if sony are still updating, it means there are still ways in to the psp, so if you update youre putting yourslef further from homebrew

Heh, I'm not upgrading. Hopefully they don't release a security patch and a good update, then I'd be tempted to upgrade.

if you really think about it the upgrades ARE good, aside from not being able to play homebrew. They are good to have. People are treating it like its a bad thing. I mean without a decent one our PSP would be prone to virus.heh im writing this with psp

and they can, the 1.0 firmware is a weak enough to let someone run an eboot which could brick the psp.

Sorry about this but i am a n00b to the PSP, how would i actually update my PSP, it is the Jap one at version 1.5 and was wondering how i do it. If it is something to do with having to be at a wireless access point well i cant update then cheers for any help

You can expect a 1.52 firmware release for the American PSP in the next couple of months. Hopefully, Sony will release a firmware upgrade with webbrowser or something that will make people upgrade.

- Download JP1.52 file here
- Place it in your Memory StickPSPGAMEUPDATE folder
- Run it from your PSP Home menu

The only time I would bother to upgrade was if it was for something decent such as a web browser.
