**UPDATE** PSP firmware 3.51 comes to UK; U.S. hold tight, you're certainly next |
Ó
It was just a couple of hours ago when we learned that Sony has unleashed a new official PlayStation Portable firmware over at its PlayStation site for Japan. Dubbed as firmware 3.51, this development is still somewhat shrouded in mystery as the only known change implemented to it is the fix for a certain security vulnerability.This time, the very same firmware appeared on PlayStation UK and Sony is still keeping mum if there are other changes made to it. The very short changelog reads,
- Security:
- A patch has been added to address security vulnerability in the system software.
We check the official PlayStation for North America and the said update is still nowhere to be found. Despite that, however, we believe that it's just a matter of hours or even 0moments before Sony brings it to the said market.
Updates as we get them.
UPDATE: As we said earlier, hold tight U.S. because you are certainly next. True enough, official PSP firmware 3.51 just appeared on the PlayStation site for North America. It seems that the new firmware is indeed all about the security patch as reflected by its changelog:
The PSP system software version 3.51 update (with v 3.50) includes the following:
- Network
- You can now connect a PSP system to a PS3 system via the Internet using [Remote Play].
- [Communication Settings] has been added as an option to the [Remote Play] menu.
- [RSS Channel Guide] has been added as a feature under [RSS Channel].
- Other
- New for 3.51: A security patch was added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software.

FIRST!!!!111!!111111!!111!1
Let the hacking begin!
3.51 came out last night. but you gotta do it over the psp it self.
The 3.51 Firmware has arrived for PSP North America Version .
Of course it's made because of the Illuminati exploit.
The FBI is coming to everyones house with a CE i dont know how they can tell but there going to MAke People Upgrade TO The Official FIrmware or you're going to jail
you can get it through the network update
I just upgraded to 4.31 fw and a small rabbit came out of the usb port and ate my head.
We're so lucky **Sarcasm**
When I have time I will be reading through the extensive list of new features. I am excited, I wonder what extra options and fixes Sony added for the customers. This is so cool and shows Sony really care.
F##K FBI,MPAA,RRIAA
And the war goes on... :)))))))))
3.51 is out on the offical US site goto sony.com/psp
sony r fruits they hav been beat time after time after time ect.... its sad really and noobz/DA ect never get payed thanks anyways guys for the hacks may sony burn in hell and who ever has 3.51 should hav there head eat off good day!!!!!!!!
Using CFW is not illegal. Illegal is playing piracy games on it. Using CFW is not only for ISOs, it enables homebrew so you can use instant messangers, themes and enable unsupported media files... BTW, if you have downgraded from 3.30+ and you have mainboard TA-082 or TA-086 - you cannot install original firmware anyway.
# New for 3.51: A security patch was added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software
ooh,we feel safe now....
i updated to 3.51 but it sucks. i didnt see any extra security. can someone give me a downgrader? its very important.
bonka bonk bonk... tja..
hahhahahahhaha
haha u complete and utter prick
you idiot any1 who upgrades to the latest firmware is a tool. you are a tool and a should have dumbass printed on your forehead
sfds
i bet DA is mad, he cant get an OE done without a new one coming out in the middle of development
I just went to the qj link to download 4.51 and I noticed
that you can give the firmware a rating so of course I was the first to give it a poor rating. I think everyone should do the same ;}
Did I say 4.51 i ment so say 3.51.
4.51 wont be out till tomorrow ;}
you're all so dumb for not spotting this obvious troll post designed to get responses like yours.
thats crazy nuts, cause just last night i used the downgrader on my friends psp, but first i used the official sony 3.50 upgrade from their site.
i was wondering at that time, if sony had caught wind of the Lumines exploit and had patched 3.50...
of course, now I realize they are silly, and wouldn't patch anything without adding a .1 to it... :)
they should have fixed their flawed 3.50 immediately, instead of changing the number!! because now everyone knows NOT TO TOUCH 3.51!
