PSP Firmware 2.82 out! UPDATE

Posted Oct 26, 2006 at 5:40AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Firmware, News Tags: Location Free, memory stick, psp firmware, Sony

Like a sudden tight slap to the face of all PSP homebrewers, Sony has come out with the newest firmware update, v2.82. You won't find them on the official sites yet, because they're yet to be updated. But talking to zshadow, it seems that the updates are being rolled out right now through the Network Update feature.

Here's what's new in the latest homebrew-less PSP firmware:

Ability to play Flash content in the Internet Browser (Connection to internet required for license)
Connection Settings added under Settings in Internet Browser
Ability to save content added in RSS to Memory Stick
Automatic has been added under Rate in Location Free Player
UMD Video L/R button added under Video Settings in Settings
Ability to disable Chapter Skip feature of the L/R Buttons (UMD Video)
New playable extension - AAC
Simplified Chinese, Tradition Chinese added as new languages
RSS channel Settings added in Settings
Demos can now be downloaded from Browser and saved on Memory Stick
Video output can now be displayed correctly when an external tuner is selected in Location Free Player
Ability to download Video and Image content under RSS Channel
Ability to register devices via a wireless LAN access point under Location Free Player
Ability to play AAC files with .3gp extension under Music
Ability to play content saved in MUSIC, PICTURE and VIDEO folders on a Memory Stick
Added security strengthening revisions.

Update: Everything except for the last change has been present in firmware 2.80 and 2.81. The only thing which is new in this update is the bolded part, i.e. added security revisions. Although, when you do run the update, you will see the exact list which is present here. Our apologies for the confusion. And even though it's quite obvious, let us get one thing straight shall we?

You will not be able to use any homebrew on firmware 2.82.

Please do not rest your hopes on anyone cracking it soon.

In case you're still hell bent on shutting down homebrew on your PSP, you can download them for your respective region below. Though, once your PSP stops booting homebrew, remember.....We told ya!

Thats what I thought too. But GTA will be released in 5 days or so ? The game has allready been burned on umd , I assume otherwise, they will have problems shipping the games on time. IF GTA will require the new F/W, it means that Sony had this f/w for a while, and allready asked RS to recompile the game for the new f/w.

Is that new????

was reading stuff earlier about minors updating so is this part of the new security for them??? or was this in older user agreements???

# GTA — Guest 2006-10-25 22:01

Probably not, as GTA is out on Saturday (oct 28) and would have been shipped probably at least 2 weeks ago so the highest it would need is 2.81. That's why we have Devhook! :) w00tz0rz!

# Hey — PatrikStar 2006-10-25 22:02

Hey I'm registered lol

# nevermind — PatrikStar 2006-10-25 22:04

nevermind about that it looks like its in 2.81 end user thingy so ya nvm

# 2.82 and homebrew — Guest 2006-10-25 22:05

I just updated my PSP and all my homebrew WORKS ^^

# .. — Guest 2006-10-25 22:08

lier...

# babelfish translation — Guest 2006-10-25 22:10

If you run a babelfish translation on the website:http://www.jp.playstation.com/psp/update/ud_01.html

you get this:

The main function which is renewed with system software version 2.82

It corresponded to the vulnerability with respect to security of system software.

# Bolded — _F1 2006-10-25 22:12

The 2.82 update is bolded.

# or since i updated anyways — PatrikStar 2006-10-25 22:12

its tightening security is the only real update it said when i updated it

# yup — Guest 2006-10-25 22:15

Agreed XD

go get a live sony

# haha — Guest 2006-10-25 22:23

sucker. now u cant play homebrew. (unless u got more than one psp)

# u r a joker — Guest 2006-10-25 22:25

shutup !

# psp update — Guest 2006-10-25 22:27

Theres a lot of new files in this update and alot of secuirety but new files means new bugs

# Change log is wrong — aggie1138 2006-10-25 22:36

All that stuff they listed as "new" is from the 2.81 change log. Look at the Sony site under 2.81.

# FFS — Guest 2006-10-25 22:38

Christ some of you really need to stop *****ing and whining and go do some investigating for yourselves...

