NoskireFiel | July 27, 2006
The new firmware version [2.80] for the PSP is here! Fetch ‘em all below.
Here is a direct quote from jp.playstation.com
Network
• [With the RSS channel], it corresponded to the download of the animated picture contents and the picture contents.
• [With the location free prayer], the equipment register by way of the wireless LAN access point became possible.Music
• The extension reached the point where the AAC file “of .3gp” can be played back.• It corresponded to the contents which are retained in “MUSIC” of the “memory stick duo”, “PICTURE” and “the VIDEO” folder. (I don’t really know what this means.)
•Following ones were added to the game trial version which can be downloaded in the “memory stick duo”.

NOTE: 2.80 does not have homebrew capabilities, So if you are in love with homebrew DO NOT upgrade to 2.80!
If you would like to upgrade, you can pick up a copy of the 2.80 update from:
PSP Hacks:

or
http://jp.playstion.com: Direct Download
or
You can update directly from your PSP using the network update. This requires you having a wireless network.
Enjoy! and I recommend not updating if you like homebrew!
1first post ;) nice, where can you download the demo
There is the link
http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/tama-run/
you might wanna translate the site using the google translator.
do not upgrade it is sony tryin to make u stop homebrew!!!!!!!!!!
first post yey!!!
damn i got 2nd
I meant the link from world soccer tour 2 demo ;) does anyone know that when this is coming
Now its up to Booster to release a devhook ver. capable of emulating 2.80
=)
That looks pathetic, no way will i upgrade to that.. I just hope and pray that DevHook will be installed with an emulation of 8.0..
why this firmware not available on http://www.yourpsp.com
do not upgrade it is sony tryin to make u stop homebrew!!!!!!!!!!
first post yey!!! bla bla bla and 2.71 ups I have tryin …
Now videos can just be put in the Video folder, and dont need a special name!
crappy update, 1.5 for life!
it will be available soon enough on the website, if you do wanna update and dont have wireless, there is a copy of it in teh forums
know they just need to make a program that flashes 1.50, so they can put wateva makes the “Videos” folder and put it in our firmware. if that made sense.
“LOVE LETTER TO SONY”.
Even if I had 2.71, it still seems like one silly fucking update (bar the security issues with 2.71 emulation). Nothing worthwhile in it whatsoever, judging from the release notes. At least 2.80 is closer to a round number though, so Sony, you’ve made this boy happy…well…not really, you’ve been real dicks on this PSP thing (and don’t get me started on Playstation III). It’s a pity too - I used to like you in a way that made the sun shine out of your ass (until I covered it).
^Doody.
Hmmm, Think I’ll pass on this till Booster emulates it. The way things have been going should only take a couple of days lol. Up yours Phony
Actually agree with Doody here.. I have stoped loving Sony… Couse, everytime we hear from them, it’s just another crappy update.. Just to cover some security holes.. I have been waiting for ages to PS3.. But, now… I’m not so sure anymore..
Yeh, nothing special, and yes.. PS3 will not be bad console, but for that price… i can get two Nintendo Wii and three games.
stop loving sony?.. wouldnt life abit dull without sony
Whats the point in 2.8? Is there anything worth having at all? I’m sticking to my guns!
well i am going to stick with my white psp 1.5. and i m going to wait for dev hook to make it possible to run this on a home brew and i can watch porn on rrs channels.
The only True firmware upsate that would ever come out, would let you do anything a pc can (play any format), IM’s,Better & Faster Web Browser….but thats a little too far fetch for sony, hackers could just make these and wrap em up into a custom firmware and BAM (y)
AWESOME! HAHA! This update sounds pretty cool for 1.5 users! WELL… At least until Chaos Zero or someone else implements it into DevHook!
(if u know what i mean) :)
who will be crazy enough to upgrade?
not me, ive lernt my lesson with 2.6!
:P
i eat dead things
OMG Ima update right now!..ok no im not. i love my 1.5 :D
just wonder why tis days there’s many firmware update that almost can say “no use”? just for the sake of protection?
even i hav a 2.71, i won’t touch 2.8.
