PSP - Image 1

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!

# Great!! — M33 User 2008-04-07 13:16

Another step closer to 4.00

# ??? — PsxCrazy 2008-04-07 13:23

I can quit remote play without turning off the ps3.... what you mean??????????

# Makes me wonder... — Fiska 2008-04-07 14:20

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

# wtf? — Illegal Machine 2008-04-07 14:27

one can already do all of these things.

i wonder exactly what the f0ck they're talking about

# it's already out. — urherenow 2008-04-07 15:00

not gonna mess with it unless DAX releases a cfw or an m33-4

# UPMSInstallerV4 (Easy Pandora on a stick) — silwon 2008-04-07 15:03

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!

# No, it's not. — FreePlay 2008-04-07 15:06

It is not out yet.

# lol — Binary 2008-04-07 15:12

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

Time to move on and support slims kernel.

# Rumors — treyjazz 2008-04-07 15:18

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.

# My bad — urherenow 2008-04-07 16:44

forgot about 3.93 and thought this was out when network update... found an update...

# :( — salsa2good4u 2008-04-07 17:33

its out but noone cares

# I was only an hour or so too early... — urherenow 2008-04-07 19:05

# yes you can — sickofitall 2008-04-08 00:32

this update seems pointless.

# how did you work that out — xLinkinwormx 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

# Wrong. — The Uncreated 2008-04-08 06:24

Two word answer: Time Machine

- U

# 4.00 — StingBlah 2008-04-08 09:57

will have PSP HOME!!!

# :) — Guest 2008-04-08 13:50

Cripes!

# right — xyal_zx 2008-04-09 11:14

gee i thought you had to run that off the memstick.

# UPMS Installler v5 — Locogabitron 2008-04-12 01:12

Ya, v5 is much betta

# Yep yep — WTFoxx 2008-04-12 02:26

# cfw... — Rocknflip66 2008-04-12 03:15

# FIRMWARE broken? — squartochi 2008-04-15 01:21

# RE: — Dayo6 2008-04-15 13:22

Huh what?

When?

# remote connect — anonamoose 2008-04-16 13:42

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.

# I got that once — ajnauron 2008-04-17 16:08

I was opening a picture. You should try restarting(not resuming from sleep).

# cfw — ajnauron 2008-04-18 14:02

Ever since we could run homebrew?

# My new Arcade site... Visit often! — platinumblaze 2008-04-20 04:22

# DAX and CFW — HxcoredinosXXX 2008-04-22 08:17

DAX mad an annpucement quite a while ago that he would only realease every major update as cfw, hence ever .10 up.

# RE:cfw — Dayo6 2008-04-23 15:48

# why — majorbb100 2008-05-06 12:52
