im first reminder !!!!!!!DO NOT UPGRADE!!!!!!!! !
for ur own health and safety
awsome looking forward to this update even though its just a minor one! Yay first post!
there must be a vvulnerabiility in 2.7 maybe
Who is gonna be the first poor ***** who upgrades first?
Just to say that those photos up there are from someone updating from some old version to 2.71, so all those new features in those photos are not only from 2.71, but also from 2.70 and maybe from 2.60 aswell.
P.D: Thanks for putting the names of the people who submitted the news.
i will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever UPGRADE
Kewlll
If sony upgraded so soon and only a tiny update, that must mean that they found a flaw in 2.70. Now if we could find that
flaw.
Another update with all new useless features! Still no descent flash support? Still no full resolution video player? No chat function or anything else showing any innovation at all? I don't see why anybody would update.
is it just me or does this update seem quik after 2.7? like maybe there is some exploit they found and are patching it and just adding the demo dl thing for a cover up
where are the demos
i see no reason to update .2.71 does not have anything worth updating .
I doubt there's an exploitable flaw in 2.7 - I think we'd know about it before Sony did.
It is strange though. I thought you could download games already with 2.7 - wasn't that the whole point of 2.7? Probably just a bug related to using authorized downloads from the new download store.
PSP update 2.71 is avaliable on all PSP via the network update , and the psp site
No not directly. In 2.7 you can't create that folder you put the eboot in.
I agree #10
comon, fanjita start hacking!
i only see 8 and 10 wat happened to the others?
I have 2.7 and most of the stuff in this new upgrade my 2.7 already has, and i don't really see the point of upgrading for a stupid jap demo and a few fixes that don't even effect my model.....
As Mr Common Sense said "Still no descent flash support? Still no full resolution video player? No chat function or anything else showing any innovation at all"
(Sony i know you can do better than that!!!)
STICK WITH WOT YOU GOT PPL ;D
You can find the demo download here: http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/kazuo/dl/trial_dl.html
oops nvm lol had it on "hide unregistered". i agree i think theres a flaw in 2.7. im not gonna upgrade to see what it is though. im happy with the 1.5 i jus traded my friend for(haha sucker, thinkin 2.7 for 1.5 is good deal) the onyl way id upgrade is if that modchip really works and i get another psp.
where the hell are the 21 comments? thats like 5!
not be able to play homebrew? nevermind mr chip will be here soon hazah!
Just because they release an update it doesn't mean there was a vulnerability before it. They are adding new stuff too.
The update is also now available in Europe - just upgraded my UK PSP to 2.71 :)
Well, got my white PSP with 2.01 so i have updated to 2.5, 2.6,2.7 and now 2.71
The game kazou is a sudoku-type game.
I hate sodokus, so not a real reason to upgrade i am afraid :)
But all you "i will never upgrade" people, not everybody got a 1.5 or 2.0 psp, so stfu please. I would also not upgrade if i had a 2.0 or below, but there's no other way.
Also I got from 2.6 to 2.7 for my own good. I had to wait for GTA to boot up everytime i wanted to play FF VI, which crashed all the time, or the PSPlayerMT, anyway. Playing Monster Hunter or Tales of eternia beats playing FF VI at chuggy framerates, sorry.
One last thing: If there was to be a metal gear solid psp demo, or FF VII playble demo, then all you losers would upgrade.
I don't understand why the hackers keep doing so much for you, because you'd screw them the very instant you think you'll get something better!
U.S. update via wifi is available.
now, that´s what they WANT you to think
maybee they got a hand on the modchip..lol
U.S. network update available.
I hope there is a exploit in 2.7 pls people look!
This update was too fast and nothing important in it!
This release was too fast, just nearly next to the 2.70 release. Why? We don't know... a exploit? just to had some new functionalities ? Rumors.....
But now with the "download games to Memory Stick" option, most probably SONY will launch more demos... and if they launch some really cool demo of an antecipated game, like FF VII, MGS Portable Ops., Lumines II, etc... it could be a blast! But for now, I think I'll stick with my 2.01 ;)
This update is also avaible for the EU PSP’s
England and probably the rest of europe now has a new update!!
