I have 2.0, but in no way am i gonna upgrade, bcuz i mite in the future downgrade, if they make installin emulators easier....emulators r too comfusing rite now, plus Super Smash Bros GP sux ass!! But im keepin 2.0!!!! Mite downgrade later!!

so... is there anything that really changes if you get the upgrade or just that you can't downgrade?

they should include java in the web browser. i would upgrade then.

Just put the internet switch on your psp to off :)
No prob then... no silend update :)
Now that MPH released his source we all can help how to fix that.
So evryone with the knowledge HELP!

Hee hee my 2.0 is safly stuck on a UMD, hahaha! anyway who said tif exploit still works on 2.01? that would be totaly stupid thats all the update fixes...

BTW u could edit the wab version changer in hex but ud need a non kxploited one...

NOTE Kxploit helps protect your code, becuase important parts are seperated into a swap file and u cant unpack using pbp unpacker rofl...

ANYWAY DONT UPDATE, its not like theres a reason to update... all i kno is that new games are gunna require that so theres no downgrade after playing them, and i want to kno how sony knew about our exploit the second we managed it?

I guess the news spreads so fast, im not saying where but the people that work at the shop i got my psp even knew and were excited to downgrade, and they did....

Put it this way, people that know better have 1.50, people that will never know the difference will have 2.01, luky people have 1.00...

There no 1.00 downgrade because there was no 1.00 update, but you could dump the firmware and apply it but thats dangeros... BLAH BLAH

bibi

very funny! and now?

is there annything new you can see ?

(wanders how many people that downgraded will go to network update (when board of homebrew) To go back to 2.0 only to discover 2.01 at the end lol XD )

This makes me want to go out and buy new psp, start the update, unplug the battery half way through, brick it, take it back, over and over. If enough people brick their psp's and make sony eat enough fixing applying their useless updates, they will start to think twice before putting them out.

Is there a method or program for downgrading my psp with firmware 2.01 on it.

I hate all the lamers saying that they are gonna UPGRADE, where they TRICK the nubs, and idiots out there to upgrade with EM LOL...


DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE DONT UPGRADE, YOU ARE IN BETTER HANDS IN THE HACKING COMMUNITY!!!!

How did it spread so fast? It was on national television on G4TV. On Attack of the show. They showed it and explained how to do it.

I dont know if anybody else noticed....Under the user Agreement for this upgrade they seem to be using DNAS as they started using when the PS2 was able to play back up games...This sucks hopefully they exploit this along with a version changer otherwise goodbye iso's...

My WiFi switch stopped working, so I was going to send my PSP back to Sony for a new one. Think I should wait? I never use the WiFi.. I don't want 2.01.. :/

The GP2X is quite nice, and I have a feeling I too will buy one since it is basically my PSP now with the exception of being cheaper and not playing PSP games.
Honestly, Sony could run the community SDK but their unwillingness to give trust into the community and have a grip on the market will be their downfall. I have just recently played the latest Guilty Gear ISO and it is amazing. Sony best concede and allow us our homebrew and that will not make some of us have to find other ways to play their games.
All in all, Sony vs. Sony Consumers, how sad.

Sony is scrambling and running scared right now. All we really need is a new Wab Version changer to portray the new update!!! Then we will be able to play whatever we want. I am not sure on this, but I think it may be too late for sony to bundle software version 2.01 with GTA...at least I hope so!!!

^^^^ Oh yeah, Dblaze, I'm sure it works with all the games that require 2.01.... what's that? None require it yet, so this likely won't work as the newer games will use a more sophisticated method of version checking.

I have news for you, GTA is already in printing. They might require 2.0, but there is no way that they are going to take all the already printed discs, put off the release another 3-4 months just so they can demand 2.01 firmware.

And to my knowledge, there aren't any 2.01 firmwares on the market, and Sony isnt giving PSP owners ANYTHING at all, so there is absolutely no reason to update unless you are a ninny and want to have all the newest updates.

hope someone gets a idea of making a version changer for 2.0 so we can access the web browser and probablty open the possibility of homebrew on 2.0 its only a thought

oh comeo on
what noob would fall for this load of crap
no new features, could have put somethin like symbian in itr at least

sorry that im posting annonomous... but is sony acctually this stupid to believe that we would have the balls to update it to stop the homebrewers? we all know what it fixes so the only people who would update are probably noobs who dont know what homebrew is and since sony wants the hackers and homebrew runners to update its kinda pointless... if they were smart they should have added new features like from the leaked update a while back.

just my 2 cents

sony is a ****ing joke

They made the PSp in the first place...

Sony is smart. This was they are trying to kill off 2.0 Homebrew.

