Anyone try this out? Im thinking of just updating to this even tho no homebrews :(
i have 1.52 right now, and i dont know if i should update to this, or wait till it is officially released in NA. i mean, so i can update by using the NETWORK UPDATE function. If any1 tries this out, tell me if it is worth it. i would also like to know if it is faster than the Wipeout pure internet, and the other game one that was shown on this site
Believe me wait it out jason. I updated one of my PSPs which was a 1.5+ firmware so there was no point in not upgrading. It has an amazing browser, but I am certain the homebrew crews out there will strip it out and make it available for 1.0 and 1.5s. It’s better to wait, than update and find out that some very cool homebrew came out, ’cause then you can’t downgrade.
-Jimmy Dushku
I’m going to do it. I think. The language will be english right? Doesnt the psp translate it and stuff. Also it shouldnt harm my Psp becuase it comes from their official site, right?
I had version 1.51 firmware but decided to update for the new features. The broweser is alot faster than the wipeout one and alows you to save downloads to the memory stick. Version 2.0 is good if you dont mind giving up hombre games
so u did upgrade to 2.0, and it is very good? how fast is the internet, and is it worth it if i have a 1.52?
Ok i need help on how to do it…lol
Anyone know how to manually install the update?
is there any chance that the NA release of the upate will have different features?
and is it in english?
one more question, is this faster than the Tenchi no Mon Stand Alone browser?
hmmm should i or should i not??I heard for some of the new games u needed to update
they are prolly gonna make u have the newest version for the GTA: Liberty City Stories, just cuz they know everyone is gonna want that game
#10. there is always a work around, but if no one can get past the security features of future games then you should update.
-Jimmy Dushku
is there any possibility that the NA v2.0 will be any different/
I just tried to update, it wouldnt let me. It says “Error 901280 process could not be run) or something like that. My psp is U.S though.
Did u do exactly as the instructions said?
I just installed 2.0 and it is really worth it.
is it on a US psp?
do you need a PCI or a router to surf the web ? or is it all wire less & free no computer needed at all to surf the web ?
Its pretty easy. With the usb cord, make a file under game reading upadte, and paste the eboot file ther. Then when you use your psp, look under game, and it’ll be there. Pretty sure i got it right, unless the file was bad, which i doubt
it doesnt matter where your psp is from. i upgraded my US psp about 8 hours ago and im using it to type this right now =]
Oh it was posted above, didnt see that :)
Do you think they’re going to start shipping 2.0 PSPs in the us or keep shipping 1.5? I need to know if I must hurry and buy up a 1.5 while I can.
well worth the update adding wall paper and changing theme color is cool still have to try the browser
the update is great I really like it n im using the bowser 2 leave this comment… its pretty fast but sometimes it would take a bit 2 load the page but not 2 long…. I think anyone wit version 1.51/1.52 should update
i just got it it is really cool i can change the background color there is like 12 and u can keep them when the month changes, the 1nternet is fast i like it so down load it… now
update!!! it is fricken awsome!!! it kills the Dumb 2-d games!!!! UPDATE!!!
i love this
!
!!!!!
What one do you guys think is beter Tenchi no Mon Stand Alone Browser or the 2.0 browser? (cuz im thinking of updating)
HOW DO I MAKE MY PHOTOS INTO WALL PAPER???
i went to theme and it said to set as wallpaper but i dont see that….
its soo tempting to update gahhhi hav 1.5 and dunno waht to do
can you msn on the internet with online msn and stuff e-messenger.net and then online msn!!!!!!!!
I guess if u have 1.50 , then better not to upgrade
just wait for the ‘fix’
I personally am waitin until they release emulators for 2.0.
THEN I’ll DL 2.0.
Hey, they did it for 1.5, why not 2.0?
but if u think about it… to have homebrew on 2.0 will take a very very long time. they dont even have it on 1.5+
IS IT IN ENGLISH???
told me battery was low, try again. my psp was at 48% and plugged in. i’m going to try again when it reaches around 90%.
so how do i do the background thing with my pictures
??
Blah…I caved in…and updated to 2.0 :P
HELP ME…. it wont work on my US psp i need help….
it still wont work any1 out there plz help me….
As of right now I downloaded the 2.0 update from the Offical PSP site & put it on my PSP. Everything so far has been in ENGLISH, so for those of you asking about that, yes everythings in english. The update just finished and I am about to check out the web browser and tell you guys how good it is.
Is this english or only jap? I thot its supposed to be jap, but now they say this upgrade and say nothin about it being only jap. I have a 1.5 and a 1.51 so io want to upgrade tha shirt 1.51
UPDATE
————–
The browser is extremly easy to use. Its all Enlish and its really fast. The 2.0 Update is great and I would recommend people to update their PSPs.
I think I’ll stick with 1.5. Sony’s evil candy will not tempt me away from homebrew.
i need help any1 willing to help me :(
AAC DOES NOT WORK.
Ahhh!
Yeah you can run e-messenger i used msn messenger off there and started bragging to my mates mwahaha, i think the net browser works really well, you can download mp3s off of websites and save them directly to the music folder
It’s perfect, you would never know it wasn’t the US version. Everything is in English.
To install, DL the update
Connect your PSP via USB
Open the PSP/Games folder
Create a new folder called UPDATES (all caps)
put the file in there.
Run it fromt he game option.
Make sure you have the power cable plugged in and let it go
yit takes my memory but wont update wth this is so stupid … i need help
it takes my memory but wont update wth this is so stupid … i need help
Make sure you have it save in UPDATE [make sure it is caps or else it won't work]
Do everything #50 said but don’t put a S on UPDATE
why is every one arguing people with 2.0 should be happy they have a browser that they will get bored of and can only use when their home or at a hotspot and 1.5 can look forward to the n64 and PSX emulators in the works, for all of those 2.0s who say that games are going to require 2.0 to play there’s already a loader that can get around this?
Oh and the PSPs been out for like 8 months in JAP and this is the first update that Is any good , so expect a bunch of 2.50s and 2.51security updates before Sony even considers doing anything else worthwhile!
i tried wat u said claudius but it still wont work
do you need broad band to down load 2.0 or will it down load on dialup
i have a US psp i tried downloading it it wont work soo i geusse my question is will it work on US psp’s
what is the website that you download it from?
yeah ill just wait on a hack for 2.x before i do that i enjoy playing ,nes,snes,sega,and gameboy on, and soon n64 and ps1 hah! like id update
what is the website that you download it from??
Umm now could we download aps with the new browser? It would be cool to install aim on it or something.
i got it today, it’s pretty cool, but i haven’t accessed a hotspot yet, so i don’t no if it works good or not
AAC doesn’t work…Lies, lies, lies!
For those of you asking if the update works on US PSPs.
The update WORKS for US BASED PSPS. I already installed it and everything works perfectly fine and is in all english. The browser is very fast and easy and the theme thing is pretty cool.
dont care about surfing the net on my psp id rather have neogeo cd then some lame web browser and over 15 retail games
Ok so solidious sence it works on US psp’s … can u tell me where to download it from and how to instal it plz…
what is the website that you download 2.0 from
Anyone else in here
who’s signed up for the
“p-tv” service?
Haven’t “nuked” my psp
with the new firmware yet,
though I’m curious what
that new video codec quality
is like.
As for N64/PSX emulation,
I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
The PSP can barely play
SNES games at decent speed,
no matter how it’s tweaked.
___________________________
Hey, SONY!
Where’s the e-mail/
messaging client!?
what website do u dl it from
not until I got neo geo cd emulation running, was a great emulator, awsome graphics, much better than snes. homebrew all the way!
so where is the site where u can dl music and go on aim?
#69 man some of u people cant read or what i u read the article and scrolld to the bottom u would see the links to download.
I BOUGHT MY PSP TO PLAY GOOD GAMES NO OLD NINTENDO GAMES. I CAN GET AN EMULATOR ON MY PC BIG DEAL. IT DOESNT BOTHER ME AT ALL. I SAY IN WITH THE NEW OUT WITH THE OLD.
For those of you who had 1.5 or below and updated… you people are truly idiots. First of all, you can get the Tenchi no mon browser. Secondly, ITS ONLY A BROWSER!! Who cares if it’s fancy? i doubt you’ll use it that much. I’m 99% sure that the browser on your PC is much better. So whats the point? I’d rather play my fave snes games than download a browser that can… browse. So you people who had 1.5 and upgraded, shame on you.
