RUMOR: firmware 3.0 has bug, 3.01 to drop tomorrow |
Ó
There's a bug in firmware 3.0! 3.01's coming tomorrow!Yeah, that's what everybody's shouting/screaming/hollering about in the various PSP communities. Apparently, an SCEE admin named Sslust said that there's a teeny tiny bit of a bug in 3.0, and that 3.01 will be released tomorrow (to read his post, click on the 'via' link below and scroll to the last post. It's in Dutch, though).
Sslust didn't offer any details on the bug apart from a huge-toothed smile emoticon at the end of his post, but theories have been running the gamut from the PS1 emulator to a bug that occurs when you put Visual Player on random. Whatever the bug is though, this has given homebrew fanatics new hope in the continuing quest to finally crack the new firmwares that have come out.
Of course, it's still too early to know if the alleged bug can be exploited to allow PSP owners to run homebrew on their Sony handhelds, but we're keeping our fingers crossed while we wait for 3.01 to drop. Keep checking QJ for more updates on this.

lol :)
this is sony lol great work and thanks!
LOL
maybe the gta savedata is not patched? lol
well it looks like we might get 3.00 home brew
Dutch: No worries: morgen komt 3.01 uit. Er zat een klein foutje in 3.0. En nee, ik weet niet wat voor foutje English: Do not worry: tommorow 3.01 will be released. There was a small error in 3.0, don't know what. Looks really fake, no explanation at all in this post. As this is the only rumour, laugh about it.
@ JW Translation is indeed correct, but why would that employee have anything to say about it? Why would they reveal the bugs, they never did.
There are some problems with the keyboards, mp3 visuals and the time/date/battery display which keeps flickering back and forth. Sslust is a pretty decent guy who apparently works at scee so I'd trust him.
Who says he is an employee after all? I can add it to my name to: JW [SCEE firmware developer]. Yeah right... And they won't reveal any bugs BEFORE they are solved within a new firmware.
i got a good feelin about this firmware entering the homebrew community...
He is, he's also got something to do with the dutch betatesters, is on the sony community team, makes sure there are prizes for the official contests on the forum etc. Trust me, he works there. This might be the bug http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/2480/pb220001ug7.gif
its probably nothing big
This is no surprize.With all the new things for 3.00 sony were bond to slip up somewhere and i'am sure there will be more bugs and glitches for the homebrew coomunity to exploit :) 2.71 SE-C i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
Think about it. You spend so much time to make the great Firmware 3.0 and then there's something wrong with it! lol looks like 3.0 didnt last as long as sony wanted it to.
This is awesome. Sony can not come out with one single thing that goes their way. This is the fate of fascist electronic developers... Muahahaha. Anyway, I hope that from the little bug we can create a huge monster of homebrew.
As a dutchman, I can tell you he confirmed PSX games will be available for download using the "PSP-Downloadshop", and buying a PS3 won't be needed. His comment regarding this post can be translated as being: "No worries: Tomorrow 3.01 will be released. There was a small bug in 3.0. And no, I don't know what kind of bug *biggrin*."
if its true this is one step toward kernel 3.0 homebrew
I can't see it anywhere at the official PSP sites (not in the american and european, that is).
I LOVE YOU ALL!EXPLOIT MAN MAKE LOVE TO ME!
Did these guys do this on purpose? O_o
ok i have a 1.50 psp. and all of u who r thinking about updateing any homebrew compatible psps r crzy (2.80-) think about it with this new emulator sony has it wont take long for a hakker to fully emulate the ps1 on 1.50-2.80.and u dont need a F*CKING ps3 just get the files from torrents and stuff
because that's not illegal or anything... ::rolls eyes::
lets face it, Sony isn't very careful with patching holes in their firmware. how many firmwares now can use the supposedly "patched" .tiff exploit? LOL. on the other hand, and this is purely wishful thinking, maybe one or several of the people that are responsible to make/patch these firmwares are purposly leaving vulnerabilities for the homebrew community to discover?...... :P
If you want to get technical every bit of homebrew is illegal since you are hacking the PSP to do things it was not meant to do and Sony doesn't want you to do with it. But it is still fun to do. That aside I never really played but a few PS1 games and I am not about to pay more money for games I already have. Lastly I think you all are reading a little too much into this, its most likely a bug to fix some random crash or lock upand can't be used as an exploit.
dont celebrate victory its just a rumor but if its true imagine this Dark Alex Custom Firmware 3.0
did anyone notice that when you connect your psp to computer using usb without going into usb mode it says that new hardware is found?