I have a 1.5 and i would like to update to 2.8…Can someone tell me how?
zchin you’re so lucky. i wish I could put videos in without changing the name.
dude this sucks…. is there anything new other than the video folder thing?
bleh i hope someone makes a downgrader for 2.71 i need it
Kiwi updated as so as wake up! dude, I didn’t even read what it did! thats so awesome!
just throwin it out there….is it possible to upgrade it with dev hook? like emulate .71 then upgrade to .8?
i just was curious to test the 2.7x PRX Decrypter on this FW2.8 and it seems to work! yay!
get it here and test it http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/613 !
this means Booster can surely emulate 2.8 soon :)
regards
This firmware update doesn’t really offer much.
-wonders when the firmware with PSX emulator debuts-
That would be something.
hahaah that wuld be funny if we can alrede decrypt 2.8… if thats tru, give booster a day or 2 and 1.50s will have it emulated. if they arn’t decryptable with the 2.7x PRX decrypter, give dark_alex a few off of his work with custom firmware and he’ll decrypt them:P
Lets see I unfortunately have a 2.60 TA 082 which seems to be useless 4 homebrews cuz it will brick my psp if i try so i might as well upgrade right cuz it seems like sony did a good security job on these psps. U see if sony was smart they would allow homebrew\emulators in a way that they could profit from something like what nintendo wii is doing with there new system duh!
or even better classic ps one games emulated u know final fantasy VIIs, Metal Gear Solids, Resident Evils, I mean shit if I were sony id want to keep my customers happy not pissthem off i dont want microsoft 2 be the future
Yes, i tested it right few minutes ago, and the binaries look very decrypted like :))) hahah, if i’m not work, that i will surely not take more than 2 days :)))) i hope Booster and and dark_alex will noticed this as soon as they can…
the only thing i couldn’t thest, is the reboot.bin decompression. but maybe also this works without problems :)
ChaosZero i congratulate ur skills and ur hard work u did on creating Devhook .45 now Sony has challenged u again and we all trust ull do it once again.As for the ridiculous updates Sony creates is insanely a stupid thing to do dont they give up on hackers and crackers?
As for PS3 ive been playing video games since Atari 2600 and with the price they set on PS3 ican build to mega PC’s Desktops with all the goodies.Whats happening Sony ur loosing ground on many platforms…Leave us psp owners alone forget the updates no use anyway.Ill stick to my 2 PSP’s 1.50 till Sony goes bankrupt….Long Live PSP 1.50 with all the ISOS,Emulators,Systems, and hardworking hackers for it. AMEN.
it’s not clearly written here, but FW2.8 update gives the ability for RSS Video Feeds through the browser.
i real reason to get it!
lol new update and everyone starts demanding..
Chaos make the new devhook! etc.
lol.. give it time im on no hurry for this.. ill still be using Mp_root so 1.5 can watch vids… so its nothing special
>
to you great people who make the secksy customs. and devhook >
gat,
if you have homebrews on your 2.6 , it wont brick, its as good as 1.5 however you cant use kernel modes,devhook, etc. you can have emulators for super nintendo, etc. using grand theft auto. and who knows maybe dark_alex will find a way to downgrade for us.
shit.. between the > was
((hands you all a cookie))
and ((take your time))
XD
pfft..i have 2 psp’s just for this reason one stays happy at 1.5 the other update happy to enjoy all the new features. I WIN!
fuck upgrading!!! 1.5 for life!!!
why do people keep giving chaos zero credit for Devhook, Booster is the one who created Devhook you fucking morons, jesus fucking god!
does anyone know a kick ass website 2 download mario, metroid or megaman hombrew games cuz i have 1.5 and i looked through google and no good results……………. if i don’t find a good site 2 get homebrew then im updating
hey john, did you even bother checking this site for homebrew, and if your looking for roms for an emulator and you cant find them on google, then you are a fucking moron and you should update to 2.8
john,
isohunt.com
mininova.com
torrentspy.com
me,
of course you’re so right but I also agree with showing a fcking moron some help, *5 yr olds don’t know much*
Fuck that Homebrew 4 L1F3
2 John,
I use http://www.coolroms.com u cant get marios, donkey kong, or zeldas, ull have to get them someone else though they are removed but u can find pretty much any other game u can think of .
GAT : DO NOT UPGRADE UR PSP ANY FURTHER!! I kno u have a 2.60 TA 082 but theres a MUCH better chance of getting a downgrader where ur at than if u keep upgrading!! USE YOUR HEAD!!. that is unless u DONT want homebrew EVER.
