Initial features of PSP FW 3.60 |
Ó
We guess we don't have to explain that in detail to you guys. Aside from the already mentioned, there's also a UMD Cache feature that will be used to increase the load speed of loaded video game UMDs.
In relation to the new video-out functionality, the new PSP unit also has a feature that allows users to change the type of TV that is connected to the handheld as well as settings for screensavers. PSP Fanboy connected their unit to a TV set and found that games are bordered, rendered at 480x272, and for progressive scan only.
Of course, we believe that FW 3.60 has a lot of other features that are yet to be announced and discovered. The most important among these for you, we believe, is how tough its security system is going to be. We have a feeling we'll find out soon enough.

yes first loving first all the time
Second!
forst botaaaaaaaaaaaa aachtes
Dark Alex isn't active anymore.
So, who shall hack the FW 3.60 ???
btw: FIRRRRRRRRST !!!
wow this is so gay. now at i cant post normal replys because the white box isnt at the bottem anymore...
anywhay.... dont the new psp got some different waves? theres 4 instead of 2.
and how does the psp connect to the tv?
Hey guys i was wondering if the new PSP video out put is still availible on the First gen PSP's?, the new PSP uses the remote control port to output the video feed, so do u think it will be the same on the First Gen PSP??
3.40 OE is the BEST Firmware from Dark Alex all works and Sony ***** Firmware Homebrew
this slim psp looks awesome but id stick with my fat ass psp with OE firmware.
This PSP can kiss my ass.. my PSP can do everything it can do anyway.. plus a million things more. (With the only exception being I can do TV out to a PC monitor, which is way better than any TV)
how do you do that keith? is it easy or complicated? i'd like to know or get a link, thanks.
were is the box at lol ima buy this psp just cuz off the value pack and cuz it has video out to tv
What kind of retard tok these pictures, seriously. my old SE Z800 could take better pictures of a psp than this guy... I'm not gonna believe this yet cause of this guy.
Has anybody else noticed that the 01-12.bmp got alot darker
Thnx
ima sooooo buy this but not till they fix the game out to tv example when u plug ur psp in ur tv it only display's it at 400x by 280 i think or 400x by 380 somthing like that so it's not the full screen of ur tv so that suck's ohh but it does come with DAXTER the game a 1GB memory card and a family guy movie for $199 ima buy this psp to play all the new games and my old one for hombrew and ISO hahahaha
You can't diss a refreshed hardware. period.
Slim is ok, tv output is good but allready done, better battery (order it from divineo.com), no infrared.. common! I love to freakout people with IRShell haha
The new PSP will be hacked like all machines. If Sony can access its inner memory, then anyone will with time. Its a simple fact that hackers are always going to be there. The community is building strong. I my self am addicted to this piece of black goodness
Dark Alex wasn't the only person behind all the mods. He was and always will be a legend to the PSP, but lets not forget all other devs. Small or big everyone has an impact on the PSP community. Even the "..first post!.." retarded people to anyone simply giving out ideas. As long as there is attention related to homebrew, there will be hacks.
Keep up the good work people,
peace
well if the 1st gen psp's cant output to a tv then I will be seriously pissed off cuz sometimes it gets real annoying to play psp cuz it gets uncomfortable!
I am not too impressed with the redesign, its the same exact thing, the only diff is a better battery, firmware enhancements (cuz of 3.60) and thin and slimmer, WOW. not enough to get me to buy it cuz my big psp still pwnz :)
FIRST FIRST FIRST!!!!!! YOU MAKE ME PROUD OF BEING A FIRST POSTER!!!!!!!!! !!!
Here is how I diss refreshed hardware in a 3 point outline.
1. TV-output to progressive only? I dont own a HD progressive scan tv that costs at least $200 for the 720p that is required to play low-quality rendered 480x272 psp games. Why dont I buy a PS3 while their at it? Sticking with Remotejoy.
2. Slimmer and lighter is a plus, but did they have to make it look like a cheap toy?
3. You can't hack missing hardware. Ahman is probably never coming out of retirement now that there is no infrared. There goes all Ir keyboard functionality setting that to square one and NOW they announce a partnership to create a major MMO?
There are pluses to this. Slimmer, lighter, USB-charge function, uses less power, better UMD drive function, possibly less prone to breaking wireless switch, better caching with more RAM. Just because you throw in these things doesn't mean that I can't get workarounds for my current psp without lossing my previous peripherals like batteries and custom firmware using less then thirty dollars.