F U PUSSI, u cant hack so STFU
yea, you really only have one choice now. get a different PSP. or wait about a year for the next downgrader (if there is one)
which brings to mind, what will sony do about all those 3.50 preloaded models now? recall them again..?!
Alert sony to weaknesses and they fix them every single time. Why don't you guys get that it's better to keep these exploits under the radar for a while?
U guy obviously didn't do the 3.51 update and u have no idea what u r missing. My 3.51 security patched psp can now shoot out UMD shurikin style to anyone who's trying to steal it!!!!!! I m so proud to be a 3.51 psp owner!!!!
***** U,, IF U UPGRADE TO 3.51 THEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO BE HERE JUST KILL YOURSEF OR WAIT TILL DECEMBER until the make a downgrader.. i heard that this was the last downgrader from a trusted source on the aftersawn forums.. if someone upgraded to 3.51 then its their fault anf should run while they are reading this to the nearsedt ebgames, walmart, or gamestop to get a v3.50or less psp, befor Sony recalls all of them to upgrade to *****ing 3.51
Consider this:
Given Sony's track record with protecting their new firmware(s) from the old decryptors, chances are they'll still work with 3.51.
Also, this is the second UMD an exploit has been found in, the first one being Liberty City Stories, of course. Then think about all the games Sony and / or other companies have released.
It's absolutely impossible for there to not be another exploit in at least one of them. It's just a matter of figuring out which one it is.
i just upgraded it's great!!!
im happily using 3.40 oe-a
How do you know they didnt wait for 3.50?
the reason sony made an update is to get the noobs so they can't have homebrews. so the forums won't get flooded with noob questions.
Like.
Can someone tell me where to download homebrew?
Thank you sony
for making the forums less flooded.
but more n00bs will ask "when will the 3.51 downgrader come out"
this update is nothing and a piece of shiit! all it is, is security..
Amen
OMG you guys, I just updated and HEN wont work anymore!!! What do I do? I cant run homebrew anymore!!!!!!! Dark alex, u better make a downgrader now!!!!!!!! Also, I think I might have found a way to downgrade 3.51!!! If you take the battery out your PSP freezes! I think this is an exploit! Call dark alex now. Anyone that is dumb enough to update, your in luck! I found an exploit!!!!! rofl (JK)
I think they looked at the codes and nearly ***** a brick, about that "secret kernel" mode, found in such an old game too, when will they ever learn that they can't stop us. AHHAHHAHHAHHHH! !!
i never understood why they dont make it they would screw a lot of people that way.....think of it sony as i stay in DA's CF !!!!
DAX IS THE MAN !!! GREAT WORK MAN !!!
just stupid, thats what u r.......so funny ! WOW !
Has anyone even tried it? >_>
That security patch thing could easily mean something else...
DAX wouldn't get pissed over something that stupid. He will continue to work on 3.50, there is no point in working on 3.51oe-a because there isn't any new features, just some lame ass "security" fix.
I hope they were joking when they said "According to Babelfish, it's to fix security". Really? What else would it be for? what else is every .01 for?
Lol
Chill man, i was kidding, I'm just imatating what all the noobs are going to be saying in a few days. lol
My guess is that sony could and would still be able to sue anyone using CFW, as its a reverse engineering of their product.
Read it on any game cover, it specifies not to do that
hey my psp got brick but i used xpango and typed in the refferal code 90523051 and i swear it worked!!!!
i got a brand new white one!!!
Seriously??? People.. hes trying to be funny. Retards.
hahaha i know thats awesome, thanks sony for your 3.51 umd shooter!!!
ban him plz...
wtf man
ban him plz... wtf man
security!! i better uprade cause hackers will destroy my psp :(
you are a very insensitive person, that actually happened to my cousin a few years ago
LOL SONY are so pathetic,
'A security patch was added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software.'
