PSP Firmware 3.03: more PS1 games and...?

So what else does it do?


Update: For Devhook details on Firmware 3.03, please visit this article!

Sometimes, it can be very misleading to have someone blurt out "OH NOEZ! PSP FW3.03 is up!" on our Gurumin gameplay posts. That's not exactly the best place to get the word out about something like that.

Still, it seems to be spot on. This version 3.03 comes through Network Update and apparently adds more titles to the list of PS1 games Sony's handheld can play. Right now, that seems to be the only thing it does. We're still trying to verify, but there are scattered reports elsewhere of this being true.

If you know if anything else is on this new update, let us know with a news tip or make a post on the discussion thread below. Of course, this update isn't really anything great if you don't have a PS3 (which is most of us), so let's just hope they didn't mess with the encryption again.

devhook???

wonder if this firmware will work with devhook if that is all they did was add the use of more ps1 titles to the update than i wouldn't see why it wouldn't work in devhook lets hope it works

I Have A PS3...

and I am typing this on it right now. Just before I came on here, I connected to the Playstation store and found nothing new. Maybe it will be soon though, I hope.

devhook

it won't work with devhook, PSAR Dumper can't decrypt it, i got 2 errors. Guess we'll have to wait for another PSAR Dumper Release or something...

More PS1 Games = Another Update?

Are we going to have to update our firmware ever time they add new PS1 games? That stinks.

You hope?

WTF How can you possibly hope for a new PSP Firmware. I hate you.

WTF?

Dude, you must be high! No this does not mean 3.0 has been hacked. It means sony is implementing an idea that should have been done with the start of the ps1 emu. And that they dislike homebrew, and gona make some new games that will takes us a week to hack, but will run on 2.71 se anyway.

3.03 sucks ass, whats the point in the psp if you cant even use it. 1.50 was the best no doubt. now can someone tell me how to downgrade please. 3.03 is just causing problems. you can either post here or (more prefered)-email me at chick_magnet_69@hotmail.com