Heres how: RemoteJoy, buy a USB charging cable, 2600 maH afterstock battery, use an ISO loader to speed up cache. Now thats not quite the same, but it definately knocks the value of the cheap remake down a good bit especially knowing that possibly its best features like the RAM caching and the TV-out don't have the same impact without having the best games and may require a good amount of hacking before the general person can make use of them.
agreed that is irritating, this must be from china.
I Bet It Gets Cracked In Like A Day Lol
So it looks like $ony will be FORCING us to buy their newer and upgraded PSP v2 if we want to continue receiving firmware updates...
How will Firmware 3.60 work on existing PSP v1? What will happen to all those options? Will there even BE a Firmware 3.60 for the OLDER PSP's (v1) that doesn't include these options? Probably not!
Sony has admitted defeat... Forcing us to either live with the fact they no longer support our beloved homebrew enabled PSP v1 or to go buy a new PSP v2 Slimmer, Lighter, Non-Homebrewable... $250.... again, Just so we can continue to receive OFFICIAL $ony Firmware updates?
WTF! Thanks a LOT $ony!
I say $250 by time you spend $200+tax on the console, then buy all new accessories since it doesn't look like the remote and headphone jack are next to each other anymore, and the battery is now different so if you want an external battery charger (like the official sony one) then that's another $25 and etc etc it adds up in NEW accessories that are unneeded because we already had them for PSP v1 and now they're now longer compatible!
The psp homebrew scene is dead, might as well just buy a DS now since it may be the next growing homebrew scene (well, at least they have a N64 emulator better than daedalus and the homebrew can use touch screen, Quake with keyboard on the bottom screens seems nice :))
From the article ''there's also a UMD Cache feature that will be used to increase the load speed of loaded video game UMDs''
I bet someone will find a way of using this for something it wasn't intended to be used for.
Dark alex,homebrews, oe updates was all great into Sony **** it up
how do i download it??
i dont see any downloading screen!
please point it out too me!
Peace
I don't know about the rest of you, but this is sweet joy to me. My PSP is banged up pretty badly from heavy use... wireless switch broken at the motherboard, screen scratched, UMD drive won't close on one side, over used battery...This thing honestly looks like a pretty good bet. And of course it's going to get hacked! DaX Wasn't the only legend out there! Fanjita & Ditlew, etc...
Either way. I'm going to score one of these with Darth Vader's face on it! Shweet.
Oh, and to all of you that are complaining that all this is is a smaller system, brighter screen, and better battery...
All the DSlite was was a smaller system, brighter screen, and better battery!
Did you read or simply looked at the pretty pictures!? Such a retard!
The articles says that you can not upgrade to this firmware with your current PSP. Its only for the new PSP and it is not out yet.
Why am I even answering to this... PLEASE someone else Diss this idiot :S
It dosn't have a brighter screen. Read from reliable sites please.
Someone please ban that guy... stupid ads...
no.
My concern is whether the hardware changes in PSP2 will be a significant enough that fw1.50 will be incompatible with it. I'm a little doubtful, but then 1.50 was never meant to run on TA-82, and we saw how well that stopped homebrew. I won't lose any sleep over this. :)
the psp will never die. so go get ur ds and die
**** SONY, im going to get a Ds. Sony are *****s
While they both have pros and cons, it depends upon what kind of user that the player is that determines whether or not the new psp is going to be worth anything. if it matters to u that it can charge through the mini USB port and that u can play movies on a tv, and its thinner, then get it. those are the only two noteworthy features, both of which are not (in my opinion) necessary. my psp battery fully charged still gives me 6.5 - 7 hours of gameplay. i really dont need anymore and if i wanted more i would buy and extended battery.
if anything, the newer psp is only goin to be good for the battery and the new xmb features which will obviously not be available on all (as some have dubbed it) PSP v1 because all firmware for that one has been discontinued. my psp now has some of the best homebrew from the DAX 3.40-OE to daedalus. im sure that as of right now my psp can do more things than the new psp will be able to. in addition to this, a thinner psp isnt really gonna change my experience that much other than the fact that is will fit in my pocket better. and as for the "faster" PSP v2; we, the "homebrew community", have already maxed out our cpu speed long ago. therefore i wont be one of the people who will probably wait inline overnight to get something that i pretty much already have.
