*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].

better fire up the brute and get this download
This is awesome! Now the PS3 can do things, my TV cant... Upscaling a DVD to 1080p... and you know what? We only need an HDMI-cable for it! Muahahahaaar nice update!
its at 58%,ill let yall know if anything on my ps3 gets fcked up due 2 the update
Got it, its freakin, awsome.....GT4 and ff12 and god of war 2 look aaaawwwwwwsome.
omg you guys 1.8 is the answer to all our prayers. here is my noted changelog:
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.
media servers, movie streaming, new photo slide show, trimming feature, can save PS/PS2 games back to memory cards now via the adapter, remote play via hotspots (PSP/Laptop/etc) and even virtual keyboard enhancements.
finally people like me with 1080i max resolution, i can now watch my blu-ray movies in 720p without having it downscale to 480 muahahahahahaa
allows you to edit the name/title of your media files by accessing the information option... I can finally rename those damn long filenames from PSN!!!
change the icon for your media files and folders to an image on your HDD.
i keep getting a download error at 32%, any ideas?
Does it play WMV ???
Im using the 360 right now for streaming wmv HD movies but because the console sounds like a jetfighter landing id like to stream it to the ps3.
Just got my update. Enabled full color and super white and Tekken 5 DR looks astounding! Almost as good as a real ps3 game. Make sure you guys turn these settings on. Also, remote play works like a charm. I haven't gotten a chance to test the upscaling other than on FF12 and it looks marginally better than before. All in all, this is an amazing update.
Keep trying or just wait till it's up on the playstation site to download.
With this and the Sony Game Days announcements you've restored my faith in your product.
Bless you, Sony. Bless you.
havent got the update yet, can anyone upload the file. Jap system
man i was actually drinking coke when i read that!!! now my desk is all messy!!
Quite honestly I downloaded the update to upscale my ps2 games. And the first thing I did was fire up KH and once inside the game behold. More stretch marks and alasing than a pregnant belly... Ok the dvd upscale works ok. But seriously Sony is losing my interest with every promise they break. Just so we are clear here. Stretching is not the same as scaling. Let the nerdy fanboy flaming begin.
just want you to describe clearly what disappointed you other than say "more stretch marks and alasing than a pregnant belly" if it is true and not just another bashing...
Just downloaded the update on the 23rd at night and it worked fine. The media streaming worked with the public folders only, not the folder you created as shared, that can be seen between computers. Will test the dvd and hdmi upscaler tomorrow.
Going good.
lol! thats damn funny
Can't wait to see 2.0
.... at least they *offer* game scaling. Now I don't have to pay for a $120 external device from play-asia to do that. And quit whining, it's a free update!
i tested killzone and my tv was displaying the game at 1920x1080/50hz
btw how do u stream video from a pc to the ps3? i got a mac tho.
having problems getting the media streaming to work.. I can see the files, but cant play them.. anyone have some tips or a guide they can share?
where is the access to XMB while in game for fu-ck sake. FU-CK YOU ONCE AGAIN SONY!
Ive been doing that since 1.70...?
System Update 2.00 will include that.
Shows up as Unsupported Data.
or is this firmware faster to download the 1.6 and 1.7???
just caught me by surprise that's all... tried it... FFXII and GOW2 looks excellent and i grabbed the first dvd i could from my stack (which happened to be Blade Trinity) and yup my 1080p bravia is now my wife.
don't have a psp though... never had a thing for handhelds..
cant u fooking wait?
that is comeing with the 2.0 update and 2day we r at 1.8
what do you have to do to see them?
shut up you f0cking xbot
did it scale my ps2 games to a regular tv screen when i have widescreen?
eh?
how to fix?
Just go to the game option and were it says ps1/ps2 upscaling, choose the option that says "stretch".
well thats why...i was getting confused by "full screen" = stretch
thx
so has anyone figured out how to pass media files through the pc to ps3?
Halle-*****ing-luja! About time
Not sure if it was able to do before, but I noticed that when you are under Music or Photo, if you press square you can organize your music by different categories. I wonder if you would be able to have access to your pc through the media servers during remote play?
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?
uhm Sony you forgot ME.
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.
iv been doin that since like firmware 1.0
found another new add-on
u can now pause and resume your downloads that are downloading in the background
is it just me or does the connection time it takes to connect to my pc is just long for files...
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
WMV, thats interesting because if you wasnt such an idiot you would know(if you actually had a 360) the 360 is quiet when doing anything other than playing games, made yourself look a bit foolish there eh..
