Firmware 2.71 Available for Download (US, UK, Japan) |
Ó
Well, after the 2.71 news update, we finally have the 2.7 upgrade EBOOT available for download. We've already documented the new features in the earlier article. I'll still just go thru the new 'features' if you can call them that.
- Game demos like Loco Roco and Kazuo can be downloaded and stored on Memory Stick
- Some fixes related to Location Free Base Players (LF-B1 and LF-X11)
In case you're hell bent of getting rid of homebrew on your PSP, go ahead and download the update. After saving the EBOOT.PBP file, make a UPDATE folder in the PSP folder of the Memory Stick, and put the file in there. And yes, before upgrading, remember to say bye-bye to homebrew.

Comments [refresh]
first comment I ROCK.
1st comment!!! I'm all for the demos
I'm going to buy a new PSP (FW 1.5 or 2.0) and THEN update my old one to 2.71.
900000000000000 000000000000000 000000000000000 000000000000000 000000000th post
anyhoo, dont update, new firmwares are evil
"Homebrew doesn't run on 2.70 and above currently. Period."
How long have we been "warned" about upgrading. And still it keeps getting hacked. Show me QUALITY homebrew and I'm in. But I haven't seen any yet. Everything is beta this and buggy that. Graphics look like crap. No sound. Poor framerates. Give me a break!
nocomment
wankers
im 1st!!
updated
can anyone get the demos to download? i got eu 2.71 and i get error message when i try to dl off the jap site? is there anywhere else they have em? like for eu or america?
im gonna wait for more demos to come out before i update
The last 2 upgrades provided by Sony havent had any useful features so whats the point?
well seems odd that sony would release a update so soon,in fact every update that has come out in jp comes to uk a few days later.
strange that this has been rushed out so quick to all regions
..
how can no5 say such crap pimp streamer,links many more the list continues.you have no apreciation for what is available.
but if you dont like what the community and developers are offering then simple be a noob and upgrade to 2.71
if your refering to me dumbass im refering to where im from.so stop trying to be a smart ass
sony sucks trying to separate us from our beloved homebrew
so since you can put the demos on your memory stick, why cant someone just compare what allows the to demo to work, and why isos wont work and then add or take away what is or isnt needed?
lmao......its really ironic how 'PSPUpdates' hates....erm.....PSP updates lol.
but yh....unless they release a reasonably useful firmware update.....i doubt anyone would be upgrading. on the other hand.......i bet the dev's will discover a exploit for 2.7 and then you get them little 10 year olds coming in the comments section saying "oh man....i wish i did neva upgrade my psp to 2. 7111111!!".
people, stick with your current firmware PLEASE.
anyone know if the yet to be realeased modchip "undiluted platinum" will work with this firmware
after reading no.12's comment im starting to wonder.......maybe sony rushed this firmware release out because they discovered an exploit in firmware 2.7 before the public did? hmmmm........it would be interesting if there was an actual exploit in 2.7.....maybe one that can even run homebrew more fluently than 2.0.
Did anyone get the psptv tab under [NETWORK]? after upgrading.
Also, to avoid flames, I have two psp's so I do keep one of them at the highest firmware.
God, LOOK for an exploit in the 2.70 firmware and i garentee you will find one. I am 100% sure! Trust me here hackers!
That would be the only I would upgrade but now having my 1.5 ever since last year I will never upgrade.
#21, that sounds possible... but... mmm...
This "fact" in untrue. I've updated myself and that option is not there(I've confirmed this with many users on other message boards). As for homebrew on 2.71? I wasen't even aware homebrew was availible for anything higher than 2.6. You guys are getting sloppy...
No problem with upgrading, especially that now some actual good games are coming out. If I ever want homebrew, I just pull out my GP2X. The PSX emulator on there is already released and progressing.
Here's a thing:
I decided to update using the psp's built in wifi network update function this time, instead of going through yourpsp.com
I ended up with the new firmware (v2.71) as expected, and the new features were as described on yourpsp.com except I've also ended up with a new icon under "Network" called "Portable television", which takes me straight to "P-tv" - the Japanese service that lets you pay for and download jap tv clips direct to your psp (except that I cant work out how to because I dont speak japanese! - a shame in a way, as it appears to be advertising free downloads of world cup highlights, but thats another story...)
I'm assuming it did this because I've got a jap psp, so the network update function has directed it to the jap psp firmware's server.