Translated by google, from jp.playstation.com

2.82 update notes

It corresponded to the vulnerability with respect to security of system software.

# .. — Guest 2006-10-25 22:42

yup..i saw this coming...i'm pretty sure it would have a different encryption key so that we can't decrypt it right away

and they're releasing it just before gta vcs for a reason

# Devhook and 2.81 ? — Guest 2006-10-25 22:47

Yongobongo, you said we have devhook for 2.81 ...

Is it new ? Do I miss something ?

The higher I get with devhook is 2.71...

# dercypter — kwastie 2006-10-25 23:13

decrypter works, the decrypted files are 35 mb.. much more then 2.71, i don't know why.. someone any suguestion's ?

# .2382 — Guest 2006-10-25 23:19

The FW 2.82 has the same alogithm so it can be decrypted easily ... but it's not useful

# dont do it — Guest 2006-10-25 23:19

Any1 with 2.81/2.82 can never have homebrew, it is nearly impossible to hack.. But 3.0 will be easy cos sony will put their heads in the toilet when they realise ps1 emulator helped the hackers.

# Why? — Guest 2006-10-25 23:31

Why would anyone want to update past 2.80? Theres no new fetures, but less homebrew

# Halloween — Guest 2006-10-25 23:35

When does the new loco roco demo come out?

# upgrading now — Guest 2006-10-25 23:38

i'm very happy

everbody upgrade, come on !!

sony is your friend

i love you all

# I see NOTHING new... :/ — RaiderX 2006-10-25 23:40

is it just me or that all repeated stuff thats already been added? we already have flash and downloadable demos and all that crap in 2.81. useless....

this is just gunna end up being required by VCS probably..

# heh — Guest 2006-10-25 23:46

Us commenters sound like a bunch of retards, don't we?

# j/w — Guest 2006-10-26 00:03

umm did anyone check if this has any secret update hidden in it for 3.0

# ... — Guest 2006-10-26 00:06

yeah becuz i kno becuz i thinnk becuz....

go learn english your *****ing moron

# Encryption key — Guest 2006-10-26 00:07

Probably just gave it a different key than 2.81, 2.8 and 2.81 were both decrypted.

# ??? — Guest 2006-10-26 00:12

if sony released a 2.82, that means they found a hole in 2.81. that means that if we all update to 2.81, and get ppl to look for holes, it would work, cuz sony just told us.

# pspcoder05 — Guest 2006-10-26 00:23

Never mind updating.

Cry :( sad news cuz more noobs are coming

with nooby downgrader posts.

# yeah right — PhoenixBh 2006-10-26 00:28

hahaha you wish!!!

n00bbbb

# damn — Guest 2006-10-26 00:31

You guys are so *****ing stupid... "OMGGG DONT UPDATE BECAUSE I LIKE TO GET GAMES FOR FREE AND KILL THE SYSTEM THAT SONY HAS GRACED US WITH!!!! OOOOOMMMMMGGGGG GGG I HATE SONY THEIR EVIL BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY WANT MONEYYYY..... OMG I SWEAR IVE HIT PUBERTYYYYYYYY."

# Expolit? — Guest 2006-10-26 00:33

hey

Does anyone else recon that there is indeed a hole in 2.81? As in, sony never realeases a scurity update, when there's no need to. And this one doesnt come with any ZOMFG features.

hehe thanks for the heads up sony, some of the best hackers will now be looking deeply into 2.81 =D

# woopsy — Brainiac 2006-10-26 00:34

Ah I should've known. Thanks.

# oh dear.... — Guest 2006-10-26 00:39

i wanna make a bet with anyone that sony wont release 3.00 with the PS3. it will be 2.9 or 2.95 or some ***** so all the noobz are wtf where is 3.00?

