woot

wow my first this 3.0 has been long come......

no PS1?

what the hell? they didnt even mention the ps1, the pride and joy of 3.0? if theres no ps1 then there not a chance in hell that im updating

ps1 emulation

I'm going to guess here that PS1 emulation is not in fact going to be built into the hardware, but is going to be a separate application. That'd make a lot of sense - the PS1 games never need a lot of memory, so the PSP has plenty of room to spare to just load in the application from software. And the application could be small enough for a memory stick at that. This would leave precious room on the Flash for the media features. But we'll see.

I don´t get it...

Why the f*ck do you keep hyping and hyping, about a stupid firmware update?! You guyz haven´t hyped any homebrew application as much as you´ve hyped this, rediculess firmware update! None of of us are going to update anyway...

good point, no update

true nobody is going to update lol we'll just sit back and wait on dark alex or booster or cool people like that to get this thing on dev hook. p.s. whats the big deal about 2.71SE its pretty useless desho ne? the joy of dev hook is that you switch from 1.5 to 2.71, isn't switching from a custom firmware 2.71 to 1.5 a bit silly? maybe its what you TA80.. people have to do. i don't get it.

maybe...

its coz there is no decent homebrew to hype about. everytime something gets near completion its dropped, or it runs into legal problems with sony and stops, or they just cant compete with official sony things (ps1 emulation, unofficial at 10fps, official at full speed, you choose)

yeah hope we get it soon

like, tommorow hehe, dam i would love tht. RESIDENT EVIL 1 ON PSP WILL OWN!!!

bmxadan

but wtf wheres the ps1 emulation

Now that's it's coming, I'm starting to think it might not be as convincing as I thought....

The only true reason for upgrading to 3.0 would be to play a brand new game or to use the new PS1 emulator. If the latter isn't in the firmware update, no one will really care about it. I mean, face it, if I wanted connectivity between a handheld and my console, I'd own a Gamecube and a Gameboy Advance (Note to Sony fanboys who love PS3-PSP: Didn't you guys call the GCN-GBA connectifity "a gimmick"?). Give me e-distribution and a PS1 emulator in the palm of my hand (WITHOUT the need for a PS3) and then I may pledge to upgrade like a religious fanatic.

?

are there some pics??

3.0!

out of all the people i know, (with a PSP) ill be the only one not to upgrade. im smart ill wait about 6-8-or maybe 12 months for it to be cracked :D. because that is how long its going to take, unless sony made a big bobo in this firmware that was so obvious it was too good to be true... ahem but PS1! ahh!

STOP PANICKING

retards sony has stated that ps1 is coming with about 10 games per month etc etc. *****ty games to start with. If they dont have it ready at 3.0 it will be soon after. JUST BECAUSE they dont immediately mention it DOES NOT MEAN that they cancel it :P Screaming queens!

Uzumaki-kun

the point of 2.71SE is that you don't need devhook, and you don't switch between the two firmwares, they're combined into one firmware. you get the best of both worlds 1.5 and 2.71, including 'backup' loading straight from the game folder. I loved my 1.5 with devhook but 2.71SE makes 1.5 w/devhook a little obsolete, you get all the homebrew functions of 1.5 (99% of 1.5 homebrew works on SE) plus all the sony 'improvements' in 2.71 (like RSS, H.264, etc. without having to emulate a damn thing) if you don't get it and don't see the advantages (you also get custom firmwares recovery mode) it's cause you don't understand what it is, try actually reading the release statements.

>.>

the playstation store is the psx emulators your retards, they already said the downloads woiuld be disponised trough playstation store, 3.0 firmware gives you the options to acess it and download into your mem stick

PSOne emulation

It's pretty likely that the emulation code is embedded in the EBOOTs that they distribute, no need to load it on the firmware. Making the PSP ready for the Online store seems to be the only thing needed in the firmware, in that case.

ps1 pfft

f ps1 emulation. just buy the stupid game for a penny and play it on your ps3. i will never upgrade, why? i got it all with homebrew. old ass games, who cares.

