Update Firmware 3.70 on the loose for both PSP 1000, 2000 types

Posted Sep 10, 2007 at 6:00PM EST by QJ Staff

Although it hasn't been released in the most official of channels (be it the ol' reliable PlayStation downloads), shun goku satsu, moderator of the Official PlayStation Portable forums, has begun a discussion of future firmware updates for the PlayStation Portable. Lo and behold, for within the introductory post, the moderator slapped on Firmware 3.70 - a software update for the North American iteration of the PSP-1001 (as specified).

Find it hard to believe? If it feels like a huge Venetian rug has been pulled right from under you, we know how you feel. Moderator shun goku satsu, though, has enforced his post with a complete changelog for the "future" firmware update:

You can now set custom themes in [Theme Settings] under [Settings].
Support has been added for assigning buttons in [Remote Play].
A scene search feature has been added under [Video].
Sequential playback is now supported under [Video].
Simultaneous playback of content under [Music] and [Photo] is now supported.

Now stress has been given that the firmware update is strictly for North American PSP-1001s (PSP Phats) and *NOT* for PSP-2000s (PSP Slim & Lites) nor for any PSP model purchased outside of the US. Also, we've got hold of the PBP format version (the one you can save on your PC) so you can think twice about going through with the update. (Editor's Note: It's now been confirmed for use on both PSP 1000 types and PSP 2000 types)

Much kudos goes out to Mikey_424, hockeyroks33, Dante6660, and WoolySpud for their timely tips!

Our trusty research team has just informed us that an official changelog has been made available on the Japanese PlayStation website. The information given is functionally similar to the stuff we've posted above though, although there is one main exception we've got to note.

Contrary to the information above though, the 3.70 is meant for both the PSP 1000 series and the PSP 2000 series, so whether you're using a "Fat" or a "Slim" - Type PSP, there are new features there for users. Here's the additional information for you:

Network

(Remote play) [the button to allot to the menu] it added.
1000 series: PSP "of Portable TV" (R) "[pureisuteshiyon] portable" for attendant upon the end of image download service, the P-TV idea contest was deleted. Details this (http://www.p-tv.jp/) viewing.

Television

2000 series: [It corresponded to data broadcast with [wansegu]].
2000 series: Even in the television which does not correspond to progressive image output system, when viewing [wansegu] broadcast, it reached the point where the picture can be output.

It can output to just the television which corresponds to progressive image output system with state when purchasing.

Video

It reached the point where it can play back the animated picture which is retained in the memory stick duo continually.
Using Â“VAIO Mobile TV Ver.5.0,Â” it reached the point where it can play back the animated picture file of [wansegu] which is retained in the memory stick duo.

This update is also available for European PSPs, just use the Network Update functionality. I installed it on my PSP Phat this morning. Even though theme customization is now officially included the only theme available is the default theme. Maybe more are coming some time later? Button mapping in Remote Play means that there are two different button layouts available: the standard PSP layout and "extended" layout where L3/R3, right analog stick and so on are used using Select + some button. Anyway, Lair should be now fully playable through Remote Play. :)

haha i was ust about to post this

heeeeeelll yeah Fat's Up Slim's Down cant wait for 3.70 OE or M33!!

# oh yeah — Guest 2007-09-10 19:17

i downloaded it from network update on my 3.40 OE (no region hack) and it's a EU (PSP-1004)(Netherland s) PSP and it updated sucsesfully (and downgraded back with pandora) :D:D

# jh — Guest 2007-09-10 19:19

C0000000K1333333SSSSSSS THEME!!!!!111111 , LOVE IT!

# psp-1002? — Guest 2007-09-10 19:26

So is it compatible with 1002?

# holy SH1T — soopergooman 2007-09-10 19:28

That was a quick update. for the fat, past 360 straigh to 370. will wait to see if it really is pandorable.

# well — Guest 2007-09-10 19:32

actually QJ.. . this update works on PSP-1001 and PSP-2000

Its universal... theres no diff

# Thanks Kevvv! — urherenow 2007-09-10 19:33

That's exactly the question I was going to ask. Since they too must be able to repair bricked PSP's it's a little far fetched to think the could prevent Pandora (other than messing with IPL stuff, but that's just a small speedbump when m33 drives a Bigfoot Truck over it :P)

# yes... — Guest 2007-09-10 19:37

now all we need is the CFW version

# HELLLZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZ YEAH — Guest 2007-09-10 19:40

hell yeah!! i can save cache now..............woo whooo.

i set it to use 100mb of my 8 gig stick to run games super smooth

# OMFG — Guest 2007-09-10 19:42

ELLLZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZ YEAH

yes

# lol — Guest 2007-09-10 19:59

Pandora confirmed xD

3.70 -> 1.50 works.

