PSP 3.00 Firmware Update Released with Online Manual |
Listed in: Firmware, News, Wi-Fi Tags: Asia, emulation, Motion JPEG, PlayStation Network, psp firmware, Sony, Tetsuhiko Yasuda

For today! We just got word from badrix that the Playstation Portable 3.00 Firmware Manual has been posted up on Sony's site. The manual details some of the mundane details for your typical firmware update, however there are a few hot topics in there which demand attention. I'll tell you right off that there was no information in their updated manual regarding the PSP supporting homebrew with firmware 3.00, and this was a rather large disappointment. On the other hand, the few additions that were made were helpful, one might even say overdue, but these added pleasures were still bitter sweet.
Remote Play - Remote play is a new feature in Firmware 3.00 that allows you to remotely control your PlayStation 3 from your PSP. This also includes the display of PS3 content on the PSP. "You can display a PLAYSTATION®3 system screen on a PSP™ system and play content that is on the PS3™ system. To use this feature, you must adjust the necessary settings on the PSP™ system and the PS3™ system." Using this new mode of playback, one can control the Photo, Music, Video, and Internet Browser features of the PlayStation 3 from a remote location via their Playstation Portable.
Video Compatibility - In this updated version of the Playstation Portable firmware, you are also able to play a few new video formats. The Motion JPEG format (M-JPEG), is an "informal name for multimedia formats where each video frame or interlaced field of a digital video sequence is separately compressed as a JPEG image" (Wikipedia). The PlayStation Portable plays both the Linear PCM and the μ-Law versions of the Motion JPEG video format. In addition, you will now be able to access the Camera (functionality) from the photo option menus, for quicker easier access when taking photos or video. Another nifty function is the ability to finally turn off Auto Play for inserted UMD Discs via UMD Auto Boot. (Thanks zerojay)
PlayStation Games - Here's the big tip you've been waiting for. Finally, Sony is going to drop their highly anticipated PlayStation One emulator onto the PSP. From the manual however, there seems to be a unavoidable catch. If you don't have a PS3, your not going to be enjoying PlayStation One games emulating on Sony's PlayStation One emulator for PSP anytime soon. From the manual it states that you must connect to the Playstation Online store with your PSP connected to the PlayStation 3 in order to download and play the games. In addition, they mention that you can in fact share the games, but you must activate the other system in the Friends menu as a PS3 Network Account.
Now to top it all off right before posting this, I came across a tip submitted by Jordan. Which led me to a post made by 0okm and from the looks of things, it would appear the PlayStation Portable 3.00 Firmware will be out soon - as soon as Today! just a few days, on November 22 to be exact, according to Sony Asia's Managing Director Tetsuhiko Yasuda. Remember, Sony didn't mention anything about homebrew this time around either, so make sure you are aware that the current methods for playing unofficial games will probably not work. No matter the consequences it would appear that if your looking to get into some PlayStation One gaming on the PSP, for now, you know what you gotta do...
Update: Just got wind that PSP 3.00 Firmware is out now! We have obtained the file and are uploading it as you read. If you were thinking about updating, check your network settings, reports have come in it is up and ready via network update as well. With the Japanese 3.00 firmware update finally out on the net, we can only assume it will appear in stores on the shelf very soon as well.

THIS IS THE FABLED 3.0 FIRMWARE
WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARDS TO THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR!!
SO MANY PROMISES...
SO MANY SPECULATIONS...
SO MANY EXPECTATIONS...
all rippd to shreads.
everything that we've been hearing about these past months.. none of it is in the firmware at all.
all this 3.0 firmware is is a few small updates to the video.. and new options with the PS3.
we all thought this firmware would be revolutionary.
in my opinion, its worse than the 2.7 update.
at least that gave us something totally new- demos.
a dissappointment .

No wonder why and how fast you're loosing people support, you stupid money freaks. Also thanks to next-gen retard gamers, most of games nowadays have crappy gameplay, no background, few personnality and only fancy graphics.

ever since I heard sony was creating a playstation emu for the psp, I was expecting some homebrewers to "borrow" that code for a 1.5 version. because if sony can do it, we can too.

Here's my prediction.
Sony will take so long to implement downloading games onto your PSP without the use of a PS3, that someone else will figure out how to distribute the games, and since the only way most people will then have of obtaining the games will be through piracy, Sony will in essence have promoted piracy. HAHAHA

They never lied, they stated their road map for the PSX emulation. First through the PS3 Playstation Store, then after, they will make the PlaystationStor e for the PSP.
Some of you are idiots in thinking they would do it for PSP without testing it to make sure you cant crack it.

looking on sony's side tho... the reason why they want us to get our psp games like this is b/c they done want any pyracy adn making u spend an extra $600+ to play their ps1 games is what they want us to do in order to "fix this" problem. well u kno what... take ur $600+ ps3, put it up ur ass and have sun hardcore anal with it.I NOT UPDATING CUZ I CANT PLAY ANY PS1 FU*KIN GAMES
if sony were really smart, theyd lmake the ps1 emu delete a necessary file if it was used with an illegal copy of a ps1 game.... but noo. SONY FU8KIN SUX ON BIG COX SO THEY DONT THINK OF SH1T LIKE THIS.