although im not gonna lie, the star wars bundle was quite enticing. i do kinda want the most badass of jedi on the back of my psp...
ok im jus flat out sad. first off why does sony hate homebrew so much. i mean you would think they would want something like homebrew. homebrew is something people love, sony doesnt have to pay a cent for it, and it will help them sell more units. But i can understand why they hate ISO's because that means they wont sell UMDs. But i mean why dont they give this new psp more RAM, no security against homebrew, another analog stick, 8 gigabytes of memory, keep the memory card slot for extra memory, give it a camera, and let the system sell itself. Personally i dont know why sony hates homebrew so much and im not trying to be *****y but if anyone has a reason please tell me. i mean i look at my psp and see something with a ton of potential and i dont know why sony cant see the potential that me and millions of others see....
google psp tv
Put yourself in Sony's shoes. Let's say you make this sweet ass portable handheld, with the best graphics capabilities on the market and are selling games for 30 bucks a pop roughly. Now let's say you get a bunch of teenagers who figure out how to do emulation on there. Then as time goes on, the emulation gets better, and finally an ISOloader is put in with firmwares. Not to mention the slew of other homebrew original games.
The bottom line is that...
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
HOMEBREW DETERS SOFTWARE SALES
That is why Sony doesn't like it and doesn't want it. Either way, 3.60 will be cracked soon enough. Dark Alex may have left, which of course yeah is a huge blow to the homebrew community, but all hope is not lost.
It's really pathetic that all you guys and QJ are concrened about is the firmware.
Get your sorry asses a job and start BUYING your games. Piracy with the original was one of the damn reasons Sony unveiled this one.
OK GUYS ADMIT IT.
The main reason you are all anxiously licking *****s about whether or not 3.60 will be hacked is to play free games.
Nobody cares about SH** homebrew games that have an uncountable number of bugs and horrible graphics and gameplay.
The main reason you guys like cfws is because u can download ISOs. Dont even deny. What kind of an idiot would shell out 30 bucks per game and then back it up and play it when you can just quickly download it?
I will be the first to say it:
I LIKE PIRATING GAMES.
Actually, the DS Lite does have a brighter screen, as the original DS supported only 2 lighting modes, on and off, the DS Lite supports off, low, medium and high, and the Flashme custom firmware cannot add this feature to a old DS, even with firmware taken from a DS Lite.
News Flash you noobs!!!!
FW3.60 will not be made for the existing PSP!!!
i agree
good point,
will we have to get the psp2 in order to receive the new updates?
How on earth does that work?
of course old psps will get soon 3.6
The simple explanation is that sony won't maintain 2 version of the fw
And the dev won't maintain 2 version of their games.
Please think before posting
did you guys have permission to use those images? Or is this a blatant example of Copyright Infringment?
Only renders in 480x272?
Even third pary hardware made for the current PSP can render above that resolution on a tv, Sony screwed up again.
now with dark alex out of the way, sony launches a new more complicated firmware.
this seems pretty well orchestrated, and i'm really interested in seeing how it all turns out.
why in the hell cant this dude take a clear photograph of his screen....its freakin easy. All you need to do is set the camera in a position such that it can photograph the PSP screen and set the timer so that you arent touching it while it photographs.
Have any data to back that up or did you just pull it out of your ass?
firstly what do u think would happen if they intro another analog into the psp since the orginal only hav one?The ds also have backup roms that is boomin like all my frds bought ds was juz to modded it up,yet suprisely they are selling like crazy so dont pull some bs like that again
I'm excited to see new additions to the Firmware..but I'm more anxious to see who's gonna take DAX's place in creating the custom FW.In the meantime..I'll stick with 3.40oe for a while.
PSPRadio
Squarez
IRShell
PSPRevolution

oZone
Not to mention a customized XMB
Yeah I'll take homebrew FTW
Most UMD games are crap anyways save a select and I mean SELECT few.
thanx for the reply and sorry for bein so stupid
suck my ***** *****!!! *****ing idot!! get a *****kin clue dip *****t!
Send it to D_A!
ISO FTW!!!
if anyone does have any good ISO sites that are fast and dont have porn or viruses on them please tell me.
Obviously there are differences between the 2 devices so obviously the firmware will be built in a way to cater for both. DUHHHH. The options that are available for the new one, will simply be disabled or not available for the old one.
