PlayStation Portable 3.0 firmware features revealed and released

**darksoft** · November 21st, 2006, 17:06

I would strongly say that this 'combination' of ps3 to psp to play psx games is that the emulator is running on the PS3 not the psp and thus the games are no longer portable. They have you connect to the ps3 which is what connects to the sony store to download the psx games. I'd say this is just streaming the game screen and controls to the psp. I'm hoping I'm wrong though....

Basically if that was the case, you might as well wip out your ps1 and play the real thing on the real thing (or ps2)

WTF is Sony thinking trying to force PSP users into getting a PS3.... yeah it would make them more money if people actually did it.... but there's no reason most people would want to do it... especially since one of the big appeals of homebrew is that it is FREE!

This release is quite lame, the only way I could see them forcing PS3-PSP interchangablity with PS1 games is if you could rip your own PS1 games to the PS3 hardrive and then it sends them to the PSP... but this isn't anywhere close to that.... they didn't even release any good games! What a joke!

Lets put it this way,

If it is there, then it can be found.

Sony may think that they have thier fancy price gouged protection on thier precious ps1 emulator, but they dont know the genious of most of the world.

In sony's eyes = People = Sh!t

In our Eyes = Sony = Rich Sugar Daddy we dont really care about.

So I say let them keep giving these new features, and we will pray to those that can crack it. And Love them forever, in a totally non-homosexual way.

I bet they'll put out that PSP2 the day we get our hacking hands all over their PSone emu and start moving games around....

Do you really need a ps3 couldnt you just download th:confused em from the internet if a ps3 owner uploads them them and then just transfe them to the psp

Well, what homebrew adds a visualizer to the music player function? What homebrew modifies the music player in having multiple fast forward/rewind speeds? Also, has there been any homebrew that adds more audio and video codecs to the PSP's player?

Sure, more of the new features aren't worth sacrificing homebrew for, but if people use those features extensively, then most likely homebrew is of least interest to them.

I want to see a couple of things within the next few months:

*Decrypted 3.00 firmware
*A new devhook which supports up to 3.00.
*PS1 titles transferred from the PS3 will be decrypted and studied by coders.
*The unofficial emulators to be 90%+ complete
*A 'PS3 emulator' that will act as a 'entertainment system' server for the PSP. However there already a homebrew which can stream music.

The backdoor scene will aim to do the following:
*Coders will try and create an artificial Sony store/PS3 transfer protocol on the PC so the PSP will connect to it (relating this to Phantasy Star Online I&II on the Gamecube), thus capable of transferring PS1 titles from the PC to the PSP.
*PS1 titles will be pirated on the web.
*People will be using warez more and more to download original PS1 titles for the unofficial Playstation emulators
