Sony are to release a new version of firmware for the PSP to combat the latest release of Custom Firmware by Dark Alex. Will this battle of firmwares and cracks ever stop. Not a chance in hell.

The Next round of battles is set to begin soon.

More info via pspfanboy:

The Korean PlayStation website has announced the arrival of yet another update to PSP's official firmware. However, unlike previous updates, this revision will actually remove some functionality from the system. We've translated the text--it appears "Certificate Utility" will no longer appear on the XMB. Rather, the information used to be available in this section will be embedded directly into the games downloaded from the PLAYSTATION Store. This is a rather minor, but puzzling change.

According to the Korean website, the firmware will be released tomorrow, 4/19.

Is it even possible for Sony to stop custom firmware? They make a new one, and no matter how much security they throw in, Dark Alex just uses the update file and we have OE. I say, keep it coming Sony.

Here is a quick run down of what could be in 3.40 at least what i got from max console (from my older post, in homebrew forums, just gonna put it here so we have the info in the same place =P):

all sources and posters of max console noted in quote.

calvanator of the max console forums:
"it says it increases psx compatibility, that is all."

dodswm of the max console forums:
"A decent translation of the changes are:

Quote:
Certificate Utility has been erased. It can now be accessed by pressing the triangle button and selecting information of the game chosen."

Well, I will tell myself not to say the next OE is coming. Keeping the pace with Sony is not good.

This much too frequent upgrading of firmware by Sony is already not good, anyway. We do not
urge Dark Alex to force himself as fast as
Sony, which is not good. Since the existing OE is perfect for all old games / good games I have
no reason for the newer version.

Thank Dark Alex for his great contributions, proving that he is wise. But I would not thank
him for competing with Sony for every .XX nonsense. Involving with an endless fight like that is
plain stupid.

I say wait is good. I am not desperate for some newer games yet. If I do, I can buy one brand
new / secondhand.
