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

[happy_mak]

Just in case 1.5 PSP pwners feel at home with all the power in their hands, this one may make you
rethink!

The firmware 2.81 is launched officially on the Sony
PSP site in Japan and the main change it has in it is
that the 4 GB limit on memory stick is OFF.

This is a individual choice if once needs that above 4GB space or not (well , me not even afford it). But this one is going to bring in a new challenge to 1.5 owners who need that space. Figuring out how to read 4 GB+ sticks on 1.5

It was devhook till now, looks like diskhook or something is called for?

By the way has the TIFF exploit been patched in this one? Well i have not updated yet, maybe in a few hours i will. Will update the post

Breaking Info from b8a (Dcemu Translator) of the other new items:

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

What is there to rethink? You can't really believe that this update is going to make 1.50 users tempted to throw it all away.

Well i have not updated yet, maybe in a few hours i will.

Why the hell would you do that?

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.

A 4GB Ultra II PRO Duo should be sufficient for a while. Eventually I will hope that the upcoming 8GB sticks will work somehow. This is a step forward for SONY now. Opening up more storage possibilities to get ready for their PS1 EMU & download service.

lol, I'm sticking with 1.50 , but that extra space with be nice but very $$$$ I spent an arm and leg for the 4gig, and I think thats good enuff.

i wonder if hacked version of their modified PSX games will surface....

Well its obvious those *******s fixed the exploit lol.

Well I've only just ordered my sandisk 4GB card (after my datel HD suddenly died on me), but this is a step in the right direction from Sony.

It will be a great day if we can figure out a way to get 4GB+ to work on 1.5's.

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm... 8 gb of home brew!

Hoping there will be some way to emulate them on 1.5 - given time Im sure there will be!

/\ /\ Exactly! Its why $ony wont win.. 1.5 forever!

[razorak]

if they could really hack the PSX games, it may be an opening for homebrew....like an eloader in the form of a faked(?) psx game? i'm pretty sure PSX games have saves too...lol. Or better still convert eboots to be able to run on the PSX emu

i'm thinking too far...lol I'm definitely a victim of wild imagination

[fistikuffs]

Oh no! Will i be limited to only 4gigs of homebrew emus and roms? Boo hoo what will i do? It's a tradegy...

[siulmagic]