BTW, WTF does this update do?
I read it, and haven't a ****ten clue!

ravi; it won't take them 3-4 months just to change to require a 2.01 firmware. It will take them less than a week. You can bet that you'll see a 2.01 requirement on 90% of the games reaching store shelves before christmas.

sony is sooooo gay

Man Sony..
Just stop trying!

This is exactly what happend last time!
1.00's effect on Sony: Oh this is OK! Let's let it slide!

1.50's effect on Sony: Ok, this has gone far enough! Let's be uber gay and make a new version for dumbasses so they can't run ISO's!!!

1.51's effect on Sony: Let's keep being gay wads and make a new version that more gay!

1.52's effect on Sony: It's Gay, but it's unhackable! Let's make a version that actually has something on it now!!

2.00's hackable effect on Sony: Crap! Let's start this whole thing over and make a gayer 2.01 that's just a friggin patch!!!

Please Sony, stop trying to make us suffer. We're going to hack it... SO STOP TRYING!!!

2.01 still has the buffer overflow.. lol.

ill be pissed if LCS makes you upgrade to 2.01, it already makes you upgrade to 2.0. i don't even care about putting games on my mem stick, i want homebrew for some useful apps in the future.

any news on an e.t.a. for a downgrade?

If SONY doesn't prevent unauthorised publishing of software on the PSP, whats then stopping a company from producing their commercial project for the PSP and getting people to buy activation codes instead and thereby circumventing the requirement to pay SONY a single cent. Nothing, thats what!

1) The Downgrader works. 2) WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE PRAISING THIS UPDATE?!? And who are the bloody, brain-dead morons linking homebrew to piracy?! We downgrade so we can run games like Tetris and Chess, and applications like calculators and stuff that we can use. Sure, there are some morons out there who want to pirate PSP games, but that gives you no right to bash the people who work hard to get applications on the PSP. I have a dream...a dream where Sony can get a stick shoved up it's ass and allow us to do fun stuff with the PSP...WOOO Ranting spree XD

hope jap users remembered do download the 2.0 update, just in case they need it in the future, because with the new update release, previous versions will become harder to find... (something i remember from trying to find 1.5 back in august...)

Like putting neosporine on a bullet wound.

~post_break

Sony's "Great Wall" may not come tumbling down, but it sure will motivate people to climb over it.

dna$ can be patched easily on ps2 with a code from the original game. where you been at noober? quit spreading lies. you think a program can't be made on the psp side that analyzes and displays the dnas key from the umd, and then patch the iso with the key on the pc side? (by the way is the exact method to patch a dna$ key on a ps2 game). come on. you underestimate the pirates. daaaaar matey. psp online isn't that great to begin with. i've never used it. i've never used the internet feature of my psp. i could care less about online play on my psp. hotspots are a joke. they could have easily integrated wireless network with a few 'cell cites' in cities across the usa and charge a small fee...like a cell phone. whatever. bring on the dna$...ain't no one scared. except those that are going to use umd's to begin with worried about losing emulators...daaaar.

can you downgrade 2.01

"To be honest, if Sony decided that all new games must requirew the upgrade, I would just decide to Stop Buying Their Games. (AKA: Up Your's Sony!)

If enough people decided towards that (which is impossible), I am sure Sony would think twice."

Let's put os this way, the lastest game I bought was lumines. Until 2.01 get's hacked, the lastest game I plan to buy is lumines.

"do not pirate games. our economy is already suffering."

Holy crap, pspupdates has started a new country with an economy??? Maybe you forgot retard, but this is thw Rdo not pirate games. our economy is already suffering WORLD WIDE ****IN WEB, not USA WIDE WEB. Geez, idiots. I hate it when people on the net say "wat bout fredom o speech y0y!lol' THIS IS THE WEB NOT THE USA.

"Maybe you forgot retard, but this is thw Rdo not pirate games. our economy is already suffering WORLD WIDE ****IN WEB, not USA WIDE WEB."

Should be

Maybe you forgot retard, but this is the WORLD WIDE ****IN WEB, not USA WIDE WEB.

I like sony. I like girls. Sony+Girls= Great Life. People like you who decide to waste their life on weather it was a good idea on weather sony is gay or not = bad life. You guys can keep on tossin salad with some 40yr. old guy u keep chattin online with and be a total nerd. Who calls someone a noob, how gay can u get.

God bless America!

"psp online isn't that great to begin with. i've never used it. i've never used the internet feature of my psp."

Then how do you know that 'psp online isn't that great'? Please...do tell...using your amazing comprehension of the english language's grammar and punctuation.

BEST COMMENT EVER^^^^^^^^^^^ ^

yay@2.01

everyone stock up on 2.00 updates, so they can be readily availible, i bet those are gonna be scarce, haha

STOP READING IT

my head hurts....anyway, im happy that theirs an update for the fact that their will be less piracy in the future but i sure aint updating anytime in the near millenium.

what???at 9:06

I think its time to get rid of anonymous postions....please get rid of these porn peddling spammers!