# DarK_AleX & BoOster — Guest 2006-10-26 00:49

The Decrypter mod of DarK_AleX works on this one but i think booster aint gonna make any devhooks anymore since he's suited by sony

They are watching him 24/7 ,,, he and his collegue dark alex are sony's biggest enemies at this moment in the psp scene

# Where is PSP-1006 & 1007 update Eboot — Guest 2006-10-26 01:12

Is there is any2.82 firmware update for PSP 1006 & 1007 models

# PSP 1006-1007 — Guest 2006-10-26 01:16

Any updates for these models

# 2.82 — Guest 2006-10-26 01:22

nuttin has been added i updated 1 of my psp all it says is revisions have been added to increse security

# The main question — Shrink 2006-10-26 01:26

The question of importance is right now: Did they correct the Tiff Loader?

May the Tiff Exploit stzill work?

Stop your useless comments. Try to figure out the really important questions.

So: Has anybody an answer yet?

# devhook is here! — Guest 2006-10-26 01:35

I just dl'd the new devhook, and it runs 2.82 !!!

# EXploit reply — Guest 2006-10-26 01:37

Theres bugs in every firmware maybe even more then one but the toruble is finding the f****** things lol

# ... — _F1 2006-10-26 01:47

What is wrong? The bolded part is the 2.82 update, ret*rd.

# LOL — Guest 2006-10-26 01:54

i am a 1.50 user and last night when i first got this...i downloaded the update.. just to see the changes. wellmy PSP is sooo cool that every time i startthe update it tells me Data currpt.... so even if i was tricked into updateing my PSP wont let me...

seee..... i love my PSP

and to all the PPL who has 2.80-2.81 do not update.... you'll just be asking for a Downgrader in every post.

you can update just don't bit*h about later on...

but the update...

# LOL — Guest 2006-10-26 01:55

# Uh — KirbySS 2006-10-26 02:04

"go learn english your *****ing moron"

Should read:

"Go learn english, you're a *****ing moron."

Great work there "meh".

# Cat and Mouse — Guest 2006-10-26 02:09

I was going to update one of my Modchip flash chips with this but even that isn't worth while. They have provided no new features worth even mentioning and have just done a security update.

I hope this is cracked some time and everyone runs homebrew because although I appreciate Sony making such a great console they still suck.

# Read — _F1 2006-10-26 02:26

Read the bolded part. ;)

# The reason — Guest 2006-10-26 02:44

Booster isnt releasing devhook is because he found something in every fw and he is waiting till 3.0 for that reason. It will be a lot easier to crack too!

# I will upgrade — Guest 2006-10-26 02:53

I will upgrade, because all what sony does is something that we need. And what about people with 1,50? They stuck in sotne age. Yes they try to say i can simulate till 2,71. But all you can do is kill your psp lifetime, cause if all psp will be unlegal Sony will get no moey. Bussiness rule No.1 NO MONEY NO BUSSINESS. Get that? If you use only illegal version, nobady wants to work for free. No money = no progress. Happy living in stone age.

# Same as 2.81 — Guest 2006-10-26 03:02

I thimk this software update is exactly the same as 2.81, except with a different encryption key and version number.

# weird — Guest 2006-10-26 03:18

My PSP version is 2.81 and I couldnt find any updates on the update network at all

# Confiscating ur psp — Guest 2006-10-26 03:26

UPDATE IT now Or i will COme to ur house and Confiscate ur psp + change it into version 2.81 + a Ta082 Model psp!

MUHAHAHAHA

# yay — Guest 2006-10-26 03:29

Im updating right now! I cant wait to try LocoRoco. Did you guys get the downgrader yet?

CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS!!! I MYSELF DO NOT BELIEVE IN SUCH! BUT IF BE TRUE!!! THATS *****IN FAN TASTIC!!!

NOW SAY IT 5 TIMES FAST, AND 5 TIMES SLOW, PUT YOUR LEFT HAND IN, THE RIGHT HAND OUT YADDA YADDA YADDA JUS KIDDIN! BABBA BOOIE TO YA'LL, AND MERRY OPIE AND ANTHONY!

Don't forget the devhook 2.81 question just because of some nonsense here, and there. Other people want to know about it also. So does devhook have 2.81 UMD playability or what?

