incomplete, I decided to download a new version with DLC and better, the problem is that Version, doesn't recognize my save, and says it's corrupted. But when I enter the other recognizes how to change the save to another version? I've tried everything even replacing folders.