I had 1.52 on my psp so I did 2.0 upgrade why not.
Nothing wrong with updating if you have 1.51 or 1.52, I guess. But there’s also the possibility that they’ll crack those firmwares but not 2.0. But there’s also the possibilty that they’ll crack all of them. But if you have a 1.5 PSP, I recommend that you keep it that way.
u lot who dnt update r crazy the browser is excellent and id rather update cause u can send an recieve file and all da other sh**
Umm.. ever heard of IrDA? It’s a homebrew application that can send and receive files. You can also manage your files will File Assistant. So I don’t see what the big deal is. And besides, I don’t upgrade not just because of emus, but because of other homebrew like UMD Loaders and the Sony Remote Control. lol Once I fooled around with Sony TVs in a store. My friends and I were laughing our asses off. It’s things like that, that make me love homebrew.
ya but if I do update will I still be able to use the UMD loaders?..
u can download V2.0 at psp.ign.com…or on this website retards!!!!!!!….now someone answer my question can i download 2.0 frm the netwrk update section on my psp??..
No you wont be able to use loaders if you update.
Who cares if theres a browser released? Still doesn’t make it worth it.
WHAT WEBSITE CAN U DOWNLOAD IT FROM…. I CANT SEE THE DOWLOAD POINT ON THIS WEBSITE
wooohooo yay
It’s right on top of the comments.
Maybe someone’ll be able to take the 2.0 browser and place it on 1.5 psp’s.
2.0 has the same security as 1.52
why are so many people talking trash about people doing what they want with their psp ? if you don’t want to use it the way it is designed to be used, don’t. if you do, do. it’s not that hard to keep your mouth shut either way.
2.0 sounds great…but the only thing it can offer that 1.5 cant is a new icon which is the internet.. other than that you can browse the internet with the Tenchi no Mon Stand Alone browser and change backgrounds with the pspersonalize… basicly if you have (1.50) DONT UPGRADE!!
this is fucking sweet I just went to launch.com to try to download some music, but before I could do It, a screen popped up and said I needed to have a more current browser, and It asked me If I wanted to download It, and I said yes and it actually let me download it son now I have netscape browser 8.0.3.1 I’m about to see what advantages this browser has over the other one.
NO AAC. Suck.
this browser rocks! update! im using it now.
This is the Honest Truth and i am being blunt with you all. All of you people posting messages on here telling people to (UPDATE TO 2.0 OMFG IT RULEZ!!!!! OLD GAMES SUCK) blah blah blah , the real reason some of you say this is because you are to stupid to get an EBOOT.pbp file running on your psp. Go ahead and flame me for saying that , but it’s the honest truth if you can’t read simple instructions on how to make the stuff run , then by all means YOU NEED TO UPDATE , the homebrew scene doesn’t need your stupidity.
The only difference that we will have on this site now is instead of seeing everyone type… (HAVE THEY CRACKED 1.51 & 1.52 YET????) all of you will now say (WHEN ARE THEY GONNA CRACK 2.0) and some of you downloaded this for a web browser and an added wallpaper feature? i don’t know about you guys but PSPersonalize works just fine for my backgrounds , and i am typing on a home computer with an internet browser already , so 2.0 is worthless unless you have 1.51 or 1.52 already. Or if you are 12 and wanna showoff to some friends at school or something.
AlWAYS REMEMBER: Respect the old games , for without the old none of you would be playing Halo right now. :)
If any of you want the UMD/ISO Loader that is supposed to be coming out soon …. then DO NOT UPDATE IT WILL NOT WORK!!
This’ll be what gets shipped with EU PSPs so i can see 2.0 having a lot of effort going into cracking it. =P
fyi #87 if you read on the official site it says that they had security updates in 2.0 that means you gotta wait for 1.51, 1.52, AND THEN 2.0 to be cracked, and i dunno if i should update, im too poor for 1 gb memory cards, hell im too poor for another 32 mb memory card so i should update, i woudlnt be able to play psx nor n64 too lil memory dont you think, and i got drugs to give me joy, not games, i love my lsd, and weed muahahahahhaa
I do respect the old game but its like buying a xbox 360 and play atari games on it. What fun in that can wait ooooooo! I rather play Halo 3 or MVP or Leisure suit Larry LOL
So… if i have 1.50 i should not update… and why not?
god my grammer is horrible. I should proof read sometime
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP ON HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK
I got it working. Using PSP to host. Also be sure to make update fiLe in all lower case,
you can hack 1.50 to play old nintendo games and stuff like that. It is all up to you. you can still have all the same options but you will be running more hacked stuff
go to this page if you cant figure it out you need to learn. It has pic diagram.
OK HOW DO I ACCESS THE INTERNET , BECAUSE IT SAYS A NEW INTERNET START-UP IS ADDED INTO SECURITY SETTINGS, BUT ITS NOT THERE, HOW DO I ACCESS THE INTERNET, ON THE NEW BROWSER.
my psp keeps saying the game could not be started when i launch the update, can anyone help?!
http://www.psp-hacks.com/2005/07/27/psp-20-firmware-update/
the web browser kicks ass, you can download mp3s and all that great stuff it is very well worth it to upgrade i highly recommend it!
Well if you jumped the gun when you bout you psp and updated to .51 or .52 then upgrade. This browser smokes the wipeout browser. This one has a mouse and the pages fit on you screen you don’t have to scroll all over. The speed is ok but for the most part if you have v.51 or .52 then update. ITS COOL
YO I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO LOAD THIS UPDATE AND IT KEEPS SAYING THAT THE GAME COULD NOT BE STARTED WITH AN ERROR CODE 80….SOMETHING WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!
#108
Connect your PSP to your PC via USB cable.
Go to the directory /PSP/GAME/ in your memory stick.
Create a sub-directory named “UPDATE� (MUST be uppercase)
Copy the downloaded EBOOT.PBP file into this directory (/PSP/GAME/UPDATE).
Disconnect the PSP from the PC
Go to “Game� -> “Memory Stick� on your PSP
Browse to the Update file and load it.
ehhh i dun know what to do so ya……….faster internet on psp or keep my 1.50 version and still play final fantasy 4-6……..i dun know damit what should i do………
i have to say this update is pretty decent. i headed over to this park near my house where i get about ten wi-fi connections and this works alot better than the wipe out pure browser. i like this update.and besides this firmware will be hacked like all the others.
yes u need a wireless router for the web browser i just updated because i had 1.51 it rocks it gives me my 1.5 features back (beside running emus and homebrew games)
Dont all of you see??Sony is going to make money off of the homebrew scene.They see what people want through homebrew then sony takes it and patents it….smart move sony
see now homebrew is fine and all but an emu is all that is really needed. the rest sony should give us anyway. i mean when do we get to use the ir port for more than one use?
for those saying “i have an internet browser on my computer, so 2.0 is useless”…
well i have emulators on my computer, so i guess that makes homebrew useless, eh?
This update is great! The web browser works really nice. I think it’s worth to update to V2.0 :)
The Web Browser works pretty good! I’m glad my PSP didn’t crash & burn…
I’m not updating mine until it deems nesseccary.
Hell, the only games I’ll get in the future are Armored Core, GT4, and Ys6. :P
But for now…
OLD SCHOOL > YOU.
if you update on a different memory card….can you put in the 1.5 mem stick and it will still run the games?
Great update.. I recommend it
when is the us version of 2.0 supposed to come out
Tenchi no Mon Stand Alone browser IS ON THIS SITE!!
Get that and fuck 2.0!!
Want new backgrounds…. pspersonalize) can achive this no problem… thats basicly all your getting with 2.0.. execpt once you get 2.0 you’ll have everything that you can have with 1.5 exept all the APP’S HOMEBREW.. AND ALL THE NEW HOMEBREW THATS COMING… SORRY 2.0 FAGS.. YOU FUCKED UP!
damn WPA-TKIP, guess I’m getting 2.0
whens the us version 2.0 coming out???….i can only download it frm the netwrk update on my psp cuz my comp sucks!!!!..man!! im jealous of u guys that already have V2.0!!!!!!!..bastards!!
It’s statements like #121, that make me glad I updated my 1.5 to 2.0, I mean homebrew is really nice, and I appreciate all the work that goes into it, but is there some homebrew out there that is so freaking awesome that it will leave those with 2.0 with update regrets?
