2.81 is out and 4GB limit on MS is out!

[caseyhalone]

dude, they released the morning after we got 2.8 cracked? lol sony IS watching us!

[Briggzy11]

haha nah it was released before 2.80 was hacked

The tiff may still work however...the only way it shoudnt work is if they remove tiff support

[psiko_scweek]

i doubt they will remove TIFF support. But i think that the TIFF flaw will be patched though. Apple Mac Os X has already patched the same flaw.

Would be nice if we could start using mini hardives.

8gb sticks just too expensive

I think that Sony is playing well with their updates. They tempt giving us new feautres with each update, but for this one I think that still theres no need to update. I think 4GB is enough for having many hombrews, and affording a >4GB memory is not in many user hands. By the time a >4GB is affordable, maybe a new exploit is found, so I would not update. I did not update even my 1.00 ^_^.

Yeah, if the PSP could be plugged into a spacious portable mini HDD for easy back/forth data transfer or even real-time streaming it would be very convenient.

It says On The Update System Vulnerability Patches :-P

They actually claim to have fixed a few Memory Stick related problems in addition to abolishing the 4MB limit:

2) With "ATRAC" files which have been protected in SonicStage and then saved to Memory Stick PRO Duo, the protection management data becomes corrupted, and become unable to be played back

3) Memory Stick PRO Duo media which have been formatted from either the PSP or a Memory Stick formatter are recognized as unformatted media when connecting the PSP to a PC with the USB cable

Not many people'll care about the ATRAC stuff, but I do think quite a few people would be excited by the PC related fix. That's a pretty common problem.

Worth repeating:

I personally do need the extra space. However, I need the extra space due to the wealth of homebrew, EMU's, & Game Back-ups I use. If I upgraded, I would NOT need the extra space because most of the homebrew I use would not work.

So basically it's an upgrade that benefits nobody. If you don't use homebrew, you don't really need anything larger than a gig or two. The (official) PSone emu isn't due for a couple of months, and new games requiring the update probably won't surface for another six weeks.

I dont think anyone at such a high firmware would need so much memory. Even my 2gig is enough for now.
