*UPDATE* Playstation 3 Firmware 1.80 is OUT; hello to PS1, PS2, DVD upscaling and remote play, among others |
Ó
Just a few hours before May 24 and guess what decided to spook everyone on the PlayStation Network? Apparently, the latest PS3 v1.80 Firmware is now out. Thanks to JollyRoger, Saint21, and salimdao for giving us a heads up.Just a while ago, JollyRoger dropped us a line, saying:
Hi guys, its about 9:15pm here in phoenix and still wednesday, buy 1.80 just came out and I'm downloading it now, so let everyone know, LAter!
Saint21, meanwhile, confirmed a couple of details for us:
What was mentioned earlier is true. When it comes to dvd upscaling, some dvd's wouldn't upconvert through component or d-terminal. You can zoom in Photo as well as trim. New slide show created.
Right now, we're still downloading the firmware and there's still no sign of any changelog. We'll keep you guys updated though - we're just kept in suspended animation as we wait for the update to finish... Right now, we just wanted to let you guys know about its availability. So get a-downloading, folks!
UPDATE: Cool beans. Our download's finished and I made sure to write down the list of features that FW 1.80 will give you. I've reproduced them below, word for word. Check them out:
- You can now upscale the video content of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 format software to HD resolution.
- You can now copy saved data from PlayStation and PlayStation2 format software to a memory card or memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2) using a memory card adaptor.
- You can now upscale video content of DVDs to HD resolution. However, some DVDs cannot be upconverted when outputting through component or D-Terminal connectors.
- Support has been added to allow remote play over the Internet.
- You can now display image files and play music and video files that are saved on a remote device with server functionality (such as a PC or digital video recorder) over a network.
- Support for a print function has been added under [Photo]. For more information on supported printers, refer to the SCE Web site for your region.
- Support for zoom and trimming has been added under [Photo].
- A new type of slideshow has been added as a feature under [Photo].

you can print photos from supported printers
you can access files from your computer (music, photos, movies)
you can upscale DVDs to 1080p/24Hz
you can upscale PS1/PS2 games to 1080p/24Hz
you can access RemotePlay from your psp online (anywhere in the world)
and one thing that Sony forgot to note in the changelog. There are two new settings under Video Settings that allow you to enable Super-White color on Y/Pb/Pr HDMI connections, as well as Full color on RGB HDMI connections. I enabled these and I started seeing colors that I haven't even seen before! Just kidding, but there is definitely a noticeable difference in color when these settings are enabled.

Another question I was wondering was how do you get the whole PlayStation Store to be displayed, when I have it under 480p it only displays the newly released stuff, but when i put in 1080i, it shows the whole Store including the sidebar, is there a way to view the whole Store once it starts up without readjusting my screen resolution?

my only wish for the PS3 was RGB through component. so i can use my 1920x1440 pc monitor without buying those hard to find Component to VGA transcoders.

and i just wanna know...does anybody else have problems with windows media player 11
meaning its too glitchy to function - freezes up alot
because the connection made from the ps3 to your pc goes right through windows media player and it seems that if one has a problem the other does too

Where you are missing the big picture is that I now have a nice server-client relationship between them. All I need is an AC outlet and a TV and I can stream video anywhere in the house. Even outside if I so choose. Why can I do this? It's simple, my PS3 also has built in wireless so I am not even limited by a wired network. TV, PS3, and an extension cord means video on demand anywhere that I want it.
This system was made for those with creative uses for it. It was made by forward thinkers for forward thinkers.

Try hitting your PS button to exit the game now. It's crystal clear and in HD! You most likely don't even have a PS3 because every single BC game that I put in looked better. They don't look like a PS3 game because they are not PS3 games. Be realistic about it! It stopped stretching when you turned on scaling. The difference now is the aspect ratio has changed because HD is widescreen and SD is not.
Why are all the losers that say that it sucks, ALWAYS UNREGISTERED. Could they be Xbots in disguise?

I downloaded this update yesterday night (around 11 PM). Immediately on restarting the PS3, it listed my laptop as a Media Server in the Photos/Music/Video section. However, when I try to open my laptop through the PS3 (by clicking on the 'X' button in the Controller (and "OK" button in the PS3 remote control), I get this message "Access to Media Server is not allowed. It is possible your PS3 'NAME' has not been registered. Check the settings for the media server." I even set up a rule in my Firewall (even though it wasn't necessary before this) which basically set my PS3's IP address as a Trusted site. However, I'm still not able to able to access the Laptop content through my PS3.
Any help in this area would be appreciated.

Remember, it's sony you're dealing with. I know what to expect because I have a PSP and I never updated it from 1.5!

I believe you could also use the Zune Software as it is also the same procedure for the Xbox 360 setup. I also heard Nero Home should also work.

Then go back to the PS3 and re-search for your server. This time you should be able to see and access the files.
Bear in mind that you are limited in file types, mp3, mpeg and so on. WMVs and Divx haven't played for me so far.

1: When you have more than one window open in the internet browser you can see edges of the windows to the immediate left and right of the one you are viewing
2. More cool visualizations have been added to the music player
3. When you zoom in on an internet page (R3 I think) you can now use the L2 and R2 buttons to zoom in further

Not like I didnt see that coming, but still, are they so closedminded that they can't even give the PS3 a Kudos where it's deserved??

You can feel the release date for Home getting closer, since these streaming and scaling functions will be critical to some of the features they showed off in the demo video..

This means i don't gotta fire up my old junker computer for those things. Just because you won't bother to get off your ass and make some money for one (I'm 15, worked my ass off for mine) doesn't mean you need to ***** and moan online about it.
M$ just released Vista, and what features does it have? Mmmmostly things Macs have had for years.