Hey! I am gonna update for sure. But I have to update at the library. The computers are so damn slow. Yet when I just go to Network Update it goes really fast over my psp. But right now all Network Update on the psp offers is 1.52v When will it offer 2.0v over the Network Update?
As a response to comment #114, what you are saying isn’t completely true. If you are in the car, you can’t just start browsing, but you can play emus.
By updating to 2.0 you are missing out on a lot. For all you 2.0, I’m sure that you’ll soon stop using the browser. I thought that the wipeout pure browser was incredibly cool at first, but then I got bored of it. The same thing will happen with the 2.0 browser, you’ll just stop using it. One thing I haven’t stopped using is the snes emulator. That thing will last a million times longer than some mere browser. Sure you can get emus on the PC, but emus on the PSP allow you to just start playing regardless of your location (unless you’re on a roller coaster or something lol). So for all you v2.0 users, I hope you’re happy, because you have a browser, and that’s all you’re gonna get.
Man im keeping 1.50 because I dl psp games. I dont need a web browser that i will never use.
Man, I would rather have what Sony has to offer then a bunch of hackers. I mean come on. I do enjoy homebrews. Hell, I was even into them back in the early 90’s. i bought a Cybiko computer and had a blast with them. But the ones I have played for psp just havn’t been doing it for me. I mean…they’re old, junk games. Why not take advantage of what I multi million dollar companiy is creating for you instead of breaking the law. If homebrews are what your into then stay 1.0 and 1.5 but if you want some qaulity shit go to 2.0. Thats that. If you are so sad about loosing a lame ass nes game, then keep it. But I just dont see the big deal when you can go work for 6 hours and buy a state of the art game that will bring you 10 times more fun.
Those thinking of going out and buying 1.5psp there are about 100,000+ in circulation ATM in the US!
As for me updating not sure yet…. 1.5 and 2.0 have their pro’s and con’s!
It is bassically the person choice and fuck all the flamers!
Bye the way, for all you law breaking kiddos out there after homebrew… it’s not bad. Everyone does it now or then. it’s the same as downloading music. But I promise. I promise…within 3 months someone will crack 2.0 and there will be homebrews.
i did what the instructions told me to do exactly. unless making a sub directory is something besides making a new folder. can someone tell me what im doing wrong?
So until then, I’m not going to update.
Okay cant someone just edit the eboot and give us all the features we get in this update but without the security in it?
somebodys mad^^
men i have version 1.52 and i wanted to downgrade but dont know how so i might justdowload it and have fun surfing da internet were ever….yea!!!!
Aaron,
How old are you? 12?
Let me explain something. Homebrew is cool, do not get me wrong. However you are attacking people based on your use of the PSP. I upgraded to 2.0 also. I love the browser, the background ability, sharing photos (my coworker and I tried and it works). I do not play homebrew because there is nothing out of any benefit to me. If I want to play 8 bit games I will bust out my old game systems from storage. Oh and by the way, have you used the browser yet? It is very fast. You can save files from the web too. I think you may change your mind if you tried it. But ultimately what I am trying to say is we all use the PSP for many different things. It has versatility to fit any personality for their needed functionality. Thanks.
OK FINE DUDE! IM NOT 12.. IM ACTULLY A PROGRAMMER AND ALL IM SAYING IS ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE PEOPLE LIKE ME FEEL AS IF WE DO WHAT WE DO FOR NO REASON! 2.0 IS FINE BUT IF EVERYBODY UPGRADES THEN THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME TO CREATE NEW HOMEBREW… EXECPT TRYING TO CRACK 2.0 FOREVER UNDER
PEOPLE’S REQUEST (PEOPLE LIKE YOU)
are you able to watch videos on this browser or no??
i have 2 psps so i upted one its sweet easy to set walpapers and the browser is nice but if you only have one not worth it stick with home brew
First of all guys, its true, the European Versions of PSP will all be coming out with 2.0 software. i’m sorry to belittle anyone here, but There are hackers in Europe, mainly russia, that will rip right through this and crack 2.0 in a matter of hours i’m sure. Then again, maybe i’m wrong, but i’m almost certain i’m not. GO 2.0!!!!!
programmer or not! There is no reason to flame anyone in here for what they dicied to do with the psp…
Your wrong hombrew will continue with the psp for as long as it survives (psp2,ect.)
Its people like you who make people like me want to pull my gun out and shoot people like you in the head!
Damn Flamers
i have 2 psp so one for homebrew and one for web so i got no problems
i am reading allthe comments on my psp right now the update is helpful to some of us.
I installed the 2.0 update on my PSP and I can reallt honestly say it is a good update. The browser is fast and and clear to read, there’s a number of options for the browser for configuration purposes, I even downloaded a couple of wallpapers from this site via the PSP, it prompts which dir to download to (for pix and vids). As for homebrew, I don’t care because I updated b4 knowledge of homebrew. At the end of the day, I will enjoy the browser on it when my wife is hogging the PC. I encourage the download and applaude Sony for taking the this step in offering this much content in a free update and for killing the handheld console wars.
yUPiI iNstAlleD The 2.0 AnD iT ruLes!!!
AAC doesn’t work….Hello? AAC DOESN’T WORK.
IT DOES WORK FOR THE US PSP!!!! SO ANY NEWBS LOOKIN FOR AN ANSWER HERE IT, IS YES IT DOES WORK FOR THE US PSP.
yawn im keepin my homebrews there way better than the internet on psp. you know y cause you all got computers and we can all go on the internet duh. anyways homebrew you can play the final fantasy games so haha 2.0 users. and by the way thay might make better emulators in the near future like a PS2 emulator. im stickin with my 1.50 psp.
What is AAC because a couple people keep sayin that. like #146. It might be a stupid question but i dont know.
OH nm I know wat it is now. Advanced Audio Coding
how can i scroll down the web page on my psp? does anybody know
Hold Square and use the d pad or analog stick
Thanks MAN
IT IS ALL IN ENGLISH!
i’m sorry, but i saw so many posts about that.
Everything works and is in english!
Anyone who is at 1.5.1 or 1.5.2 i would suggest you update, and people using 1.50 i would say stay for a little while. The added ability to choose a background picture and having a (really nice) web browser are both nice, but homebrews are fun as well.
-TC
wat the fuk is advanced audio coding??
hey on october 16 or whatever, wen gta coems out, im almost positive its gonna require 2.0, so why wait, just update now and put ur snes games away… u played them wen u wer kids and thats the way they should stay
DUMB ASS PEOPLE IM NOT PLAYING SNES ON MY 1.5 IM PLAYING TENCHU RIDGE RACER AND OTHERES FOR FREE ill never upgrade and you can boot real umds with out updating anyways and gta isnt intill oct 24th ill wait to see what happens
i suggeest you to update those homebrews a re bad thing , this hmobrews fried my 256 mb mmemory stick so update now
How long is it sopposed to take to install or update. Mine has been at 99% for quite some time now.
the psp browser doesnt get pop ups rite?
The ONLY way gta or other future games will REQUIRE an update is if sony implemented api changes in 2.0 and the game requires it. If it simply does a firmware check without any api checks, you can just use one of the many umd run apps for 1.5/1.0 consoles. AFAIK the kernel is identical and they dont have plans on changing that, and thats all that matters for checks. Just load umd run, bypass the check, and play your game. Oh, and you can easily change your background on 1.5/1.0 so thats another reason not to switch.
The 2.0 update is worth it… how do I know? Bcuz I am on my PSP typing this comment. I have a custom background at 880 X 544 rez. I can also download anything on my PSP. I can’t run them but at least I can save them.
Even though we still don’t have java or flash support the overall update is awsome.
Since I have updated I have totally forgotten about HBapps.
I hope you all consider updating to 2.0!
IF YOU DON’T YOU’RE A MORON!
If you love dangerous and illegal HBapps fine… We don’t care!
how do you make pics into your wallpaprer??
Wow 162 you are out of the loop. EVERYTHING on 2.0 is already on 1.5 as well as homebrew, loaders, emulators, etc. Have fun with your 2.0 while I’m playing nesterj on my 1.5 :).