They may as well just say that the PSP has been hacked into, LOL they are just getting so annoyed about the legends, N00bz, Fanjita & Dark Alex!
dear sony firmware maker, you and your team are very stupid.
nobody will upgrade to this 3.51 firmware.
the hacking community is not even giving this a notice, hacking this firmware is a total waste of time.
no psp user with a proper state of mind will update his/her psp to FW 3.51, there is no such benefit in doing so, and a chance of bricking has a probability and not worth the update.
instead of making senseless security updates like this, i suggest you and your team work on better tools to be included on the actual firmware like more media support/youtube on browser etc, because incorporating the needs of the public unto the official firmware will decrease the motivation/reason to hack it further.
What's with all the "GAY"'s. Someone a little insecure here? Go find yourself a butt buddy and stay off the comment pages.
so what if he cant hack he's talking about noobz and dax and them'uns....... can you hack!?
dont ban him cause he is telling us he is gay. show your gay face please
SEX
gaygaygay etc. etc.
GAY is Madness!!
My best regards of the matter of Japanese version LUMINES.

Man these comments are just absolutely horrible this time around, haha.
I mean when I clicked the article link I was thinking, "Brace yourself for S0NY IZ GAY" and other things of that nature, but come on
Yes, Sony is pathetic, this multi-billion dollar organization is pathetic. I forget what have you done lately?
They brought you the PSP.
Its cause your a *****ing dumbass like every god damn n00b in this world thats why.
WOW!! 3.51 I WONDER WHEN 4.51 WILL BE OUT MAYBE TOMMOROW. security revisions i cant wait to upgrade to the latest OFFICAL SONY FIRMWARE. .obviously not.
IE7 on XP sucks. Update to vista and use IE7 on vista or stay on XP and go back to IE6 or firefox. (I had the same problem) As for losers like "Mii" get a *****in life. Ppl like you just waste space on forums. If your going to say something, reply to a question, comment on the article or stfu.
who ever upgrades to 3.51 is a complete and utter waste of life and needs to die right now or at least smash their psp now before someone else does. i can see the look on some poor sap who upgraded thinkin a downgrader for 3.50 wont come out and a day later he checks out the site and *****s himself. so heres my "GO ***** YOURSELF FOR UPGRADING!!!!!! !" to you.
GAY
CANT BAN F.U.C.K ALL HAHAHAHA
WWW.LEMONPARTY.ORG
soooo whenz there gonna be a 3.51 downgrader??
you people are ruining sony, screw homebrew, everyone who says they want CFW for hombrew is lying they just want ISOs, and they know it, they also want the emulators which are ILLEGAL because most of you dont own the game, and reverse engineering sonys firmware isnt prohibited. I hope you all die a horrible death because you have destroyed a great company which was once a great success.
The only reason i went from 2.6---->2.71----->1.5---->3.03 OE-C is to play PSPRevolution and have the halo theme, let me list all of my homebrew:
Emericaskata8r's Super Mario Bros. Portable
PSPRevolution v0.3
Planet Smash
Dungeons 2006/11/25 18:21:35
No Gravity :DEMO:
PSPRadio
You *****ing noob
Sony should allow hombrew and anounce it to the world. they will make more
Ur a secret agent sent by sony to try to get people to upgrade to 3.51.
I have to send my psp in for servicing but will sony upgrade my firmware to 3.51? I am currently running firmware 3.40
Sorry to tell you this, but it's the PS3 that is destroying Sony... They made huge mistakes when they created the PS3. They thought it would sell like the first and second PlayStations, but so far, it doesn't sell well, because it's way too expensive, and there's hardly any decent game for the console.
Sony fails really hard at the moment, and it's their own fault! Removing the retro-compatibility hardware from the PS3 in Europe was for example one TERRIBLY bad move. What do european consumers think about this? Unless they're dumb, they feel like Sony's sticking something deep within their a$$, and not in a gentle manner. If you see what I mean.
As for piracy on the PSP, well there was a lot of piracy on PSX and PS2 too, but they both sold millions of games anyway. One of the reasons for this is that they had a lot of great and original games. The PSP does NOT have a lot of great games, most games suck or they are remakes...