# OMG — Guest 2007-09-10 20:44

FINALLY MUSIC AND PHOTO SIMULTANEOUSLY.. should have been like this from the beginning...

NOW

they need to fix the "disconnect" when going from internet browser to RSS it disconnects you from the internet and you have to reconnect... annoying!!

# How do I use a custom theme? — Guest 2007-09-10 20:44

In the article it mentions that there is an option to add on custom themes to the firmware? I'm just wondering how to do it.

# Yay. — Guest 2007-09-10 20:48

Hope M33 customize this firmware because I like all the features it has. Go for it M33!!! We're all counting on you!!!

# Go here — urherenow 2007-09-10 21:21

http://www.jp.playstation.com/psp/update/ud_01_exp370.html

and scroll down a bit. There are only 2 themes so far and the software for us to make our own is in the works (but there is mention of september so it might come sooner then you think.)

anyway, put the .ptf file in PSP/THEME

# haha — Guest 2007-09-10 23:58

Another idea copied from CFWs!

# ptf editing/ maker — supa_sick 2007-09-11 02:12

i dont know if this would help much to you theme fanatics. but i did some boring quick research and i found some editors for ptf... http://www.vicman.net/downloads/dir/UniView/7445.html

it seems like alot of you dont think about searching for the avantages of theme editing. so use google and search ptf "fool" pspupdates rules...

# 657 — Guest 2007-09-11 04:53

now where is that 3.70 m33 ?

# jhk — Guest 2007-09-11 04:58

so, does it run em super smooth then ?

# . — mreverdred01 2007-09-11 06:42

there hasn't been a firmware update worth getting since 3.00

# ... — mohaas05 2007-09-11 07:45

i think its a little more than ipl. a firmware update will never be able to stop pandora. the only way i could think would be to reflash the ROM in the psp or something (if it has one) but with the 1000's discontinuation i see that unlikely. perhaps sony will modify the 2000 to use a different method of repairing.

# ... — mohaas05 2007-09-11 07:48

they're trying to lure people away from using cfw although i do admit the themes look pretty cool. anyways im hoping m33 will roll out 3.70 m33 soon. i have my faith in you guys!

# UPDATE NOW — CorporateThug 2007-09-11 08:37

great i'm gonna update my psp

# damn sony — Guest 2007-09-11 08:54

sony is just copying custom firmware and homebrew creators with some of the features.

# sony = weird — daBomB 2007-09-11 11:36

come on sony... you know better than this

sony = dumb$hits, homebrew allows for so much more - why turn it down?!

go nintendo for that homebrew on the wii thing.

and m33, please please release a cfw. i know this is a lot to ask, but wow, you guys would be heroes if you did that :)

# To Mister Common Sense... — BrendanL 2007-09-11 14:10

It wouldn't be useless. I'm sure tons of people would love to have these new themes, like me.

# wow — Strongbadunit2 2007-09-11 14:17

Sony is not creative at all...hmm lets think about this...a music prx allows simultaneous play back of music and photos...And we have custom themes already -_- wow...i wounder wut they will think of next...most likely a stolen idea T_T...anyways...at least with this you can increase your caching size for the browser...meaning larger flash file playback...and larger web pages to load...so yes an M33 CFW would be good but just for that +/

# O.o — xXPedroMaxXx 2007-09-11 14:27

Awesome!!!!

# well... — Someone_PR 2007-09-11 15:17

the custum theme is one of the things I used homebrew... and now you can do it without it... just waiting for the software... the audio and photo thing is cool but I will not use it... they needed to do it since the beginning... now... a video fan like me... the Scene Search it's the best thing they did... I love that feature really... about the remote play thing I never use it.. if u can't use it like the location free that u can turn on the PS3 on the go then how? Letting it on always in remote play? no thanks... but maybe they will do it later

# dumb — daBomB 2007-09-11 16:47

a new cfw would allow umd caching. smarta$$

# WOW — Naroon Kasui 2007-09-11 17:01

3.70 M33, HERE WE COME!

Looks like Sony has been listening to us. Kudos to Sony. Wow...Best game corporation in the world when it comes to pleasing it's consumers.

# To: Strongbadunit2 — Naroon Kasui 2007-09-11 17:04

What are you smoking? Not everyone uses CFW or can even get to it, so this is good news. It's great that Sony is listening to us. How is Sony stealing ideas anyway? Sony even admitted that CFW creators ACTIVELY go in and TALK to Sony themselves!

# To daBomB — Naroon Kasui 2007-09-11 17:06

Idiot. Homebrew would allow for piracy. I use CFW but I'm not a pirate. I support both OFW and CFW. Homebrew on the nintendo is most likely gonna suck balls, so meh.

# playstation spot — knifr 2007-09-12 10:39

can someone clarify this for me. in the new firmware 3.70, are you supposed to be able to have access to the playstation store from any where or only at the download spots?
