Good news, Sony PlayStation Portable owners! It seems that the latest firmware for Sony's handheld, version 3.95, is almost ready - and with it comes something that we've been waiting for: improved PSone control customization AND improved Sony PlayStation 3 connectivity. Awesome!

This comes directly from the US PlayStation Blog, where PlayStation Network Operations Director Eric Lempel made a news post about the upcoming firmware. His post, verbatim:


While playing PSone games on your PSP, you can now customize how the buttons are assigned by going to [Controller Settings] > [Assign Buttons] and select [Custom].


You can now quit Remote Play and choose to turn off your PS3 or leave it on after quitting. This is useful if you are performing a download and want to quit Remote Play, but still want your download to continue on the PS3.


Select [Quit and Turn Off the PS3 System] or [Quit Without Turning Off the PS3 System] from [Quit Remote Play] when you press the HOME button on the PSP system.


Pretty neat trick, being able to quit remote play without turning off your PS3. This pretty much leaves your Cell Processor-powered beast to continue downloading media off the PlayStation Network store, or if you simply want to switch to the full console experience. Here's to more updates like these!

Thanks to Darkshneider for the tip!



Update: To quote a certain Tim Y., cripes, that WAS fast! The firmware looks like it's been released early. No new details here - it's the same as was previously reported above, so if you're in the mood to get your PSP up to date, here's your chance. Be sure to exercise caution, however - we haven't quite yet received official word. Other than that, enjoy!

If 4.00 will have another relatively groundbreaking feature release given 2.00's crappy web browser and 3.00's POPstation.

This is our latest release and contains alot of new features.

The installer has new splash screens designed by em82.

New visual install process with ms free space display.

New Pommel, Tachyon & Baryon Motherboard display & detection.

New Random Serial Number Generator for your battery if you have lost yours.

Now installs DC5, but TheJokers menu has been removed.

Disable the Battery Menu for Slim TA-085v2 mobo's

A restart function has been added to UL.

Nand Backup has now been added to UL.

IDStorage Backup has now been added to UL.



As well as more features.

Basically this is a .cso that installs Pandora's Battery and Magic memory stick files on your PSP , it's simple - clean and works! follow the link to the download section or go to the tutorial for Version 3 as version 4 tutorial is not yet available. IT DOESN'T GET MUCH EASIER THAN THIS!

I bet this next firmware will be the end for 1.5 kernel.





Time to move on and support slims kernel.

There are rumors that 4.0 will have DivX support. Hopefully this is true and will lead the way for XviD and other mp4 video support.

# how did you work that outxLinkinwormx 2008-04-08 02:30
we can install the 1.5 kernal on the psp because of the hardware not software, why do you think we cant install it on the slim, because the hardware doesnt support it

For those of you who dont know the quit and leave ps3 on is for those of us who access the ps3 outside of thier home via the internet. I regularly connect to my ps3 from work and listen to my music or show co workers my videos i have stored on there, I watched a movie one time.