R Kelly loves his 1.5.shizzle... now we will have forums full of.. "does it work on 2.71?? and we will have to say "NOTHING WORKS ON 2.71!!!!!"
2.7 is availble for the US people now too via System Update.
It states we can download demos to our psp on the memory stick via Web Browser. *Doesn't do us much good though unless Sony is planning on some English games*
AND something about a correction with Location Free Player.
So this update pretty much blows.
Thanks Sony.
I have downloaded, installed and used my new 2.71 update. There is little to comment on right now as this is such a tiny update butif you have a 2.7 firmware, then there is no point in holding back I took the risk from 2.7 and i have no regrets what so ever. Everything on your psp will work on this update. So there is no reason why not to upgrade.
And a message to you other firmware people, there is getting more reason to update and this will especially become greater when there are english games to download!!
p.s.If you have a psp 2.70 or 2.71 and you want workable homebrew portals, why not download the following:
Most recent; Media Centre PSP: www.kinkymedia.net/mcp
XIS: www.pspcave.com Click on downloads, portals and you will find it there. There are plenty of others there too, some good and some bad and alot of them out of date. (old versions)
I thought that there was already homebrew on 2.7? Or am I confusing that with demo downloads or something.
I think that anyone updating now (therfore loosing homebrew) are a bit stupid, they should wait for v3 see what the PS1 emulator is like and how it fits in with the PS3 life etc.
UK update available for 2.71, downloaded + deleted
Theres an exploit there has to be!!! This is great news.
homebrew for 2.7 is limited to flash games or apps, or whatever HTML Portals you use on the browser.
I've said it many times , 2.7 must have an exploit hidden in the RSS , you know that in the 2.7 psp of save data from an RSS to the memory card and be able to work it always in the RSS , anyone tried disguising a downgrader or e-loader or lu player as an RSS? is it possible disguising things like that as RSS?
i think this update blocks the mod chip or something update at your risk i have v2.70 and waiting for a exploit so irm never gonna update now untill 2.70 is cracked
whats this new portableTV thing? im sure it wasnt there in 2.70
it says that it had added the ability to view GIF images under Photo. Does that mean it will view them when their moving or it'll just stay still. Cause animated wallpapers would rock. let me know.
someonr checkout 2.71 if you can play homebrew sony mite of just unlocked homebrew for us all to protect themselves from the new mod chip
RE:
"it says that it had added the ability to view GIF images under Photo. Does that mean it will view them when their moving or it'll just stay still. Cause animated wallpapers would rock. let me know."
nope they dont move! just tried
location free has been in the psp since 2.5 i think.
Um you MIGHT want to fix this:
WARNING: HOMEBREW WILL NOT WORK ON ANY FIRMWARE ABOVE 2.70,
That is incorrect my friend. It should state it will not work on firmware above 2.60. By stating that it will not work on any above 2.7, 2.7 becomes included in the homebrew capable firmware, whicih may mislead some n00bz to upgrade, which would suck and be all your fault
WOAH...i am updateing my system now cause i dont care about homebrew cause i am goin in the army and when i get done with basic the GPS will be out but anyway
WHEN i told it to install the UPDATE.....it did not MAKE me plug the ac power in like noraml....it went right through with the update....dont know if anyone can use that info helpful or not but just thought id share it
ok I found a way to disguise any kind of file or folder into a RSS , first take something like the downgrader and upload it through ripway and it will turn to a html , then go to http://www.wotzwot.com/rssxl.php and tunr the HTML to an RSS and the downgrader is bound to work on the psp , any 2.7 owner willing to try this I'm 95% sure it's bound to work.
What is Fanjita's homepage? I gotta tell them about this.
Better playing homebrew on my 1.5 PSP...
does it work on 2.7 ???????????????????!!!!!!! SOMEONEPLZHELP! !!!1111!
Just did a network update on my UK PSP and its updated to 2.71, same updates listed.
I am sticking with my 2 F/W 1.5's thanks very much.