Morons..

Boneheads, they *did* mention PS1 emulation. It's called "remote play".

No..

Remote Play is wireless interaction between PS3 and PSP. Playstation Store is the PS1 emulation..

Release

What is the releasedate for this firmware

sony sony sony

with all these talking about the lack of the 32mb nand flash of the psp i wouldnt be surprised to know that the ps1 emulator comes as a umd....

i agree

... I wont update either if no PS1 EMU....

you people are *****s

Because you wont update because you prefer on playing old ass games, that doesnt mean anybody is not looking for news about fw3.0. I myself am hyped about this because of the ps1 emulator and stuff. I cant wait to play FF and GT again on my PSP. If you dont like news about fw3.0 because you are a cheap bastard and prefer downloading illegal ISOs, fine, thats your problem. But dont complain about 3.0 because some of us are really looking foward to it.

WHAT TEH

no play station 1. I NOT UPDATING EVEN IF I GET A PS3

naa

a wouldent update just for a PS1 emu ! think of sum good games for the ps1 that compair to the brilliant psp games?!?! wouldent even consider upgraden for a ps1 emu

No PS1?

So Sony forget to mention the best feature? I 'd be willing to bet it isn't ready and won't be with it... And are we all missing something, 2.82 patched a hole that no-one seems to have found and more security in 3.0? I'm confused...

i have updated 2.81

why put sony the high systemupdates to the umd`s i`ve musst update because of that ***** the devhook 2.xx to 2.00 sfo change didn`t work with my PSP so i musst update but i will never update to 3.00

not ready

The PS1 emulator is obviously not ready yet or not going to be released with firmware because sony would have made a big deal about it. I'm sure they'll find a way so it will only work with 3.0fw. I'm waiting until it's playable on 2.71se-b.

Not an Emulator as we know it....?

I was just thinking about this for a while, and Something clicked on... if we're going to be able to buy and download Playstation 1 games for use on PSP, you can bet your arse it isn't going to be in an easy to copy and distribute archive, i.e. Zip or .ISO, It's more than likely going to be some kind of new propriatary file, and more than likely, the PS1 games will be in eboot form, with the actually emulater componant part of the games themselves, as opposed to an emulator built into the firmware (afterall how are they going to squeeze the PS1 emulator into 2 megs of onboard flash out of the 32 that the psp has available...)

sup

wats devhook 2.xx

u

u r a wanker

/;

people on dis site r gay. all they ever go on about is bloody ps1. retards,geeks and neeks and people who r too lazy to get with the times all own ps1s...ha ha

well maybe

well think of this.. new firmware new bugs.... so .. yeah if there is a big change in firmware we might be able to see downgrader or more possible hacks!

doh

retards.. read about what the emulator is -> IT IS NOT an executable with distributed isos! It's an eboot PER GAME. There is no magical "emulator built into firmware" it's all in the eboots! So sony doesn't have to update ***** for that, all they need is a safe way to distribute them! REEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDD

Good job

Thanks for clearing that up dude. On Sony's part, that makes alot more sense than for them to embed an emulator in the 3.0 fw.

...

First of all Sony has NEVER said WHEN the PS1 emulation would be available or HOW it would work (actual emulator or signed eboot, etc.), so you should probably take your own advice and read, yes it will probably be encoded in the eboot, that makes the most sense since they will be signed eboots (official) that you are allowed to make a limited number of copies of (yes they said that could be an option in a previous press release). Second, the Playstation Store is not the PS1 emulation, it's a damn electronic distribution site. Third, If you go back and read previous articles they have said that initially you will most likely need a PS3 in order to download the PS1 games (I assume so that they can limit the number of copies that can be shared, kinda like they did with the check-in/out function for DRM protection with the first couple of SonicStage releases) and then transfer them to and from your PSP. Fourth, who cares if they will be copy-protected are you people really that cheap that you can't pay $5 to download one? If so, you people are the reason that, as you say, Sony has failed or Sony sucks or there are no good games. Of course they haven't made any superb ground-breaking games and why should they when you're all to cheap to buy them. I didn't hear anyone complain about paying $300 for a PS2 and $50 for a game when they came out, people lined up around the block to get one. Factor in technology and inflation (an economic concept you kiddies don't seem to get) and the PS3 and PSP are both comparable to the launch of the PS2. Suck it up and get some real jobs you dead-beats.

