Yeah, I agree with F34R, if you could organize it like that it would be more clear.

[pspfan]

OK fine, I'll do the list (I have some spare time while waiting for replies to my topic).

I have no say in whether this list is completely correct or not, I just took them from his list and re-organized them in the form that F34R suggested. Feel free to make corrections or add games to the list.

well done everyone. This will help out a lot of people that are looking for this information before buying a game.

[pspfan]

Yeah, I think it'll help people. I've heard Madden requires v1.52. Can you confirm this? If so, I'll edit my post to include that.

[slik da relic]

sounds like if u want to play ANY umd games, ur gonna hafta use the wab vers. changer, and set ur psp firmware to 2.0, just to be sure u dont get caught by a FORCED update.

I just got Madden and I can confirm that it requires a v1.52 update. I have edited my post. Also, about WAB version changer, is it true that after you use it you can never upgrade again?? That would kinda suck, so I'm hoping the answer is no, but can someone confirm it?

[F34R]

Its off topic for this thread, but I'll answer it. I wouldnt know if you could update ever again or not. I dont see why it wouldnt let you upgrade. I am not going to test it either lol. Where did you "hear" this ? Can you point to a specific post, or is it just rumor ? Just for the simple fact that I do not plan on upgrading my 1.50 PSP, it isnt really an issue with me.

[pspfan]

Yeah, sorry for going off-topic. Here's a whole thread about it: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=10996. Anyways, I'm pretty sure it's just a rumor. I'm going to go ahead and use WAB.

Back to the topic, you got any games that need updates that aren't on the list?