Black & white just like MJ and an oreo cookie.
1.5 RuleZ. ..
sent an e-mail to fanjita about the possible exploit I discovered and #53 , no , this 2.71 firmware update doesn't work with 2.7 :)
got an auto reply saying fanjita is busy these days and cannot answer any e-mails.
iv got a 2.6 andhave always been able to view GIFs on it, although they don't move
ok I posted about the possible exploit I sayed in the off topic thread on sony's site so they wouldn't find out , 2 minutes later it was deleted , maybe the exploit on the RSS is true.
i have the best firmware, 1.50
downgraded from 2.00...
ANYONE that says 1.50 sucks is mislead, and probably doesent know what both 1.0 and 1.50 are capeable off.
1.50 can do everything, its just finding out how to do it.
metalspector i have try this but what is must do with the html code?
how do i download it
That was quick. Perhaps there is an exploit in 2.7 that we haven't found.
pls metalspector give us some tutorials to make this i will love you then when this works
that Fanjita already knows about the new firmware 2.71. I own a 1.5 PSP but I hope for all, that an exploit will be found. (Maybe a flash-exploit ???). Or an exploit like the gta exploit will be found in another game? Or we could ask sony, if they could produce the new PSPs with the mod chip included :-))))))))))))))) )))
How come Sony has claimed they will support homebrew on the PS3 but they seem adament that folks not be able to source their firmware for the PSP?
I WANT IT!!!!!!
Or... The eboots!!!
Hacking gods come and TRY EVERYTHING POSSIBLE ON 2.7!!!
all hacker come and look i know there must be a exploit on 2.7!XD
f[color=blue]uck[/color] sony!
This I think should work , go take the downgrader and go to ripway and trun it into a html then go to http://www.wotzwot.com/rssxl.php and convert the html form od the downgrader to an RSS and then save it in your psp , go to a place with wi-fi and the RSS should load the downgrader , this must work with 2.6 and 2.7 I think cause sony din't expect someone to do that and is allowing any kidn of RSS to be loaded by the psp. But if they expected someone to do this theres a chance it will say that it cannot be loaded , if not then the downgrader should work with the sane probability of sucess it worked for 1.5.
umm yeah while all of you are saying OMFGZ0RZ MUST BE A XPLOIT IN 2.7 HACK IT NOW why dont you try and help them instead of just being here telling people what to do >_>
Tried what I said so don't do it unless you don't mind playing with the chances and getting a psp bricked , I think the chances of bircking your psp with my idea is the same as the chances of bricking the psp by the 1.5 exploit but I may be wrong , I e-mailed fanjita but I got an auto-reply saying he's to busy and gave me a FAQ page about frequently asked questions but I don't know who to contact.
PLEASEEEE!
I can't find the goto network service thing under the network , where and what is it
how do u download the games if u have eu 2.71? gives error message on the jap site
I'm afraid of bircking it , I once had 2.0 and had the chance to downgrade with the downgrader but around 5% got their psps bricked and I din't dare even with those odds. This is a 5% + an unknown percent , the unknow percent should be maybe a 50% cause it's whether sony knew someone would find this out or not. I just need someone like fanjita to try this.
can someone give me the link to the downgrader?
1.5 all day.. every day.. never updating.. unless a firmware is hacked like 1.5 .. xD
hope someone out there can try this please for the love of god let there be homebrew on psp v2.70
Considering Sony doesn't give out firmwares until about a week after Japan there has to be a problem. When is the last time Sony got a firmware out to all territories in a single day? Oh wait, never. I upgraded to 2.7 because I got rid of GTA and didn't care for it, but I think I'll wait and see what happens with this and why there is such a fast update. It may be possible the update is just helping people download PSP demos directly to PSP without ever having to connect to a PC. But its simply so quick something must be wrong.
I can't find the goto network service thing under the network , where and what is it
when i make a rss how can i copy it to the psp?what must i do with this code?
ok after you have th RSS code copy the code in the RSS folder inside the system folder.
