It's Official: 2.81 Out Now

Posted Sep 7, 2006 at 3:23AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: News Tags: DevHook, Japan, memory stick, Memory Stick Pro Duo, Sony

You can now lay all your speculations to rest. Sony has just released firmware 2.81. The update was made on September 7, 2006 (as some pointed out, it's ironically just right after the 2.80 Decrypter was made available) and YourPSP says the system software update included a patch that would address vulnerability in the system software. Naturally, it includes all features contained in previous software versions.

Sony Japan's website lists down the Memory Stick related problems that they've fixed. Translation from the Sony Japan's website here are those updates.

With "ATRAC" files which have been protected in SonicStage and then saved to Memory Stick PRO Duo, the protection management data becomes corrupted, and become unable to be played back
Memory Stick PRO Duo media which have been formatted from either the PSP or a Memory Stick formatter are recognized as unformatted media when connecting the PSP to a PC with the USB cable

A bore so far? The clincher is this and we quote: "PSP systems with system software version 2.80 or earlier do not correctly recognise high-capacity Memory Stick Duo with more than 4GB of free (recordable) memory space." However, is this lure of bigger space enough to get people to upgrade?

If you ask us, all that Sony has done in the 2.81 release is that it has given us a choice. If you really, really and we mean really, need more than 4GB then by all means upgrade. YourPSP and Sony Japan is offering the download. Love your homebrew? Then don't.

Is it a good move by Sony? Well apparently not, cause we've just found out that the 2.80 decrypter works on 2.81. What good does that do for us? Well it could only mean that Sony's newest baby may soon be emulated via DevHook!

Thanks to everyone who took the extra time of tipping us about this update.

Maybe we should save some time for the retards, before they even post.

1)No this does not mean you can run an e-loader on 2.8(1)

2)No this has nothing to do with a downgrader for 2.8(1)

3)No this does not in any way help TA-082 users.

4)No there really is no point in using this upgrade, unless you have no interest in EVER running homebrew, because I'm going to bet that nobody's going to bother hacking 2.81. Still working on 2.0-2.71 and then maybe 2.8, and by then 3.0 will be out, and nobody will care about 2.81 anymore except the losers that where dumb enough to upgrade to it.

# Question to Nr. 10 — Guest 2006-09-07 06:31

If 8Gb is only recognized in 2.81, how do you intend to boot your 2.81 fw under devhook? From an 8Gb card which the 1.5 fw wouldn't recognize? Or would you switch cards whenever you boot your PSP?

# lol — Guest 2006-09-07 06:33

Sony give up this firmware is gonna get hacked in the end.......

# Sony — JaSo PsP 2006-09-07 06:33

Sony loose.... AGAIN *two fingers*

# lol sony got pwned instantly — Guest 2006-09-07 06:34

the 2.80 decrpyter works with .81, so it can be devhooked. lol

expect sony to release 2.82

# Guest 2006-09-07 06:36

Think about it...do you REALLY need to have 8GB right now? There isn't any need at this time for it unless you wanna have a lot of movies which would be the only benefit at this time.

# #12 — Guest 2006-09-07 06:36

I know that right now, as long as you have DH installed on both memory cards, you can change them around after booting into an emulated firmware, and it doesn't cause any issues. Should be the same if an updated DH comes out.

# lol — Guest 2006-09-07 06:37

look at there website lol....l

"Security

A Patch has been added to address securtiy vulerability in the system software"

Sony go ***** urself!

# LOL@!!! — Guest 2006-09-07 06:49

Sony is pwned again - 2.81 is decrypted!!!!

# what's the real reasons? — Guest 2006-09-07 07:05

first off sony doesn't even have anything in the market yet that is bigger than 4 gigs. the only real reason i think they updated to 2.81 is so people wouldn't be able to have homebrew.

# Guest 2006-09-07 07:08

Can anyone say "lame"?

# wow — Guest 2006-09-07 07:31

i feel stupid having a 2.8 but i am not goinmg to make that mistake again

# DEVELOPERS READ!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-09-07 07:35

DON'T AND I MEAN DON'T RELEASE OR MAKE ANY NEW EXPLOITS YOU FIND TO THE PUBLIC.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE SO OUR CHANCES OF 3.00 FIRMWARE EMULATION AND THE PHOTO EXPLOIT WORKING IN 3.00 ARE OVER.

IF YOU WAITED AND KEPT IT ALL HUSH HUSH THEN SONY WOULDN'T OF KNOWN ABOUT THESE EXPLOITS AND WE COULD OF HAD HOMEBREW RUNNING ON 3.00.

