Tomorrow, shmorrow, 3.01 out via Network Update now

Posted Nov 21, 2006 at 10:04PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Firmware Tags: SCEE, Sony
Ó


You sure this is out yet? You wanna use your PSP to find out?That was fast. Only a few hours after Karl wrote up on that Dutch SCEE admin dropping hints about FW 3.01, CrEec mailed us that he's found 3.01 up on Network Update already.

Sony hasn't updated their websites past DA BIG 3-OH yet, but we found this FW 3.01 update floating around available for download. And based on the info we've been able to gather up to now, 3.01's just a security patch. In other words, as far as we can confirm, nothing major's added to the 3-OH, other than another potential loophole filled up.

Download link's below for the FW update - if you're still interested in jumping up a hundredth of a notch (0.01). Otherwise, let the speculation regarding potential exploits from the last article rage on in this one. (And for a moment we thought this would be a Rumor).

Download: [FW 3.01 update]

This si dumb, Why do we need a ps3 for ps1 games on the psp? They just want our money!

Wow...

What the heck? Who would upgrade to this? People already have their Remote Play and other stuff from the 3.00 update.
by - 2006-11-21 23:01:20
3.0

How come Sony does not have the official upgrade on their sites (connect or playstation)?
by - 2006-11-21 23:16:19
Please Update

Please Update we have many feature, REMOTE PLAY DATA CERT. AND MANY MORE PLEASE UPDATE UR PSP
by - 2006-11-21 23:21:34
ja

i hope that was a joke. im thinking there is another way to run homebrew on the psp especialy 2.80 because they sent out 2 updates that are just security updates.
by jrfhoutx - 2006-11-21 23:22:31
...

people who didn't upgrade yet will now upgrade to 3.01 if they use network update, cause 3.0 won't be there anymore. and anyone who updates via downloads from the official Playstation sites won't get 3.0 (at least in the U.S. cause it never made it onto the support board or download section) cause it will now be 3.01, that's who will upgrade to this, anyone who wants to upgrade but hasn't yet... Sony America (don't know about Europe though) is kinda slow on the draw as far as posting Firmware updates on their support page. Not to mention the fact that the online download that most sites post (before it makes the U.S. site) is the japanese release, they get everything first, the U.S. release is for the 22nd (even if they came out the same day it's already the 22nd in japan, you know dateline and all ;), so it may be up in the next day or two. and for the last time you will eventually be able to download PS1 games without the PS3, just not right now. Sony has to get the infrastructure set up, damn people can be whiny and impatient...

LOL!

Lol ! Dark_AleX please do an 3.00 SE - A Custom firmware!! :D SONY FCK OFF
by pspgamer81 - 2006-11-21 23:27:15
This is a good update, Well 3.00 is.

But i really don't have the money to buy a ps3 and most of the new features in 3.00 require the ps3.
by - 2006-11-21 23:42:37
LOL

I really hope none of the people that already updated to 3.00 will update to 3.01. If theirs a security patch that means something has to have been wrong with the 3.00...probably making it easier to crack. Dont update any further untill the PS1 emulator is available to the public through the PSP.
by Keegster - 2006-11-21 23:43:38
Pics of update

Yes, Its just stupid "Revisions to Secruity have been added" http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Keegstar/SSPX0363-1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/Keegstar/SSPX0362-1.jpg Sorry, I could not get a clear picture

by blackmobb - 2006-11-21 23:47:44
This is speculation but...

This is speculation but maybe these updates are Sony's way of telling the hombrew community that exploits are there in the lower firmwares like 2.80 and 2.81, or else.... Why didn't they just go 2.82 or 2.9......... This is just me thinking outside of the (x)box tho...... YOU DECIDE! -_>
by axelixc - 2006-11-21 23:49:22
loop hole...bug

this is good news from sony coz they had just confimed to us the 3-oh indeed has bug. more bug = more exploit = more chance of homebrew possibility = more chance of downgrade. woo hoo !
by - 2006-11-21 23:55:25
Safe?

