Rumor: PSP firmware 6.0 coming this week? |
Listed in: Firmware, Rumors Tags: Europe, NIS America, psp firmware, Sony
Ó
Earlier last week, we reported about Sony releasing a brand new firmware for developers. Don't look now, it seems the same firmware is heading to our PSP's real soon. How soon?
While answering some fan question regarding the Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? Demo, Allison Walter of NIS America said that expect firmware 6.0 to be released on or before September 10:
Hi Killzone_Kid! This is what has been decided for the Badman demo: we're going to re-release it next Thursday, 10 Sept, by which time Firmware 6.0 should have been released. Sorry for the wait!
If the post is true, then we can expect a new firmware update sometime this week. Stay tuned.

The PSP should be about homebrew, not piracy. Sure, It's nice playing your own backups, really, I know. However, for each person legitimately utilizing their own rips, there are a hundred that arbitrarily download the same game. I'm a advocate of piracy, and 'free information', but we have to be able to realize when enough is enough. We have to control ourselves, and we need to start somewhere. Dark_Alex is the gateway for that change; the catalyst. It's up to him. He must force us to change. For the better.

Besides homebrew, remember that recent custom firmware is ALSO required to play any more recent original games. Or rather, "to do it without sacrificing the most important part of PSP functionality"

Your a joke. Most of these games cost 10 - 15 dollars now because of their poor lack in sales. What's the result, hmm i dunno PIRATES?
Dissidia sold 170,000 units in it's first week?
Should of easily sold 300,000. More people downloaded dissidia than bought it. FACT. Sales/Download numbers will prove that.
Stfu your excuse is flawed noob.

and... I'm suppose to believe that "most" of the people are here to add homebrew only to their systems?

I am not saying I am not guilty of downloading a game or two, omfg I am glad I dl'ed End War (Worst PSP Game Yet, in my opinion.) If I wouldn't have tried it I would have hurt somebody badly for even making that POS on PSP.
Just my 7¢

Now, if you, once again, have no intention on buying the game and download and play it, there is no harm, other than possibly moral, that has been really done. I mean, you were not going to purchase the game anyway, where have YOU cost the developer money??? YOU have not.
If you think that is wrong, then tell me EXACTLY where you have cost that company money. Tell me, you were not going to buy it anyway.
I think it is wrong where people are trying to profit by it, i.e. these sites that are loaded with ads that, you know, MUST be making money. They are, more than likely, a breeding place for viruses (saying it is a possibility).
Just a note, when I said "YOU" I am referring to a person who only downloads, not links, uploads, or refers people to sites to download stuff.
Also, "Piracy" is a strong word. We are not out firing cannons at Spanish Galleons in an attempt to steal their treasures. Hmm, got an idea of an awesome 4th of July idea XD jk
Now, continue the argument that I have not even made a tiny dent in.
Have fun

Dissidia is a game that anyone would buy period. The fact that more people downloaded this game than bought it proves your argument futile.

And @cboushell75 2 days left before the release so by then we will know what Is new with this one.

If you really, truly, soley use your PSP for only the homebrewn that is 100% pure freeware with no copied or copyrighted material... well, buy an old palm or pocketpc. You'd get more functionality.
As for someone repeated spouting that there were more Dissidia downloads than sales... well, prove it?
Hell, Dissidia outsold... well, pretty much every game ever released on the PSP in first week sales, and it was leaked almost a week early. Go figure that one out? OH NOZ, TEH PIRATZ R D KILN D SYSTMZ.
No. You're wrong. Trufax. Used game markets are killing the industry, as developers dont get money off of them. There are two types of people. Those who will buy the games, and those who wont. I pirate the hell out of games, dont get me wrong. Every single game I enjoy, though, I buy a copy of it. I know a lot of people like that. What does piracy do for me? It lets me try games before I buy them. It lets me find overhyped crap, or sleeper hits.
Is there a percent that'd admittedly buy games if they couldnt pirate them? Probably, but its a small one. They just wouldnt own a PSP. Removing the ability to pirate doesnt really show any increases in sales. You can pirate 360 games and yet they still regularly outsell PS3 games which you cant pirate.
People need to hop off their moral soapboxes (Which are filled with abrasive and brain damaging ajax.) and realize that they are not only wrong in the truest sense of fact vs fiction, but they are probably doing something else just as wrong. (Hell, CFW in and of itself is just as illegal, and morally corrupt, regardless of what you use it for.)
So unless you're a 100% legit, OFW, never download any music, watch any copyrighted material on any website that isn't wholey endorsed, or never read fantranslated works (because only a fraction of those are ever sanctioned. So yes, its illegal.) ... Well, gtfo and stfu. You're wrong.

