Firmware 2.82 Released!

[Shrygue]

Seeing that firmware version 2.82 is out now, it most probably be only a matter of time until new PSPs straight from the factory would have it. Even worse if they had the TA-082 motherboard inside the units too. Also, I wonder what would the the letter code to identify the factory 2.82s.

I enjoyed all of the GTA games, mainly for the driving and stunts. However, I am not getting VCS because there is no infrastructure mode to multiplayer.

And really the only reason why I hate that is because only 2 of my friends own a PSP, one of which never uses it anymore, the other doesn't own GTA and even if he did, he lives 45 minutes from my house; its far easier to hop on AIM and say, "yo VCS, I'll host" and play over the net than it is for any of us to drive on over.

i slagged QJ last week for bringing up rummors for this lol, i feel ashamed lol

lol

ah well... they deserve the slagging anyways. good job man!

It is quite coincidental that this firnware is just released as VCS is just around the corner... I wouldn't be surprised at all if the update is already included in VCS.. and rockstar has had the update for quite some time.

Let us pray

Damn u $ony ...this firmware is stupid with 3.00 comin out

[Shrygue]

people that upgrade and then regret it will soon afterwards cry out for a downgrader. It's always been the case with previous updates. In fact it still is; what with 2.80, 2.81 and now 2.82. Just wait and see.

All 2.80/2.81 games can be played using DevHook & 2.71 emulation except for 1 so far. The one that doesn't work is Cabelas African Safari. Ace Combat, Medal of Honor, Snoopy vs. Red Baron, & more all work even though they are 2.80/2.81 games.


Well simply because it takes more than a week or 2 to mass manufacture hundreds of thousands of GTA UMD's to be shipped in time for the release date. SONY provided game developers with the 2.80 & 2.81 files and updates back in August.

GTA: VCS will NOT be 2.82 and will most likely run with the current DevHook.

Also, SONY did not take down Booster. He is not sitting in some SONY prison or anything like that. There has not been any major need for a new DevHook. Especially with all of the DevHook Launcher MOD's and stuff. And I always say this as it should be common sense...... Booster is likely waiting for SONY's BIG firmware 3.00 to be released before he lets any new DevHook developments be made public. And for that very reason, one reason for the 2.82 release might be to try and bait the homebrew community. Basically if they release 2.82 and it is found "unsecured" they can modify 3.00 to be that much more difficult to crack, emulate, etc.

We should not fall into that sort of trap by SONY due to impatience. Force SONY to release 3.00 blindly and then the homebrew community can have its fun.....

The game you mentioned Cabelas yep you are correct but I think I can get it to go " Ill give it a shot"...

Veskgar-That comment that meanguns just quoted from you literally has got to be one of the more intelligent comments I have heard lately. You bring up a very good point. There really has been no need for a devhook yet because all fo the games can run on Devhook (Maybe thats what Booster intended, we don't know.) But yeah; i agree, now that i think about it. We should wait until the 3.00 comes out before any huge developments are made i dont play many games and all the games i want to play run now (NBA Live 07, Fight Night Round 3, Tiger Woods 07, Burnout Legends, Ridge Racer) Very good point and I tried the SE B firmware just to see what the big hype was it still lags things that I believe 1.50 still has Basically you just have to treat that 2.71 SEB as if it literally is a 1.50 and just cherish it Its cool and i respect it i guess but its just kinda sketchy, i dont know.

Ok quote myself I guess! I just finished my findings, ok bust a move won't work unless you skip the startup video right? RIGHT! well cabelas is simalar it's not the 2.81 firmware that is stoping it from running in fact cpu cycles are off the wall on my psp but the screen is just black, this is a simalar issue with bust a move, unlike bust a move deluxe where you can hit start and skip the opening sequence screen at the majestic logo allowing the game to load and play correctly, Cabelas does not allow you to skip this scrren hanging you at the start up screen... Cabela's has nothing to do with 2.81 it just won't work as an ISO image thats it! It won't work with Devhook that's it.... It has nothing to do with 2.71 firmware if it was a 2.0 firmware it would do the same dam thing. Please note its not in the support mpeg or prx files but in the main kernel itself!

Thanks,