Stupid people

All the people who want to update don't know about homebrew or are stupid.There is no way in hell I'm updating my 1.50.

grr

ive been upgrading every new upgrade since the psp first came out because im stupid like that but thi new 3.0 firmwire is probably gonna tke some features out and put some features im never gonna be able to use anyway. this time im not risking it

Lost In Translation

With that crappy ass translation, who knows. Sony probably did mention the PS1 emulator, but it got lost/overlooked by whoever translated the Japanses site. Come on PSP Updates, how freaking hard is it for you guys to get a decent transalation. Instead of posting crap ASAP, wait a few extra hoursand get a good translation. That'll prevent rumers and confusion from popping up out of that half buttux jinglish yall post.

Re: Lost in translation

You do realize, that the text was translated by the Altavista translator, don't you? But yeah, kinda makes you wonder, how the hell QJ manages to NOT FIND/HIRE a native japanese speaker among either the users or the editors.

Sensible help needed

If f/w 3.0 is imminent, does this mean a 2.8 downgrader might be available soon? Please, before anyone starts berating me for being a noob or flaming me in some other way - I'd just like to say, i upgraded from 2.6 to play the Locoroco demo, noting that it required f/w 2.71. So I upgraded, thinking as you might (if you are new to the whole PSP scene), that I'd be upgrading to 2.71, but as it turned out, I found myself lumbered with 2.8. This all happened before I found out about homebrew and I deeply regret doing it. I realise someone will probably call me a dumb f****ing noob or accuse me of not researching before I do something, and hey, they are probably right. I just want to install some emulators on my PSP, and play Spectrum, SNES and MAME roms on the move. As such, I would really appreciate some sensible non-flaming comments from anyone who could let me know whether its likely to still be some time before this is a realistic possibility on my 2.8 PSP, or whether it might be best for me to try and trade it in for a model with an earlier firmware. Thanks.

ehhhh

*****ing n00b....

soz

year my bad, sorry i forgot to mention the biggest thing that has happened to the PSP ever. Must of sliped my mind!

re@ ehhhh

Thanks so much...

PS1 Games

this might be an misunderstanding but PS1 Games are freakin huge like 700 megs each and lets not forget ff7 which is like 3 discs so that rite there 2.1 gigs

for facs sake

Im gonna bloody flame u, u dum b ass. Therell never be any more downgraders, faking nooob

hmm no ps1 emulator...

man if they dont have the PS1 emulator.. i don think i woudl update either.. tht was the only reason i realy wana update to see what the ps1 emulator will look like.. but it seems like sony is hiding it.. thats just gay..

Re: Shivy

I may be a 'dum b ass', but at least I can spell. What is a 'dum b ass'? Does this mean I am a dum bass (fish or musical instrument)? Also, while I'm biting, (still on the general fish theme - you may be right in calling me a dum bass), what does faking nooob mean. Faking what? I am a noob in the sense that I have made a stupid mistake in upgrading to too high a firmware, but what am I faking? Faking being stupid? Faking being a noob (or nooob)? Not really - I'm just hoping that somewhere in this community there might actually be a few guys who are not too busy sucking their own *****s about how clever they are to not upgrade to help us few mere mortals. Make some sense for christs sake if you're going to try and insult me. Incidentally, with prats like you on boards like this, it won't be a surprise if the homebrew community I've been reading about over the last couple of months dies a quick death, on account of how everyone who might be interested in getting into the scene being insulted into oblivion and deciding to leave well alone. I'll direct this plea for some sort of sensible help to anyone who might just be big enough to actually help me with a bit of advice. This means I'm not asking the question of anyone who is just looking to try and be insulting, so if you're one of those guys, please, just go and find another playground to act big in.

they will have ps1 games

you download the to the ps3 and transfer them to the psp, i read it in an interview on traget.com in the ps3 section

um

can you use iso on the psp1 E

...