There is nothing you can do on 2.71 or 2.70 that you cant do with homebrew on 2.60 and below with GTA of course
wat difference does it make 2 da locationfree tv?
That message is a lie. I updated my self and it's not there. I suggest you guys move it. I've confirmed this with many others on the playstation boards as well.
metalspector hows your rss luck? im gonna test it later tonight the two possible hacks i havent tried is useing the new album art as an overflow and your rss idea but i suggest b4 useing a down grader try using sumthing like tetris or just hello world ill get back to u on this later send any other info you have on this to funwithfire101@netscape.net thnx
its not really fair that eu and us fw dont have that portable tv thing... next itme i will update jp fw >:(
us fw does and has had location freeplayr its above the rss feeds
While watching a vonage infomercial i heard them say "still the only phone company with voice over ip capabilities!". And i was like, wait a second, the psp update for the summer said "voice over ip", so that must mean the psp will be an alternative to a cordless phone, or it may just be a cellphone that only gets signals when near a hotspot.
there must be a flaw or security error in 2.7, we must find it!
also sony is considering broadband phone service but i bet homebrew gets it first theres tht headset out already...
nocomment
where do i get firmware 2.71 info at
i don't think the rss downgrader thing will work because the rss download thing will say Content Is not Supported
nocomment
metalspector your rss feed creator is to create TEXT rss feeds the psp only will run Audio feeds so i made a custom audio feed leading to eloader and i got "a server error has occured. (http status code: 404)" 404 is a not found right? hmmm
it doesn't work if you got an error , I thought the RSS was flawed cause when 2.6 came out they just decided to add RSS at final moment and in 2.7 aside from flash they worked with the rss so your could save data directly from an RSS code. ooh well.
how does sony make FW's we must get some 1 to get a job from sony and then tell us
Since it seem that the RSS exploit cannot be true cause #98 tested it but did you all know that gifs work in flas? I just tested an animated GIF on flash and it works although I don't know if the GIF exploit can work with flash , can anyone give me the Gif downgrader?
my bad is tiff but when I try to load the tiff file to the flash it say it has unreadable data by flash and doesn't let me import oit to flash , ohh well , theres gotta be another thing , anyone has the entire changelog of the 2.7 update?
i have firmware 2.7 and downloaded loco roce so what is all this what not about 2.71 enabling the ability to download game demos i already did will 2.7 play kazuao or w/e it is called to?
i have firmware 2.7 and downloaded loco roce so what is all this what not about 2.71 enabling the ability to download game demos i already did will 2.7 play kazuao or w/e it is called to?
Flash support is crap, Game demos, :L... crap.
Whats the point.
1.5 owns... Horray for DAXZISO & a 2gb memstick.
UMD can burn in hell.
when sony saw what we could do in 1.50 they put security updates--> 1.51 2.71??
U can load Demo's now..... Sooo make a loader that acts like a game:P
I really love firmware updates : ) it makes me so happy when i go network update and it says theres a newer version lol, even if there is nothing really ( like this one) new but i still love it. anyway i insatalled it and i downloaded the new demo, it would be cool, if i knew how to play it lol and i gotta guess through the menu cuz i'm not japanese. But i'll say this, loco roco is the *****, i'm gonna buy it when it comes out, its as good as lumines ;P k well i cant wait for the next update hopefully its 3.0 with some bomb diggity shiz p.s. homebrew is gay...go take ur sega and nintendo's out of ur old box and blow the dust off and use it...come on use ur psp the way its meant to be used losers. much love -arash
theres a gif overflow too? i considered trying a png overflow that might work but b4 that i need sum1 w/2.7 WHO KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING to first install the tiff overflow then to take the tif file rename it like you need to and set it as a thumb for an mp3 file. the reason behind this is that sony added a function to 2.7 tht they never talked about its the ability to add thumbnails more easily to an mp3 file
i wont be back on later today so metalspecter drop me an e-mail cause all i have is a 2.6 and my friends 2.7 to test on.
arash you like sonys games right? well look at it this way everyone starts some where and believe it or not game designers start out as just moding games then they move to homebrew and then finaly get to thier goal in life and become a gamedesigner. by attacking homebrew your also attacking the future of the gameing world im not here to argue im just warning you
tht worked on 2.7 already and to make anything run like them you would need sum1 inside sony to release theier signing software
I upgraded and went to download the Kazuo game, but the EBOOT file is required to be stored in a specific folder.