If you ask me what I play the most on my PSP, I'll tell you that I play old PSX games (that I still own, and rip myself, heh) through the PSX emulator. And I thank Dark Alex for that!
I'm working on it now, it should be done in a minute...
When i bought my PSP, i did it because i loved Sony for all their high-class products.
But now i'm just so annoyed by all this Firmware update cr*p, and i'm not gonna get a PS3, cuz they are doing the same thing with that...
I haven't bought a PSP game in something like a year. I just download them from Warez, i'm so annoyed with Sony now, i don't even care if they go bankrupt because of Warez!
Really i mean, it's Sony's own fault that the PSP and the PS3 suck!
Hey VSG, what are you, ten years old?
About 90% of people update their firmware to the official sony firmwares, for many valid reasons.
Sony make new updates because they are obliged to, as piracy is illegal and causes them to lose money.
Whats the exploit, and in what game. I dont think sony are stupid enough to leave behind a third buffer overflow in a save file...are they?
but disabling them slowly in the earlier models
i deeply recommend not to upgrade. I prefer downgrade. Im playing iso's with fastloader and it works great. And you arent ruining sony wenn youre using iso's from internet. Sony is exploiting us, the bastards. They could copy there games allmost for free and still they ask something like 40 bucks for each game. Think about it. With 3.51 you can't use custom firmware anymore :(. Unless there come a downgrader or homebrew enabler. Time will tell
u ppl are just mean and wo i just bought a psp a couple months age and i got a thing saying download 3.51. i didnt but i stil have a chance to and i dont know if i should i may be a noob but i bet i am smarter then you if u call me a noob puknz
I got a new PSP 3 days ago, and it came with firmware 3.11, as a Noob. I used network update because I wanted 3.50 not 3.51. After the update I realize, it's 3.51. Dont blame me I've had it for only 3 days. Im a noob.
it's coo' i'm in the same boat just getting mine not knowing any better. We'll see how long it takes for the next one to come out..
I really want homebrew, and someone please make a DOWNGRADER.

u guys are *****s the ppl that rag on ppl for urgrading wtf man some ppl might have not even known anything about hacking a psp and upgraded then learned about it later so stop being ass holes and caling ppl noobz and ***** cuz they upgraded obviously they are already pissed enough for being tricked by dumb ***** sony.
..if i want to play homebrew ill just use my comp...u people ***** and *****..you sound like bunch of nerds @_@ !!
hmm today i just bought a new psp at future shop. when i went home i was about to check out if i could download games into it like i always do. i used to download ISO/CSO, firmwares, emulators, and e.t.c. as i spend about almost the whole day trying to download stuff into my psp. but everytime i do it i go to my home menu >game>and the software im gonan isntall it seem to say either corrupted file or the file im installing would say, could not play game blah blah and it says these numbers. whats up with that? i checked on the net and i end up reading the update that said itll give super protection security. thats when i realize it doesnt allow people to download downloaded games,emulators , firmewares and e.t.c. is there any chance that there will be a downgrade for firmware 3.51? if there is a downgrade in the later future that you know. please contact me at versaceboi69@ms n.com. thank you and to all those people who are about to install firmware 3.51 in your psp DONT INSTALL IT YOU WILL RUIN YOUR PSP AND CANT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING INTO IT! goodbye!
so u actually got a psp or r u just a loser?
Alrite, on my PSP Firmware Version 3.51 something came up when i tried my own way to downgrade using several different methods.
While I was messing around with my PSP, I got something under the game section that says, "PSP Update ver 2.81"
The only problem happens when I click it. I get this message, "The system software of your PSP system is version 3.51. There is no need to update."
Now, I am a noob at this PSP stuff, that's why I am at Firmware Version 3.51. But if this information could be important to the discovery of a new exploit to downgrade, then ask me for some information and I'll tell you exactly what I did.
If people have got this on their PSP before then just let me know so I can stop feeling like im getting somewhere with it. :smile:
Thanks a lot!
