Sony PSP - Image 1With the PlayStation 3's firmware 1.90 now up and ready for use among the owners, Sony has also updated the PlayStation Portable to firmware 3.52. This latest update reportedly carries an improved PlayStation Network lineup. At least, that's what we're interpreting from an Engrish taken from Sony Japan's official PSP firmware update site:

  • PLAYSTATION Network title performance in order to play was strengthened.
We also picked up word from tipster Someone_PR that this is what the US upgrade will look like:
  • The number of PlayStation Network titles that can be played under [game] has increased
That said, we're also speculating that we might be looking at more security updates. That's the rough on the this latest firmware's features - we'll report again when we pick up Sony's official changelog for North America. Keep alert until then. We'd like to thank Zack, and Someone_PR for tipping us off on this news.

If only your comment actually made any sense, and wasn't just trolling flame bait.
And if only your handle wasn't a cruel irony.
Way to own yourself.

Aw Hell, now I'm gonna have to see "New 3.52 M33 Revision A, B, C, and D out!" every 5 minutes, haha.

Oh, and Noob Basher...

That's it.

Hopefully there won't be a new custom firmware because 2.52 isn't really worth making one. I hope a 2.52 POPS plugin comes out tho that lets you try it out on the old firmwares... >>.

If you already made it to an OE then you would a) know how that you can't downgrade new firmwares right away and b) know you can't update from an OE

Or c) your just a *****tard posting a stupid message.

ill place my bets on c)

exactly why i didnt upgrade to 3.51 M33 edition... oh look a new firmware.


   Re: Advertising -


   Re: Jesus Man (Unregistered) - 2007-07-24
 » yeah right

im still on 3.40 OE-A and the only reason that is, because I just finally upgraded to it a month ago after having run 3.03 OE-C for 9 months. Team M33 sucks lots of @ss, they flame on others for $hit they do them selves. That makes the the biggest of losers in my book. I'm sticking with DAX CFW.

You are an idiot. Just wait for new games to come that will require 3.5 or higher.

   Re: Someone... (Unregistered) - 2007-07-24
 » @Jesus Man

Jesus Man:

there's no way you were on 3.03 OE-C for 9 months. It was only released on 25th January 2007, so the longest you could possibly have it for is 6 months.

   Re: ~ (Unregistered) - 2007-07-24

Why wouldn't you upgrade though ?
It takes about 10 minutes and then you are done.

Whats the point in sticking with your old firmware anyway ?

   Re: mohaas05 (Unregistered) - 2007-07-24
 » you losers

3.51 M33 is pretty much 3.51 OE with a bunch of extras thrown in. it is in no way less reliable than OE.

   Re: Jin (Unregistered) - 2007-07-24
 » ...

You have to be kidding me. Okay let's start with this...

"You are an idiot. Just wait for new games to come that will require 3.5 or higher."

Hopefully a new custom firmware much better than this will be here by then, killer. ; )

"Why wouldn't you upgrade though ?
It takes about 10 minutes and then you are done.
Whats the point in sticking with your old firmware anyway ?"

...No way, no one could possibly make such a stupid comment like this without thinking about it first. I wouldn't upgrade to M33's because I enjoy everything that is on DAX's firmware already and is more stable. You can try and argue with "But M33's CF is just as stable!" Obviously it's not, or there wouldn't 89 updates for it. I realize they're trying to fix their bugs, or bring on a perfect no-UMD loader... but I don't really care about that. So yes, M33's firmware MAY be getting more stable, but Dax's already was. Also, point me in the direction of a sweet game that needs 3.51.

...No?

..No where? That's what I thought.

 » upgrading

Ok you toothless gibbons,

If not upgrading is pointless because there is a new one out regularly then you must be still driving a go kart and running a BBC home computer!!!! Things always change either stay behind or expand functionality and uses.

   Re: Mark (Unregistered) - 2007-07-24
 » Jin, no. YOUR the fool.

What is it you said? "think before you talk *****"
You might as well stamp a 'Loser!/Idi*t!' on your forehead and kick yourself in the @$$ while your at it.
OMG, you have got to be kidding me.
So let me get this straight. You wait for *new CFW to come out and then make your move to upgrade to the previous most recent CFW when that becomes available. Only then you get your kicks of owning a "stable/reliable" CFW (in your logic).
Faks sake, the whole idea of releasing *new CFW (besides the fact that newer/future titles will be requiring newer FWs) is that so WE/the users can test it out at that point, not freakin' 8 months or more.
Plus, there is NO DIFFERENCE with M33 and DAX CFW.
Those who says otherwise are either noobs or just arrogant fools like yourself.

I've been around since the 1.00/1.50 days when a bunch of ppl would tend to argue like what you guys are doing right now. But all those are just myths and some are just freak of nature on their view of the whole scene.
And I am more than happy to move to a newer CFW (regardless of it's origin/coders) if given the chance. Although I pay my tribute to them in MANY means except your kind (bad mouth something you know OBVIOUSLY NOTHING ABOUT)

The ONLY valid reason some ppl stay back to a CFW is because some have developed complex codes/brews/themes/etc... meaning upgrading to a newer CFW would be a disaster on those end cause their hard work would be obsolete if they do so.

THE BIGGEST, Most common mistake with M33 is that EVERY single myth that it's incompatibility with certain ISO(s). But if you've been with the PSP Community since day break (the beginning) you'll realize that those who say so are a complete noob/liar/in-experienced comments. NOTHING ELSE. cause if you personally load those ISOs, would find that it's perfectly fine.
Some ppl compain that certain ISOs don't work because the source of those ISOs are wither a bad one or just something from mininova or some trash place like that. on which a million dupe/modified versions are looming left right and center.

The ONLY most probable/obvious issue with M33 is that their *tiny bug issues (which they get from personal experience, valid tips, etc...) on which they act upon instantly, so as Dark Alex did when he began his OE-, A`, B, C, etc...

Yet not even half of the cry babies like yourself tend to surface and give em your arrogant/narrow minded opinions then. (Why do you think that?) *Duh!
If you even had a single brain cell, you would realize that yourself. Along with your kind of ppl.
along with that with ANY good software out there. UPDATES as frequent as every hour is made to THOSE WHO WANT/NEED them ONLY. Not for EVERYONE. Like what most noobs tend to do then later complain about.

So for Faks sake, those idi*ts like yourself, I leave this msg to ALL your kind.
Do NOT talk ***** unless you've compared the two in an acceptable/genuine means/method.
You can't compare the two after it's 3rd month even after using DAX OE in a time MUCH longer than that.
ANY CFW devs, given the chance. (As DAX were fortunate enough until he could) would excel and do nothing else but improve them on every chance they get. Wouldn't you? (unless your a liar/r3t?/rd)

It's fools like you that does nothing more than whine/b!atch are what's causing talented Devs/codes/brewers to leave cause of your tendencies of having to get EVERYTHING for free and still have the audacity complain and whine.

And yes, no game(s) yet require 3.51+ but that the whole point. ONE DAY THERE WILL BE. So either be prepared/accustomed with your CFW. Or just move out of those who are willing to go forward.

Go start your New CFW Devs hate thread/website or something if your REALLY sincere on your subjects. I'm sure you'll be flooded by your kind in a matter of minutes if you do so. Perhaps then you'll get your head together and GROW SOME BALLS!