Im thinking it's time to get rid of the comment section altogether. And for the guy freaking out about the whole 'your' situation, get a life. People make mistakes, if you dont like it dont read it.

Hasn't anyone looked at the update to find out what features it adds?

~Cris

Ok how NOT to get the update?
---
Sony definetly is making the battle here. Looks like the $$$ involved is pretty well worth it and that the money they are potencially loosing this early in the game will make a pretty big hole in their bank accounts. I bet that investors doesnt like this **** to happen LOL!.

Well guess what Sony, This is the way for a community to tell you to stop being fo friggin greedy and provide us, your customers, a way to do more with the device that we already spent $250 on.

"This... this isnt what the device was desing for..." Bah! Some of your customers arent your average stupid 12 year old. There is this group of ppl who aknowledge this and it is their way to tell you we bought the PSP and we will do whatever we want to do with it.

Release an SDK for PSP. Do something for your customers. Its a viable alternative and **** will be more controlled. Or just keep doin this and lose more $$$ on the way. These ppl are determined and you just put the test there. Definetly is cool to see how many different ways there are for ppl to fight the empire and make them bleed.

Hackers, crackers, coders, release groups, power users... you are doing a great job. Sony I hope you loose a lot of money.

They keep having these "security " dupates but the thing is that no2 is really going to "hack" into your psp.....=/

@JOHN 9:18 , Rebellious.

sdk = firmware code platform

i am downloading the update..! ;)

thanks for clearing that up/how big is this update

Finally a new update, yuhuuu:-)
Thank you Sony

wow, i wish they were this quick when I was waiting 3 weeks for the 2.0 NA update. or something. I don't know.

yea I heard the same thing. get 1.5 downgrader and use it but dont put that one file in your pics but put it in music file but its only a rumor unless someone actually test it

GTA will be only for 2.01 firmwire i bet. This has been my theory for quite some time and I wish the downgrader was released a little later.

Is it a stack update? I have a 1.50 and want to test updating 2.0 and downgrade. Is it a two part download? 1.50-->2.00-->2.01? Or is it 1.50-->1.51-->2.00-->2.01?
1.50-->2.01?

What I see here is the effect of a clash between two polar opposites...

On one side, we have the hackers, crackers, and coders, who want to run programs on their psp's, and use the full potential of the system. As a result, there are also people who program and run software that is meant to pirate psp games. They stubbornly try to crack sony's firmware updates in order to be able to run their programs and would be willing to do anything to maintain the ability to do so.

On the other side, we have sony, they have to deal with pesky software pirates and have decided that homebrew programmers are the enemy due to the fact they made this possible, and they will do all they can to kill the homebrew scene. They are doing their best to make mandatory firmware updates for that purpose alone.

As a result, both sides are locked in a tug-o-war that will continue as long as games for the psp system are developed. The "evil empire" vs. the "evil hackers".

There HAS to be a middle way. There HAS to be a solution that will satisfy both parties.

So, IF SONY IS READING THESE COMMENTS, I propose this: Create a programming language and include it in the next firmware update, one that can be used to develop stuff at least as good as the better homebrew out there, but do not allow this programming language to access umds and add a feature that will scan for isos and compressed or decompressed commercial games, and disable psp systems when any are detected on the memory stick. That way, homebrew developers can continue to program all they want, sony can relax (at least for awhile), and the only losers will be those who try to pirate games.

This is just an idea I believe would end this er..."conflict", if you think it is a good idea,a nd feel free to tell me how stupid my idea is if it is a bad idea. Also, if the general consensus of this site is it is a good idea, we should all e-mail sony and request this.

But unfortunately, Sony want to stop homebrew users that don't pirate aswell. Why? Emulators. Sony know that Nintendo, Sega etc will accuse them of copyright infringement unless they do all they can to stop emulators on the PSP.

you really didnt answer my question...I want to update, but is it going to go straight to 2.01 or 2.0? I heart my apps and I want to continue using them.

Did anybody just hear something? Must of been the wind

As any of you downgraded their PSP and it crashed? I just got mine and am a bit chicken to do it... I need confirmation that this reallllly works well

Seriously,just how stupid is Sony?Very few people will be upgrading to this firmware version.It's just plain dumb.Those of us with 1.5s will just stick to it and shun any future updates like the devil.

Oh yeah,and hope that there's new versions of Wab Version Changer that will change to version 2.01.

PSP's back ground color will change on the first day of each monthautomatica lly.

Welcome to the 1.50 community. ;)

upgraded to 2.01 and the overflow still works.. lol.

i'm really considering selling my psp and getting a gpx2. they not only allow homebrow, but in fact they encourage it! and the system is nearly as powerful as the ps2 for quite a bit less money. gpx2.com if anyone is interested in checking it out.