# goddam it — Guest 2006-10-26 04:15

sony you are gay for releasing this update not because it strengthens security but because now a load of noobs will updatw and in every new topic on the site their will be posts like any chance of a 2.82 downgrader or wheres the eloader for 2.82 or my little bro updated my psp to 2.82 damn lol anyway whats this new devhook thats bein talked about?????

# cannot update. — Guest 2006-10-26 04:29

hey has anybody even tried to make Devhook for fw2.8X

i myself is trying to make the 2.82...

i just wanted to know if anybody else is tryin..

# no devhooked 2.81 — Guest 2006-10-26 04:33

definately not at the moment... but apparently some of the highly regarded devs are workin on somethin big(?) that s all i know.

if there was 2.81 devhook it would have been reallly big news

i'll be stick between homebrew& GTA VCS. i think i'll upgrade , and just get the segamegadrive wtc etc for the PC . plus they'll be faster and i'll also be able to play the world tour socar, ridgeracer 2 and ape escape car demo and mercury meltdown... plus i'll have loads free room on the MS

# ill try to — Guest 2006-10-26 04:56

ok i learned how to hack the up dates so it will say 3.0 if you want just dont update yet and when i hack it people whew are on 2.81 ill send the 2.82 update but instead of 2.82 it will say3.0

# Yeah... — Destructo 2006-10-26 05:37

It doesn't come with any new features, just a security update. It must mean something.

# Difference — Guest 2006-10-26 05:43

The only thing that's different here is more security and the version number. 2.82 doesn't offer anything new to the PSP. All these features are in 2.8 anyway.

# dumb — Guest 2006-10-26 05:44

that is the dumbest logic i have ever seen. yea let's ALL update to a firmware that isn't yet hacked and wait for however long it takes to hack it without running homebrew. are u *****ing retarded? you don't need to answer...we already know the answer. ***** off and die.

# don't talk about what you don't know — Guest 2006-10-26 05:47

you're assuming. you're assumptions are unfounded. don't act like u know something. you're not uber leet and not part of the hacking scene. you're a follower and know as much as the next follower. just sit back and shut the ***** up. thank you.

# They need to add something useful — TheCheat 2006-10-26 05:49

If they added support for mpg, avi, and such, I might consider an upgrade. Why do they always add new formats that hardly anyone uses? Who cares about AAC format!

# again with the assumptions — Guest 2006-10-26 05:52

just shut up. you're assuming. do u know booster personally? hell no you don't. you've heard from a message board that someone else on a message board posted that someone on another...dude just shut up about booster. this is about an official update. sit back and let it roll. you don't need to blab on and on about booster. u don't know $hit. thank you.

# u make it sooooo easy — Guest 2006-10-26 05:57

go ahead and update. 'live in the future' with your 2.82 security fix. lol. oh my god...where do these people come from? hackers are making the psp 5x better and more advanced than $ony ever invisioned. go get some english lessons too.

# It would be nice to have .... — Guest 2006-10-26 05:58

2.81 SE-C

or Devhook for 2.71 emulatin 2.81

# they don't — Guest 2006-10-26 05:59

sony doesn't add mpg or avi because the prossesor is too small to decode .. that's why it's in simpler format..smaller size....

i don't mind converting to mp4 ... .. it's alright.

# please — Guest 2006-10-26 06:04

stay friendly

# no — Guest 2006-10-26 06:06

no. devhook currently emulates up to 2.71. just wait...don't ask...don't assume...just wait. BABBA BOOIE!

# u are dumb — Guest 2006-10-26 06:08

u are dumb. go back to school kid. u don't know how to wipe your own ass let alone hack anything. DAMMIT. these idiot noobs piss me off.

# not so strange — Guest 2006-10-26 06:12

Look back at the update history and its not as strange, remember the 1.50>1.51>1.52>2.0 update string? most of that stuff was included in the 2.81, 2.80, 2.71, and 2.70 updates it just a cover for tightening security measures.

