Sony has announced that a new PSP firmware update version 6.10 will be released very shortly. According to Eric Lempell, PlayStation Network Operations, this is a big update in preparation for the launch of PSP Go. All PSP Go owners are advised to download the update to ensure full compatibility with MediaGo and with all PSP titles. Check out the list of features after the break.

*UPDATE* PSP FW 6.10 now available!

Despite being widely criticized for their work on MAC-B 6.00, Team Mack has remained adamant, continuing to defend themselves with video updates, which continue to get bashed anyway. If user comments won't get to them, maybe this one will. If there's anyone in the homebrew scene who's gonna speak up against tomfoolery, it's FreePlay. The self-confessed "PSP hacker, PSP Revolution addict, atheist, skeptic, all-purpose ranter" posts his own video debunking Team Mack's 6.00 CFW.

Team Mack is back to show us even more proof of their upcoming Custom Firmware 6.00 MAC-B. In the latest video, the team walks us through the new features of their CFW project, from the ISO encryption method to the the double system update options. Check out the vid after the break.

When Mack's CFW 6.00 MAC-B video surfaced, the word "fake" was echoed in forums and comments sections all over the interwebs. Insisting that they're legit and their work will indeed be downloadable in the future, Mack posts another vid explaining everything.

More bad news for PSP custom firmware users. Apparently, the upcoming Gran Turismo PSP will require you to have the latest firmware 6.00 installed before playing the game. More after the break.

Usually, when a comparatively major firmware update gets released, the first thing the homebrew community does is scrutinize the changelog. Not just the one officially posted but also the things that Sony doesn't mention. Then, it's usually decrypted pretty rapidly by one group or another. Finally, someone posts a YouTube video showing what is allegedly a working CFW version of the official update.

Things didn't go any different with OFW 6.00.

Well, well, what have we here? It hasn't been long since the GEN team announced that they've decrypted the newly-released PSP FW 6.00, and now we have this video claiming that a working CFW 6.00 can be released soon. Do we have a real one on our hands? Or is this just another YouTube hoax? See for yourself.


Thanks to Zac Isaac for the heads up!

A QJ.NET reader has just dropped us an email saying that official firmware 6.00, which was released for the Sony PlayStation Portable just a couple of days ago, has already been decrypted. Wow. Those GEN folks work pretty fast.

Thanks to JSanity663 for the tip!

So official firmware 6.00 is here. As with every OFW release, there's bound to be speculation about what steps the homebrew community would counter the new protections it puts into place, and who do we all turn to but Dark AleX? Those hoping for a 6.00 M33 release will likely end up waiting in vain, however.


Thanks to shadownhero for the tip!
