After being spotted at Sony PSP's South Korean website, the newest PSP firmware, FW 3.40, has now made its way to the Japanese PlayStation site. So far, the U.S. PlayStation site hasn't updated its System Software Update section, but trust us when we say that we will keep you posted.

As to what's new this time around, we are still not sure. But nonetheless, we'll still share with you the info generated through an online translation engine. Here's they are:

PLAYSTATION Network title performance in order to play was strengthened.
PlayStation standard software PSP and PS3 being both, you can use the saving dataIt became the way.
As for download of the PlayStation standard software which corresponds to PS3, from April 26th at PLAYSTATION®Store it is the schedule which is started.
[License management] was deleted.
In [you can verify the information which is indicated license management], with the following operation.

Choosing the idea contest of the game where we would like to make information indicate pushing the △ button, [Information] is chosen from the option menu.

Pretty much the same as what we have reported earlier. Surely in a few hours, the U.S. PlayStation site would be updated - and that means we'll have a better understanding of what's new with firmware 3.40. Feel free to check out the PlayStation Japan site by clicking on our link below.

Update: Tipster whoelse led us to the PlayStation US Boards to show us what the boards' admin assistant Ascalon's post had about the new firmware for the PSPs. There wasn't anything yet on a U.S. release of the FW, but we did manage to get something about some changes in the 3.40 FW update:

Support for PLAYSTATION®Network titles has been expanded.
The method of managing certificates under [Game] has been changed.

These are all we have of the new firmware, but we'll let you know once we get more news. So stick around.

wow already 3.40 lol

Re: Antonio (Unregistered) - 2007-04-19

» 3.40oe not nessessary

i hope D_A doesnt decide to make 3.40oe yet cause there is no need for it and just now coders are releasing stuff compatable with 3.30oe. knowing sony they put higher security on this to get rid of icons, fonts, waves or something along those lines. if that would be the case who will update to it? i know many people that are still on 3.03oe just for useless icons. which the bugs are starting to get worked out for 3.30oe icons. what im saying is if D_A puts out 3.40oe it will probly be more limited then when 3.30oe first came out. if D_A wants to release it then please take your time on it. sony got something up thier sleeve.

» 3.40oe is necessary

3.40oe is necessary, 3.30oe-b, etc should be abandoned and 3.40 should be focused on, thats just retarded to stick to more 3.30 releases for icon fixes, when you can try to fix them for 3.40 and have the title support of more games. think things through! why stick with old if new is better?

» 3.40oe is necessary

"Who said the new is better?"
i did, *****
any other questions?

if i had to give you a list of reasons why new is better you'd be reading it your entire life. so get with the program. "new is better" because you have currently use a psp instead of a gamegear.

Re: hfdjf (Unregistered) - 2007-04-20

» hvfkjhg

but how is new always better. back in the day when 1.5 was out then 2.0 came out. it completley sucked compared to 1.5 cuz there was no homebrew capabilities.

» what 3.40 has

it has the ps3-psp tie up made stronger for playstation one titles. With 3.40 you can transfer the save data from PSP tp PS3 and vice versa and enjoy the continuation cycle when you are out of home too on the PSP. vice versa you can continue the game on PS3 when back home by copying the save data from Memory stick to PS3 harddrive.

It sounds like Certificate Utility was removed and its features made available by pressing Triangle on the PS1 game and selecting something in the menu.

I like how u can change the speed in the new settings menu and how u can change between several themes for your psp.

Just download 3.4 , upgrade and then go into language and change it to english.