# not really — Guest 2006-10-26 06:20

Sony probably found some kind of exploit or security hole on their own, or is gearing up for the next big jump (ie:1.52>2.0 / 2.82>3.0 (just a guess)) like they did right before 2.0 and is adding things to the firmware that aren't active yet but will be utilized and activated in the next firmware (kinda like with the camera/gps libs in the last update)

# decrypter files — Guest 2006-10-26 06:36

probably so that it cant be put into something like 2.71 SE...because the flash won't hold dual firmwares now that 2.82 is so big

# w00t — Guest 2006-10-26 06:42

THANK'S SONY! Now I cant use homebrew.

HOMEBREW SUCKS!

# your a moron — lead2gold 2006-10-26 06:57

yea, I'm sure thats the first thing that came to Sony's mind when they popped that update out...

*sighs*

# the test — Guest 2006-10-26 07:02

the real test will not be trying to crack 2.82, it will be unlocking full kernel access on 3.0 for psone emulation + homebrew!!

# what is the point. — Guest 2006-10-26 07:05

What is the point of a new firmware when they have Ta-082.

It doesnt allow you to downgrade anyways.

I guess sony doesnt understand the problem completely.

# Exploit in 2.81 — Guest 2006-10-26 07:36

Well since there is a security update we must have overlooked something in the 2.81 update that may lead to an exploit. Once we figure out how to dump this firmware we need to start comparing it to the 2.81 firmware so we can find something to help the 2.81ers.

# Man u r old!!! — Guest 2006-10-26 07:41

I find Useing homebrew somewhat useless, So i'm updateing my PSP, Its downloading as this is typed. Only thing i found entertaing was the GTA LS Homebrew thing and i screwed my self out of that =( Oh well. Laterz. - ShadowMechachu, K.I.A. Foxtrot ( Http://KIATF.saoutpost.com )

# ADDED "ANTI-HOMEBREW" STRENGTHENING REVISIONS — Guest 2006-10-26 07:53

Screw off Sony - I don't care about PSP games anymore - I only care about Homebrew.

2.71 SE-B is my Firmware of choice and I will never upgrade unless someone HACKS a newer Firmware.

Until that day comes, I won't spend a single penny on any Sony games.

If I can't get it for free, I won't get it at all.

# hmm... — Guest 2006-10-26 07:53

Rember the psp camera? rember the psp gps? hmmm... maby this has sum new updates for it? it has been delayed for a while, maby because they were adden more features for it?!?

# lol upgrade? — MitchenX 2006-10-26 07:57

i've spent a couple months reading up on SO MANY forums, and have done SO MUCH trial and error to get my perfect selection of emus/games running... !

So until Sony wants to give me a new emulator, they know where they can stick their firmware... ;)

No ps1 emu for PSP yet?? crappy. I'll try back after I complete FFXII

# dum f!_!CK! — Guest 2006-10-26 07:58

Why bother posting the same file 8 times? I haven't checked 2.82 but for every other firmware, all regions use the same eboot. md5 check all the 2.71 eboots.

currently i have no real interest in homebrew because i dont use my psp often enough anymore to care i have to much else to do right now it streams music to my cars stereo and that is all it does

# But... — Guest 2006-10-26 08:35

Maybe if sony increased the security, then maybe they found a vulnerability and patched it b4 it could be hacked. so, we need to look very carefully for exploit possobilities in 2.8 and 2.81. Also, does anyone have a link to a website that discusses homebrew for 2.8+. I have a 2.8 refurbished psp. i just bricked my 2.71 the day the tiff xploit came out. I have great luck, dont I? But anyway, i would really like a link to a website or forum that disscuses 2.8 homebrew. Thanks.

# Read the article all the way! — Guest 2006-10-26 08:41

Wrong. Try Again.

# Why — Guest 2006-10-26 08:43

Ooooh The humanity I upgraded my PSP thinking it's gonna be the boomb but now I can't play my homebrew, pleas make a downgrader for me pleeeeaaas, if you don't am gonna tell sony about you QJ.net and let them close this site. Okay so I lied...Duh!! but we all know some one is gona say somthing like that.

# uneducated fool — lead2gold 2006-10-26 08:43

you sir.... are uneducated...

avi is uncompressed...

divx, mpeg, and xvid (along with others) are compressed and there is homebrew out there that can play them without a problem (even running on 222Mhz).