For the guy saying AAC DOESN’T WORK – try changing the extension of these files to .MP4
I can look at porn sites just fine with my 1.5 PSP. ^_^ No 2.0 for me!! At least not until they crack it.
for # 163 you need to make the size image 300X170 & it can be a jpeg,bitmap tiff or what ever 2.0 can support once you see the picture press {triangle} & then check in the menu for set up as wallpaer & thats all
lol @ 166
164 (AceMilo):
Wow… do you realize that Playing those games on your PSP is Illegal? Did you know ROMS are illegal as well? thats why it says you can only hold each rom for 2 days. If you keep them for longer you will be charged for it… As soon as the “Internet Police” find out what you have been doing.
Oh and the web browser on the Wipeout Pure game is a beta Web browser that does’nt really support certain HTML, Flash, Javascript and Meta Tags like on this new update so to speak.
Why would anyone want to play Nesterj on their PSP anyways? I would rather play those High Quality Games rather than going back to 6 bit games… And I would rather be able to just start playing GTA LCS rather than waiting for the update to download… I didn’t know there was homebrew for PSP untill I saw the Forums… but even that was before Update 1.51… After My 256 MB Memory Stick got fried i said “FUCK HOMEBREW! (yes i was one of those unlucky people myself…) It cost’s to much!” (even though it was a free download… it still costed me 35 bux for the 256 Memory Stick…) So i updated to 1.51 then 1.52 and then i saw PSPersonalize… and PSPKick… 2 programs that would have been cool but I had already gotten something similar… as of now at least. Update 2.0 and Fruityloops on my computer (Music sampling/cuting/splicing/editing/transmognifying/MP3encoding software… PSP kick can do what ever… I’ll have FL Studio instead!
Loaders are Illegal as well… Maybe I should tell SONY that you support Pirating and get fined over $25,000.00 (this is just a guess… if you get caught for pirating Music it is a 25,000.00 fine as well for each song… Pirating is Illegal, wrong and dangerous!)
Also they have not tested the so called “Firmware Checker Bypasser” program yet and I have yet to see it work… Untill then FUCK HOMEBREW!
And if it has OH WELL! so what I don’t want to turn my PSP into another GameBoy! thats why i have one in the first place! TO PLAY GB GAMES! and pretty much every other system as well…
163 (Havok):
Its easy to make any picture as your wall paper… Just put any image into the folder named “PHOTO” and go onto your psp and view the Photo. Now hit Triangle and hit the left arrow once.. The option is called “Set as Wallpaper” and the option icon looks like an Arrow pointing to a white oval with little dots in it.
161 (AceMilo again…):
PSPersonalize can only implement BMP files at the size: 300X 170. thats really small… even text that small looks fuzzy on the PSP when you look at it… Now I have a picture (as stated before) at 880 X 544 and its in GIF format… looks crystal clear and has no fuzz at all…
Also.. added audio features so we can cram more music into our Memory Sticks…. I still have not seen any HBapp that allows you to play MP4 files… not even DivX Movies…
So do us all a favor and let people who want to update update… and let those who don’t want to update not update and have their PSP screwed over by an application that isn’t supposed to be run on the PSP and be sued from it by some crazy developer of the game he tried to load…
I think SONY is on the right track with these Updates… you just don’t want to give up 2d do you? Get in gear and GO! STOP STALLIN!
160: You do get pop ups but they display as a new page and you can choose wether or not to see them by Holding square and hitting L button or R button.
158: I agree…
157: I agree…
156: Not sure if it is true… but I can wait…
148: have fun playing 2d games and trying to get that emulator to work… I don’t think its going to happen but what ever…
137: MAN CALM DOWN! people make hacks for a reason but its not likely that everyone will like it… you make it sound like there is a hidden prie for being the best hacker out there for PSP… Make what you want and leave us in peace… if others are buggin you to crack something just tell them MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN CRACK! and they’ll finally understand all those little codes you go through just to make your PSP say WHATS UP! when you turn it on!
to everyone else with 1.5 … even 1.0:
Security updates are there for a reason…. That reason is to protect your PSP from well known Computer viruses being sent into your PSP Via USB Cable… you might just be that 1 out of 100 people who will get that virus that turns your PSP into a shiny new black virus machine…
Its not because homebrew is utterly illegal and dangerous… its because SONY wants to make sure their product stays safe and makes you happy… even if you can’t run homebrew… SO SHUT UP! STOP WHINING AND JUST KEEP YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO YOURSELF!
do i need an access point to brows ? crap i bien asking this a long time look in that history sheesh
169 who the hell are you? are u some annoying kid at school that taddle tells on everyone?
169, why even come here anyways? this is a website for hacks. if u hate hacks so much go somewhere else.
hello…… do i need an access point to brows ? crap i bien asking this a long time look in that history sheesh crap man forget that guy/kid whatever its impossible for a fine on this website this website dose not have any illegal things such as ROMz & or serial numbers so whats the point go sue bill gates
fight the real ENEMY !!
lol
what do i need to use the web browser ?
he sure is and i think he needs a diaper change :) lol hehe
look this “Update” isn’t a hack… people come to these sites in search of the update and everyone on here is scarin them from updating… I say Update to Update and don’t update if you dont want to…
And I try to keep my self clean and away from trouble with authorities… So who are you to judge me? I don’t judge people because they have an opinion… I only give out facts aboutr peoples opinions… If you notice on there I did not judge anyone.. I gave out facts and important information that most people would “Overlook”
So don’t tell me who I am just because you are nothing but a “Bad Judger” most people on this site are cool smart and fun to hang around… but when an update comes around everyone seems to pick on the others… so I’m here to say STOP HATIN! did you see any hatred toward an individual in my post’s? NO! and i don’t think you ever will… “This is a site for hacks”
Oh yeah then whats an update doing on it if it isn’t a ‘hack’? its an update… something that the company put out for their users to keep them safe…. from outside bugs and viruses… Thats why no one has gotten to get their PSP running at an overlocked speed… and overclocking is dangerous too…
as i said before:
Let those who want to update update and those who do not want to update… DOn’t update and get their PSP’s screwed over by a Virus…. See you guys in the line of “Returns”
I think its the best thing ever i just upgraded like 10 min ago. its the easiest thing ever.
im on my psp right now. we need a java version of aol instant messanger that the psp will support! 2.0 SO COOL!!! >_
psp is psp… rather you upgrade or not at the end of the day you say i’v got the best handheld out and the newest on the market! 2.0 or not psp is a great universal tool that no matter the firmware you can always enjoy and find things to do with it. do what you want… its yours!
crap i feel so ignored …………o well i guess i cant web surf on my psp
hey guys did you knowtest the loading thing mutch more faster ?
i have coded arms & the loading stop at 2% & then quick to 15% & then 40% & then 95% & i was playing i knowtest the loading kinda speed up was it the update ?
another thing i dont see the divition pixel on the floor any more thats another thing i dont see any game pixels its really cool i like 2.0 update YAY SONY but do you need an access point to web surf ? :/
yes you do… on your PSP SCAN for an SSID then connect to it… that simple
you need either a:
1. Wireless Network Adapter
2. Linksys Wireless G Router (xlink kai for playing ad hoc games online)
3. Linksys Network Card
181: agree’d
thanks verry mutch # 185 i woner how far is the range on the Wi-Fi
@169 You seriously must be joking. First of all I was talking about the tenchi browser, which from what I hear, is superior to the sony browser. Second, there are NO good psp games, period, they are all crap. I would MUCH rather play 8bit nes games that are 100000x more fun than the crappy psp games that are out. I feel sorry for anyone that updated a 1.5.
Oh, and before I forget, that comment you made about “security updates” and viruses was the FUNNIEST thing I ever read in my life! First of all, you honestly believe sony when they say that? Its THEIR security not yours. All they did was close exploitable bugs, nothing more. If you honestly thing a PC virus can infect your psp that runs on a COMPLETELY different system and can’t run exe, com, bat, or any other pc executable, than you are truly one of the most ignorant ppl I have ever come across in my life, and thats no bull. You bought right into sony’s bs. Do you know anything about computers and technology in general? It honestly sounds like you are talking out of your ass. I feel bad for you, I really do.
