My QJ: Firmware 3.00, "hopefully" released soon

Posted Oct 16, 2006 at 12:51AM by MyQJ Listed in: MY QJ Tags: Japan, PS1

Now, as I'm sure many of you may have seen, there were pictures flying around the PSP community during E3 showcasing the 'almighty' PSP firmware 3.00. The estimated release date was October, and I'm being very optimistic in hoping that it will be coming out soon.

Contrary to this, there have been rumours flying around that 3.00 won't be released until the PS3 is available in Japan, as 3.00 is quite heavily based around PS3-PSP connectivity (apparently, some of the core files for this connectivity were slyly put in firmware 2.80) so we may not even see it until mid-November.

I personally can not wait for 3.00 as I was always a big fan of PS1 games and the PS1 emulation should, theoretically, be perfect (let's face it, we were all impressed when Kaz played Ridge Racer 1 at E3 on the psp), so here's hoping that it shall be released REAL soon, as the community may expand further due to the additional capabilities being crammed into 3.00. *hype begins*

» I'm excited ;)

I'm excited, although I'm sure I won't upgrade. I'm anxious to see what features there will be.

In another way though, I'm dreading the release. I'm expecting a rish of posts the following day from 3.00 users who regret upgrading and are complaining that it needs to be hacked.

2.71 was bad enough, I can just imagine how many more there will be for 3.00.

Re: Bman21212 (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» hacking

That will be annoying, but the fact that it will be able to play emulator games means it will be able to be hacked. All you need is time :)

» Upgrades Ahoy

Considering everything we'll be getting in 3.0, I wont complain one bit.

People who upgrade know what theyre getting, and I personally have enjoyed every legit firmware update (ones that just "patch security arent my thing).

Re: _F1 - 2006-10-16

» Would be nice

People have updated willingly to every firmware, yet there has always been a bunch of complainers who want the firmware to be hacked within the day.

» ps1 emulator

yeah, I was real impressed with RIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAACER!!!

really though, I probably will keep mine at 1.5 forever...

oh yeah, and I got 2 PS3's reserved, Ebay biatch! :)

Re: Reneid Klein (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» Um...sorry to let you know

Ebay won't be selling PS3s and stuff this time. In an article QJ put up yesterday, they said they don't want to have it turn out like last year when people bought 360s but never got them, so they aren't allowing people to sell PS3s on eBay this time.

At least, that's what the article seemed to say to me.

Re: Tyler (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» Actually

If you read the rules of EBAY you can sell an item up to 30 days in advance from owning it your self. So just wait 2 days and you will see tons of bids all over the place!

Re: Madgamer7 (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» ps3 on ebay

Reneid Klein was right you can't sell ps3s of ebay so actually IT SUCKS FOR U!!!!!!

by SjaakRake - 2006-10-16

» Postpone!

I hope this gets postponed as much as possible. There are too many games I want to play on my PSP before this update is released. GTA VCS as an example.

The purpose of a news article is to inform. this tells us nothing new. QJ, are you that desperate that you have to use this filler crap for news?

Re: Advertising -

Re: Someone (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» Well...

Read the title of this website. It reads near the end: "PlayStation Portable News." This looks like news to me. News is about informing people about things going on.

Re: NightShade (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

Its a MyQJ Article, someone was posting in their own "blog", and it got over 100 jumps, and it gets automaticly posted on the front page of pspupdates.qj.net
It says so at the bottom of the article :-|

by Raz (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» Hmm

You people and your 3.0, you freakin cream your pants over a number. I'll be laughing when 3.0 is just a "security" upgrade blocking homebrew and with no features.

Re: _F1 - 2006-10-16

» ...

When has there ever been a non-x.x1 firmware that is just a security update? Besides, what would be the need; 2.81 hasn't been cracked yet.

Re: Jarvis (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» true

i cant see there being any improvement with the 3.0 firmware, wow it might enable you to play a ps1 emulator, but your giving up all your iso;s and homebrew capability to play games that are graphically inferior. and like Raz said when it turns out to be a security upgrade. there are going to be so many people all over the country laughing and taking the piss out all of you's for being retarded enough to upgrade

Re: mr toasty (Unregistered) - 2006-10-17

» you sir...

are a retard and a half, even if it WAS a securtity update news would be all over QJ, and anyone with half a brain would see the changelog before upgrading.

Also, how are ps1 games graphically inferior to PSP homebrew?

Not to mention Isos technically being what PS1 games will be stored in....

Don't get me wrong theres some awesome homebrew but damn don't be so ignorant.

by RaiderX - 2006-10-16

» WHY WOULD YOU BE HOPING FOR THIS TO RELEASE SOON??

Not until AFTER Vice City Stories releases! If 3.0 comes out before it, it'll be like 2.0 was for LCS and we wont be able to play it on 1.5 PSPs for a while. Even if VCS requires a 2.81 update, itll be easier to crack than 3.0

Althought I wont midn 3.0 AFTER VCS lol, wouldnt mind seeing what it has in store, but im sure it wont be out until ps3 is launched since itll probably include ps3 communication system built in

Re: prime (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» VCS

Chances run high that VCS was delayed specifically so they could implement 3.0 syscalls into the code.

Sucks of course, but if you ran Take Two, you'd do the same.

» I want DOWNGRADER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want Downgrade my PSP 2,80 however these TIFF Downgrader did not go. Isn't there which other one?

Re: Madgamer7 (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» 2.80 Downgrader

I looked at it on my hex editor and it is just a modified version of the 2.0 downgrader. That's why it doesn't work.

by ADePSP (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» Very strange...

Why PSPUpdates is bigging up a firmware that simply makes it harder for people to use homebrew is a mystery to me...

Re: NightShade15 (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

by Hender (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» I think...

Personaly i think that we will see a 2.90 then 2.91 before we see the 3.00. I hope this isnt the case but im not getting myself too amped about 3.00 just to be let down by a secruity patch in 2.9

Re: NightShade15 (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» I dunnnooo

It could be a major jump.
Like 1.52 --> 2.00
(Most likly) Don't think sony is going to ***** around with that. They want as many people as possible moving to the official firmware out as soon as possible.

Re: _F1 - 2006-10-17

» Not a security patch

As I said earlier, it will not be a security patch.

1) 2.81 is safe, why patch something that doesn't need a patch?
2) If there -is- a security patch, it will be 2.82, not 2.9 or 3.0.

by CheWu (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» Stick With It..

i remember having 2.6 with the GTA eLoader playing some games was fun. 2.7 with flash came along and i upgraded. worst mistake ever! that is untill the downgrader came out. i wont make that mistake again. if and when v3 comes out im going to wait for a hack. 1.5 is still the best

Re: NightShade15 (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» 2.71 SE-A?

Why not upgrade to this firmware?
I'm lovin' the firmware rather than using DevHook which every time I have to Cold restart I have currupted DevHook Files. (2.71SE-A has almost 100% of the homebrew abilities.)

Re: CheWu (Unregistered) - 2006-10-16

» I know

i just like 1.5 w/ devhook 2.71

by Kayne - 2006-10-16

» Can't wait for hooked version.

I realy look forward to it, not because I am upgrading.
But because they can hack it so we can emulate it and use all the features (I mean deal with it ISO,CSO,DAX loading is way better than a PS1 emulator)
But i do want the emulator and play Tombi FF8 etc.