Thing is, so far we've all been under the impression that the network updates are identical across territories. However, I'm willing to bet that the US and EU firmware v2.71 dont include this P-tv feature (I cant test them out on my psp now I've updated it using the jap one because if I try to install the EU firmware update over the jap one, it wont do it and tells me there is no need to update as I have the latest system software)
Just thought I'd mention it because if future firmware updates are going to become increasingly tailored to territory, then this may have implications for those of us who have Jap or US psps (such as, do you opt for the firmware update from the same region as your psp to absolutely ensure compatablility, or go for the EU one in case it includes EU specific features?)
I updated wit hthe US version and no PSPTv tab. Shame.
hmmm...not much in this update other than "security" i see. Don't upgrade! Stay with homebrew, which is free! #5, quality homebrew is in the making. Remember that these betas like iris and the N64 emulators will someday become quality games that anyone would love to have on a handheld. The PSX emulator will undoubtedly require the latest firmware plus a lot of money, but guess what, the n64 is a much better system with more great classics like zelda and donkey kong. Nintendo didn't switch to an audience that consists purely of four-year-old ***** suckers until the gamecube!
my point being, just like in all of my posts, $ony can go to hell for updating its "security" and throwing in some small benefits to get people to upgrade. Man, just get a UMD loader, then ur laughing at $ony when ur running the newest games on a 1.5 PSP! Homebrew web browsers and flash players are being worked on in the meantime
I already upgraded my psp to v2.71 ,and I dont care becouse I already got my psp moded with the Platinum chip. It works like a charm. jajajajajajajaj ajajajajajajaja j ajajajajajjaajjjjjjjjjjjjj jj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaajjjjjjjjj jjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaajjjjjjjjj jjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjj
that modchip would rock. Is it easy to install? if so, i'll get it and this firmware
One word for you No. 31, Spackerrrrr! Yup, that's right. The chip isn't even out yet and if you think it's humerous, you've got it wrong. And if you flame me, take in mind I'm only 14 and that's a bit sad isn't it :) Good day.
Even though I have 2 PSPs I still don't want to upgrade to this FW. I still want to play 2 player Homebrew apps. Sony's being rediculous with these updates.
Becuase it's not in the US 2.71
demo downloads on the jap website doesnt work. via psp browser :(
I used my JP psp for the upgrade, and aside from no Goto Network Service feature, I did get the tab for psptv with the japanese ver.
Plus, what is the Goto Network Service feature?
to the 2.71 through network update. ( i live in US) and all i got was the psptv tab, no network service thing.
theres no new icons it all looks the same as 2.7 but i still got my 1.5 so it don't really bother me but neone no nething about this?
You know what? Sony can suck my balls
Wow, this looks like an enticing reason to update...
What they need to do is when 3.0 comes out they need to hack the ***** out of it...
''When are you dumbasses are going to learn that the UK is NOT Europe. Damn...''
We are part of Europe
I have my original v1.5 psp for homebrew and I bought another used one (so sony doesn't make more money) that came with v2.6. The GTA exploit is kinda a pain and homebrew running on it is pretty limited so I might upgrade that one.
It might have new security that will identify the flash 0 chip.
If it is not the orginal psp one (samsung i think) the firmware will not load, so they might be trying some new security for the modchip.
Plus why are there dumbasses upgrading to 2.71.
Ok i understand that if you have a 2.60 and was REALLY REALY SUPER DIE HARD for flash and Loco Roco you would. But 2.71 Theres nothing new there why update and risk new security features.
for all you loosers with 2.01 and up , go ahead and upgrade!
but for me with a 1.50 , I could care less about all the things it can do!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!Suck ers!!!!!!!!
agreeing with #18
If there is a way that they can get the demo's to work, then there clearly is going to be a way that games and homebrew will be able to use the same gateway.
So all you hacking nerd, love your work, crack that *****.

HAHA I ALREADY HAVE PSP VER> 3.0............usin x-flash..BUT ANYWAY(ok ill stop woth the caps) anyway this update sux. i havent updated but from wat i heard everyone is gettin different stuff...sum get psptv tab sum get sum network thingie. im never gonna upgrade till 1) i get another PSP 2) that modchip comes out and is proven to work with all FWs
sony, you are crippling our consoles please stop this *****
updates are for people with either 1 of 2 things:
the person either has another backup 1.00 or 1.50 psp
or that person is completely insane.
ill stick to 2.60
Number 49,your full of *****.Now,how do i get demos on the psp?
48, it's not a gateway that the demos use to run. The demos are signed off to be be able to run. They have the specific codes necessary to tell the psp that they are fine. Sony never just locked every single thing out, they just locked out anythign that wasn't signed. After they're signed ofcourse they're encrypted.
What I'm confused about is you could run the locoroco demo at version 2.7, why is that on the list of added functionality? Did they change that demo so it could no longer run?
