3.80 M33 Coming, Third PSP Model In The Works?

Mathieulh and Dark_AleX have confirmed that work on custom firmware 3.80 M33 has already commenced. There is no set release date at this time, but expect to see a release in the near future.

While working on 3.80 M33, the two found a peculiar string in the IPL’s payload file — pspbtcnf_03g.bin. What does this mean? Well, flashback to a few months ago when a string referring to pspbtcnf_02g.bin was found in firmware 2.71. Once the PSP Slim was finally released, it was discovered that “02g” was none other than a codename for the slim hardware.

Could “03g” be the codename for a third PSP hardware revision? Perhaps for the rumored PSP phone? It’s possible.

Hells Ya Buddy, this is very good nooz - I'm glad that I decided to wait for this - not sure about the whole HX thing yet, that's all - I still haven't heard if it even works or not.

awsome.
i would love a model 3.
but i dont think they should make it a new psp.

they need to make a psp2, with much better gfx, better battery, and a ps2 emulator.

great find though

i wouldnt want to see a a 3rd model....it would be useless...

mainly because...

A.) its to early due to them making the slim ( which hasnt even seen a full years round yet.... )

and...

B.) its to late, cause the psp has been out almost 3 years....

I think its time they went into the "lets build a new portable" idea.... it would be way to dumb for sony to be working on a new revision now...

those are just my opinions though...

Thanks for Everything,

I think it would still be nice to see a new revision of the PSP, like a PSP Slim2 or something, with the following things:

1) BlueTooth support
2) A wider range of wireless modes
3) A built-in microphone
4) A larger-capacity battery

...at the very least :P

It's just a revision of the PSP slim that won't allow you to use the Pandora battery.

Thats what I was thinking too. Same slim psp just slightly upgraded security via hardware instead of software.

I hope they dont make a third. i cant afford all three

If they do make a new version of the PSP it will eventually be hacked anyway, I remember that when they released version 3.40 or some other version, they said it could not be downgraded but after a few weeks of work it became downgradable. Since I don't have a Slim yet I might just wait and see if they do release a new one
