3.00 firmware


Rumors have been flying all over the internet over the highly anticipated (or for homebrewers, disliked) firmware 3.00 update. You saw some of the pictures from E3 and from other sources, and now it's (almost) here. The date for the 3.00 update will be released on October 19! As you can see, there are many new features and even a new layout! By the way, there is now a "Remote Play" option under the network connections tab, for wireless play between the PSP and PS3!

It would be smartest to wait and see if someone manages to hack the new firmware to create a different firmware that includes PSONE emulation while still providing homebrew.

Dont upgrade untill you have to. The first selection of PS1 games might suck.

 » How coukl QJ let this trash on here?

That image was proved fake months ago when a PSP forums admin claimed that he got it from a legit sony rep. As for the sources for this it's completely crap. It's obviously just a giant grab for attention and probably a method to make QJ look even more crappy than it already is.

In fact there were many fake 3.0 photos going on at the time and the photo alone looks like a horribly done photoshop job. (note the lack of the backround wave, the font on the time and date is different, and the low quality icons on the XMB)

Failure.
