Firmware 3.30 now available on Network Update

***wraggster*** · March 28th, 2007, 06:44

Sony sneakily snuck out a new firmware upgrade for PSP: the first in almost two months. Here's the list of the improvements for this firmware revision:

Support for displaying thumbnails for items has been added under [RSS Channel].
Support for PLAYSTATION Network titles has been expanded.
The size of videos that can be played under [Video] has been increased.
Support for displaying thumbnails for content saved in the "VIDEO" folder of a Memory Stick has been added under [Video].

Update: For those without wi-fi access, the update can be downloaded here. Save it on your PSP under this directory: PSP/GAME/UPDATE. It does not appear as if full-resolution video has been fully unlocked. More details will certainly arise over the new few hours, so stay tuned.

Remember if you upgrade you lose homebrew.

So bets on how long until it's decrypted? A month? A week? Day? Hour(s)? Bets on whether or not Sony even used a different encryption algorithm?

Anyway, I find it rather unnearving how vague Sony is being so far. Release a firmware, then the changelog later? Or what if, God forbid, that's as detailed as Sony will end up being? It's really kind of scary.

I know it's going to sound kind of stereotypical, but I'm quite comfortable with my custom firmware. Why? Because except for Ratchet and Clank and MGS:Portable Ops, there haven't been any good games recently. I'm enjoying Final Fantasy IX in POPS, and I'm not really about to give that up. And a chance to catch up in MGS (I never played any of the original ones, so this seems like an opportune occasion to play them, even without a PlayStation).

I read over on qj.net another possible improvment in this firmware is.

option to set Disc-Load speed to Fast or Normal

I'm really interested in the PLAYSTATION network titles expansion.

Be it better compatibility, performance, or added features, I am hoping a lot has been added/improved.

Then, of course it would be great to have a 3.30 OE firmware.
