Heads up, North America: PSP FW 3.50 now available

PSP FW 3.50 - Image 1

A few hours ago, Japan got the big Three-Point-Five-Oh. It was only a matter of time before the happy elves of Sony got to work with a version for North America. So, straight right out of the official U.S. site of Sony, PSP Firmware 3.50 is now available below for your perusal.

So what exactly are we looking at here? The biggest feature of this FW update is your handheld compatibility with its console brother, the PS3. The recent FW 1.80 for the PS3 opened up Remote Play, and now, this PSP FW 3.50 is what will finally make things go full circle. Here's a changelog from the Sony's NA site:

Network

You can now connect a PSP system to a PS3 system via the Internet using [Remote Play].
[Communication Settings] has been added as an option to the [Remote Play] menu.
[RSS Channel Guide] has been added as a feature under [RSS Channel].

Just in case you're new to the PSP scene and it's your first time to update your system firmware, you can click the Read link below for more info on installation and other notes from Sony.

At least it's funny to see all the people who "FIRST OLOLOL!" like 20 times after someone is already first xD. Lol newblets.

Anyway, i'm sort of sad.. I just got 3.40 OE-A running on my psp last night, I don't wanna have to update again soon :(. Wonder how long it takes alex to make his custom from release?

Ah. How simple the young mind (I'm still a teenager, heeheehee) works.

I give DAX (for the record, am I the only one the refers to DAX plurally? I mean, aren't they a team, not one person, singular?) 1-3 days. Those guys are too awesome.

-hugs Sony-

Thanks again.

# Update is AWESOME!!! — Guest 2007-05-31 13:38

Think about it! It is 250% better than 1.0!

Dark_Alex. Help us.

# my position — Guest 2007-05-31 13:38

and i'm sure all other custom firmware users agree... the Sony update doesn't mean much... until there is a new custom firmware, why update? Unless you're suddenly tired of homebrew...?!

# Yup. — Guest 2007-05-31 13:53

Too bad booster is dead to the homebrew scene. i'd love to see a new devhook, but we all know that'll never happen because custom firmwares are the "shiznit" now supposedly. I'm sticking with 3.11 in devhook, i don't really care for the custom firmwares too much =\. and no i'm not scared for any of you noobs out there lol, i downgraded my PSP from 3.03 to 1.5 and it was TA-082, did that twice and a few times for friends. So I really could care less about flashing my PSP. I just don't like the custom firmwares

# I got pwned on my math SAT — Guest 2007-05-31 14:11

umm...actually it's 350% wtf don't u know math. what's 1.0 x 3.5...

# no — Guest 2007-05-31 14:12

god i love the black people

# ... — Guest 2007-05-31 14:21

SPAM! Ham in a can!

# ... — Guest 2007-05-31 14:24

jp...wonder when custom firmware going to come out

Wow, you're a *****-*****.

# ... — Guest 2007-05-31 14:28

Noobs who dont know what jp means.

# Apprently I'm a Publisher now lol — Guest 2007-05-31 15:22

Anyway this sucks ass my PSP wont register to my PS3 cause I patched mt motherboard to get OE to load which is something I did not know about that it messes with the keys required to register to the PS3 so I'm *****ed! And no one is helping me even if I upgrade to maximum it wont work.

# hello — Guest 2007-05-31 15:25

When is the downgrade going to come out?? I uptaded to this without knowing... damnit..... what can I do now?

# ... — Guest 2007-05-31 15:33

f

uck you guys

# ... — Guest 2007-05-31 15:38

and f

uck you too

# uhh no, you did — Guest 2007-05-31 15:41

No, it'd be 250% better. 350% better (keyword better, not 350% as good) would be firmware 4.50, dumbass.

# Dumb — Guest 2007-05-31 16:00

Kick your self in the ass you idiot!

You don't deserve an OE firmware you are too dumb to use it anyway

# skies — Guest 2007-05-31 17:01

What a try hard.

# Not much, you *****ed yourself. — GiveHaste 2007-05-31 17:18

Lets see, you can:

1. Wait a few months and they likely find an exploit to downgrade using, or they do in a newer firm

2. Trade your psp with a friend that doesn't care about brew and has a lower firm on his

3. by a new mobo with lower firm and replace the one in your psp

4. buy a new psp and sell the old

# ugh — Guest 2007-05-31 17:42

wtf are you talking about?!, just download chilly willy's key cleaner and use that to fix keys that are bad, and visit his forum and you can read through the 27 pages on how to get your keys perfect through hex editing ... no need to worry about anything + there is no custom firmware out for 3.50 yet anyways so its features will be useless to you until then... i dont understand what your issue is - you are misinformed i believe and severely overreacting

# Suckny — Guest 2007-05-31 17:53

u cant play homebrew and iso on Sony firmware wtf are u thinking. retard

Perhaps the lad didnt want to pirate video games and wanted to support the developers that made them? So he DOESNT use friggin ISO's. ISOs are for poor people who cant affored video games (like u)

# yo — Guest 2007-05-31 18:02

First post! **** you all! =)

# HAHAHAHA — Guest 2007-05-31 18:54

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHA SHAM N00B oMg i cant belive u upgraded!! u were at 1.5 then...then.... SCREWED UP

# to no shi.t... — Guest 2007-05-31 19:28

man everyone updates the psp without knowing bastard. Even i did it and i had a freakin 2.00 when i updated to 2.60. We all wanted to know what the new features were. No one knew about the homebrew when they buy their very first psp. So give the guy a break.