# Guest 2006-09-07 07:36

If you can't use homebrew do you really need to be able to access more than 4Gb.

# ^30 — Guest 2006-09-07 07:41

'If you can't use homebrew do you really need to be able to access more than 4Gb.'

yeh, LOADSA converted films, and when the official ps1 emulator is released all the roms for tht

# #29 — Guest 2006-09-07 07:47

Not if Booster emulates the NAND =D

# I think — Illegal Machine 2006-09-07 08:03

Whatever file that is which makes the MS able to see the 8 gb cards, can be taken out of the firmware, and flashed into the 1.5 firmware for all to love and enjoy

# hackers will always win — Guest 2006-09-07 08:11

no matter how much updates Sony put out,it will be hacked.the safest system is no system

2Pac

# 12 has good point — Guest 2006-09-07 08:14

that 8gb would be weird if you could only use it while emulating 2.8/2.81....

# @34 — Guest 2006-09-07 08:16

Please explain?

# Guest 2006-09-07 08:17

@12-read again..it looks like they didnt correctly reconigze memory sticks with more than 4GB, and from what i understand, they would only recognize 4 GB from a 8 GB ms....so you would just have to load devhook and fill everything in...and then have half of it not recognized back at 1.5....dont seems like to much of a trouble....

# Meh. — Bad Intentions 2006-09-07 08:19

The point of a bigger memory stick would be for more homebrew and ISOs. Otherwise it'd be fairly unused space for me.

# well,i dont know... — Guest 2006-09-07 08:19

my psp can now only play mp3s, i tried to upload some movies but it won't recognize it and i always use the psp max manager.damn those security. and faq!!!!! i already bought a 4gb stick. if only i could also hack... (*dreaming*)

# HAHAH! — Guest 2006-09-07 08:20

Now some retard are gonna upgrade and in a couple days,weeks or months when 2.80 will have just like 2.71 had last week.. they will cry and Beg for a downgrader!

Once again.. F-U SONY! why dont you guys stops making some *****ty upgrades.. you know it will always be hackable, proof? here's what you guys said before chrismas 2005..

"try to hack your 2.50/6 and you will brick it!" HAHAHA! look now retards!!!

1.50 for ever! and im a proudly user!

# NO DEMO!!!! — Guest 2006-09-07 08:26

NO UPDATE for me

# sony... — Guest 2006-09-07 08:42

sony is becoming rushed. release a new firmware the day after 2.80 decrypter is released? they must have had 2.81 in store for a long time. but they were so rushed that they didnt even bother to change the encryption on the psar file!

# I have updated my 2.80 to 2.81 — Guest 2006-09-07 08:43

I have updated my psp, there's nothing new to this update.

but, the Hello World exploit still works!!!

hopefully there will be an eloader soon.

;D

# hahah — Guest 2006-09-07 08:44

i *****ed sony's mom last night that is why they relisced this update lol who ever update's to 2.81 is soooooooo *****ing stupid it not even funny lol sony chill out i know i *****ed ur mom but chill goes lol hahahaha

# Screw you guys — Guest 2006-09-07 08:47

What are your guys problems, you keep acting like this sony wont make freaking upgrades and PSP Goes to hell which makes your PSP worthless..

Shameless idiots, Sony game you the PSP, atleast be happy it got hacked instead of saying yay sony sucks and practically asking sony to make a more hack proof firmware... You guys should be ashamed of your self

# 2.81 features — Guest 2006-09-07 08:50

The following features have been added:

- Revisions to strengthen security

...

That's all?

DO NOT UPGRADE

# me not gonna upgrade — Guest 2006-09-07 08:51

after what i've seen what the hackers can do to the "uncrackable" 2.7, i'm not even gonna think about upgrade my 2.8 psp. i know i have to wait for the downgrader for 2.8 (if there ever is one), but upgrade i will not do.

# JUST GIVE UP, SONY — Guest 2006-09-07 09:06

HOMEBREW'S HERE TO STAY

# Self important? — Guest 2006-09-07 09:06

Something that people fail to realize is that it’s Sony’s responsibility to release updates to fix ANY bugs that could possibly be used maliciously.

Homebrewers give themselves way too much credit.

These fixes are no different than a Windows update to fix a security vulnerability. They would be neglegent to their customers to NOT fix the problem. They really couldn’t care less if any 1.5er uses the upgrade or not.

And this release more than likely had absolutely nothing to do with the 2.8 decryption news, it's more than likely just a coincidence that it's the day after that news, and it just happens to be when it was ready to launch.

I would hardly say that Sony got owned. Find an exploit in 2.81 right off the bat, and then I'll agree that Sony got owned.

Just something to think about.

