Homebrew users banned from upgrading

via PSP Fanboy

Many PSP Homebrewers seem upset that they can't upgrade to Sony's latest official firmware. Why? Because they've been using custom firmware on TA-082 PSPs. The 3.30 firmware installer doesn't seem to run on these modified systems, giving a mysterious 'DRNffffffd7 error code." These glitches seem to mirror the many found when Ratchet & Clank was released. So much for respecting the homebrew scene, huh?

Firmware 3.30 gives users some important functionality, such as official support for full-resolution videos and free internet access at T-Mobile Hotspots nationwide. For now, it seems as though users of custom firmware will have to wait until Dark_Alex and the rest of the homebrew community work their magic again.

You mean important functionality that homebrew already has?

one quick question. why would most custom firmware users upgrade to OFFICIAL firmware, when they can wiat for a custom firmware?

if your a homebrew user, you really should'nt be upset because this always happens and is not new to most of us. When a new firmware comes out we simply wait it out to see if it gets hacked or not. The updates are good but nothing to serious, the t-mobile hotspot thing sounds nice though.

Um, why would you want to upgrade from a custom firmware to an offical firmware?

Becides, we can dump it from the eboot anyway.

I don't think Sony would block homebrew users intentionaly since part of the reason for upgrades is to tempt hombrewers away into the darkness (and for some away from piracy).

Edit : Who ever gave me bad rep for this post , it was meant to be funny !,

Edit : Thanx !!! :) you know who you are

If TA-082 custom firmware users think 3.30 has "important functionality" I think they've been missing what homebrew has to offer...

Plus, if you really want full res videos, try PMP mod AVC or a brew of the similar quality, and XVid4PSP. You won't be sorry.

Its only a matter of time before the man Dark Alex makes sony shudder in fear with his custom firmwire.

i agree with everyone hear but still SONY are just player haters!! lol

Omg thanks! That means that if this didn't happen now we could have lost a lot of homebrewers. They would be on 3.30 right now homebrewless.