Yes you will need like a 4gig memory stick OR store on the ps3.

um

if you put a mod chip to the psp can you update it to 3.00 and can you use ISO and homebrew

not true

the latest updates are 20 or 21mb, not 30. so they have 12mb of room

I think

... that the 3.0 will have just the PS Store added. The emulation code is prolly in PS1 game eboot so not to take flash space (what 3 mb we have left) I bet someone will eventually port the PRX that handles the Playstation Store to 2.71SE. That's what I think. 2.71SE with Playstation store and/or remote play PRX's flashed in and PS1 emulation via 3.0 eboots running on 2.71SE kuz it's cool. :D

NO WAI

...You would have to be on drugs to upgrade.

Chances are...

They are going to compress the games a great deal. Therefore, you would probably be fine with a one gig card and be able to hold a couple of games on it. They've released nothing about it at all though, so who know what their going to do...

...

The only homebrew that is worth playing would be the emulators....meaning old games... IMO, older games PS1 and back are the only games I truly enjoy on consoles anymore..

QJ stated yesterday..

that 2.82 took between 26-28mb on the flash (or something close to that). The 20mb you are thinking of are probably before the updated flash files are extracted to be installed ;)

I agree

;)

i got lucky

looks like i got lucky and found out about homebrew when i was at 2.6, praise the lord for the eloader which provided me to downgrade to 1.5!!! :)

a

cant wait for 3.0 its gonna be awesome to use along wit ps3

As with anything..

You should always do research. I realize you didn't (like you said), but thats just a lesson learned I guess. At this point, there really is no way of knowing if a 2.8 downgrader will come out. All you can do is sit back and wait, upgrade, or trade it in (like you were wondering). Also take into consideration if your PSP is a TA-82. Not everyone here is a jerk...but unfortunately most people are. I'm just tired of the complainers really. Basically though, your best bet at this point is to try finding a lower firmware psp and trade in your old one...before all of the psps with lower firmwares run out. Waiting is always the other option, but remember, there is no date for a downgrader release, and there may never be one..

*hopeful downgrader*

sony would never allow anybody to downgrade if it was there choice but if they made a downgrade they would slap in the security features so your damned if you do and your damned if u dont

go ***** urself

that guy asked 4 help, and u guys pis sed on him. im the same story, only im not a noob. FU(K U preppy *****heads. God...

lol

And at the playstation boards we were all talking about 3.0 and then we got 2.70 then 2.71 then 2.80 and 2.81. some people werent expicting that lol.

Well I hope...

...that since the PS3 is going to support both homebrew (that's right, 100% compatability with all "3rd party" os and progs) and remote play... I hope that the PSP will be able to run homebrew at 3.0 (like a random gift from sony as in why would they make us wait...) either standalone or through the ps3

awww

well sadly i do not know about a downgrader for 2.8 to be out anytime soon. being able to break the firmware "code" takes alot of time and is very precise, so it could be a while. before i end this i want to tell u that u shouldnt say u realize people would call u a noob or anything, for instance Shivy down there, wow u are an @$$H013 datz rude n jus dum of u to say that, get a life u lowlife, dont put someone down for making a mistake because its mistakes which make u learn and make u stronger, and dont worr hopeful downgrader, im rooting u on that a 2.8 downgrader will be out soon. luckyily i still have my 1.5 :) take care

PFFT

PFFT screw 3.0 ill stick with my downloaded games thank-you-very-much

umm

Uhmmm YOUR GAY!??!?!???¿¿Äº¿

EXACLTY

EXACT

umm..