# upgraded — Guest 2006-09-07 09:10

IM GOING TO UPGRADE RIGHT NOW!! IM SURE HACKERS ARE GOING TO MAKE SOME DOWNGRADER TO 2.81 YAY!!!

# adsadasdasd — Guest 2006-09-07 09:19

i agree with 52. you guys think your the *****. sure theres 1 or 2 cool programs, but homebrew or so you call it sucks ass. they made the psp. they should get a *****load more credit than you guys give yourselves, and you owe it to them not to download isos. panzies.

# 4GB+ — Guest 2006-09-07 09:35

There are two main reasons sony released this update:

1 To fix the exploit (and it is fixed).

2 To prepare for the future Memory Sticks.

Are people not seeing the connection between this update and the upcoming download service?

This update enables the PSP to recognize sticks with more then 4GB capacity, but these sticks are not out yet. So that means we can expect sony to release sticks like 8GB, 16GB and 32 GB within some months. And why would people want those sticks you think? (maybe :) 1 word: PS1DOWNLADSERVICE! a playstation one game is around 350 MB so if you want around 15 games on your stick you'll need at least 5GB. So they are not really trying to make money with the upcoming PS1 service they will make money selling memory sticks. They probaly also don't even care if you should 'illegally' download ps1 games because more games equals more space needed. And according to some calculations I did they will earn even more money selling sticks then selling ps1 games for like 5$, heck if they would release the games for free they would make a fortune of people buying large sticks.

BTW 32GB is the max of Memory Stick Pro Duo.

just: Atri@pspimages.net

# re — Guest 2006-09-07 09:45

even if 2.81 is release dond evhook it wont allow you to use homebrew with more than 4 gb data anyway casue you need to be on 1.5 to load homebrew.

# .. — Guest 2006-09-07 10:08

55..ur right about the download..

sony had the memory allocation update sorted long ago imo, w8ing 2 use it as an excuse to update...

"And why would people want those sticks you think? (maybe :) 1 word: PS1DOWNLADSERVICE"

lol...1 word:ISOS

*puts on flameproof jacket*

not sure about this but if i had an 8gb stick and used a memory read to put on a new version of devhook ( if there will be one) that can emulate 2.81. i don't think it would have a problem opening it, i think it may have problems writing etc thou...had devices with problems like that in the past...at worst u can just fill it up so theres not 2 much free space.

# #56/59/etc. — Guest 2006-09-07 10:24

It's called switch the memory stick after booting.

Heck you'd finally have a use for that 32MB stick (unless devhook becomes too big with the new updates, but it fits on there now).

Throw nothing but devhook on there, use it to boot into 2.81, then once in 2.81, swap it out and throw in your 8GB stick. Not so difficult, just need to make sure that Devhook is also on the 8GB stick. Gonna need a card reader.

# to 54 — Guest 2006-09-07 12:10

hey nice to meet you now shut up.

i agree with how you say that we should be grateful for sony making psp.

but you are OBVIOSLY rich or somethin to ignore the fact that you can have AS MANY FREE *****ING GAMES THAT YOU WANT! I am poor and i enjoy the fact that i have access to free games i would have NEVER played because i dont have money like that to throw around.

but on the other hand, good for you that you do so well for yourself and make good income.

or even on another hand, you could just be another teenage prick whos trying to be cool by doing "the right thing"

GO TO HELL. that goes the same for all the rest of you *****s who say that we should not download iso's.

# lol updates — Jumpin Jehosaphat 2006-09-07 12:11

it almost makes you wonder if one or two Sony guys are intentionally leaving some sort of back door open for homebrewers to find with these updates. there will always be a way.

# To 72. — Guest 2006-09-07 12:19

If you're so poor and can't afford to buy the games, why the hell did you bother to even buy a PSP in the first place?

Everybody who downloads ISOs of games that they do not own is a pirate. Simple as that. If you download ISOs, good for you. Just don't try to justify your actions with stupid excuses.

# o0 — chickdigger802 2006-09-07 12:40

haha sony got ownz0red again... and i seriously doubt ppl who dont want homebrew would need anything over 4gig.. i have like $30 1gig stick and im happy with it, i can run all psp games out on it (must rip some but w/e). I want 3.0 firmware, i want gran turismo portable.. speaking of, when the new psp version comes out next year, can i use my bestbuy warrantee on my psp to get that?

