[RELEASE]Sony Of Official 3.95 Firmware

This is another release by sony, which for me i think its worthless and they just want to waste our time with it.For those who wants to get to that firmware you can update via Settings>Network Update.

The New Features are:

* While playing PSone games on your PSP, you can now customize how the buttons are assigned by going to
[Controller Settings] > [Assign Buttons] and select [Custom].

* You can now quit Remote Play and choose to turn off your PS3 or leave it on after quitting. This is useful if you are performing a download and want to quit Remote Play, but still want your download to continue on the PS3. Select [Quit and Turn Off the PS3 System] or [Quit Without Turning Off the PS3 System] from [Quit Remote Play] when you press the HOME button on the PSP system.

Download or Update Via Network Update

I for one can't wait until, firmware 3.976. It will be great to see those tiny bugs fixed.

Seriously though, I just realized this but since Pandora Sony has stopped releasing firmwares with "security patches." That's pretty amusing now that I think about it. Anyone else notice this?

AT LEAST
its not as pointless as 3.93

Maybe because there's absolutely no security in the PSP now and it would be pointless to try and stop it.

I dunno, the custom button assignments for PS1 games seems pretty neat...

Probably just playing devil's advocate more than anything else but:

User-customisable controller mapping in pops has to be useful somewhere. More so to the people here at dcemu once the functionality is included in a cfw.

While I agree almost all listed changes to official firmwares are worthless (to me), they (and their often objected to business model) did pay people to write pops for dax to unlock in between releasing a (terrible to the point of being useless to me) web browser and the BS jxx2005 posted.

I think they will keep making (futile) changes in future firmwares even if they know it wont stop people who want to 'hack' their PSP. Just making it seem complicated enough to be slightly intimidating to a non technically inclined kid is probably enough reason. Something like 'You have to use version Y with firmware Y not version X that was used for firmware X' does seem to be enough to bother many newbs in the PSP scene.

By what MicroNut said they did at least change the encryption keys which I believe in at least some past updates they have not.

I don't know if they changed the encryption or not.
Lets give RS and others a chance to look at this.
Might only be a minor change again.
I don't know much about it.

This is what I have tried.
RS PsarDumper 3.2 with or without pspdecrypt.prx for 2LRZ, KL4E and KL3E on 3.71M33-4 or 3.91M33-3 errors out with a "pspPSARInit failed".
PSARDumper Mod with KL4E and KL3E support fails as well but i didn't expect it to work since it has never been recompiled to support larger PSAR's since 3.80.

*Still waiting for 4.00-M33*...hopefully with DivX-support.:thumbup:

But changing buttons in the ps1-emulator isn't useless at all. Well, I for one don't use it (I never had a ps1) but I think this can be pretty handy...

How is this a waste of an update? Sony should be making constant updates to fix little bugs. that remote play fix is useful if you have a ps3, and the button changes for ps1 games can also be just as good.

hmmm

maybe sony is throwing out mini updates to get ready for the big one?

anyway, some people may say these little firmware updates are useless....but they arnt "totally" useless. as mentioned... the ps3 fix is nice and ps1 custom key config is pretty nice as well :)

however we all await for the big firmware.... \o/ 4.0 \o/

hopefully the next update will be 4.0 ;)

Argh. Annoying. Can't wait for 3.40. Some rumoured features that if true will make me once again totally obsessed with my psp again. Not to say I'm not still a little obsessed but that will make me as bad as when ps1 emu came out.

When 3.0 came out, did the Sony hatred die down for a split-second ? It's a little hard to imagine. It seems every time the word Sony's mentioned, within minutes you've got a reply from some anti-Sony random, frothing at the mouth with anger.

How do you install 3.90 m33 firmware on a 3.95 firmware?

Pandora Battery. That means you require someone else who already has cfw in order to do it. Sorry but when you want custom firmware the golden rule is to not update your official firmware. The higher the official firmware the more complicated the method to downgrade becomes.

And the process is:
3.95 > 1.50 > 3.52M33-4 > 3.90M33
(The underlined section is the hard part)

Darn! I updated my FW as well. I now have 3.95 and just read here that it is hard to downgrade and get a CFW with it.
:(

Is there anyone out there to help me with this issue?
:o

I've been playing games for ages, but only last month I thought of homebrewing anything and started reading about it (not a complete noob. I have some programing background.... erm not on psp, tho.)
:p

i'm guessing it will probably be released around the same time the new psn store is unveiled.