To everyone else reading this, please if you have 1.5, DO NOT UPGRADE! Homebrew/emulators/loaders unlock the true power of the psp and what it is really good for. Psp games SUCK, they are all rehashes and half assed games. Will there be good games? Sure, eventually, but right now there is no need. The only reason to upgrade would be if they implement api changes, which they haven’t, and any firmware checks can be bypassed easily. Unlike what 169 says, they have been tested and work 100%, don’t listen to him, he is an ignorant person who refuses to take the time to put 5 min of effort into running homebrew.
You should take your own advice and shut up with the negative comments about 1.5.
Wow.. the techni browser! OH MY GOD I WANT IT… wait a minute… no i don’t its all in japanese and can’t read anything when an option comes up… WOW you really believe that you cannot get a virus from your computer? think again… Call up the tech support line and ask them if it is possible to get a virus on the PSP… the answer is yes because the system runs on Bios and a virus can easily change anything in the system bios if there is an active connection between the computer and the PSP… the virus runs on the Computer and communicates the changes to the PSP via the USB cable… I am not as ignorant and judgemental as you are… look at yourself judgeing me… I’m probably older than you… you wouldn’t understand maturity untill you hit it…. and you’ll know when you have fully matured…
I put more than 5 minutes on home brew… I had 2 PSP’s at one time… 1 that i had Imported from Japan and one that I got for free from a website deal (USA version). I ran the PSP hello world and it fried my Memory stick. then after I bought a new memory Stick I tried another homebrew only to find it boring… SNES9 is boring! you can go ahead and play those 8 bit pieces of crap and support Nintendo on the PSP.
And you telling people to NOT UPGRADE just makes you look like more of an asshole… in fact you are probably one of those Modders yourself… wait you don’t even know what it takes to make a crack do you? its not easy and it can get painful. I liked homebrew for the long 10 minutes i had it before i said fuck it…
So stop being a stupid idiot and let the people decide instead of you getting in their face telling them not to update… its up to the user wether or not he wants to keep his PSP safe or not… OK!? we know your opinion and I am just one of the people who says “What ever… be an idiot for all i care… it doesnt effect me at all…”
Now grow a brain and turn off your computer so other people won’t have to get mad at you because they can’t update…
You know a good reply to your post can be summed up in three little words: Go fuck yourself!
you fuckers dont get it i dont update because you can dl full psp and not pay the high prices get it through your head!!!hahaha
yo 190:
Thats illegal… if Sony finds out you did it they can sue you… don’t do it unless you have 25,000.00 dollars to just give to the government…
HEY I AM HAVING TROUBLE. HOW DO YOU BOOKMARK. IT WILL NOT LET ME DO IT. IT SAYS “SAVE FAILED” I DONT KNOW WHAT IS UP
lets just leave comment and not hate.
[]Black Magic[], u said > why so pissed? dont call people idiots.
and AceMilo, i’m with you, but take it easy guys. poor D BOY got ignored because of your fighting.
everybody else – listen to #181
“did you see any hatred toward an individual in my post’s? NO! and i don’t think you ever will…”
did anyone notice its not working must be cause i have the us version
I don’t hate… I neutralize… and 193… I only get mad when someone scares other people with false facts… I bring up real cold hard facts so people get the truth… and thank you 194…
To everyone else my statement still stands… Update if you want to… don’t update if you don’t want to… it is up to the user wether or not to update
hi there. i just got a 1.5 psp today and i want 2.0. i dont know all of the technical terms, so where would be the best place to look for instructions? thanks.
READ THIS HOLE F**KING FORUM THAT WILL TELL YOU. YOU ARE ABOUT THE 50TH PERSON TO ASK. NEXT!
Quote 188 “You seriously must be joking. First of all I was talking about the tenchi browser, which from what I hear, is superior to the sony browser.”
Really you heard that? Where did you hear that?
B\c i have used them both and the tenchi browser doesnt come close!
2.0 browser is faster in everyway… The inital load, load times to websites even closing the browser is faster!
I make a list of options (if i miss anything fill it in plz)
-Open links in dif. tabs upto 3 Tabs.
-Save linked targets(to exactly where you want it on the MS)
-Save images(also you can edit the name of the file before saving it.)
-View Page info
-Display Certificate
-Refresh, Go Back, Go Forward, Home, Favorite, History Buttons
-Change display modes (Normal, Just Fit, Smart-Fit)
-Edit Text size and Encoding
-Cookies and Cache(you can also delete them)
-Mouse pointer :)
this is what i can think of off the top of my head! :p.
Thank you 200!
See? Why settle for less when you can have more? Looks like that AceMilo doesn’t know what he is talking about…. oh well not my problem…
I say Update… or don’t update… its not my descision….
Hey 188, cut out that “I feel sorry for anyone who updated a 1.5″ bullshit. Why are you feeling sorry because people who made a legitimate choice, you are in no way affected by these people making their own choices, fuck off.
Under Settings
-Set Homepage(enter address, use current)
-View Settings (image display,animation display and javascript)
-Cache Settings 512kb, 1024kb, or 2048kb.
-Proxy Server Settings (Address and Port number)
-Cookies Settings (allow all or confirmation when site attempts to save or block all.)
Btw Black Np I do agree with you on almost everything you said :p.
I hate Flamers Btw Facts are the best too!
Guys I got my psp for my bday yesterday and I set it up and being the guy who worries I updated it to 1.5, then I read about all the homebrew (I was mainly interested in pspersonalize and overclocking;) I was like oh shit! but then I went and installed 2.0 and I personally love it…
I gave up homebrew also,
and updated to 2.0.
No, it’s not that great,
but I figured the higher
quality video codec and
browser would come in handy.
More reasons?
Coz I got tired of thinking
about whether to do it or not.
(Maybe it was part of Sony’s
plan to kinda make ppl feel
“left out” unless they update,
- guess I fell for that ^^
didn’t wanna wait another
month until the white psp
comes out, though I’m still getting that one)
And, I figured the only
game I wanna buy in the next 6 months is Tokobots, besides
ppl are gonna be competing
like no tomorrow to hack this
firmware rev, and I believe
someone will.
Though it seems it’ll never
end. Sony’s just gonna
keep releasing new updates,
and UMD discs are probably gonna implement more security
also. Same thing with the PS3, and Xbox360. It’s over guys,
it’s time to realize we
gotta pay for stuff : /
Also agree with someone else in here that most psp games are “half-assed shit”, and not really worth the trouble pirating. Ridge Racers was
great, but what happened after that? Nothing.
Finally, I’m pissed about them
not porting certain Japanese
games like Dokodemo Issho.
I don’t know about flaming
ppl and stuff like that,
but each one should decide on
their own what they wanna do.
(Sorry for taking up a page
^^)
please dont flame me….a simple question. if i find a unencrypted wifi hotspot…with 80% or more signal strength can i connect to it? if so what should be network settings be? i havent been able to cennect to anything….also after i download and update can i delete the update file off the mem card?
#207 unless that connection is wep/wap encrypted,
connecting should be quite easy ;)
the update file doesn’t have
to stay on the memory card
after you’re done with it,
coz everytime you do an update, it’s being stored in
the psp’s internal memory
thank you 208
if there no encryption and i get and error (80d86923) or something to that effect, is there something im doing wrong?
Ok I updated but I can wait for a 2.0 hack cause all the stuff is awsome and i dont have to have file on my MS for backgrounds or a browser. Hope a 2,0 hack comes out cause it might have flaws alot. If and when its hacked have a hack so it can support flash.
Aaron,
Your last comment was much better. :) By the way I am a programmer, network engineer, network administrator, systems integrator, and network security administrator. But whos counting. ;) Anyhow have fun out there everyone. 2.0 Rocks! Unless your Aaron.
I absolutely love the people who insult everyone who does anything not in accordance with the hacking community… I fully support the men and women who bring the wonderful hacks and homebrew to the masses, but if someone wants to update, who’s place is it to insult them for it? You can think it all you want, but just keep it to yourself. I don’t see anyone ripping the homebrewers, do you? I updated and am pleased with the changes. If you don’t make the HB, don’t bitch about it.
do you have to have al linksys network card and a linksys router or is every router a good one
Hello ladys and getlemen. I am a child of the age of 17. Wouldn’t it be sweet if sony started putting out mini games over the update thing!