# 2.81 — Guest 2006-09-07 12:41

if there is a down grader for this it may be the last because if you upgrade higher or to a 2.81 when you have a 2.8 then you are a *****ing dumb ass because 2.71 was known to be the undowngraded firm wear and a dark alex has found a jpg. photo what runs a home brew. so dont up grade even if you have a 2.8 YOUR NOT SCREWED YET! DOWN GRADE PROGRAMERS LIKE ME ARE WORKING ON IT. SO IF YOU UPGRADE YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT OR YOU MAY NEVER GET A DOWN GRADER.

# ISO VS UMD — Guest 2006-09-07 12:45

To 74, not everyone who downloads ISO is a pirate as you say. I personally own 6 PSP games, and have them all on ISO as well.

The reasons:

- ISO use less battery (the umd access takes more battery than powering the memory card)

- ISO take no space (UMD x 6 is a lot, 1 card = nothing)

- ISO are like backups (You can't scratch ISO - can't really steal them)

I also would like the latest 2.8+ firmware because it allows to use video files without renaming them to their stupid name format.

All in all I am happy with the development that they can decrypt this.

# #72 owned :P — Guest 2006-09-07 12:47

# To 78. — Guest 2006-09-07 12:56

If you look at my comment, you'll see that I was referring to those who download ISOs, but don't own the original game.

# @78 — Guest 2006-09-07 12:58

Yeah but poster 72 actually said he needs ISOs because he can't afford to buy all the games so he's a pirater :(

# to 78&82 — Guest 2006-09-07 13:03

Maybe my comment was not clear:

"not everyone is a pirate as you say."

I meant that you are saying that not everyone is a pirate, and then I go on to say why there are good uses for it. We basically are saying the same thing.

# Sorry. — Guest 2006-09-07 13:06

# short description — Guest 2006-09-07 13:16

everyone who downloads isos is a pirate.

everyone who backs up isos and uses it is not.

sure there expensive, but you dont have to disrespect the company who makes the psp. sony doesnt determine umd prices. the software devs decide how much they want to sell their own games for. sony releases the single greatest handheld device ever to hit shelves, and here you guys exploit the ***** out of it and then make fun of sony. i dont see you makin any of these. sony is tryin to protect the psp from downfall and corruption, maybe its a mistake blocking out whatever homebrew you like, but its protection from the "dreamcast". im a 1.5 user and i have isos of my own games which i do own because i respect the games that they make, im not a fatass obese american who sits on his ass all day complaining about how bad ***** is, i dont see you makin anything better either. and if you cant afford psp games, then you cant afford a psp. your obviously 12 then. get a job.

# it's not working — Guest 2006-09-07 13:27

it wont work says corrupted

# Same crap — Guest 2006-09-07 13:40

I'm hearing the same crap once again from everyone in the homebrew scene. Every time there is an update, the same lies and misinformation is spewed...

"Don't upgrade. You won't be able to run homebrew." Didn't a decrypter for 2.80 just get released??? Sony keeps updating and you keep hacking. Just upgrade and wait a few weeks for the next hack.

"Sony just releases updates to kill homebrew." Huh. If you can write homebrew to exploit a hole, then can't malicious software ALSO be written to exploit it??? If Microsoft knew about a hole but just left it open, you'd slam them. But if Sony knows about a hole and fixes it, they are a bad guy. Someday a virus will be written that bricks your PSP because you are using an older version of the firmware. When that happens, don't complain to Sony about weak security in their OS.

"There are no new features worth having." Fine. Personally, I've found the downloadable game demos, net browsing, rss feeds, etc. quite enjoyable. Looking forward to the GPS system and LocationFree player when I get my PS3.

Looking forward to 3.0

# haha — drmadcow 2006-09-07 14:13

Sony is just gonna release another patch once devhook starts emulating 2.81 but oh well its how it goes I guess..

They made this 2.81 I think so that ppl who buy new or used psps will go to Sony's update site first thing and upgrade it to the newer version then kick themselves when they find out all about homebrew,ISOs,e tc.

Anyways I ain't probally ever gonna buy a PSP game agian. If I got $50 I'll spend it on another MS or a good bag of pot instead!

Sony ain't hurting from us 5% of psp owners who actually use ISO's and don't own the UMD...

# 85 — jaydogg691 2006-09-07 14:43

It's good to hear that people actually apreciate the things they buy. All these homebew guys have no respect for the company that gave them the system to do all this stuff. Everyone knows that Sony is realeases updates to increase the security for the PSP and add little updates to the system, but you guys don't always have to bash Sony for doing that. And you homebrewers know that you shouldn't update if you want to countinue doing the things you are doing. Sony isn't forcing you to update your PSP's, but you bash them like they are. If you don't like Sony, I don't know why you guys buy thier products.

