PSP FW 3.0


For today! We just got word from badrix that the Playstation Portable 3.00 Firmware Manual has been posted up on Sony's site. The manual details some of the mundane details for your typical firmware update, however there are a few hot topics in there which demand attention. I'll tell you right off that there was no information in their updated manual regarding the PSP supporting homebrew with firmware 3.00, and this was a rather large disappointment. On the other hand, the few additions that were made were helpful, one might even say overdue, but these added pleasures were still bitter sweet.

network Remote Play - Remote play is a new feature in Firmware 3.00 that allows you to remotely control your PlayStation 3 from your PSP. This also includes the display of PS3 content on the PSP. "You can display a PLAYSTATION®3 system screen on a PSP™ system and play content that is on the PS3™ system. To use this feature, you must adjust the necessary settings on the PSP™ system and the PS3™ system." Using this new mode of playback, one can control the Photo, Music, Video, and Internet Browser features of the PlayStation 3 from a remote location via their Playstation Portable.


video Video Compatibility - In this updated version of the Playstation Portable firmware, you are also able to play a few new video formats. The Motion JPEG format (M-JPEG), is an "informal name for multimedia formats where each video frame or interlaced field of a digital video sequence is separately compressed as a JPEG image" (Wikipedia). The PlayStation Portable plays both the Linear PCM and the μ-Law versions of the Motion JPEG video format. In addition, you will now be able to access the Camera (functionality) from the photo option menus, for quicker easier access when taking photos or video. Another nifty function is the ability to finally turn off Auto Play for inserted UMD Discs via UMD Auto Boot. (Thanks zerojay)


PS1Games PlayStation Games - Here's the big tip you've been waiting for. Finally, Sony is going to drop their highly anticipated PlayStation One emulator onto the PSP. From the manual however, there seems to be a unavoidable catch. If you don't have a PS3, your not going to be enjoying PlayStation One games emulating on Sony's PlayStation One emulator for PSP anytime soon. From the manual it states that you must connect to the Playstation Online store with your PSP connected to the PlayStation 3 in order to download and play the games. In addition, they mention that you can in fact share the games, but you must activate the other system in the Friends menu as a PS3 Network Account.

Now to top it all off right before posting this, I came across a tip submitted by Jordan. Which led me to a post made by 0okm and from the looks of things, it would appear the PlayStation Portable 3.00 Firmware will be out soon - as soon as Today! just a few days, on November 22 to be exact, according to Sony Asia's Managing Director Tetsuhiko Yasuda. Remember, Sony didn't mention anything about homebrew this time around either, so make sure you are aware that the current methods for playing unofficial games will probably not work. No matter the consequences it would appear that if your looking to get into some PlayStation One gaming on the PSP, for now, you know what you gotta do...



Update: Just got wind that PSP 3.00 Firmware is out now! We have obtained the file and are uploading it as you read. If you were thinking about updating, check your network settings, reports have come in it is up and ready via network update as well. With the Japanese 3.00 firmware update finally out on the net, we can only assume it will appear in stores on the shelf very soon as well.

 » lol, this is funny.

Yah so sony wants you to upgrade to 3.0 while they still don't *****ing support avi nor mpeg video. They also want you to buy the location free player and or the ps3 in order to acess the cool features!? Thank god we have homebew and talented people who actually know what the psp needs. Damn you sony, damn you.

 » thats wut im saying

i swear... sony likes to screw people in the ass very hard. i for one arent buying either the locationfree tv player sh*t or the ps fuc*in 3 b/c i think thyer both crappy b*tch inventions. I aint tryna spend $800+ to use the rest of the gud features on my psp.
looking on sony's side tho... the reason why they want us to get our psp games like this is b/c they done want any pyracy adn making u spend an extra $600+ to play their ps1 games is what they want us to do in order to "fix this" problem. well u kno what... take ur $600+ ps3, put it up ur ass and have sun hardcore anal with it.I NOT UPDATING CUZ I CANT PLAY ANY PS1 FU*KIN GAMES
if sony were really smart, theyd lmake the ps1 emu delete a necessary file if it was used with an illegal copy of a ps1 game.... but noo. SONY FU8KIN SUX ON BIG COX SO THEY DONT THINK OF SH1T LIKE THIS.

sony wants us to find a hack with the firmware, so that they can patch it up, and then they will release a firmware update that lets you d/l the ps1 games onto the memory stick. Damn them!

 » Couldn't we share the ps1 games online?

If someone downloaded the ps1 games on his stick can't they share it on the internet? Or is it protected with that registry on the ps3?

And does it have any purpose if you upgrade a 2.82 to 3 if you aren't going to buy a ps3?

Set your parental control level to 1 then the umd will not auto boot without the password.

2.71SE B already has that.
sony hq ran out of ideas?
now all they need to do is sell isos of their
games and let us run them from the xmb....riiiight.

or in a more serious matter they should allow 300 MHz overclocking and explain how it works.

How long do you think it'll take before they come out with a downgrade?

I'm not putting my house on layaway just to buy a PS3.

If anything, I'd do it for the 360, just because I want to see how the Halo series is going along.

 » More stuff added...

Sony has added visualizations to the music player, more options for the RSS feed (such as what time to attempt to download podcasts at), remote play options (including how responsive the buttons will be - higher responsiveness, slower screen updates) and Playstation Network downloads (PS1 games).

   by Hamsandwhich (Unregistered) - 2006-11-20
 » Don't worry


Someone is bound to crack the emulator, and make it available to folks who think the PS3 thing is bull****. Same with the games. I'm pretty optimistic about that.


   Re: blackwater (Unregistered) - 2006-11-20
 » agreed

Indeed. ON some warez site somewhere there will be the eboots. Just wait and see. And yes, the ps1 games are in eboot format.

Sony's PSP is a great system. They just keep f***ing up. Screw sony.

by the way. I am a diehard sony fan and even I think the PS3 is waaaay too expensive. The Wii rocks my socks though

YOU GUYS


THIS IS THE FABLED 3.0 FIRMWARE


WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARDS TO THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR!!


SO MANY PROMISES...


SO MANY SPECULATIONS...


SO MANY EXPECTATIONS...



all rippd to shreads.




everything that we've been hearing about these past months.. none of it is in the firmware at all.




all this 3.0 firmware is is a few small updates to the video.. and new options with the PS3.






we all thought this firmware would be revolutionary.





in my opinion, its worse than the 2.7 update.

at least that gave us something totally new- demos.










a dissappointment.

   Re: Jin (Unregistered) - 2006-11-20
 » For the people telling everyone to stop Sony bashing...

Shut up. Just shut up. Yes, they gave us the PSP, and with that makes much more reason to hate them because of everything they're trying to do with it. They try so hard to just make money they forget what the costumer actually wants, or gives a ***** about. Do I really want to pay 600 dollars to play PS1 games on my PSP? No. I may have CSO files, but if they actually let you buy PSX games, I would. The updates for the PSP can suck it. The PSX Emulator that you need a PS3 for can suck it. They are trying WAY to hard. PSP is fun because of emulators, because of the ***** we can do to it thanks to hackers, not because of Sony. So yes, I am a fan of the PSP, but if Sony was one person, I'd want to punch him.