I agree about the stretching it looks horrible so please stop making out its something special because when I read these posts and downloaded the firmware I was more than a bit disappointed with it so please stick to FACTS and not just trying to hype..
You got to be *****ting me!
But in the meantime we still have no decent games coming out this year and next year what are they, they are old revamped PS1 games, get some ORIGINAL games out now not wait another year for old titles that have been updated..
Well looking at AuDioFreaK39 list I would like to welcome you all to the world of my PC which has been doing all this and a million times more for Years, I thought this was meant to be a games machine not a film player and photo printer.
isnt that much better, you can still notice the lines, ffxii gives you a small window-i.e not full screen.ffx is fine full screen but their are some noticable lines but its definetly more playable now
The updates for the PSP were better than this s*it!
found another new add-on its in the audio device settings and it says
" Connect (Bluetooth®) "
another new thing i found is that socom 3 now works with 1.8.
it worked with 1.6 then in 1.7 it didnt work and now in 1.8 it works and it works well online. no lag or slow down ect ect
really happy with the update
Oh boy... After an hour or two trying to get the UpnP working on my router I have hit another brick wall.
My PS3 now says "Access to Media Server is not allowed. It is possible my PS3 'NAME' has not been registered. Check the settings for teh media server."
WTF?
Can someone please put this into Newbie English please.
:)
You probably never saw the PS3 in real-life.
That ***** is completely silent, only a nice queit humming...
The 360 is like a *****ing turbocharged vibrator on max RPM's
They also added a little lime green line like on computers when entering text.
You are so narrow minded! We all have PC's already! We have had them for years. Mine even happens to be an HTPC. That is not what this update is about.
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.
That means that the PS3 couldn't connect to the media server. What media server were you using?
Sony you have regain some respect of myself. You have really redeemed yourself with this, now... if you get that 2.00 update up and running soon we'll be on good speaking terms.
HELOOOO!!!!! THE 2.0 UPDATE IS A RUMOR AND THEY SAID THAT IT WOULDNT BE THAT CHANGELOG!!!!
I've been doin that before I even got a PS3
Yeah how do you even see them mine says there are none in the area but my laptop is in the other room.
Any one try the new Remote play I only have my wireless to try it on and know one around has wireless.
It was stretching a 640x480 signal before! That is why when you hit the PS button everything was big, blurry, fuzzy, and nasty.
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 go this problem too. I just allowed sharing in Windows Media Player for the PS3 and it then picked up all my shared media folders
hmm I think you sir are stupid.

why am i reading post ive gotta update my ps3 g2g bye
Downloading now. Upscaling. YES!!!!! WOOHOO!
U jus dont hav a ps3 so da first thing u state when a ps3 video /update u say it sucks. So go play your xbox
Hi Guys,
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.
Regards,
MTK
Your TV must be HD to display true 1080p quality....
System update 2.0 was fake. Probably a rumor started by a desperate PS3 owner wishing the PS3 had the features the 360 had for over a year. Also, the PS3's "scaler" sucks because it's just a linear stretcher.
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!
have you changed the settings in your windows media player. thats what u need to do
The eaisest way i know how to do this is through Windows Media Player, but you have to upgrade to version 11. Once you have this, go to the options menu and select the "library" tab. Under this tab, click on "configure sharing" and turn sharing on. After this is on, do a search on your PS3 again and it should find your PC. But your PC will first ask for permission to either give access or deny the incoming connection from the PS3, so accept the connection through your PC and it should then found by your PS3.
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.
PSN: SolidSnake5986
Under Windows Media Player make sure that you are sharing your media, and that the "unknown device" has been granted access to all your files.
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.
Also included in the update that was not in the changelog are:
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
The jealousy is so blatant in your posts now...especially when the "facts" you spew over the past few weeks start disappearing every day. I knew it would just be a short time before you would try and struggle at saying something to negate anything good that Sony does for it's customers as compared to other companies you support....
aspect ratio and resolution are 2 difrent things dumb ass if the streching bothers you turn ps1/2 upscaler to normal aspect ratio fortunately most off the ps2 games i want to play have a 16:9 setting
when you make reactionary coments about something you dont know about you sound like a E-jackass
or SPR?
To "MrAdept" and "bj"
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm at work right now, but will try them out as soon as I get back home.
Thanks again!

Did u enable the upscale for ps1/ps2 Games? Because u have to enable after updating firmware.
This function will not be totally available until the next update for PSP. Which they say will be available at end of May.