I telling sony one thing if they release 3.01 I am not updating I wating for homebrew I never even had a chance to try homebrew because I found out at the last minute.
huh, who cares avout 3.0...........1.5!! baby
IIRC, either Dark Alex or one of the other well known guys was touting some new super double-secret new hack that they were going to unleash after the official 3.00 firmware launched. Supposedly it was some sort of exploit or crack that they could use to hack any firmware. Okay, so the new firmware's out, and the ones that were touting this new hack are silent... What's up?
its because of the usb camera, it probably keeps the usb port on. (thats my hypothesis)
it is not removed. Its just that the people who run playstation website are extemely slow and cant get anything done until a week after. (JUST LIKE THE PS3. They only made slightly less than 400,000 units, which is not enough 4 a country with more than 400,000,000 people.)
Oh no! Sony being the mastermind company they are have found a bug after releasing the 12th firmware update? OMG I can't believe this site even reports such garbage. Stick to homebrew/things that matter. Noone gives a flying fark if Sony found a bugg in their new trash, I coulda told you before it came out it would have a bug. Just another excuse to release yet another firmware. Sony makes me, and alot of other people sick. People who cared once for the PS line until we have been shat on again and again. Keep your PS3 Sony. I wouldn't accept one even if it was free. Now Microsoft is suing Linux....I'm running out of companys I respect enough to actually plunk down my hard earned cash for. Seems Nintendo is the only company that actually cares for its end-users. Who woulda thought one of the original gaming companys from the early 80's would still be around and this dedicated? I don't own a Wii yet, but I will try before I buy. I have always been anti-piracy until these firmware updates. For the longest time I couldn't play any of the newest games for PSP because I refuse to update what I bought & paid for. When a certain thing was released, and I could actually now play all the games I had been wanting to play, I thought to myself..."Why should I continue to support this company?" Enter ISO heaven. Thanks but no thanks Sony, you lost this (PSP)round. PS3 from what I can see aint sellin too hot on Ebay...Noones seems to want anything with Sonys name on it.... Oh well my 2 cents.
that would be extremely hard!!! Most likely they can use USER mode. Hopefully they do decrypt it. HOPEFULLY Dark_Alex will make a CF 3.00!!!! that would then be Fl_|CK!NG AWSOME!!!!!!!!!
Its pretty obvious its a lie so that 2.81+ users will upgrade and it will be harder for them to downgrade.
I may be completely wrong since I dont know much about ROMS and emulators, but couldnt people make their own ROMS for the Playstation emulator?
that is so true! im thinking of getting a Wii, the moving is cool and all, but i wanna get a PS3 cause i wasted my money on a PSP.
This reminds me of 2.01....., and the other security fixes....
I hope there is a bug cause I'm anxiously awaiting to play MPO on my 1.50 system. To hell with firmware updates.
The firmware was just released.. That sort of information wont be released for a while. Gotta have time to hack these things. Im waiting for someone to just extract, decrypt and remake the PS1 emu, so 1.5 users can use it.
visualization bug.
hey, i dont blame you, and i cant say i dont do it, BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND that pirating .iso's in particular DOESNT HURT SONY, **IT HURST THE GAME COMPANY THAT MADE THE GAME PEOPLE** sure, sony may make a bit of money from it, but the hugest hit is to the GAME COMPANY, NOT SONY!!!!! keep that in mind, and happy gaming, whether you do it legaly or not :P
sorry, i meant to reply to someone instead of make a new post. this was meant for yamabigdog

I will luagh tommmorw when someone finds a new expoilet in 3.0 and sony hasent even lasted 1 day for 3.0
any iso's that I pirate do not, and never will hurt the gaming industry. I wouldn't buy their crap anyways. and to be honest, most of these "games" should be freaking shareware for all i'm concerned. The very few games that are worth purchasing, I do. so any iso's i download won't hurt anybody.