OMG...i feel sorry for those without internet access. but you can always go to your friend's house and use his/her internet connection and update it or go to starbucks and update it. Why would they put it in stores?

If you don't like SONY PRODUCTS, don't buy them! Jeez. Nobody is forcing you to upgrade the PSP, nor did they force you to buy the PSP, nor did they force you to buy games that make you upgrade.
If Sony was such a bad company, they wouldn't have sold out the PS3 in minutes. If you disagree, then stop buying SONY products. If you already have a PSP, but you like homebrew instead, then why are you commenting on the new firmware? You won't upgrade anyways!
For God's sake......SHUT UP

This is the reason why people download music, games, programs at mass. The companies charge way too much for a product that should be free or low cost. If they dont let us download without PS3 Im done with Sony, period.

Well, if we want to play any virtual console games, I need to buy a FREGGIN Wii?!?! Screw Nintendo. And while I'm at it, $5/PS1 game isn't bad when you compare it to how the virtual console's pricing scheme is
$5/NES game
$8/SNES game
$10/N64 game
$8/Genesis game
$6/Turbographx game
freg, $5 PS1 game = $5 NES game?! The PS1 was in the same generation as the N64!!! Piece of crap Nintendo, they should die too!!!
Seriously... quit your whining. Sony is trying to add benefit to the PSP, and all we can do is complain about how we didn't get this and how we have to do that. Besides, think of it as a "FREE" upgrade (if you want to).
If you want to have added features to the Nintendo DS, guess what? You have to PAY FOR IT! And sure, you're not forced to buy these things, and neither are you forced to upgrade to the newest firmware.
Just because Sony has a bad rep right now, doesn't mean we have to destroy them while thinking that whatever Nintendo does is a good thing.
Besides, Nintendo is profitable... guess who they are making money off of (aka ripping you off)? That's right, you and me, the consumer.

I can see why u need a PS3 to download ps1 roms.
im geusing that something has to be written in the PSP's internal memory to valadate the PS1 eboot so u cant just buy the rom, download it, publish it on the internet then allow people to download it to theirs.
if im wrong (and i hope i am!!) the roms will be on file sharing networks very shortly!!
------------------------------------------------------------
and yes the firmware will be hacked eventually (like the other 20 so called un-hackable firmwares) and pirate copys will be playable!!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Other hacks could be made (every look at fanjita), bugging a ps1 rom or making a router to act like a PS3!!

So the fact being, they are using a full proof medium to ensure they can keep the purchase of the PSX game off the internet, because even if someone does upload the eboot, you wont be able to run it on other PSP3.0 because each eboot is encoded to the PSP it was uploaded to.
So it may be possible to load PSX games on multiple PSPs but it has to be from the same PS3. You want be able to upload it online to play them.

1. Just because it was said at E3 doesn't mean it's a promise and will actually happen. It's not like Kutaragi called a press conference and said "I PROMISE that we will [insert anything]." For example, at a previous E3 (which many are still still mad about) Sony and PolyDig said GTMobile would be a launch title. have we seen it? No. Why? E3 is about HYPE, to get you interested in a product...
2. If you ever read the release that said that PS1 games would download straight to PSP (as opposed to just reading the little QJ overview) you would know what was actually said, which was that it would happen, but at first you would need a PS3, and straight to PSP downloads would come later, once Sony was able to implement the system into the PSP online network.
3. The only reason you think the PS3 is 'shyty' is cause you either can't afford to buy one or mommy told you it was too expensive, so zip it kid.

I like my psp so much that i wont pirate any ps1 games.
I hope credit cards aren't the only means of buying ps1 games through there store, mabe have a pay pal account support will be great. if however they only provide it for credit card holders, then option pirate isn't a bad deal...............

cool, cause if you want Sony to keep making this stuff you gotta support them sometimes, besides 5 bucks a game isn't too bad (costs the same as a pack of smokes), I won't say I don't pirate, cause I'd be a liar, but I can back 5 bucks a game :) I just want to be able to download the games straight to my PSP ;)
As far as paying for the games, if I remember correctly Sony said they would offer something similar to the iTunes gift-cards, you know the ones at retail stores where you can buy a 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. gift card with cash and then use it online. Good for those with bad credit or aren't old enough to get a credit card.

first, Sony takes alot of time and effort into the making of their products. If you don't like it, then do something about it!Cuz if you have the time to sit hear and complain about it, then you can go do something about it. I think updates are a wonderful idea. They are free, and u never need to buy another psp as the technology is updated. And ifyou don't like what's in the update, then don'
t use it! Just wait, and eventually they will come out with another update. And if it never happens then go and buy a device that is specific for you needs. The psp wasn'tmade to do everything!
