Sony PSP Firmware 3.90 out now *UPDATED with changelog* |
Ó

Sony PlayStation Portable owners looking to get more out of their PSPs, rejoice! The highly-anticipated official firmware from Sony, PSP Firmware 3.90, is now out, and with it comes the feature to use Skype. Yes, that Skype, the one that lets you talk over the internet free. Awesome!
So, just what sort of services from Skype are we talking about? Communication over the internet, as well as on mobile phones, baby! Of course, while talking to your Skype buddies is completely free, other types of calls need some moolah to happen. Below is a list of services that you can use upon installing PSP Firmware 3.90 on your Slim & Lite:
- Outgoing calls between Skype ID (Skype ID) (free)
- General and the outgoing phone calls (dialer, SkypeOut ™) (paid)
- General mobile phones in the phone (Phone receiving, SkypeIn ™) (paid)
- Voice mail exchanges (some paid)
- PSP ® console (PSP-2000 series)
- Memory Stick Duo ™ (capacity needs at least 1MB)
- Wireless Internet access environment
- PSP ® Skype to respond to the voice input and output devices
- Earphones attached remote control (PSP S140 G-G-270) + headset (PSP).
- 1 headset connected to the remote system to connect to the PSP.
Thanks to HeLRaZR, jj_ob, and Mickey_424 for the tip!

Skype is all that and a bag of chips... but for those that don't use skype, even on PC (like moi)... it doesn't really matter.
so now the question... since i don't read Korean and the firmware isn't available from the US playstation site, yet... so, when it does become available, what else will be in the firmware? will there be two distinct firmwares (phat vs slim)?

(i know skype dont work on phats but i wanna see the other features)

The update works on both Fat and Slim, they aren't separate.
Slims get both Skype and more PSN title support, meaning all that's added to the Fat is the PSN support. Those things are all that are added.

It unloads your custom background and custom theme just to load this.
All the sound effects are exactly like the PC ones.
The audio quality is decent; I had a friend in Ireland call me via his Skype cell and I could make him out quite clearly.
There is NO TEXT MESSAGING.
Looks like I'll be grabbing a PSP headset.

version 3.80 doesn't really add any useful features. The radio player sucks, but skype on the psp slim would really be a feature worth creating a custom firmware for.
We're counting on you DAX

Either way since it probably won't happen, I'll stick with 3.80M33 until something that actually applies to my PSP comes out.

Support for Playstation Network titles has been expanded BS again? You mean reduced?
No more PS3-PSP remote play?

The whole time my PSP was like "You need 3.52 M33-3 or higher...." and I have M33-4.
Man, I was trying for about an hour to figure that out....my config was set on 1.5.
Sweet!

You mean like what they've been doing since firmware 2.00? They've been adding new features along with exploit patches with newer firmwares for a long time. Like bumping people over to 2.00 from 1.50 with the internet browser. It's nothing new.

I am having difficulty updating my psp from firmware 3.52 M33-4 to 3.80 M33

not doing so is like going outside to a porta-potty in subzero weather to go take a #2, instead of using your bathroom toilet. And in this case it comes with a stink fan, auto-flushes and a seat warmer.
They fixed the psp go buy a real one already.
If you like n64 that much then you should know it runs like utter garbage on there anyway.
Now flush and go buy a slim.

DOesn't matter great things for slim way to go, But if skype is cheaper than a celular is worth it, i mean almost everyplace in this world have a damd WIFi spot enviroment, so is nice to have this feature, the bad is that is not for the PSP-1000, amd I know FURIKUP is by NoobZ, but is more dificlt to use and there's no always a good VOIP Server that really works... So is more like unstable than stable, like this Skype, that's why I like it sorta... but yeah we hope DA or some codder port this REally cool and organized easy to use without hesitate to the PSP-1000(phat0, in anyway, u know like an homebrew, flash add on, CFW UPDATE . regarless the method he use, just do it as u like but do it, I know FURIKUP is great, but is not always have that security that u r calling or recieving a call.... So we keep an eye in to it!
Thanks! CHEERS!!

Don't wanna bash furikup though, i like it alot and i think it has potential if someone gives it a nicer GUI and fixes the bugs.

I have 2 fat PSPs and I'd take them over the slim any day, because skype is useless, and 1.5 kernel mode is useful.
You're a dumbass xyal_zx

And if you can't afford to pay, you can't afford to play. Don't whine because there are those of us who actually managed to save a "whopping" $200 for a new PSP (yes, I got the Vader edition) despite having normal living expenses. If you dont make enough to save the same, then you need another job, and need to quit gaming.

Anyhow, I can't wait to try this out (and the time machine once it's released) on the psp that I got from www.swatcash.com/admin
BTW, I like dark alex's use of words
Quite clever. I wonder if firmwares will have special names in the future?