who the ***** cares about ps1 lol..

where is the update???

were is the firmware update? i thought it come out now!!!

ps1 emulation :(:(:(:(

playstation 1 emulation is a great idea i admit....unfortunatly i cant use it because you have to buy over the internet and i refuse to buy over the internet because i got frauded a few years ago and you can kinda guess the story... so yeah i have 3 choices: -hope they release umd versions of ps1 games -pray they release a different method of buying (e.g sms) - admit ive lost all hope and just pray for psxp final2 to play most games at around 15fps lol!

wha

i want homebrew but i updated to 2.82 since my brother wants to play demos. he just wants a Wii:(↕ fine now i get no omebrew but try to forget about it now he wants the ps1 em. so i have to update but i like some firmware features

YES THIS IS THEB BEST NEWS

thise is abig surprise playstation giving to me :) yes

when is it out

the update was supposed to come out today on the 11th.does anybody know what time they will release it.im dieng to know.please tell mei checked on the playstation japan website but its noty there yet.tell me when it is please :)

emulator

couldn't it rather be so that they're porting the PS1 games to PSP? Unless it's way too much difference it would be a much better idea, and that about the emulator coming in 3.x is probably just like normal games that it won't play on a low firmware even though it could

ARGHHH!!

This really ****es me off! for all you people who want a ps1 go to cash convertors and pick one up for 7.99 and get a few games for about 3.99 each and keep ur homebrew because when you get bored all we will hear is "Oh please find a downgrader 4 3.00"

OMG!!!

I WISH THE F******G FIRMWARE WOULD COME OUT ALREADY SO U JACKASSES CAN STOP POSTING, ARGUING, AND ALLTOGETHER STOP SPEAKING ABOUT IT... ALL I SEE EVERDAY I'M ON THIS SITE, IS V3.00 THIS V3.00 THAT, I WISH U GUYZ WOULD JUST SHUT THE FU*K UP AND WAIT 4 THE U.S. RELEASE... PRECIATEYA B*B*H*

wrong

Actually i heard they formatted the games to be muich much much smaller . Some games that used to be 400 megs on the ps1 are now even 40 mb or less

why emu?

Umm... i was pretty sure that the ps2 could run ps1 games natively on that system. So why would they have to emulate a ps1? Also, I have not seen any credible sources about a ps1 option on a psp. Its all hearsay and speculation. I can say that the psp is going to have an AI function in a firmware update that will be able to talk to you! lets all spread that around! YAY!! point is, I will belive it when i see it. but i hope it does happen... FFVII,FFVIII would kick ass!

PSP 3.0

I Have Version 2.81 I Was Looking On Homebrewcast Forum and basically they have a BETA Devhook That Doesnt Mount ISO's At The Moment. So You Could Use 2.81 until The Software Is There Or Upgrade To Version 3.0 Because Sony Aint Thick They Know The More Updates They Bring Out The Harder It Is To Hack. I Think People Like Dark Alex And Other Programmers Like My Self Would Rather Hack Into Version 3 And Give People A PSP 1 Emulator If It Hasnt Already Got 1.

hehe

so r u then... ur on this website... u posted a comment... hehehe

MEN MEN MEN

Can I slip my tip in your butt

LOL im wiv u

I no, i got 1.5 and i'm not going to update to stupid 3.00 S**T.STICK WITH 1.5. Some1 will probley emulate 3.00 so u can have the apps on your 1.5. 1.5 PWDS

Why is everyone flaming the noobs

anyone who is getting upset over dumb questions from noobs needs to get a life. R U some kind of f...ing Guru who cant be bothered by someone who just needs a little help. We were all there at one point and needed the same help. I wish someone gave me some tips or at least a few links where u can learn a bit more, we need to share information and encourage noobs so that we can fight the battle against Sony and there neverending updates and security together. So good luck and keep reading everything you can this goes for anyone new to the scene