Also Sony would not be expecting us to buy the new PSP just cus its 'new'. The new PSP is an 'enhancement' not a complete change. More for those late adopters plus to give the system a fresh look. Geez some people think the world is going to end here

best site for isos. hands down. dont show up on search engines tho.had the link sent to me from someone.
I have a sneaking suspicion that TV out may be possible on the original PSP. If you notice the tv out / headphone socket on the bottom of the PSP lite, you will notice that the slotted connecter has 6 contacts. Now check your PSP's headphone connector and observe the same slot. Yes its half the size, but count how many contacts there are. This port has been used as a serial port in the past for DIY GPS hardware and also head sets (among other uses ive seen on this site). I think with a little time and creativity, a smarty here will be able to figure it out, or it will just be a matter of a firmware upgrade and an specific cable for the original PSP!
Demonoid.com great site for downloading BACKUPS. Don't pirate games.
i understand that the new psp will come wit fw3.60...but where and in which article does it say the fw wont be available for older psps?(it wasnt a rhetorical question, i really do want to kno)...did someone jus say it in the comments, and everyone went off of that?...also everyone here is concerned about running their homebrews and w/e....but sony cannot forget about ppl who have no idea wut homebrew is about...how do Sony explain to ppl who have old psps and dont kno wut homebrew is that they will not be able to have fw3.60 unless they buy the new psp...and wut if someone gives up homebrew(like i once regrettably did) and wanted to upgrade, but cant unless they buy a new psp....n e way, until somebody shows me where it says the fw3.6 wont be available for the old psp...im goin to believe it will be able to upgrade to it...
FOCUS YOUR IMAGES NEXT TIME
look like a copy from a video
this is FAKE!
" Have any data to back that up or did you just pull it out of your ass?"
well i have data myself
before getting my PSP homebrew capable i bought 5 games in around a 3 month period
after getting my PSP homebrew capable i've bought 1 game in about a 9 month period
i have no PSP ISO's on my memory stick just emulators and homebrew games
NO GRAVITY and the 3d car thing.
But it will get better eventually.....i hope.
Here's the problem with the numbers they give you on the news.
Let's say that they can determine that a $50 game has been downloaded about 20,000 times.
They will say that they lost $1,000,000 in sales to piracy.
There's a huge flaw in that logic though.
Of those 20,000 downloaders, you'd be lucky if 100 of them would have actually bought the game. That's $5,000 in sales lost.
So yes piracy hurts game, and software sales, but don't buy into the numbers they throw around in the media, they are extremely errant.
It would make no sense at all for the firmware not to be available for older PSPs.
I'm with you, I won't believe that crap until I see the redesign released and no update available for the first gen. Then, and only then will I believe it.
i don't have the best eyes but it looks like it says version 3.50
by the way
when i was reading reviews a long time ago before the PSP, this guy said that sony sucks and the DS is the best. but now i see this and i think that the DS isn't that great anymore. but the games are pretty cool
We need Dark_Alex back!
this firmware is awsome so we need 3.60 OE-A!!!
I am Dark_Alex Fan!
Its just a bit strange isnt it?
DAX vanishes randomly and then Sony announces a new PSP with a new FW. Hmm... I bet Sony are smiling right now.
And yeah, did anyone notice that the 01-12.bmp (the monthly themes) was alot darker?
Um RemoteJoy GUI.. If you have a computer with a video card capable of hooking it up to a TV then you have TV-out already... I use this to play many games and I love it! hook my big surround speakers up and it's really like a portable playstation
Good riddance.
I wish people would stop crying about "homebrew". It's not really about that, as most "homebrew" games are about the quality of lousy flash games. It's about piracy - both of PSP game and of older system games via emulators.
Sales of PSP game are horrible. Maybe it's not piracy, maybe it's just people not liking them. But Sony has to do something to eliminate the piracy factor to at least see if it boost software sales. Otherwise the PSP is dead. It's already dying, with 3rd parties concentrating elsewhere, and even skipping previously profitable franchises (Like NCAA Football, no 08 version from EA)
2nddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddd ddddd
all hope is lost and there will never be an updated OE...... homebrew is history
It's not about piracy, it's about freedom to do whatever we want with the unit we buy.
You don't see Microsoft placing security measures on Windows to stop people from pirating games, that's entirely up to the game makers, which isn't the case on PSP.
By unlocking the PSP's complete potential ( Which is NOT Free games LOL ) it's complete and utter freedom to do with your PSP as you wish.