# Guest 2006-09-07 14:46

i hope this devhook comes it would kik ass:D

# to # 92 — Guest 2006-09-07 16:30

What do you mean sony isn't forcing us to update are you even thinking... Why would they even make the update!!! Every game that is new, that will come out will force you to upgrade or not play them. Every firmware update is bad news IMO. Why do you think they are holding off GTA VCS or the much anticipated psone emulator it's because every firmware keeps getting hacked. I wonder how long will this go on, I mean I don't care about homebrew and stuff im on 1.5 all im waiting for is the ps1 emulator after it comes out im gonna buy me a new psp

# Firmware 2.81 — Guest 2006-09-07 16:42

I mean, sure, Sony is trying to stop exploiting and getting people to upgrade. Theyre doing it for YOU, because you cant block iso's without blocking homebrew. Sony is trying to stop the downfall of the PSP. If everyone keeps pirating, then there would be no point in making games for the PSP. Then how are you gonna download iso's? Im a proud 1.5 user, and I do use iso's, but there the games I have. I dont like switching UMD's (my UMD drive door wont even open without a knife) so its perfectly legal to play iso's of games you already have. For instance, I have VCS pre-ordered, but once I get it, ill probably look for an ISO of it and store it somewhere safe. All im trying to say, if everyone keeps pirating, what else will there be to pirate? kthxbye lolz

# JUST A THOUGHT — macatack 2006-09-07 17:03

but surely sony COULD stop the iso loaders and still let the homebrew scene in on the action..... if they put in as much effort as they do at stopping everything you CAN do with it

(all it takes is a little help from the guys they keep suing)

but "I THINK" they dont like the money being out of there hands....pity cos theres soooooo many great programers out there they need to employ.

i mean is it just me ive said it before is sony geting really lazy with ther updates? and if its to the point where a update is allready cracked before the us version comes out sony should just really give up on blocking homebrew and just alow i mean wats so bad about them allowing it aslong as they can block the iso loaders?

# to szzt — Guest 2006-09-07 19:15

the point i was tryin to get across was not just what the one guy said, but what other people say about iso downloaders (have you read comment sections on devhook realeases?)

anyway,

i hella got OWNED bizatch #!@%^$

Wasnt the PS1 emulator supposed to be coming out around this time? I think a ps1 emulator would just slightly outweigh the greatness of "revised security issues". Don't you wish sony actually listened to what you had to say? Crap games and crap prices (especially UMD movies and sized-down game ports) and they try to stop the few things that actually save this near waste of 200 dollars. Rediculous.

Well riddle me this...what if someone had figured out a way to sign their own apps? Now there's the real challenge!

The only reason in the first place tryed to prevent user created software to be played on the PSP is so we would not hit a piracy problem. But this has already occured, but now we are trying to prevent further customers resorting to homebrew.

if devhook can emulate it, the a downgrader shouldn't be far?

# Guest 2006-09-08 09:12

pwned again! sony noobs

# Well no *****. — Guest 2006-09-08 09:42

For everyone saying, "Quit making fun of Sony! They brought you the PSP!" When I make fun of Sony, it's because they're being dumbasses such as these updates. I'm not saying, "Oh man ***** the PSP." I'm saying ***** Sony. And yes, quite a large difference. I think the PSP is awesome, when I get free *****. Sony is just making themselves look idiotic, who do they think they're fooling? Everyone knows damn well these updates are here to stop exploits and right now that is it. "Omg larger GB sticks!" Wow, sweet. If you can't use homebrew, do you really need 8 gigs of space? Sony is just pissed because they messed up and now they're trying to quickly cover their screw-ups with patches, if they wouldn't of done ***** like this in the first place, they wouldn't have to worry about piracy. We bought our PSP's, we'll do what we damn well please with them. I forget who said something along the lines of their car can go 120MPH, they're not allowed to drive that fast but their car can do it anyway, which is exactly how the PSP is, if the system is capable of such things, then it's fair game.

i hope the psp can emulate 2.8 or 2.81 in time for gta: vice city stories.... Assuming that it will contain a 2.8/2.81 update.

# whats next firmware 2.99999999999999 — Guest 2006-09-17 06:26

Can sony just release 3.0 so we can run devI mean upgrade.

# Guest 2006-09-17 08:31

Garbage !!!

# Guest 2006-09-25 14:55

I feel that Sony is trying to pace the psp development. If Sony were to release something that can endanger the system (like homebrews and downgraders) like the hackers, more and more people will get bricked PSPs...u know what that means...

But if they have a better development team, they should be coming up wif more playable/downloadable games for us...more demos for example...it took them so long to release GOOD firmwares and free add-ons.

# psp 2.81-1.5 downgrader — Guest 2006-09-29 14:30