My chinese cousin has had 2.0 over in thier country for countless hours now. She was gonna tell me everythnig about it, but right when she turned it on a tour bus hit her. It was i ronic that I was on the bus. Then I pleaded with the driver to let me off. But he wouldn’t let me. I watched my cousin through the back window, and then a steam roller ran her over, and the steam roller was followed by a street sweeper. Let me just say this. That was by far much mor gorier then metal gear
oh no shame
What the fuck i thot dis was about firmware 2.0 not shit on gay men get rid of this Prick
And 2.0 is good and soon there will be hacks for it so be patient
whatever guys do what you guys want im stickin with my 1.5. you know y? cause the eairler ones like 1.0/1.5 will have the new emulators first. Example: while 2.0 only has there gameboy color emulators which is the eairliest state. 1.0 and 1.5 will have the new and better emulators like PS2,G-cube, and Xbox.so whatever. do what you guys want. im jus letten you know that when 2.0 has emulators you’ll be braging about it and other people wil be saying “thats old man” while they have 1.0/1.5 and playin games like halo
lol opps posted two times lol
187: “To everyone else reading this, please if you have 1.5, DO NOT UPGRADE! Homebrew/emulators/loaders unlock the true power of the psp and what it is really good for.”
Thats just halarious. Pick ANY official game and show me a homebrew that is more advanced and really shows its true power.
187: “I would MUCH rather play 8bit nes games that are 100000x more fun than the crappy psp games that are out.”
Why did you get a PSP in the first place if you dont like the games? Please dont tell me you paid all that money to play 8bit games???? Why not get a cheaper PDA that has 100000x more apps/emus, cheaper removable storage, better battery life, better hardware support and better developer support?
I am using 2*0 right now. It is bomb!
As much as a hassle as it will be trying to hack 2.0, at least the new firmware will FINALLY be compatible with Sony’s music service, Sony Connect, which is only logical. And the AAC compatibility is nice too if you use iTunes (minus the DRM protected tracks from the music store).
ehh y don’t u guys jus download the jap web browser its as good as the 2.0. besides im writin this online threw my psp using the jap browser
I don’t know why the
2.0 browser’s so slow..
got a 10mbit connection,
it should be spitting up
the web-pages : /
Yeah, I tried all kinds of
settings, also got a 100%
wireless feed.
Should anyone be interested,
I also tried out the p-tv
service. That’s a load of
bogus compared to what
Sony showed off at the PS
meeting. The PSP doesn’t
accept direct downloads to
the stick. I gotta
connect the PSP by USB, then
the website lets me transfer
content, and it’s taking
waaay to long.
hey i upgraded to 2.0 and i liked it….but im getting sick of the low connection levels im getting….does anyone have any tips on how i can get a better connection.
people jus use the tenchi no mon stand alone browser. its fast and doesn’t need to be upgraded. to me i think its better than 2.0
Are they supposed to come out with 2.0 for the us users? If so when?
I was going to go into another long rant, but most ppl don’t wanna hear the truth so I’m not gonna bother. One thing I have to say is that you CANNOT get a pc virus on your psp, anyone with half a brain can tell you that, and anyone saying otherwise is severely misinformed. The last thing you need to worry about on your psp is a virus. Also, as far as homebrew being hard to implement, HA! Everything I have on my mem card worked first time and works every time, its all one click to set up. And, yes, I do have more fun playing nes, genesis, snes, etc than ANY psp game. When a psp game comes out I want to play, I will buy it, until then, there is no reason to play psp games. They are simply not fun.
#229, you are right. So far, most of the PSP games out suck. To tell you the truth, there are some DS games I’d rather play. PSP homebrew all the way!
ERROR MY PSP DOESNT WANNA START THE UPDTATE IT SAYS
” THE GAME COULD NOT BE STARTED
(80020130) SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, lets get some things straight….(1)the web browser is fast and slow, depending onwhat kind of network, hardware, and configurations your running. (2)the browser does support downloading to the MS, most likely only content the PSP will support. (3)people seem to be forgetting that data transfers do not DL or UL in a constant stream, it’s sporadic. (4) lastly, whomever wants to continue running homebrew is their choice, i’ll still respect you in the morning. For the ones that want to update, same thing. My opinion, this update is a genius idea for a portable player that supports more content than NintendoDS, Gameboys, PDA’s, etc. Sony did not have to do this, remember, they CHOSE to do it. My choice, I’ll buy a laptop for running apps, more control that way. PSP is there to entertain me, that’s all.
2.0 rules~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2.0 ehh. it dun matter. 1.0/1.5 are better than 2.0 any day
Ok Tenchi browser is’nt anything close to the 2.0 browser used them both 2.0 is far superior!I did notice that most of you keep sayin the tenchiB is better, but have you tested both of them? I know I have and there really is no comparison the 2.0B is better without a doubt
@229
Can psp get viruses? YES it is possible and they will! Can cell phones get viruses
YES they can and HAVE, (but wait cell phones can’t run exe, com, bat, or any other pc executable either)! Search google you’ll find some shit…
@232
“1)the web browser is fast and slow, depending on what kind of network, hardware, and configurations your running. ”
VERy VERy TRUe
“(2)the browser does support downloading to the MS, most likely only content the PSP will support.”
What files you trying to download b\c everysingle file i’ve tried worked perfectly striaght to any spot on my Ms!
@225
10mbit connections means nothin it all comes down to what 232 said!
Psp games that are out are not all that! The only game I really want is GTA and im willing to dish out money for it!
do d-link routers work for the psp??
This is the best firmware I ever seen, I go to the internet evry time and it goes fast as a rocket, u should try this out, but warnin, u can back up from versions GOOD LUCK
why is the telling me (there is not enough memory)?
When i go to update, the version is 1.52. WTF?
I JUST DOWNLOADED THE 2.0 UPDATE AND I CREATED THE FILE UPDATE IN THE GAME FOLDER THEN I PUT THE FILE THERE AND IT SAID CORREPTED SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT
the reason i’m doing this is because no one wants to complete my offers, so now i’m offering to give you 5 dollars, i already got 1 and i want another 1
can anyone find a way to run AIM? please tell me.
Hey guys, let me tell you. What was the PSP made for?
it was made to play 3D games and made to be hacked. while some choose to hack it, i chose to upgrade. The thing is that some people are smarter then the smart ones and thats why people are going to hack the version 2. what i did was upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0, since its like AOL 6.0 and AOL 9.0, and i want the best version which is 2.0.
can i ask(i’m sorry if somebody already asked, or if the question is stupid, but i don’t know much on this topic.) Can the web browser play movies, games, or open pictures, because the wipeout pure browser can’t
For example can you play runescape?
i wonder if anyone even posts here anymore, i guess its just late
I try it and it works ok
not required for the US i think
The 2.0 update works perfectly. but to be safe download it from the official sony website from the link at the top of the page.. it is in english and it is so freaking awesome.. but no runescape. but i dont play it so i really dont care.. and the browser can open pictures and i really havent tried to play a movie or games.. so i will try and tell you when i do it.. ttyl
i just upgraded to 2.0 and i have a 1.50 psp. it’s amazing and it works with any psp, us or jap. the web browser is awesome. I advise everyone to upgrade and fuck homebrew. Pay for the games so we can keep getting awesome shit from sony. pirates are losers that can’t afford to buy anything so they steal it.
[]D [] []V[] []D
OK IM GONNA UPDATE 4 SHO!!..BUT I HAVE A US PSP AND CAN I UPDATE THE US VERSION WHEN IT COMES OUT EVEN IF IVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE JAPANESE VERSION???…JUST TO B SAFE…
prob not but most likely it wont have anything dif!
thanks for the comment #249
I have the eboot thing but i still dont get how to put it on my psp.i have the usb.can someone give me specific details
make a folder called “UPDATE” without Qoutation in GAME foler!
Directory should be like this
PSP=>GAME=>UPDATE
Drop your EBOOT.PBP in UPDATE folder!
Exit USB mode and run update under game of the MS (memory stick)
I got it now and its pretty cool but i dont know why the wallpapers ont this website work. it doesnt work when i try to put it on there.i thought bitmap images worked?
#256
you have to view the picture then press the triangle button and move around the options until you find “set as wallpaper” hope this helps
[]D [] []V[] []D
can you manage files on your memory stick from the psp with version 2.0?
Viktor did u download the 2.0 TELL ME CAUSE I DONT WANT TO MESS UP MY PSP LOL. thats gay.

