Sony to roll out PSP firmware update v5.01 very soon

Sony PSP - Image 1As with all updates, there's always that persistent little bug that's able to crawl its way into the system. PSP's Firmware 5.0 is no different, and so is not immune to such issues.

As you all know by now, FW 5.0 came with the newly added feature of direct access to the PlayStation Store. The folks over at Sony then found out that there is an issue as regards to the larger-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duos.

Apparently, when downloading content from the Store to your handheld with an 8 GB or 16 GB MemStick in use, a message pops up saying that the media does not have enough free space -- even when this is not the case!

Not to worry, though. They'll be rolling out an update very soon, they say. And they promise that update 5.01 will resolve this issue so you shouldn't get that memory problem any longer. No word yet as to when exactly the update will arrive, but you can bet we'll be right on it for you.

In the meantime, keep it posted here at QJ for more gaming news and updates.

I haven't noticed a problem with CFW5.00 M33. I have an 8gb Sony branded MemStick and had no issues downloading from the PS Store. It must be specific to certain brands?

I am sure that this is just another "gotta be ahead of CFW" scenerio. Typical Cat + Mouse game.

It seems like Dark Alex should always wait a week before releasing a custom firmware. Now we are going to be behind by 0.01 again lol.

You can't fix hardware with a software update.

I received this error persistently while trying to download larger files, including the 59mb Lego Batman demo- with over 100mb free space. Smaller files (themes, music, etc.) were fine. I only have a 4gb card though (4gb Sandisk ultra II.)

I'm willing to bet he was working on the new psp. It's not like a huge update came out that we all had to have. I was fine with 4.01 still. I'm sure this time he will come out with a update fast. He always has been ontop of Sony!

You need enough free space on your memory stick for the game, x2.



You're downloading the installer on your memory stick, which then installs the game on your stick.

# Well My ms-Pro duo 8G preety cheap...PSPMAN90 2008-10-22 06:02
Yeah I bought an "SONY" MS pro duo 8GB at ebay at 26 dollars with free shipping from a Chinese seller who only sells MS Pro duo of 8gb from 0.99 Bucks to up at bids.... Quite good, too good for be REAL! Yeah FAke is what I call it.



At this time i am like mad but was cheap, and was shipping less and now I get it, When a Chinese guy wants to sell you something That suppose to be Expensive and he offered Cheap, and comes from Honk Kong and its made in Japan and have a extra "T" its fake don't buy it!



At least have all the stoage memory 8.1 -7.54GB so pretty nice, but lacks in speed and ISO-CSO READING, the 800mb- up barely read's them....



Most of the smallest ones read it fine, like 200MB to 400MB.



Its still cheap and I can still use it and sell it like in 45-50 bucks to some dorky guy and get profit of the waste.



Props!

We don't have to move up a number just because SONY released a new firmware. We should consider the features.

That's one of the reasons why DAX didn't make a

3.93M33. 3.95M33, 3.96M33 or a 4.05M33. It's the features and the kernel, not the number.

That's what usbfake.prx is for.
