PSP Firmware UpdateLike a sudden tight slap to the face of all PSP homebrewers, Sony has come out with the newest firmware update, v2.82. You won't find them on the official sites yet, because they're yet to be updated. But talking to zshadow, it seems that the updates are being rolled out right now through the Network Update feature.

Here's what's new in the latest homebrew-less PSP firmware:

  • Ability to play Flash content in the Internet Browser (Connection to internet required for license)
  • Connection Settings added under Settings in Internet Browser
  • Ability to save content added in RSS to Memory Stick
  • Automatic has been added under Rate in Location Free Player
  • UMD Video L/R button added under Video Settings in Settings
  • Ability to disable Chapter Skip feature of the L/R Buttons (UMD Video)
  • New playable extension - AAC
  • Simplified Chinese, Tradition Chinese added as new languages
  • RSS channel Settings added in Settings
  • Demos can now be downloaded from Browser and saved on Memory Stick
  • Video output can now be displayed correctly when an external tuner is selected in Location Free Player
  • Ability to download Video and Image content under RSS Channel
  • Ability to register devices via a wireless LAN access point under Location Free Player
  • Ability to play AAC files with .3gp extension under Music
  • Ability to play content saved in MUSIC, PICTURE and VIDEO folders on a Memory Stick
  • Added security strengthening revisions.

Update:
Everything except for the last change has been present in firmware 2.80 and 2.81. The only thing which is new in this update is the bolded part, i.e. added security revisions. Although, when you do run the update, you will see the exact list which is present here. Our apologies for the confusion. And even though it's quite obvious, let us get one thing straight shall we?


You will not be able to use any homebrew on firmware 2.82.

Please do not rest your hopes on anyone cracking it soon.



In case you're still hell bent on shutting down homebrew on your PSP, you can download them for your respective region below. Though, once your PSP stops booting homebrew, remember.....We told ya!

 » damn

I really didnt see this coming. Any one allready installed it ? and checked the files etc ?

According to the change log quite a few features have been added. strange that the version jumps from 2.81 to 2.82 and not 2.9 or 3.

Lets hope this can lead to en exploit in downloading game demos etc.


   Re: jrfhoutx (Unregistered) - 2006-10-26
 » not so strange

Look back at the update history and its not as strange, remember the 1.50>1.51>1.52>2.0 update string? most of that stuff was included in the 2.81, 2.80, 2.71, and 2.70 updates it just a cover for tightening security measures.

all the features listed on this blog were added in older firmware versions. Seems like you guys spent too much time on 1.5. LOL SAD.

   Re: KirbySS - 2006-10-26

"go learn english your *****ing moron"

Should read:

"Go learn english, you're a *****ing moron."

Great work there "meh".

   Re: jrfhoutx (Unregistered) - 2006-10-26
 » not really

Sony probably found some kind of exploit or security hole on their own, or is gearing up for the next big jump (ie:1.52>2.0 / 2.82>3.0 (just a guess)) like they did right before 2.0 and is adding things to the firmware that aren't active yet but will be utilized and activated in the next firmware (kinda like with the camera/gps libs in the last update)

   Re: God (Unregistered) - 2006-10-27
 » Language skills and the lack thereof.

Kirby,

He may have been trying to say "Go learn English you ****ing moron." Please note that the language should be capitalized. Regardless of that, this entire conversation is beyond stimulating.

To quote Stephen Hawking: "Although light is made up of waves, Planck's quantum hypothesis tells us that in some ways, it behaves as if it were composed of particles: it can be emitted or absorbed only in packets, or quanta. Equally, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle implies that particles behave in some respects like waves: they do not have a definite position but are 'smeared out' with a certain probability distribution. The theory of quantum mechanics is based on an entirely new type of mathematics that no longer describes the real world in terms of particles and waves; it is only the observations of the world that may be described in those terms."

It's true. Look it up.

Homebrew is boring now and there's lots of cool games coming out soon so I'll be updating.

   Re: Rammek - 2006-10-27
 » homebrew sucks balls

Really. Compared to the games coming out now, homebrew sucks. It does.

All you *****s are just a bunch of whiney losers latching onto other people's work. Sucky work as it is, at least they are doing something constructive with their time.

You're worse than fanboys, you think you're edgy and cool because you're "up against tha man" in Sony. More like a bunch of pathetic religious zealots. Your 1.5 FW is your bomb belt as you martyr yourself for *****ty homebrew software.

Great work, losers!

   Re: Rammek - 2006-10-27
 » While I'm on a roll

I know... KNOW that 90% of you homebrew whiners run pirated ROMS. You're all full of ***** when you complain about Sony taking away your "homebrew".

Yeah, right.

   Re: Warhawke (Unregistered) - 2006-10-26
 » Difference

The only thing that's different here is more security and the version number. 2.82 doesn't offer anything new to the PSP. All these features are in 2.8 anyway.

   Re: conzie (Unregistered) - 2006-10-27
 » yeah

he right, but is it sony just being desperate? what if there are no changes to security? and if there are, then the file that was changed cud be used to play homebrew (theory)