Is the download safe for UK PSP's?
by - 2006-11-21 23:56:05
.

Amen to that!
by Dinesy - 2006-11-22 00:01:24
U gots the right idea!!

Good luck to our psp community's hacking elite, we all hope 3.00/3.01 will be unlocked soon for all to enjoy without giving up homebrew and ISO/CSO Emulation!!
by - 2006-11-22 00:09:27
Wow, that was fast lol

I wonder if some poor coder at SCE got demoted to janitor for releasing a buggy 3.0 lol Ah well. That ***** sure was fast though. Goes to show how hell bent Sony is about ruining any fun that they can`t provide.
by Kayne - 2006-11-22 00:13:47
great

This great news caus now we know there is a bug ^^ I downloaded 3.0 yesterday (2.71 Se-b) and im glad I did just to check caus now I have the 3.0 instead 3.01 :D
by - 2006-11-22 00:15:25
*****

Coder is fired, I know that *****er is uselss.
by pspgamer81 - 2006-11-22 00:18:21
lol

Why would he be fired? All sony updates need a "Patch"...LOL
by - 2006-11-22 00:28:57
Its not as easy as that...

Dark_AleX has said that 3.00 has been encrypted very differently so it will take ages to decrypt, and he also said that an SE might not be possible because of the lack of memory in flash0. I wouldn't expect an SE or even a devhook for 3.00/3.01 any time soon! Yet, all firmwares are hackable... with time. There is no such "unhackable firmware"

*ahemcoughlookslikesonyknowssomethingwedontcough* hackers, start working on 3.0.
by - 2006-11-22 00:59:25
That's obvious

Of course they want our money, they're not giving us PS1 emulation out of their own good will. The real question is whether forcing us to buy a PS3 (for now) instead of allowing us to download with PSP/PC will really increase their profits.
by - 2006-11-22 00:59:53
we are doomed :)

eventually there will be no space on the flash 0 on the psp after more updates. Then noone will be able to run homebrew, even if the psp is worked out how to run homebrew on. We are doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (breathe) ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed

if u give us devhhook and homebrew then i mite
by DiabloTerrorGF - 2006-11-22 01:07:28
You guys know why you need a PS3 right?

First, you can't do it from PC to PSP, too easily hack-able. Second solution is downloaded directly to MG formatted MS. Easy enough but... PSP's wifi has a huge problem, any file that is bigger than around 5 megs being transfered over the net get corrupted(not anything major, but it can be bad). There are ways around this. Another thing is people could use hacked routers or PC gateways to obtain the files being transfered to the PSP and then release them without anyone needing to pay, while this sounds good to us, it's a loss to Sony and they want to avoid this. Solution? They have to make the eboots customized on the server side to certain mac addresses(or other unique data security method) so even if someone does transfer the files, they couldn't run them on a new MS or another PSP without the unique key or mac.
by pspgamer81 - 2006-11-22 01:09:05
Ok

Your funny, I know your IP
by - 2006-11-22 01:15:29
No.

No they just don't want Xbots to get ps1 games.
by Ninkul - 2006-11-22 01:22:38
No

Its not safe for any PSPs +p it cant support homebrew *shock* lol
by - 2006-11-22 01:24:36
no, idiot. no you dont.

im afraid it constantly changes. ;)
by - 2006-11-22 01:30:35
what about australians :(

@DiabloTerrorGF So your saying we need a PS3? Australians should of got the PS3 in Novemeber to. But NO, we got pushed back till next year. So I have to wait 4 months to get a PS3 then to get PS1 games. F**K THAT S**T! By the time it comes out here, you could probly buy the games off the PC. I dont know WTF is going on!
by - 2006-11-22 01:47:02
.

