Firmware 2.71 Update Released

Now here's something very interesting. Firmware 2.71 has been officially released on Sonys websites!

You can check out the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0vDKQknBYU. (via PSP3D forums)

You can download it here from Sony.

Unfortunately my own server is down at the moment so you'll have to download it from the original location.

FEATURES:

--Game demos can now be downloaded from the internet and saved to the Memory Stick duo

--Video output can now be displayed correctly when external tuner is selected in Location Freeplayer.

Enjoy!
Edit: This update is available via network update.

Hm, I can't download it says "invalid session set".

The video looks real, but... How many such videos were shown and all of them are fakes.

It works fine for me, are you using a proxy?

this is alittle bit of a " fishy sounding " update to me....considering the mod chip was just released?? it seems more than a lil curious to old vetta.... ;)

Lets hope theres no security patches in this update.

downloaded and launchs i get to the PSP System Software Version 2.71 screen but i wont update so i dont know if it works fully

Ah it came via network update. No website update yet. I guess thats why some one posted it on filefront.

Aaah, that video was scary! :eek:
It looked like he was actually going to run it! :D

I doubt sony released this just to give people some extra goods...
It's more likely they had been keeping these things back to release with a new security patch...
But then again 2.7 seems pretty secure at the moment, doing something like that would only cause people to go out and look for what they covered up.

So maybe this is just a handout with no security patches?
Either way I wont be doing a 1.00 to 2.71 update... :p

It seems real, but as always, a complete waste to update.

Yeah, why would they? Oh hold on, apart from the web browser in 2.00. Or the RSS feeds. Or WMA support. Or LocationFree support.

Your amazingly out-of-date games list reflects this wonderfully. :D

Just in case anyone cares, there are a couple of big changes in this update eboot.
param.sfo in the eboot has been changed for the first time since the 2.00 update to include two more TITLE parameters.
I'm not sure what languages they are though, they look pretty simillar.

The install program filesize has increased by an entire meg in this update.
Between 1.5 and 2.7 the size only went up 650kb.
Between 2.7 and 2.71 it went up over a meg...

I wonder why they needed to change the installer program that much for this update? :confused:

True, they didnt do any security patches or block homebrew in any of those updates... they just gave us free stuff! :rolleyes:

lol.. and don't diss my lame collection of games! :mad:
Once the modchip is out I will be buying loads more umd games, but I'm not really missing much till ff7cc is out. :)

maybe they are simplified chinese and traditional chinese, since they are added in the 2.7 update

I think you're right. That was the first thing I thought it was too.
But I've tried copying and pasting into microsoft word using chinese encoding and font, but it doesn't change to chinese text.
I got the korean and japanese strings to output correctly, so I thought that would work. :confused:

Very intreasting...I seriously dobt this was made by sony. What if it is a custom eboot. Able to run homebrew withall the new features in 2.7. Like 1.5 fused with 2.7=2.71. Someone needs to try it and see whats going on. Because making custom eboots is illegal to distrubute someone might have just leaked it out and its got your attention now.

This FW is real but as it seems sony are being complete arsehole and blocking MAXBOT (gta exploit) and also they have blocked FANJITA (eloader).We took our file from the "Network update" then we have uploaded it, just to piss sony off :mad: We will have an article and where to download it with an hour on our site.

WE STATE ONCE AGAIN DO NOT UPDATE TO 2.71 AS IT HAS GOT PATCHES ONCE AGAIN !

No it was made by Sony, its on their "your PSP" site.
http://yourpsp.co.uk/psp/psp.html#id...l&locale=en_gb

SONY is lying to us...

http://yourpsp.co.uk/psp/psp.html#lo...re_latest_2_71

Here it clearly state "This system software update includes all features contained in previous versions."

And we all know this is not true. All I say is JP 1.0, unencrypted ELF's...

Best regards!

Wow, I think your a bit mixed up. These have been blocked since firmware 2.70, not firmware 2.71.

sorry i was abit pissed i meant to say ; "yet again theyve blocked....."
sorry

Clicky

for all you people who say its leaked and crap u r totally wrong i downloaded of yourpsp.com perfect I Reckon Sony Planned This realese date and brung it out on impact. i ran it perfect and it no different to my 2.70 but the only reason i got it is i wanted to get the game demos any1 no were to get them:) :)

So I Can Use Homebrew On My 2.71 now:confused:

Click above where it says "Clicky" were onto it:)

I think that some hacker will be able to get aroung the 2.70/2.71 soon because a new exploit will be around and i think that if the size is bigger it might have more code so that might be a hack point (its just a idea i dot have a clue about hacking but that might work)

Me and many other people are just upgrading because the modchip is coming out yay! But youll need to preorder one cos theres gonna be a rush to get them!

Just curious.... did they disable the "file:/" option in the browser? I see them doing that at some point to discourage offline playing of Flash games.

i am not going 2 get a mod chip they are a waste of money i reckon sony are just doing this so that hackers concentrate on 2.71 exploits and not 2.70 they say that you can download game demos well with what proof i only got it for that coz i ent got a clue about freeplayer im not really bothered about that but were are those demos:confused:

So how are people liking ng-gaming.com (thats not suposed to be an advert) and did you get your firmware from us?

Anyway i am going to get some hackers interested in some stuff on the 2.71 (not yet to be revieled) and i dunno if the file:// works :rolleyes: ill look into that aswell:) :cool:

EDIT: They wont do that they wouldnt dare that would make sales drop even further than they are now :p

looks like no demos at the mo ill keep searchin