I hope there is hombrew im at 2.80 and i dont think im going to update to 3.00 yet
firmware 3.01 is out now on network update
I haven't downloaded it (and wont), but someone said that it's a security revision in another site, not a visualizer fix. I have 3.0, but I don't think I'll update to 3.01
errr, wrong. Its people like you who are destroying the gaming industry. If it is worth it for you to download the file, its worth it to pay for the game. You are taking away money from places like blockbuster who rents games, because you test your games for free. I hope you brick your psp pale ;)
its out
yer its true I rang up psp support and bull*****ed that my 2.82 was corrupt and he says to me its not covered under waranty because I didn't have my ac adapter on. Then he said try upgrading to 3.0 but he said wait a few days until 3.01
Hey everyone I have a Japanese psp1000 model but I am in LA california USA ( for those who need specifics) and I just downloaded the 3.01 update thru my psp network update but the sites arent showing it yet just as they didnt for the 3.0. so i thought i let you all know
I have a huge doubt that it'll be very "exploitable" if it was announced.
i hope their is homebrew on 3.00....if they say its possible then it will happen i hope they can hack it soon
For all you U.P chip haters out there saying d-d-dev hook and sh*t like that have gota be loving it now. Right now I have 1.5 on the U.P NAND and 3.0 on the PSP NAND. And I can reflash the 3.0 back to 1.0/1.5 anytime I want. UNBRICKABLE!! U.P PWNS YOU!
Does anyone know what this certificate utility is going to be for? In the manual it says something about "time-limited downloads"
sony keeps treating their customers like we as the consumer have to put up with their sh*it because their name is sony and they think theyr unstoppable. I missed the dreamcast when it died, but honestly, psp has such a small handful of truly spectacular games like the dc did. theres very little loss for me and most others who get frustrated after paying 40 to 50 for a horrible game. isos are helping sony at least sell other ***** like 4 gig pro duos. isos dont hurt sony, bad games and customer rapport does. the day that sony stops *****cing with their customers is the day ill respect them. *they gave us homebrew and tried to steal it back, unsuccessfully. the customer is always right and they just did us wrong *promised us gran turismo 4 portable for summer 06, cant find that iso, huh? *killed lik-sang *ps3 connectivity lie *and ps1 emulation was announced b4 launch and here we are a year later and its just coming out. mite as well goto a gamestop, get a psx for 20 bucks or so and games for $2-3 off ebay. youll prawly have to throw away more money on memory sticks to fit that ***** anyway. reason enough to d/l isos for me. cause f*uck em, thats why. waste ur money on crappy games instead of complaining about how other people dont, not gonna hurt my feelings
in the japanese official site, they say that people with firmware 3.0 were having problems with the game Jeanne D`Arc, like slow loading times and crashing, so thats why they released the new version.
does anyone know how much it costs to buy the ps1 games
dude the USA has just over 300,000,000 people... not 400,000,000... retard
Sslust doesn't lie about firmware, remember 2.82? That was all started by a post by Sslust on the firmware requirement of LocoRoco Halloween...
this bricked my psp when i was upgrading to 3.00 from 2.80 thats probably the retarded bug.....SONY IS GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
dont update or it will brick your psp i dont think there will be homebrew on 3.00 cause the bug is it bricks your psp DONT UPDATE.....if you really want to update uodate to 3.01
cuz everyone buys the real games and are getting BACKUP copies..... hahaha
just give a chance for people who wants homebrew and they cant, it was a few months that I hope for 2.71 downgrade, and you people who have 2.71+... HOPE FOR A DOWNGRADE, it sure worked for me:P
shut up UR GAY
dude ure stupid
Posted by the admin: ssslust or something Uiteraard zal Sony je niet dwingen een PS3 te kopen om te kunnen downloaden. Alles kan nu toch ook via de de PSP downloadshop? Dus maak je geen zorgen, dat komt allemaal goed Ofcourse sony wont force you to buy a PS3 to buy ps1 isos. Everything can be downloaded through the psp downloadshop now too, can't you? So don't worry, everything will be fine
hi is it possible for sum one to send me a copy of 3.0 update, cuz i cant get it, or tell me awebsite, btw my email is bakirp6@hotmail.com , oh btw i want us vesion
Sorry, but just by making Sony unhappy doesn't mean you're doing something illegal.. +D
3.0 And 3.01 have been decypted already, go to psp-hacks.com
how can you play ps1 games on a psp without r2 and l2 triggers. Someone tell me how is it going to work
It's interesting to me that the PS3 can be booted to other operating systems with Sony's blessing, but the PSP is closed tighter than a nun's legs.
Does F 3.01 any damage to an american PSP?
The hole inPSP update 3.0 was that it checked for the certificate but it could be edited with any text tool "i.e. note pad" that would let everyone share the games. Shame on Sony & Nintendo. Try to get us to buy the same game again.