"According to ps2dev forums there is no flash0 in the new 3.0 firmware for the PSP. Decryption is no easy option anymore since its not longer using Flash0 FAT12 table. So don't expect any new devhook soon. "
by - 2006-11-22 01:54:03
we need to run legal ps1 isos

we really neey a "magic program" that could fix the ps1 Isos right analog stick problem so we could run ower private collection of ps1 isos (if u allready run a ps1 emu on yer PC) i mean i have legal isos i backed up from disk....i want them to run with a sony offical PS1 emu....but that might never happen (PSX-P needs more developers and testers i guess) time will tell....................mabe we need to come at this problem from another approach...............hack the F#ck out of the PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!then mabe we can trick the psp into think it is running a ps1 EBOOT thru a ps3????????????
by - 2006-11-22 02:15:19
sad

@ DiabloTerrorGF \ There have also been posts about that the playstation download store or whatever it was called was coming later this year, allowing PSP owners to download PS1 games without the need of a PS3.

Sony is correct about the stuff but in when they are writing its in capital and sony would only start the first word as capital1 thin second in the end they or a fake write's "UR" which Sony would not do!

by - 2006-11-22 03:45:43
False

False! There was a little bug, which caused the time and battery icon to flicker when you'd press the home button when ingame.

Update 3.01 because of bug in RPG Jeanne D'Arc

From Gamefront.de translation from german: " Sony has updated yesterday the firmware to version 3.00 in japan and the usa. There have been problems with the firmware with the RPG Jeanne D'Arc from level 5, which is selling in japan since today: the game freezes on the load screen and you can't play. That's the reason why sony has published a new update (3.01), with which you can play with Jeanne D'Arc"

That's nice.

That glitch has been around since 1.50, though, so that's not the problem here.

by BULL3TPR00F - 2006-11-22 05:53:57
wow

QJ is pretty dumb, its a bug fix, not much of a security update.
by - 2006-11-22 06:20:36
Yea..

Sony must really piss you off so much because they invented that PSP you're so fond of. It's pretty funny that there's already a freakin update to 3.0 haha.
by - 2006-11-22 06:53:56
Chris L. is gay

chris u are gay. who the hell writes 'DA BIG 3-OH'. what the f_u_c_k is that supposed to mean? Its 3.00! its funny how sony refers to bugs as 'security vunerabilities'. either there is a bug or sony have found an exploit!
by - 2006-11-22 07:01:28
nonsense

why ppl would upgrade to 3.0 to then downgrade and lose all the features? Moron.
by coolguy5678 - 2006-11-22 07:31:35
Have you ever heard of "Homebrew"?

Seriously, it's hard to use this site and not know about homebrew. Someone might have updated for the features but changed his mind after realising he wants HB back. Also, 3.00 being downgradable means we can get more people into the scene which is good for the scene. Someone may also buy a PSP that comes with 2.81+, and if 3.00 is downgradable then that person can get homebrew (if devhook for 3.0 or 3.0-SE is ever released, they can still have "all the features" anyway).
by Fanjita - 2006-11-22 08:21:44
Wrong

This is indeed a security update. You might like to get your facts straight.
by - 2006-11-22 08:41:48

Obviously Fake

Without a doubt someone trying to have fun with the people that get tricked easily. Big time companies have mature workers. Any announcer would have good vocabulary, grammer, and spelling. Has anybody ever seen someone from a big time company spell "your" as "ur" to promote their stuff?
by - 2006-11-22 09:26:17
wow

I imply from ur post that you have upgraded. If so, you dont deserve homebrew.
by - 2006-11-22 09:26:20
OMG!

the great fanjita has spoken! listen to him bulletproof.
by - 2006-11-22 09:29:21
there is no emulator

from wut i heard the games are eboots that run on the psp and run like regular eboots. that means there probably is no emulator just an eboot file.
by - 2006-11-22 09:30:25
psp

i just updated my psp to 3.01 by accident! but the weried thing was theat i didnt need to pulg the ac adaptor in i was looking around the fetures when my cat jumped on me and i skipped and started the update.when i saw it start i thought o SH*T but i let it install an its fine now!
by - 2006-11-22 09:31:47
Lol

Fanjita Even says so.
by - 2006-11-22 09:37:07
He never said

that he would make it. so u cant keep on hoping for it. Hopefully he comes out with a downgrader and if lucky CF 3.00
by - 2006-11-22 09:39:48
YES!