Another nail in the coffin for psp homebrew...
Another Huge boost for the GP2X ^_^
2.71 update is now available for USA download but DO NOT DO IT!!!! There really is no reason to update unless you own a location free player. This is like mentioned above, a way for Sony to patch a mistake they must have made in last months 7.0 update. Screw you SONY, you money hungry putz!!!!
I dont know about you guys, but i got homebrew to run perfectly on 2.71.

no u dont #55 ur an idiot
stay with your frimware dont upgrade to 2.71
alright lets say that I upgrade my PSP to 2.71, and then I get that mod chip when it comes out, so I can have 2 firmwares... do you think that chip will work with 2.71?
pre-order a mod chip...upgrade...play all current games...when your mod chip arrives...flash 1.5 onto chip... no worries
you guys know what.. i wonder if they made an upgraded for 2 reasons..
#1 - they might have already a mod chip and patched it..
#2 - with ppl making their own flash homebrews like (PSPTetris) maybe they found out that.. it might be dangerous.. ( A NEW EXPLOIT???)
I just wrote an email to Sony telling them to EAT $hit!!! they are un-respectful with us.. they will allowed homebrews apps on PS3 but not on PSP.. that is just to pisses us off! IM out of sony's trails.. PSP was the last video game system that I bought from them.. im going with Xbox..
PLEASE HACK THOSE *****TY FIRMWARES SOON AS YOU CAN HACKERS!
GO HACKERS GO!
I THINK SONY MADE UP THE MODCHIP RUMORS SO THAT PEOPLE UPDATE THEIR PSP THINKING "AAAHH,A MODCHIP WILL BE RELEASED ANYWAY,SO LET'S UPDATE..!!"
D O B E C A R E F U L . . . ! ! !
WHAT IF WE MADE SOME SORT OF OUR OWN DEMO.
to made them run.. you need the Sony KEY.. or else.. it wont be loading..
That idea is crazy enough to work... and it wouldn't surprise me if Sony did that.
There HAS to be an exploint in 2.7. It is just like when they figuered out that 1.5 still had all homebrew capabilities and when 2.0 had flash write access they hurry up with an update to patch I swear it's gotta be
Im so glad I can filter unregistered comments...
Anyhoo, I can't wait for the PSX download service to open
I think my opinion is worthwhile, but really i'm just a worthless addition to a community that strives for the freedom from franchises.
REVOLUTION!@#$
I have two psp and u know i will upgrade the japanese one and let the us one 1.5
How...I just got a PSP and Updated it without thinking...Is there anyway to downgrade or which homebrews do you have working
homebrew can kiss my racist ass
I really love firmware updates : ) it makes me so happy when i go network update and it says theres a newer version lol, even if there is nothing really ( like this one) new but i still love it. anyway i insatalled it and i downloaded the new demo, it would be cool, if i knew how to play it lol and i gotta guess through the menu cuz i'm not japanese. But i'll say this, loco roco is the *****, i'm gonna buy it when it comes out, its as good as lumines ;P k well i cant wait for the next update hopefully its 3.0 with some bomb diggity shiz p.s. homebrew is gay...go take ur sega and nintendo's out of ur old box and blow the dust off and use it...come on use ur psp the way its meant to be used losers. much love -arash
USA, Japan & the UK...
since when did sony change region europe to the uk?
i'm going to update just for 2 demo's that's in japanese.
LIKE AS IF.. SONY CAN STICK IT IN THERE TIGHT A$$ HOLES
I got a second PSP, finally deciding that my first PSP is going to remain a homebrew development machine for ever. :)
Really happy with it too - the d-pad is much better, if a bit loose, it is also much higher up so easier to use. All the buttons are better anyway.
I upgraded it immediately and will keep doing so as new releases are made in Europe. After I upgraded I went to the Japanese site and downloaded both game demos, found them on my memory stick and could play them right away. Very nice, seamless stuff!
And the demos are actually very good, too. Loco Roco is an amazing little game, I love it. And the other game allows you to play Sudoku at 4 different difficulty levels, and has some nice special effects and feedback things, and you lose a life each time you make an error. It's much better than I expected, really.
So, these are great developments, and I hope being able to download demos is going to be the norm, just as you could get PS2 game demos on a demo disc with the Official Playstation Magazine.
Sony's playing smart, next you'll see firmware version 3.00 with playable demos of Gran Turismo and more. That's going to be hard to resist updating.
Having 2 psp's, I still see no reason to upgrade either of them. I will likely upgrade one of them when I get a PS3 and there is sufficient bennifit in the interaction between the PS3 and PSP. I'm not going to upgrade just because I get a PS3.
