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!

» Makes me wonder...

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

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.

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





Time to move on and support slims kernel.

» Rumors

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.

» yes you can

this update seems pointless.

by xLinkinwormx - 2008-04-08 02:30
» how did you work that out

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

by anonamoose - 2008-04-16 13:42
» remote connect

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.

by ajnauron - 2008-04-17 16:08
» I got that once

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