Back on topic: What the hell is [RSS Channel Guide]?!

# what... — Guest 2007-05-31 19:31

the...HELL is wrong with you!?

# wtfbbq — Guest 2007-05-31 20:33

that song is 10 years old! where do you live, darfur? LOL!

# Hmm.. — Guest 2007-05-31 20:37

Dark_AleX screwed this one I think because my ISO backups don't seem to work on this release... Is there any pach or something I don't know?

Well I was happy with 3.40... Where do we get 3.50 downgrader? Help needed. Send me if you have: freddielizzard at gmail

# Dark Alex didn't make this — Guest 2007-05-31 21:06

You upgraded to the official FW and now you're f...ucked

# bingo dude — Guest 2007-05-31 22:48

yes this is great firmware but i myself admits that 3.50_oe is the cream of the crap er crop. and the internet remote play is a lil nonsense to me because free wifi access on outdoors is pretty much a needle on a haystack.

# ff — Guest 2007-06-01 00:28

ihave firmware 3.40.

what can i do to play iso games and run the"remote tv controler"etc

tell me your opinion about 3.40 oe

# worthless — Guest 2007-06-01 00:43

completely crap update.

# Yeah — Guest 2007-06-01 01:04

You pretty much just f***ed yourself there. YOu were at 1.5 then upgraded to FW 3.5. Dumb move. DOn't you know to wait for oe to come out.

# haha u upgraded? — Guest 2007-06-01 02:46

what a f*cking moron im lmao i cant believe u thought this was custom fw where the hell did this article ever say that? U deserve not to have homebrew or run isos bish!

# AL RICH IS OMGFGHAHAHA — Guest 2007-06-01 03:27

Dude, I can't believe you hahahahahahahah hahah. If you were my friend from my neighbourhood, I'd spread a gossip that you're as gay as goatse! (But with a PSP in your.. *cough* ---- tiny ---- hole of course)

# Special release — Guest 2007-06-01 03:40

They release a special version for no-lifers with no friends -- you obviously got that one. To clarify, this is the release for normal people who have seen the light of day in the last month.

# To DJ — Guest 2007-06-01 04:01

Difference between your situation and his being that he has updated in the last few hours. Meaning he is an idiot and we don't want him on the scene anyway.

# STUPID! — Guest 2007-06-01 04:30

You are so stupid to upgrade that you dont deserve homebrew!

# ah — Guest 2007-06-01 04:48

my commiserations

i dont want to seem like all the forum trolls replying to this but wow

you must be feeling like a bit of an idiot eh?

fw 3.50 downgrader expected 2008 summer!

# gj — Guest 2007-06-01 05:18

?????.. why dont u like custome firmwares? only an idi.ot would use devhook when custome firmwares r abailable, u could use a CFW and u wouldnt have to use dehook never again. ur an id.iot!

# ?????????? — Guest 2007-06-01 06:52

This update should have been like much better like voip with the chotto shot, or a cache restriction lift on the internet browser. I feel as though sony still has not even considered their lineup for the 2006 calendar

# FUC*ING MORON — Guest 2007-06-01 08:00

that stupid ass guy upgraded thinking it was a custom firmware ahhaha what a noob bi*ch he should have his psp took from him and slapped for making such a stupid move.glad i was blessed with a whole brain unlike his 1/4 of a brain

# First — Guest 2007-06-01 13:28

# remote play advance ? — Guest 2007-06-01 14:16

Has any one try out the New advance remote play? Whenever I try My psp sign's in and then times out and boom I'm out. WTF am I the only one that this happens to? Have I set up the router wroung. anyone have some advice?

# 3.11 — Guest 2007-06-01 19:58

I just learned about what people can do with the psp and I want IN! so for starters is there a downgrader for 3.11 or am I screwed like that guy who upgraded to 3.50? if there is, can someone post a link that will show me STEP BY STEP on how to do it? im not the biggest tech nerd but Im no rookie.

# ... — Guest 2007-06-02 01:45

That song is from 2003 you idiot! And stop making racist remarks...

PS3 Rocks!

# THIS GUY IS A LIAR — Guest 2007-06-02 03:06

I'm buying a PSP off ebay and they have some pretty good deals... but.... I don' know which firmware some of them have. I'm good as long as it's not 3.5.... I sure hope it doesn't have that. (I mean the one I'm buying.)

It looks like Sony did something in 3.5 a lot different from the other which makes it a LOT harder to hack through.

Sorry to hear what happened to your PSP. Custome firmware usually has some extra letters by it to let you know about it. (OE) normally. Check at afterdawn.com. They have lots of info on trying to do stuff with a PSP.

# hheeeelllllpppp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! — Guest 2007-06-15 13:18

# ouch — Guest 2007-06-16 16:42