Stay in school

# DAYUMMM — Guest 2006-10-26 08:56

# I used to care about Sony's effort to stop homebrew. — Guest 2006-10-26 08:56

If Sony would just give us the features we want they would not have such a big problem. With some of the crap they add in these firmware updates it seems like they want our PSPs to be paperweights. Hell it seems like the firmware updates are released just to keep us thinking that the piece of crap was worth $250.

# im upgrading — Guest 2006-10-26 09:09

well i already have 2.81. I'm upgrading right now to 2.82. ive noticed now sony doesn't require you to have an AC adapter to update anymore

# wow...... — Guest 2006-10-26 09:13

not everybody has a TA-082. Therefore, updates are required to stop non ta-082 users from homebrew.

Soo many people flaming Sony .. I mean I know they deserve it, but still!

You won't catch my PSP dead upgrading! (I didn't say that right...)

This update is a waste. How many times can you write to a flash before it doesn't write properly anyways?

They patched another hole .. it must have been a good one, because they released v2.82 not too long after 2.81 ... and the peice of crap PSP still isn't worth the money it cost to print the box, well if you upgrade, it wont.

Bottom line: This update writes more crap to the flash, how much more can the poor flash be written till it stops working? UPGRADE AND FIND OUT! 89 bucks plus S&H to replace the PSP, what a load ..

# exploit — hockeyplayer9944 2006-10-26 09:53

does this mean that sony found an exploit or something in 2.81?

# What if — Guest 2006-10-26 09:58

Maybe when they released this. Sony may have found a way to hack into fw 2.81 and then created this to cause people to update......????

# Ummm... — Guest 2006-10-26 10:05

Or maybe, they are using reverse psychology. They probably want us to think there is a hole so that we all update to look for it. Ya, I know I'm just rambling on, just ignore me.

Who care about aac. If they do avi (xvid+divx); then maybe LOT of people will update because MANY people know little about homebrew but everyone know avi. :)

Then again, if sony did that...then..we get a ubber fw to use when hacked ofcource ;)

# 1.50 emulate to 2.82 — Guest 2006-10-26 10:52

is it possible to emulate to 2.82 by devhook.

# Ace Combat X requires 2.81 — Vipre77 2006-10-26 11:05

I just found that out on Tuesday when I picked up my copy. Bummer. I haven't updated my virgin 1.50 PSP yet, but this game is soooo tempting. I tried using Devhook to run it anyway, but I couldn't get it to launch since devhook only goes up to 2.71. I read somewhere that the new Star Trek game is the same way. I was hoping 2.8x would be able to run on devhook by now, but no such luck. Anyone know if it's close to being done?

I've been getting a little tired of my old emulators and I was probably gonna update for the official PSOne emulator if/when it gets released anyway. I figure I'll use my PC for NES/SNES/GBA/Neo Geo/etc. emulators in the future. It's better at them anyway and it'll free up my memory stick for some videos and/or music. I used to play ISO's, but I've been buying quite a few games lately ($400 at Best Buy in the last month alone), so I don't need them anymore.

# So — Guest 2006-10-26 11:20

Will this run homebrew???

# Why Sony does this.... — Vietone 2006-10-26 11:23

You all are fools to think Sony has no real agenda in releasing this firmware to PSPs.

They get the ability to see if hackers and coders can break the 2.82 system. If they do, then sony will go back to thr drawing board and make 2.83 and so on and so on.

So far it seems that Sony is winning, if they cant hack this new firmware then you can totally forget about getting 3.0 to work with dev hook.

Some of you have totally simplistic thinking that you cant see that every single firmware that gets cracked is a benefit to Sony to fix. Each new firmware will get better and better and eventually it will come down to a point that it will no longer be able to be emulated and they can finally succeed in stopping homebrew and dev hook for all new firmwares.