Options that I would consider upgrading for:
1) Homebrew allowed
2) V.O.I.P. services
3) PS3 as Location Free Player (location free player is currently the first time I have ever seen a product peripheral cost more than the product it is designed to work with. What a joke.)
4) G.P.S. Not a lame one, I'm talking full functioning with useful options.
5) Keyboard or more effective input method (seriously, can $ony really be happy with that O.S.K. they have?)
Alright, I'm done dreaming. back to the real world.
well on the official us psp site, they now have the 2.71 update, there is no mention of a new icon so that must be jap psp only. of note however is the mention of locoroco being the "only" downloadable demo at the time then in parenthesis(sp?) says (demo release TBD)
so i'm led to believe that we will be getting our own demos just have to play in japanese for now.

are you kidding me.... the homebrew things are created by people who dont get paid to do that and are mostly man teams not as educated as other people who have a whole company working on a game for months... so go kill yourself

yours german nico
I have a tab called Portable TV... what is it? its all in japanese so i'm guessing i have it because i have a japanese psp
updated to 2.70 now have to play games in dark because screen to dark any help
Sony doesn't like homebrews because of the jerks that hack UMD .ISOs. If people download UMDs onto memory sticks, then Sony loses sales. Sony secretly enjoys the NES, SNES, GBA, and N64 emulators because they might make the Nintendo "Viirtual Console" feature on the Revolution practically useless. Perhaps developers could persuade Sony to allow these and other homebrews to run on the PSP as long as they are certified by Sony. Homebrews also give people a reason to buy the PSP as it is the only system that can be homebrewed easily. People buy a DS when they think that Sony is undermining its customers buy forcing them to get stupid upgrades. Unless Sony comes up with some really neat features, such as free online games and portable TV, it may well end up like the many others that tried and failed to dethrone Nintendo from its portable perch.
what can you use flash 6 for
for flash dumb @ss
go here-its in another language,-but you get it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P64C3RL8G34&search=2.7
the best is v1.50
I have a PSP 2.7
Flash runs but very slow
memory runs out quickly
demos for 2.7 are 2-D such as LOCOROCO
LOCOROCO demo from Japan works on American PSP
2.71 is the same as 2.7
same games for both just a little more work to get
LOCOROCO on 2.7 than 2.71
for those of you with 2.7 not 2.71 and want LOCOROCO
go to this website to download the demo from Japan

who knows how i can contact the epople at mph
i need someone to create an overflow for me
not a tiff overflow i need a good coder respond in this forum if you are interested in helping and you have coding experience
Part 1: 2.71 is sooooooooo *****en buggy. Today i was listening to music and in the middle of the song it just skipped 2 the next song. i was like wat the *****. Then i looked back and i see the file just freakin became corrupted. This is the 3rd time its happened. Then, i went on the internet, went to pspcrazy.com from my bookmarks and then when i tried to go to aimonpsp.com from my bookmarks, all my bookmarks dissapeared. This has happened 6 times! Is it my memory card? Is it my 2.71 firmware? Has this happened 2 anyone else?
Part 2: What if someone made a homebrew app with a game sharing feature. Then a friend with a 1.5 (or 2.6 if they have gta) could install the app then select game sharing from the homebrew and the person with 2.7 or 2.71 could select game sharing from the psp's menu. You would only be able 2 use it once but it would still be cool. Would this work?
99 your an idiot translate what the psp says it says no update nessecary
i checked on babel
to 103 no that would not work because the game would still be unsigned
You know, maybe the reason why sony keeps attacking homebrew is so that you will go out and buy a second psp. How many psp's have been sold? Probably a *****load. Blocking homebrew on new versions means that in order to get the best of both worlds, you have to buy another system. So if everyone does that, the number of psp's sold is multiplied by 2.
Sounds logical to me.
Well, what i think theres always a loop hole for everything theres no surely secure program,firmwar e etc theres ALWAYS a loop hole you just gotta try hard enough and find it. thats all
lemmee tell u ppl sumtin about 2.71
nobody cares....
all i want is a simple link to downoad 2.71 for uk, psp version 1003! is there no simple link?
Its been a *****en month since the 2.71 update. The only thing that update included was the ability to download game demos. hmm, but when u think about it, there was no update because there is no difference bettween 2.70 and 2.71. If your going to have an update for gamedemos, maybe u should accualy release some. R there any other gamedemos beside locoroco and the 1 that begins with a k?
the comment i made will no longer work b/cus of the newer version 2.71 instead of 2.7
ok umm i got this tif overflow and it was for all firmwares sould i truste it it has pictures but thay look so fake sould i trust it i dont want to brick my psp