-Find Dissidia First Week Sales
-Go to 3-4 Torrent Sites/PSP Sites
-Add up the total amount of times Dissidia was downloaded and you have your answer. Not that hard.
The major xbox games sell as much as they do because they all require online. You can't go online with a hacked copy. Xbox is full of fps. Fps + major sales. FPS is fun online. People will not get a hacked copy even with a modded xbox because they will have no one to play with.
Out of every person who buys a game after downloading it, there are 100 who won't buy it even after putting countless hours into it. Do your homework bub.
And You're telling me Dissidia's first week sales would be the same/less if people didn't get the chance to pirate it/test it. You Sir are a troll. Gtfo Noob. Troll is obivous troll.

Assuming makes you look like an ass. True face, man.
Ohh yeah, nice job admitting that you're a pirate. now maybe, just maybe, the cops or someone will be peaking on this and see that. they'll write down you're IP and arrest you... nice, man...
Ohh, and, some people are in it for the homebrew apps and plugins, not pirating... you sir a kinda retarded...
You just contradicted yourself too... you said you pirate, but... you don't like pirating??? you're wack dude... that's basically what you said by that paragraph... ohh yeah, cuz you're real cool... lmao!

Just to add a statistic, I pirate games. I would have bought some of them (though not all) if I hadn't been able to pirate them. I did buy Crisis Core after I'd pirated it and beaten it, but that's the only time I've bought a game after pirating it (always meant to buy MGS:PO, but can't find it anywhere now).
I'm of two minds on the piracy issue. First, I tell myself that no harm is done because I haven't taken anything away from anybody. On the other hand, there are games that I would have bought if I couldn't pirate them (Dissidia), so those companies would have made more money if I didn't pirate. Ultimately, I don't believe there is any real justification for doing it, but I still do it. Of course, I'm feeling really guilty as I'm writing this, so I'll have to give some thought to whether I want to keep it up. Really, when it comes down to it, people who defend piracy are doing it because they want to feel better about doing something they know is wrong. For those of us who do it, there's no arguement that can make it ok, so why bother. Just admit that we're the bad guys, or keep your piracy to yourself.
As a defense for cfw: I can play Soul Reaver and FFVIII (both of which I own original disc copies of) on my psp with cfw, and I couldn't without it. It's also nice to play iso's of games because they load faster and they're much more portable without having to carry around the discs (though that would only be a defensible arguement if I'd payed for all those games).

it looks like you will be missing out on all the new features.
If a game comes out that doesnt work in 5.00m33 then dont come crying. We will just tell you to upgrade.
It'll be your choice that games wont work.
Reply
DA said he will make a new M33 when $ony releases a new firmware with something worth cracking. Hopefully 6.00 will be that firmware.
Give it a week after and we should see a 6.00M33
If nothing after a week then give it another week and we should see a 6.00GEN

That's not the sort of response you *EVER* get from Sony. They give canned responses, not real answers.

Homebrew/Emulation (especially Marvel vs Capcom which runs great)
Ripping my games to Memory Stick for convenience - over 40 paid for games as I'm a collector more than anything.
Testing Jap games before I buy them - can't exactly send them back if I can't understand enough to play them. Macross Ace Frontier is the best £40 I've ever spent. It's also why I know that Gundam vs Gundam and Rengou vs ZAFT have pull out sheets with instructions in English.
So yes, there's a lot of pirates on here, and what I do isn't exactly legal, but I own more games for PSP than any other console (and I have them all) so don't tar everyone with the same brush. Especially when some of us are in Europe and have to import most of our games from the US (Persona for example). If I wanna skip the 2 week postage and get my mitts on something I've already paid for, I'm not going to feel guilty about it.
On that note, Dissidia special edition + OMG!

I'm merely voicing my opinion in a calm, organized, and (as to my ability) grammatically correct manner without using vulgar language. Note one of my earlier posts stating it can't be us, but must be DA/GEN:
"Not by me, you, or anyone else in this thread. The people that make it happen GEN and DA."
"nice job admitting that you're a pirate"
When taken out of context, anything can sound or seem more negative than intended.
"Ohh, and, some people are in it for the homebrew apps and plugins, not pirating... you sir a kinda retarded..."
Great, I am with you on this! The next CFW will be able to do all these things (Here's hoping, at least)! Of course, I support homebrew whole-heartedly, or have you not read what I've posted? ME:"The PSP should be about homebrew, not piracy."
"You just contradicted yourself too... you said you pirate, but... you don't like pirating???"
All information should be free. However, we should be able to control ourselves as individuals and do the right thing. "Pirate" is a generalized and derogatory term. Again, things out of context, etc..