However, when you save to PSP you don't get the option of changing the folder to save to.
What's the point it you can't download via PSP browser then immediately play?
Know one more about exploit on 2.7?thats where great:D
I have sent you already 2 e-mails and my psp is 2.6 , anyways I sent you some information in both e-mails , read it.
the best things about it is that you can download game demos from internet and there's portable TV!!!!! I upgraded yesterday. I didn't really mind!!!!
heey guys 2.7 has a bug thats why there is a 2.71 a bug that is maybe a good sign.!!!
get a life...if you want to be a game designer then go to school...your right people do start somewhere, in school dumbass.. dont get me wrong i like seeing u guys release all this new stuff, but none of them have been worth getting...i started off with a 1.5 but then a web browser was released...a freeking real one that doesnt freeze every 2 seconds and then i have to hold my power button to turn off my psp but it wont turn off so i have to take out the battery...come on get a life seriously. If something good was released then i wouldnt have upgraded but till this day...i see nothing.
im in highschool please think b4 u try to offend
plz ban #117 , his trying to corrupt the "I prefer playing fun homebrew , emulator and have good apps on my psp for free and not listenning to sony cause they are greedy" minds of most of us , and he is being to much of a "I"m a big mouth kinda person who likes defending corporate masses and bring stupid arguments against people who do not serve the big corporata masses because they think different than me" kinda person. Another thing is lol , Arash , as in "a" painful "rash" to most of us? Anyways anyone who know alot about flash actionscript can make a copy of the codes os the downgrader in flash actionscrip? don't know if it's possible though but anyone who codes and knows about flash actionsrcipt could try.
hi someone should try this.....http://www.extralabs.net/rss-wizard.htm for the rss exploit
Any luck metalspector&hackerelite with your work ?
kinda i know its possible were gonna try an overflow on the rss image if that dosent work theres two backup plans
thnx hunter this looks like it might be an audio rss creater also unlike our last test subject ill let u kno how it goes but right now i have to go sword fence till like 12:30
Thx for you work hackerelite i hope you find some exploit
np but metalspecter deserves some credit too it was his rss idea im the one who coded and recoded the yet unfinished rss
This is the 2.7 hacking website put your coments in the chat section we're filling this up too much lol
http://www.geocities.com/sk8rfreak247@sbcglobal.net/
i might have found one downgrade possibility in 2.6 ftp programs where u can ,so far read and delete to flash 0 and 1 ill check later for write ability
umm oops almost brickd but i saved it hah i screwed up my system files and restored them
if u have any ideas stop by the site k
did we just give up on homebrew for 2.7 or something what happened to hacker lite and his buddys i was highly anticipating possible exploits and quitre ready to help out
was this thread got knocked off of the recents and less suggestions came in but we're still tryin
i want talk about downgrading so plz add me
im recodeing an old project that is hard to come by now its designers all quit before this exploit was evercracked
spread the link to my site to keep this alive
hi this is a downgrader i am working on ....................................http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdZRaPkCeTM
hey
hey why dosent anybody get the demos to their computers and edit those or find out why theyre playable on the psp maybe they have a vulnerability then host it so ppl can download it in short make homebrews based on the editie demos!well GL to anyone who tries this. if ne1 finds out nething about this email me @ spedboy333@hotmail.com
where do i get a downgrader for 2.71 to 1.50 because 2.71 socks
i need someone to make an overflow of sorts for me not a tiff overflow i cant get a hold of th epeople at mph but i need a good coder leave an application in this forum along with hotmail or yahoo if you are interested in helping with 2.7 , 2.71 homebrew. this is no joke if you are interested describe your coding talents and leave your hotmail or yahoo so i can contact you and give details of my plan
im *****ed then i got 2.71
noooooooooooooo ooooooooooo