Of course if you wish to deprive game developers of their well deserved income, that's entirely your choice. The truth is, many of us would never even consider buying the game in the first place, because we cannot afford it.
In reality, if I was filthy rich, I would still support the revolution, whilst perhaps buying EVERY UMD TITLE, just to support developers. ( well maybe not every, but u get the idea. )
http://www.freewebs.com/romthestampedepsp/
it's safe ^_^
I love you!
THE BEST SITE FOR ISOs IS www.espalpsp.com EVEN IF ITS IN SPANISH U JUST HAV TO GET A DICTIONARY OR AN TRANSLATION WEBSITE AND U GET ANY ISO OR CSO
iso pirating is crazy but one thing for sure is if sony put an iso loader in their newer firmwares won't pirating still be prominent what is their security for loading the iso's sounds like it wasn't thought through. i offically backed up all my games i own. GTA LCS, MGS PO, VP: LENNETH, IMPORTED TALES OF PHANTASIA, FF1 & 2. All my games are in great condition except GTA : LCS the UMD casing is broke i can take out the dvd and everything. sony should redesign or replace the casing free of charge cuz the pisses me off. It better not happen when i get castlevania chronicles: dracula X when it comes out. after i buy it im going to back it up and play it off the memory stick. plus the load times are extremly fast for off the memory stick. i am proud of the community for how far it has come today because it gave me a chance to relive so many classics and since i am still a DOS user i still have many games to play and im hoping the next release for the dosbox for the psp fully supports all low level apps like testdrive and might and magic and tapper.
Ok I got 3.60 firmwire cracked and it runs backup iso/cso. I have to be careful about sony getting upset,so if you want it, mail me.
iny
phew...this total new ass hottie release of 3.60 fw? demn....I'll stick with 3.40oe for a while o_O
Can you switch the motherboards in the two? Will you still get the benefits of the new one?
http://0okm.blogspot.com/2007/07/some-interest-thing-in-psp-200x.html
wouldnt it be cool if when the psp2 came out (im not talking about the slim peace of *****) if sony stoped blocking homebrew on the origional psp. It would be cool and wouldnt effect them because no one would be buying many origional psp games anyway
he means the psp wont have a brighter screen, not da ds lite!
cmon think about it. Now u will get to watch movies and replace the DVD player with the new psp. Instead of bunching together just to watch a movie and hearing the low volume, now u could watch in even in a plasma tv. Now if this psp gets hacked, then it is better cuz u get to do everything. I would be awesome to play Marvel VS Capcom on the CPS2PSP on my projector. Hey will multiplayer work? Tha would even be way better.

^^^^This is why sony hates homebrew.^^^^
Also Dark Alex may have left but he wasn't the first to crack the psp, he's just the one who stuck with it the longest and did it the fastest, probably because he had way too much time on his hands. No better way to get rich mind you, sony offers him a 7 figure payment to close up shop, I'd take it too, then start under a different name.
Sony's also happy, they've practically sold every copy of the worst game ever made this decade, made the profit, and stalled the homebrew community for the future, score, score,score, plus new hardware coming out, they just delivered the 1-2 punch and it WILL take the homebrew community a little while to recover, this happened before when gta lcs was patched, remember?
BTW, to that DS fanboy out there, the homebrew community is so small for the ds because the system is so small, concept wise I mean, the psp is flat out the better system, thats why the homebrew community is so large, the psp is so much more powerful than sony allows for because nearly a quarter of its resources are designated to security chacks and routines.
NO!!! the hardware will be different, completely, requiring different bios settings and drivers, which will be stored in the onboard chipsets, just like with computers. also, the port additions and wire trailing will be different if they add usb charging, cache, probably a processor upgrade, it will probably run on 2 or 2.5 volts, throwing another curve ball at mod chippers, etc etc etc
I barly play games on my psp I sue it mianly for watching pmp
qual versão psp?
I already have 2 old style PSPs, and there's nothing wrong with them. $ony's just trying to give people a reason to give up homebrew. What good is TV out if you still have to use the PSP as the controller?
At least with the $120 PSP2TV mod kit you can plug a PS2 controller into your PSP and use it like a console.
I will be back soon..........
WTF, the TV out only uses the native 480x272 (or whatever it is..) on TV, with borders. Thats seriously horrible. Why would someone plug their PSP into their TV just to get the same size on the TV?