Thank god I upgraded to 3.00 in time.
by - 2006-11-22 09:50:36
Erm... No.

If you backup a ISO or ROM from a game it is illeagal.

by - 2006-11-22 10:59:27
Thanks Sony for the psp,but what went wrong?

I guess we will have to wait for firmware 4.00 becuase sony sucks!! They said the 3.00 update should be huge but what the ***** did we got? Like nothing for ***** sake!!! ***** SONY, Sometimes i really hate them...
by - 2006-11-22 11:02:58
HMMM

Why dont the hackers get update 3.0 and look into why it was changed.....would $ony really realease an update with a BUG? It must have some security issue which can be EXploited! SO get the update and look through it and figure out why $ony changed it....might be just the thing the scene needs
by - 2006-11-22 11:19:49
PSP 3.0 Firmware - ? 3.1 ?

What is the bug? Sony can say thers a bug and a million ppl are like quick update. There Aint No Point I upgraded Becoz I Was On 2.81 And Im Trying To Make The Nan Flash Bigger!

Question ...

How do you play .GIF ??
by - 2006-11-22 11:26:43
Wrong Scott..

You're allowed to backup an ISO from a game that you own, as long as it is being made from your original copy. It IS illegal however to download a rom or iso, even if you own the game. But, because you wouldn't be circumventing any kind of copy protection on a ps1 game, it is legal (as long as you don't then sell the copy :p )
by - 2006-11-22 11:36:40
.

if the games for ps1 run on eboot we can probobly figure out the path they use and make a program that loads emus and eboots to the ps1 emu and run anything from that we might not even need custom fw of stuff like that

WOW if you want a downgrader make one yourself

DO you think theres a downgrader for 3.01 if 2.80,2.81,2.82, and 3.00 hasn't been hacked (execption of 2.80 homebrew)

by - 2006-11-22 13:10:30
Sony is ok...

Hey, they made the psp didn't they? And they also left an exploit in 3.0 pretty damn open. ps. i was one of the first to get 3.0, i got it at 11:30 at night the night it came out! So i definetly got a buggy 3.0!
by - 2006-11-22 13:26:55
solution to ps3 for ps1

they will probably create a machine that is used for ps1 game transfering and that alone

awesome

somebody better find that bug so they can PWND $ony, its probably JPEG related too
by - 2006-11-22 14:35:48
time....

my geuss to why they released this fix so soon is so the retail devs could put it in thier forced update games instead of the 3.00. man i hope the hombrew gods are able to get thier crowbar in to pry this security crack open.
by - 2006-11-22 20:10:45
3.01

To upgrade or not to update,thatis ze question. Primarily if you fcan wait...zhen i would not upgradz cause of ze h4x0rz, aye? ----- ----- For the more english scholars: It's questionable to upgrade due to the fact of Ps1 Emulation, all of the great hits and titles that one did not get to play back before his or her days. So the thought is simply percieved to be the fact that in time, there will be an emulation of 3.00, so should one wait? Welcome to my "Hello World"
by - 2006-11-23 01:22:15
Say what

This ish is too confusing yo i put dat on da hood what i wanna know is how da ***** do you guys on here understand all this hackin ***** ....and can one a yall help a brother out i mean damn teach me somthin so i can pass the news on to my fellow less inteligent psp owning friends in my hood 4 real.

Ps1 Emulation

i was wondering whether you actually need a ps3 to put the ps1 games on. i have ps1 iso files and i don't know where to put the file (i.e which folder). Im in the uk so ps3s aren't out yet, so if anyone has got ps1 games on their psp, can they tell me the folder that they are in.
