PlayStation Portable 3.0 firmware features revealed and released

[ExcruciationX]

Complete and utter bull$#@!. Enough said.

[Mr. Shizzy]

This is great news for me. Now Dark_Alex hopefully can take custom firmware to a whole new level.

Updated, but the music- visualizer is something which will leave more to be desired. Just 5- effects and that too mediocre... atleast the visualizer was a flop in this version though a newly introduced concept. Make it better $ony

HA! I knew they'd do that. Statement from Sony as I see it:
Upgrade your PSP to firmware 3.0 and you won't not, not, never be needing a PS3 to download PSX games. Guaranteed!!
If I didn't know better I'd say they were TRYING to get the homebrew community to beat them.

[Sharkey]

I went to Sonys site but all they had was the 2.82 fw, where's 3.0 downloaded from? I have a couple psps so I don't mind upgrading the one, I wouldn't otherwise.

Think of it like this, if the psp now has a psx emulator with this upgrade, it can be taken from the upgrade and used by somebody like Dark_alex, it will be done over time.

Sony aint done too well beating hackers in the past yeh!!!

[Roxas]

I say upgrade y would i want 2 psp with homebrews,il upgrade my 2.8 n stay with my 1.5....


Edit#1. If u guys the "H@cl<3rs" outther crack 3.0 dont releases anything yet,since sony is not releasing the "Ps1 Emu" they want to patch things they miss by u guys hacking onto it, to increase the size of it.

I doubt it. Remember how he said there wasn't much room on flash0 after the 2.71SE was made, this would mean that he will need to shave a few things off to get a 3.0SE going. From the sound of it, Sony added a bunch of useless crap like remote play (honestly, you're actually going to update to control your PS3 wirelessly even though you have a wireless controller? ok it displays crap on the screen, woop-de-freakin'-do), the crappy "PS1 emu" (not really an emu now is it?), disabled auto-boot (many of us wanted it, no reason to upgrade for it though), and added video support.

Wow, I think I'll update now so I can get a bunch of crap I won't use for atleast 2 years because Sony decides hype is better than actual sales at launch. Don't say it was production failures and crap like that, Sony could have put more money into production and put more PS3's out. Price isn't the reason I'm tired of Sony right now, price isn't even a point, but I just really am getting tired with them and how they are stiffing us with everything (lack of PS3's, lack of good launch titles, useless PSP updates, useless Sony brand name products, etc etc.)

well, that's only a theory, but Sony may fear that Hackers can crack FW3 and be able to use some prx to play ps1 games. In fact, since you need to download them they should be run only from a MS, so they may have decided not to do so but directly download a ps1 game in memory from a PS3 connection. If that's the case, Not only I suppose PSP shouldn't be called portable now but that way, it would be more difficult to hack ps1 game on PSP.

Well 0okm has already stated on his website blog that the 3.00 can already be dumped using the psardumper and there are indeed new prx's and he thinks they are related to the emulator in mind. Lets hope he has a way to exploit these files