I’m about to do it I’m just waiting for my PSP to charge. Is it a good Idea????????????????
i have updated my firmware to 2.0 and like it quite much, everything is still in the same language it always was, remember the psp is multi-lingual already (could set the language even to german on my japanese psp)
of course you will need some wireless connection to surf the web with the (rather sexy) browser…
gothicbomber who the hell are you? Oh by the way i updated, nothing too special, I don’t think hombrew lovers should update. Wow i don’t believe people are still posting here
I updated my 1.5 a couple of days ago. I like homebrew and emulators, but I tried the hacked game browser and it didn’t work well with most of the sites I visit. The 2.0 browser works fine, except it wont connect to Live Journal, does anyone else have the problem? Also, since it seems like PSP is turning out to be a mini computer does anyone know if it will be possible to get MSNIM, YIM, or AIM (and other apps)?
HAHAHA viktor im not that dumb
HAHAHA viktor im not that dumb
i know
WTF it doubled^
ima get it, cause im cool like that :p
Anybody know any good free mp3 sites that I can just download music from the browser to my PSP?
Ya know what i have taken some bites by friends of mine because i updated to 2.0, but the funny thing is i never played the homebrews, never even had an emulator on my computer… the reason i did update is because i noticed that the things they added to it(2.0) are pretty much the same things that you guys have been making on your own since 1.0 came out. I give you a lot of credit for being sucessful in your endevours and wish you luck at securing a flaw in 2.0
before i get flamed i need to say I am not against emulators i just own all the machines i have wanted to play the games for. end of story.

Question to those who have the update:
I see on some galleries that the page isn’t displayed fully on the PSP…how would you go about scrolling to the right, to get to the other side of the screen (or to whats left on the right side)? R & L buttons? That would be convienant and easy.
Hey, guys. This thing works. The only real problem is setting your DNS. This isnt really useful when you’re in the car. You can use it, and it works just fine, but once the new update after 2.0 comes out it is highly suggested you wait for it, so you wont corrupt anything from too much un-authorized stuff.
has anyone used their psp to access files off the computer if it’s in a network. please help.
Just downloaded and is oh so sweet! #281, what problems with DNS? I am having no problems as of now…
Hahahaha, suckers
If EVERYONE updates to 2.0, the people behind homebrew will be forced to give up 1.5 – 1.52 development and work solely on 2.0 dev. then everyone can have 2.0 and be happy. why keep trying to crack the older versions? everyone wants 2.0, you know you do. push the HB guys to focus only on 2.0. It’s the only logical thing to do.
Im pretty sure people are already working on finding exploits on 2.0! Especialy when it launches in the UK(considering their psp comes w/2.0)….. No one has to convince anyone homebrew will find its way to the 2.0!
Being patient is the way : )
me bad to bone
WELL worth it. the internet feature is just what i was looking for and makes the PSP worth its money ALONE. by far better than ur nintendo games that take up a BUNCH of memory to keep
Man this is the hardest decision. but i think im gonna wait ne ways. cause i got the wipe out game.
how do you use this fuckin web browser
I like my 1.5 i like my games on mem stick and home brew
TRY SEARCHING FOR THE SIGNAL!!!
who the hell are you gothicbomber?
Has anybody seen this. This was a big topic on psphacker.com check this out. http://www.playstation.jp/psp/update/ud_01.html
I’ve got PSP v. 1.52. And of course… I’m updating when 2.0 is released in the U.S. Mulitiple reasons. 1st= IDC about old nintendo games…i can play those on a tv if i want! 2nd=I don’t want to fizuck up my psp w/ jap crap. ha…that rhymed!! muahahaha

make sure your 802.11 card is on. ON your psp and if that doesnt work just go to RESTORE SYSTEM SETTINGS
HHMMM upgrade i dont know im not a fan of those 1-d homebrews or those ILLEGAL roms the upgrade takes up to much room but i mean come on if they hacked 1.50 they’ll hack 2.00 i dont care about that have to upgrade thing to play some games i got the no umd update thing SSSOOOO
does any1 know wether after u run the update will it still take up the 16 mb cause if not im UPDATING
i updated to 2.0 but now any video i put on my mem. stick won’t play, has anyone else had this problem? it kills me cause now i can’t watch the simpsons…please help
Hey my psp is broken… the umd won’t work. We are gonna send it in but haven’t yet. Will downloadin’ miss up my warranty??{void} if so i’ll wait for the us version(hopefully sept. 1 same as the release in europe)!
2.0 is amazing, yes a loved my Snes emulator for my 1.5v. But updating to 2.0 is worth it. Emulators and Homebrew games only last so long and then u get tired of them and realize why u dont have a Nintendo anymore, so update now, and if ur to scared wait until Aug.12 for the North American version, Peace.
why not update to 2.0???
here’s a good reason

OH!!! and one more thing ppl I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW SONY PSP FROM EBAY FOR JUST 5 dollars 5DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!
shipping 244.00 send us a link i want 2 see
MLB works fine and I have a us spec psp with jp fw. I have had no problem but I did encounter problem when it was 1.51
if i have the jap psp 2.0 firmware and the us vs comes out is there a diffrence and/or can i remove the japanese one and put on the us one?
Hi, I updated to 2.0(jpn) and have no problems in recognising my UMDs or playing videos on memory stick. Browser comes up with blazing speed. Only issues encountered are ‘Not enough Memory’ when trying to open some links.
oh i saw the 5 dollar thing but i thougt it was like 1 of those shoot the monkey ads there is no WAY u can get a psp 4 5 bux i tried it takes sony 300 bux to make 1 and they planned on making the rest in umds thats y sony hates 1.50 (CoUHHg erm.. erm piraters)
Hiya,
I could use some help. I KNOW that the jp firmware works on u.s psps. But I’m worried that it might screw it up, as people keep reporting issues in this comments section. Any advice/suggestions/feedback?
Last thing. When does the us firmware supposedly come out?
What The Heck Are Homebrews!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can Some One Tell Me Please!!!!!!!
I Love version 2.00 but im having a problem with my network update.:the problem is that when i make a new connection when im done it always say :internal error (80082728).
all of you are stupid. you should wait for for the north american version 2.0 for psp that comes out on aug. 12 only a few days away. if you download the japanese version on a north american psp now it will void your warranty
If there is say… a 2.01 or 2.10 version later released in the US after the 2.0 is and u download it will it remove the 2.0?
An people at target arent gonna know what version of firmare jap or US u use
if u download the update now can u update the US version later.
OK LISTEN UP EVERYBODY!! OBVIOUSLY IF U HAVE ANY FIRMWARE VERSION ABOVE 1.5!!! U WONT BE ABLE TO USE HOMEBREW STUFF ANYWAYS!!! JUST UPDATE TO 2.0!! U HAVE NO CHOICE!!! AND NOOO!!! U CANT BUY THE 1.5 IN STORES IN US ANYMORE. ONLY 1.51 AND ABOVE. SO THERE… U MADE UR DECISION I HOPE.
hmmm…i thought the regular version 1.50 or 1.52 already allowed web browsing and stuff..my friend even showed me his psp on myspace…he told me about wipeout and their internet connect..but i think he doesn’t even know what hes talking about..but he still got web browsing on his psp…=/. im sooo confuse…
i was just wondering, do you absolutely NEED a wireless router for the internet. What can you do if you don’t have a wireless 1?
Thanx in advance :)
i think imma update it, i can have genesis or snes on my computer, and besides i KNOW they r gonna come up with a homebrew on 2.0. but the shit is that if i get bored out, i dont wanna play da same shit over and over, i would want homebrew..but i dunno…i got 1.50, and i think imma update
i got a PSP imported from hong kong and my version is 1.52 and the x button is to go back and cirlce to select. Should I update to 2.0 and would it work and not mess my PSP up? Plus would it make it so the x button is to slect and cirlce to go back?
Why Can’t People Just Make HomeBrew Avalaible For PSP 2.0 ??? Wouldn’t That Make Things A LOT Simpler?!
How come all of these guys wrote on july 27. Also some of the fools downloaded the japanese version of the 2.0. Dont they know it viods their warenties. Also for one thing always wiat for the US version of an update cause sony tests the update in japan and finds any flaws and fixs them and makes a US version. So u should always wait for the US version of an update cause it will always better!
