Tales of VS also requires OFW 5.55

The PSP version of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra won't be the only title that requires the elusive OFW 5.55. Adding to that list is the Namco Bandai Tales-fest, Tales of VS. PSP-ITA posted a screencap of the game's specs to prove it, so if the Joes can't get you to upgrade, then perhaps this one will.

We can expect more PSP titles to swing the 5.55 way, it seems. The list gets longer, so let's just hope that the gods of hack-Olympus bring their blessings down when the time comes.

Sony doesn't make Tales. Namco does.

And this isn't mission based like the Radiant Mythology games, although those two games were badass.

This one is based on other Tales characters against each other in a sortof fighting game. Since Tales is basically like a fighting game even when playing the regular titles. This game is going to be extremely badass. Go look it up.

Also. Isn't Dissidia releasing in the US as 5.55? I think that's what the demo was according to a friend of mine.

No, the Dissidia demo works fine on 5.00M33.

This 5.55 crap is discouraging though. Thankfully, I'm preordering Dissidia, and I'll play it on OFW, and then just Pandora downgrade to do anything else. It'll be a hassle, but it'll have to suffice until an upgrade comes out.

# there is one thing you guys are missing — shanky887614 2009-08-06 20:30

there is a plugin to fake your firmware so you can do this or just flash parts from the letest firmware

you could allways rip to pc and play the iso on psp becasue you can rip out extra's and by doing this we can bypass the protection with a couple plugins (idont know if the current still work)

Gosh, Glenn you are right..

I will go and upgrade to OFW 5.55 right now.

Then I will go and cut my own balls off and put them in the microwave for lunch lol.

"Yes because it's Sony making the Tales games...

Idiot."

Yeah, you do realize that Sony is the one forcing the OFW 5.55. That's the reason I mentioned Sony. Idiot.

And Dissidia will suck, too. Fighting games are garbage, especially on the PSP. This one will be no different since it is traying too far from it's roots as a Tales of series.

# oh yeah! — RaphaelDDL 2009-08-07 01:37

"there is a plugin to fake your firmware so you can do this or just flash parts from the letest firmware"

I though i was the only one that remembered that had this plugin >_>

Everyone 'omg updates' but i think that the plugin will come handy.

UNLESS the game requires an unknown file from OFW 5.55 to boot.

# well... — Asskickulater 2009-08-07 10:14

there actually is a protection that those plugins can't bypass, but I don't think these use it, lol (read about the evangelion game)

# what? — LeXiO 2009-08-07 18:00

It doesn't matter whether Sony forces 5.55 or not. Yeah, screw Sony for wanting to stop piracy, seriously. It's always a pirater who complains.

It's a good thing Sony forces 5.55, that in one way, helps gamers get games they would really want legitimately. Also, in case you haven't noticed, but Dissidia is doing quite well in terms of sales. Though it hasn't reached to 1mil mark yet...not that many games have on the PSP. It hasn't been a year yet, but I'm 100% sure that by the time it reaches it's one year mark since it's release, Dissidia sales would be well over 1mil. Also, look at Tekken, in case you haven't noticed either, Tekken is one of the best portable, if not, the best, portable fighting game there is atm. With the soon to be release Soul Caliber and Tekken 6 games, I'd say the fighting games on the PSP some of the best the system, and the gaming industry has to offer.

SF Alpha 3 on PSP is arguably the best iteration of the game on a home console - more characters and modes than any other version and it plays like a dream. Naruto ain't bad either.

WHat I may well do is just pick up another PSP and use that for official releases. Given that I can emulate anything I care about (mostly CPS2 and SNES games) on CFW, I'm not willing to give it up. I'm sure Sony have thought of this and are rubbing their hands at the prospect of selling more Go! units, but since 20 of the 42 games I own are imported, I'll go for a 3000, as I'm sure will many others.

A 5.5CFW would be a nice fix, but DAX has earned a rest I think.

# 3000 users — slacker1987 2009-08-07 20:54

The only ones really being left out are 3000 users. People on older 2000's and 1000's can upgrade to play these games from the UMD (Although it's slow as hell), and then just Pandora themselves back to CFW to do anything else.

3000 users can't downgrade at all... so, I wouldn't want to be a 3000 user and a Final Fantasy fan! lol

I thought QJ.NET was against piracy...

BEST POST OF THE DAY!

Tekken isn't the best fighting game, are you insane? SF Alpha 3 is.

Damn kids.
