# YESSSSSSS BABY FINALLY! — Guest 2006-04-23 22:02

Thank you Sony I will be upgrading right now.

# homebrew — pspmagic 2006-04-23 22:04

whats sony doing about homebrew? new security to stop that it AGAIN? or what...

# Theyll have tried patch it. — Guest 2006-04-23 22:05

Fanjita pretty much told them exactly how to patch it. Every time the eloader comes out everyone goes into loads of detail on exactly how it works on every site.

Take before the 2.6 loader came out. It was everywhere that it was obtaining the syscalls that caused the problem. Its obvious that if they haven't found a way to stop it completely, they will have at least made the syscalls worse to find than in 2.6, and that took everyone long enough to find.

I'm not complaining or anything. We wouldn't have had the loaders if the problems hadn't been posted for other people to help. But Sony will have heard of what caused the problems and if they've got any brains they will have worked on making those problems even more troublesome for developers (homebrew not commercial).

# woo — Guest 2006-04-23 22:06

This is *almost* enough to make me upgrade my firmware past 2.0 right now, though when Guilty Gear comes out a few days I surely upgrade to whatever that wants anyway.

# 123 — Guest 2006-04-23 22:10

anybody upgade yet?

# hmmmm — Guest 2006-04-23 22:11

HOLY ***** when does this come out for the rest of us ?

# NO WAY — Guest 2006-04-23 22:11

The title says it all!!!, i just can't face losing all my precious hombrew etc... for one extra feature!!!!

# TOO MUCH TO LOOSE!! — Guest 2006-04-23 22:16

If Homebrew and the GTA cheat device dont work on it then its not worth updating!!!

# its not out yet — Guest 2006-04-23 22:18

nocomment

# Umm — CesarAndreu 2006-04-23 22:20

Not that it really bothers me but is homebrew playable on this?

# @ #15 — NeilR 2006-04-23 22:21

That's exactly what the article says. It's supposed to be out tomorrow; Tuesday, April 25th in Japan.

Technically that could be as soon as 4-5 hours from now..

# other ***** — Guest 2006-04-23 22:23

Sony if u want to update the PSP your drunk ^_^ i wish this fw have a couple of bugs! a posible exploit in a swf file? lol lol lol

# @3 — Guest 2006-04-23 22:23

# idk — mylastresort77 2006-04-23 22:28

i have 2.6 right now.......im still debating....should i update?

# SWF exploit — Guest 2006-04-23 22:29

I agree.. wouldnt it be funny if some flash exploit could enable a new non-gta way of loading homebrew?

# @#20 — TeamOverload 2006-04-23 22:31

It always says that it is only for that region...its just a security measure, so if it anything happens they can say you voided your warrenty by using it, even though updates are region free

# @ #22 — NeilR 2006-04-23 22:32

They always say that. They said that with the 2.0 update and thousands of North Americans used the Japanese update eboot without problems.

I guess we'll have to wait and get the details when this update is released..

# Hmm... — Guest 2006-04-23 22:37

April 25th of 2006 (the fire) from around o'clock of 14, update of system software version 2.70 is started.

So 2 o clock PM, April 25th, Japanese time..

Equates to.

About 5 o clock AM, April 25th, British time.

About Midnight, tonight, American time (Eastern.)

I think that's right =/

# Why 6? — Guest 2006-04-23 22:40

Flash 8 is out, why are they using an old version? It means we can't use the good flash sites, like Newgrounds. If everywhere is using flash 8, why upgrade?

# hehe — Guest 2006-04-23 22:43

ill let some other sucker take the fall before i consider upgrading ;)

# Warned — Guest 2006-04-23 22:45

Well im guessing the eloader has been patched, and will be...o i dont know...2 weeks befor we crack it, i have contacts at in korea who have warned me

# Locoroco demo anyone? — chipxsd 2006-04-23 23:02

Has anyone tried the Locoroco demo? (of course with the PS-1000)

# finally.... — wes2k 2006-04-23 23:04

now people on myspace can stop asking when the damn update's coming out....

# Digg — Guest 2006-04-23 23:08

i cant submit this news to digg :(

# Flash version — Guest 2006-04-23 23:13

I wonder if it's the last version of Flash 6 that's supported, as it features some language support of Flash 7 stuff (ActionScript 2.0).

Also wonder if you'll be able to upgrade the Flash player, as you can code a Flash movie to upgrade automatically from that last version of Flash 6 plug-in I mentioned...

# AAC support? — Guest 2006-04-24 00:43

A 2.6 firmware PSP plays AAC just fine already. What's that thing with 2.7 and AAC?

# ! — Guest 2006-04-24 02:42

i wanna upgrade so bad but i value my 1.5 psp..

can eloader or w.e load up and of the iso loaders or i.r shell on 2.0??

# MPH Help — Guest 2006-04-24 03:55

Hopefully MPH will have his FL work with 2.7

# 1.5 for 2.5 psp and plus much more... — Guest 2006-04-24 04:09

Those people who have said they would upgrade there 1.5 when 2.7 come out are a bit odd. Anyways i would like to trade my 2.5 psp with 2gig, 3 games and accessories. And all i want is the 1.5 psp core system. So those of you who want to upgrade to 2.7 from 1.5 can get a bargain of me. I'm giving away over £300 worth, just for 1.5. If you wanna do it, e-mail me at:

jyptoclap@hotma il.com

# poster 37... — Guest 2006-04-24 07:14

# rookie hacker — Guest 2006-04-30 04:50

# runescape — Guest 2006-06-04 06:42

Can someone answer Runescaper's question?

I tried to use something called Logmein.com, which I was told would work, but a message popped up when I used it's remote control that said I could only look at a snapshot of sites, because "Java and ActiveX" are disabled.

I don't know if anyone understands that, but my point is: Does anyone know a way to play Runescape on PSP?