Ok the first part of question was available before update. Second part, Im totally lost why are u scaling down your screen to 480p or why would u even want to scale down an HD TV.
omg, so everytime i played a blu-ray disc on my 1080i TV it just played in 720i????
Thats awesome 1080p for all , you all still play your old games?? i stick to new stuff or oldies but goldies that are multiplayer .
i play killzone and i bought socom ca 2day
What is that?
omg, so everytime i played a blu-ray disc on my 1080i TV it just played in 720i????
so when i upscale a DVD am i just playing it in 720i because i dont have a 1080p TV?
the xbots are monitoring our every activity
Thanks for the recognition QJ. and sorry about my typing, I was in a bit of a hurry!
yes! thank you sony. now i can finally take my ps and ps2 saves from my harddrive that i got from my memory card and adaptor and update my memory card later for playing on a friends ps2 without using old data. hooray, i hated tha you couldnt transfer it back :/
Do what homeboy said above in regards to media player. mines worked after that
So the Fanboys are even bashing the 1.80 update??
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??
Interesting to see scaling features added, especially with all the claims made by supposed experts that PS3 would never be able to do scaling. I'm sure you remember all the bragging and strutting Microsoft did about their HANA chip.
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..
I built a component to vga adapter just for the occasion! Kinda stupid that PS2 can do it and not ps3. Whar is my rgb through component?
Since there is no such thing as 720i..
you completely miss the point. It already plays games, and in case you didn't pay attention, sony has ALWAYS meant for it to do more than just games. Of course they're gonna add new features, and some of them overlap with what PCs can do.
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.
Get TVersity, I've heard it can transcode and stream to ps3 in real time. Probably need a beast of a computer though.
How do you know? You obviously don't have a ps3 judging by your comments.
well hello troll, firmwire update 2,0 is not a rumor. But it was revealed TOO early, and that is all.
firmwire update 2,00 will be coming out during these next 2 months so gtfo.
Okay, now where is the custom background support, Sony? If the PSP can do it, why can't the PS3?
didnt read other posts but blu ray movies now play in 720p and the ps2 game God of War scales to 720p perfectly.
ZZZ too *****ing sexy.
this is all I need.
DO YOU REALIZE HOW FLAWLESS NICOLE KIDMAN'S ASS LOOKS IN EYES WIDE SHUT!?!?
why haven't I got the update yet ?
can anyone help me please -___- ?.....
it's been two days now....
HELP...!
Is there anything esle I can use other than that I have a hack version of XP so 11 won't work on mine cause of "vaildation issue"
@tyutyu listen you assf*** if you would have had both consoles you would hear the difference so STFU..
The 360 compared to the ps3 still sounds like a ***ing heardryer. (to bad the fans are on the back or else my gf could use it every morning).
*****ing hell, no need to be ignorant, you knew what the guy meant for *****s sake...
HE MEANS 720p... now answer the guy properly
His TV is HD 1080p but he doesnt have a HDMI Cable to view 1080p video's...
LOLZ
By gf you dont mean girlfriend do you?...I didnt think gamer types were allowed to have girlfriends. You traitor....ok, so im jealous. Although, with my 6.5 gigs of porn now gloriously displayed in 1080 on my GE HD 42", I honestly can say I'm gettin' along just fine. Out of tissues though. ...Hey, as soon as PSHome comes out, I'll just find me a cyber PS3 girl. :)
like on the xbox 360 you can add you r own music into games but i can't find a way todo it on the ps3
Has anyone else had FF XII freeze after installing 1.80? I've found two places that it happens so far. First is when you go to make a sunstone and you are given the mission to find the boy. After talking to Masyua the screen goes black as if to load the town again, and the music keeps going but the screen never comes back. Second is after beating the Mimic Queen, and trying to exit Terminus No.4 Adjunct. The same error occurs. Seeing as how the only thing that has changed in the last couple days has been the firmware and this is a new error. I'm inclined to believe it's the cause. Both are crucials story locations, and not being able to pass them effectively blocks any further progress. (Note: I encountered The Mimic Queen error after loading a save file, I did not in fact find a work around to the earlier situation.) I've tried saving in different spots, entering and exiting the affected areas, even entering through another pathway (The Giza Plains example.) and I still encounter the same error.
Thanks,
Lila
I had the 1.70 system on my PS3 and i could play all my PS2 games fine but now that i upgraded to 1.80 my guitar hero game dosnt work! Can someone help me out?