# Its is out now — Jumpin Jehosaphat 2006-10-26 11:31

The locoroco demo is already out and hexed, use the files from this link

http://www.lesemeu.com/PSP/fichiers/locohallo271.zip

Note that the game folder has loco roco halloween at the end of its name, you have to delete that for this to work. It requires 2.71

# Don't be a retard — Jumpin Jehosaphat 2006-10-26 11:35

Yes this has secret 3.0 stuff hidden in it, I know all about it because my dad works for sony. This firmware can play all homebrew and psx emulator and you can use your ir port as a camera, and it lets you use your psp as a UMD burner. Sony just forgot to put all those things in the changelog.

Seriously people, get real.

Uhh I updated my PSP to 2.82 and guess what? I tried nesterJ Emulator and It works! I think sony patched up a new hole but they forgot to patch the hole for the emulator! so if you're 2.80, upgrade to 2.82 and you can use emulators. not homebrew though.

# Gahh — Guest 2006-10-26 12:39

Cant they just release 3.0!? Its rather annoying. I think 3.0 is going to be the big firmware release which will convince poeple to switch from older versions eg 1.5, to 3.0 due to its cool sounding lineup of features.

Downloadable ps1 games is awesome and could actualy increase sales of the PSP greatly.

Release it sony!

The only part of that that is now is the part where they misspelled "applicable". But you knew that, right? what the ***** were you reading abou minors? I'm sure it came out of a google search for "minors 18 younger child children". Whatever. If you can't spell, then don't publish content online. And that goes for all of you. Every word in the dictionary has been misspelled in a QJ comment, from "faming" to "usless" to "n0b". Ugh. I should write a Greasemonkey script that corrects the spelling on web pages.

# u don't know jack $hit — Guest 2006-10-26 16:02

man...for your information this firmware was already fully decrypted within minutes of release because the algorythms didn't change from 2.81. so it is capable of being fully emulated at some point in time. a security loophole where homebrew can be loaded in 2.82? maybe not but who the hell cares about that when u can emulate it with 1.8 and devhook or hopefully 2.71 se-x. jackass.

Hi,

BOOSTER's Devhook for 2.81 is out and these guys were just waiting for the 3.0 update and they would release it then cause if they would have released it now (2.81 compatible devhook), Sony would have pluged the holes.

Its seems one of the hackers members has leaked this to Sony and they have plugged it in 2.82. Thats all the 2.82 update does is plugs the 0.50 Devhook !

# You are an Dummy — Guest 2006-10-26 23:17

Really. Compared to the games coming out now, homebrew sucks. It does.

All you *****s are just a bunch of whiney losers latching onto other people's work. Sucky work as it is, at least they are doing something constructive with their time.

You're worse than fanboys, you think you're edgy and cool because you're "up against tha man" in Sony. More like a bunch of pathetic religious zealots. Your 1.5 FW is your bomb belt as you martyr yourself for *****ty homebrew software.

Great work, losers!

Sony seem to think that they can push us around and try to tempt us with crap demos that last about 10 mins and then u cant do anythin on ur psp.

# Language skills and the lack thereof. — Guest 2006-10-27 08:39

Kirby,

He may have been trying to say "Go learn English you ****ing moron." Please note that the language should be capitalized. Regardless of that, this entire conversation is beyond stimulating.

To quote Stephen Hawking: "Although light is made up of waves, Planck's quantum hypothesis tells us that in some ways, it behaves as if it were composed of particles: it can be emitted or absorbed only in packets, or quanta. Equally, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle implies that particles behave in some respects like waves: they do not have a definite position but are 'smeared out' with a certain probability distribution. The theory of quantum mechanics is based on an entirely new type of mathematics that no longer describes the real world in terms of particles and waves; it is only the observations of the world that may be described in those terms."

It's true. Look it up.

Save for 2 PSPs. All of whom are wanting a ps3 (and a PSP to be compatible), know this: It's likely that there will be yet another "update". Joy. I bought 2 PSPs for this reason. One is for homebrew and one is for everything else. This way everyone is happy; Me (thank you to every person that has a hand in homebrew and hacking) and Sony (2 PSPs?! Spend More Money!)

I admit.. I'm impatient.. But there are so many mysterious games to try, so I couldn't wait.