ALSO CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE FOR HELP ON PSP!
it is Chinni7.tripod.com/id15.html
For the guy on number 324 u cant change how the psp works. It will always be like that and also u should wait for the US version of the update(that is if ur in USA)
For the guy325(pat)No they cant just make a homebrew avalaible on the version 2.0 cause it restrictes it on the update also it isn’t easy making a hombrew. With the new securtiy problems it makes it hard. But dont worry some smart guy will find a way
what the hell is homebrew i got no idea what that is. and people should just wait till augest 12 for the US update to be out cause thay say that jap update might mess up your psp.
328 guy, thanks for that but I live in the UK, willa ny updates be avaulble as it says there are some but not sure wheather to downlaod them plus is the O button to select and x button to go back on all PSP’s then?
Uhhhhh… its August 12, what happened to the US 2.0 update?
also that guy named “Sreenadh”, ur site sucks. And the music on it is stuck in my head!!!!!!
i was wondoring y psp 2.0 did not come out yet it is the 12 and i ched its not there for us!!!!
the upgrade up there for us psp’s????
where the hell is the upgrade?? i waited out not dl the japanese version and now its the 12th and sony still only has v.1.52 upgrade available. i already have 1.52!!
where the fuck is the update
has anyone received the update?
the fuckin update is not out till august 15th
where did u hear that?!?!
where u hear about the update not comin till Aug 15. Thats messed up, i waited this long and sony didnt release it yet. Sony, u did me wrong!
it says on the sonyplation site. made we wait hella long to, damn sony.
Im downloadin tha jap version cause i just cant wait any longer. oh well
fuck this bullshit, i allready downlaoded the jap version…i just want to hear some one say that it dosent mess up your psp
man!! the 15th?!?, shiet today it seemed lyka lifetime and now 2 more dayz sound lyk and eternity!! damn sony!!
im juss gonna update, cant wait any longer, oh well!!
NICEEE….. This 2.0 update is a dreamer update can gamers can have, great Internet Brew and it can play WMA file.
I give it 10 1-10score
I am Thinking selling my ALIENWARE PC because of this Update :-)
Err… even though everything in the 2.00 update works fine, I can’t seem to access the internet cuz it says “An internal error has occurred (80082728)”, and I have no idea wat it means. Ne one no how I can fix da problem?
YEAH… dat error(80082728) has been in effect ever since yesterday at 9-11pm yesterday, so im kinda thinking sony is doin sumtin thats holding back the server or sumtin, but other than that, it works G.R.E.A.T!! finally (wma)files and (bpm)images can be viewed or heard!!
ive hado no problems with the jap version, when the us version didnt release on the 12th, i said fuck it and downloaded the jap version. i have no errors. error you might be getting is due to a weak signal. sony better hurry the fuck up with that us version.
Can We Download some “emulator or games” that works on psp v2.00… ?
i got v2.00, the browser is much faster than the wipeout pure one. there is also no language difference
HELP ME! It takes up space but does not exist!!
august 15, no update…..
fuckin sony
Maybe it will be out at 3:00 pm on the 15th. But maybe im wrong.
sony is playing game with us.
does any one know how to downgrade from the jap version 2.0 to 1.5 us
u can’t
is psp 2.0 out yet?
i dont think so
have you heard anything about it?
i know that its not comeing out today it august 15 here and sony said that it will come out some time this week so aug 15- aug 19 keep looking for it all this week and let us all know and me
wtf is is wrong with sony, some one said that wont be out soon cuz bill gate has some really big planed but i dont know if hes lying or not.
What does bill gates have to do with sony?!! he doesnt own sony. Oh, and here is something for sony. YOU GUYS ARE PISSING ME THE FUK OFF
has anyone heard the exact date for when the us v2.0 comes out?
I have a u.s PSP and i download this Japanesse update when it first came out. For all of you who cant wait for the U.S Update, just use the Japanesse one. I’ve had it for a few months now and nothing has gone wrong. and if it does, didnt something just come out on this site that removes the updates? just do that and return it.
whats a homebrew or w/e?
when will 2.0 some out for network update
*come
damn im pissed! 2.0 iz great n all but there are other ways to get picture backrounds and web browsers with 1.5, but homebrews dont work because of the release of dnab that prevents homebrews. Now that theres 2.0 editors have to create emultors or home brews that trick the psp ito thinking the program is a 2.0+ update so that it will load otherwise it say the the file is corrupt. this has been done recently by “toms tool’s” editors, but the game, tictac-toe, didnt load the game but it aknowlegde it so there is hope. SO instead of waiting for a downgrade, wait for psp firmware 2.0 hacks.
p.s. xbox emulation iz a waste of time!!!
LOL oh ya if u hav the error(80082728)jus rescan for the target connection and type in the key again, happens to me somtimes, jus edit the connection again
there is a way to deleat the 2.00 after u loaded it once u loaded it go back to where you would load it under game then itll give u the option to deleat it!!!
2.0 is great ever1 should use it and you can easily delet it it porob wont harm your psp and is great
i never realy cared for homebrews mainly because i dont feel like taking a chance of getting a fucked up download with a virus that damages the psp. But i might since most of you seem to not get any. and SONY RELEASE THE FUCKING 2.0 NOW. YOU GUYS ALWAYS WAIT SO FUCKING LONG. BY THEN I WILL PROBABLY HAVE PSP 2 OR PSP ADVANCED. WHO KNOWS SONY MIGHT BE BOUGHT BY MICROSOFT OR NINTENDO!!!! not that i hate Microsoft or Nintendo. because the DS is pretty good and the Xbox 360 Seems awesome since it will be able to play halo 2.
#375 what site did sony release the 2.0 update
can u put the us 2.0 update over the jp 2.0 update
make sure that your battery is charged before you do this upgrade
If sony hasn’t sent out 2.0 in america they probably havent even checked it! and if they have then they just like to see us sqirm! But it totally fixes every problem ive had with the psp like wire less connection problem and inconveineces like no web browsingand not being able to personalize it, it works perfect on my model psp-1001(american) with no problems and i think the programmers will put fixes and the psp hacks to work on 2.0 you just have to wait a little.
hey where is the american version of the 2.0 update..? i dont find it anywhere?
You can’t get the american version yet Frank, it is only Japanese right now and to download it it will be considered a hack
this i gay ive been waiting so long
we all have
I read on the playstion.com forums that if you have a american psp and use Japanese FirmWare it is possible it will have longterm problems. thats why im waiting till the American version. The post was by a moderator.
when is 2.0 coming out does anyone here know today is 8/17/05
any time i try to set up a new connection, it says “error 80834956″ or somethin. is there a min. signal strength required? I dont have a router, im bumming off other ppl at like 40-60% strength.
You might. Because if it stops upgrading durrig the upgrade it can permanently mess it up.
Your psp wont know wether you have 1.5x or 2.0 causing it to do different things and frying the motherboard in the end.
You should just evaluate what the psp’s main function is for. For me personally its not the games. Its the ability to watch mp4 movies and go on the web so i updated it to 2.0. I have a nokia 6620 with a SNES emulator on it and it works fine so i dont need it on my psp. Also as everyone said the web browser on 2.0 is 10000000000000000000000x better then wipeout pure. Add a Steno CD311 and u get 40 gigs of movies u can put on your psp. YES THE STENO WORKS AS A 40gig HD DUMP. you still need a 1 gig memory stick tho. And as most of u guys who work are aware having a phone with a emulator is less likely to get u in trouble then having your psp out. The choice is entirely up you. Also
PSP-Hack.com has the US 2.0 upgrade. u need a mstick reader or u need to hook up your psp to your computer. They give u the option to download the update either from there server or sony’s japanese server, but im pretty sure its a US update. Last question tho, anyone know if we can update the browser? it says the browser is netscape 6.1 >.
people look my friend called sony ask them whem is the us 2.0 update is going to come out and sony told him that it is going to come out tomorrow at 12:00 pm.
hope there not polling your leg
SO this update is for the U.S PSP’s right,…why is it here and not on the playstation site
#389 You better not be lieing… wait, we can call them to. see if your friend was telling the truth because i have been waiting for a while now and I dont want to be disapointed. Or… Or… I WONT HAVE A REASON TO LIVE CAUSE I WANT TO HACK 2.0 NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEY i heard that sometimes it could like mess up ur psp and stuff so wat does it mess up if any of u guys hav done it and it got messed up tell me plz