Okay..I updated (my 2nd PSP, my 1st stays 1.5 for life) and now you can make a folder called VIDEO in the root of the memory card where you can put MP4 video files….and you can name them anything you want…they don’t need to have the LONG ALPHA-NUMERICAL file names that PSP video files had to in the past……..HOWEVER…..it doesn’t seem to support the THUMBNAIL FILES, even if they’re named the same thing. Since sony doesn’t have any official info on this up on their site, I guess it’s a wait and see. And, yes, the OLD video folders still work with the old filename types and thumbnails. An interesting update to say the least….I wonder if this is for some OTHER type of video format that they’ll be intergrating with the PS3 or Tivo (which I heard they were in negotiations with for over a year regarding Tivo to go files)
so does the decrypter really work for this firmware?
I’ll just wait for the devhook since I just downgraded my 2.00 PSP to 1.50 even though I could since I have a 1.5 PSP already that I bought of ebay. but if this can be put in devhook then no need to upgrade. Thanks Booster and everyone involved with Devhook and the installers and shit that make the PSP easy to run homebrew and have the latest FW available for the newer UMD’s and Iso’s
Even the JP site translated doesn’t have any info on the new VIDEO folder and how it’s different from the MP_ROOT folder we put videos in previously…other than that you can now have one. Interesting….well, I’m sure the US site will be updated by the end of the weekend / beginning of the new week.
this is off topic but i just want to get the word out!!
while emulating 2.71 on a genuine jp 1.50 i was able to access p-tv
1.) must have a true genuine jp psp
take out the battery and if it has SJxxxxxxxxx as a serial number then its japanese. if it says SUxxxxxxxxx then its US i assume europe would be SExxxxxxxxx but i dont have a eurpoean one so unsure on that
2.)must have devhook v .45
load devhook and set it to emulate firmware 2.71
3.) from the XMB i was able to see p-tv as an icon under the network(globe) icon, it was at the bottom
4.) i was able to access the p-tv option, connect via my wifi connection, and flip through the menus, however i was unable to download the videos because it requires user name and password
5.) the font is japanese for the most part but there is some english
6.) as far as i can tell you must download the videos hence you must supply user name and password i dont know if it possible to stream them or not
7.) i made a crappy video of it with a crappy camera its a little shaky(understatement) but i only have two hads and its hard to hold the camera in focus while manipulating the psp,
heres the vid link
http://rapidshare.de/files/27235462/ptv_on_a_jp_psp.MPG.html
** remeber this does not work on US psp i tested and its confirmed to only work on a jp psp**
i submitted it here as ahack but i dont know if they’ll put it up or not
i’d appreaciate it if some one with a good camera and jp 1.50 would get devhook v.45 and try to duplicate results
AHAHAHA! CMON NOOBS GO UPDATE AGAIN AND LAATER ASK FOR DOWNGRADES AND HOMEBREW ROFLMAO.
just a thought, since sony didnt do a security patch on the last few updates, if they made a downgrader for 2.71, wouldnt it work for 2.70 and 2.80?
For those of you babbling that it’s ONLY for JP PSP’s . IT’S ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE USA…THE NETWORK UPDATE OPTION FINDS AND DL’S THE US VERSION 2.8. DUH.
That is, unless you were talking about the P-TV…which, yes, that’s only for JP PSP’s.
uh ptv is all he talked about…
DONT UPGRADE !!!!!
Has Sony even released any PSP’s with 2.7+ pre-installed, or are all the people whining about 2.7+ downgraders just noobs that were dumb enough to upgrade?
What it means about the music, photo, and video folder thing is that you can now save stuff to your music, photo, and video folders. At least thats what many other psp sites have been saying.
Woot i got 2 PSP’s ones a 1.0 and ones a 2.80 i win gg.
so wat malkes 1.0 any better than 1.5?
I just have a quick question?
Does that mean that you can dowload videos off the internet and save it under the video file and watch it withou converting it to MP4
just wondering?
@ lupin the third
i never even mentioned 2.80, like my post said in the opening line i went off topic for a moment
@ sporx
thank you
@ schruncho
pretty much,
as long as they are a supported by the firmware
@ schruncho
i ment as long as they are in a file format that is supported by the firmare
i had a 2.71 then it broke……..so i used the warranty
and i got back a 2.60 psp no ta-082 motherboard thingy can i downgrade it???????????
@ john
yes you can downgrade
download the 2.60 - 1.50 downgrader from this site
make sure to get the windows installer version and just turn your speakers on and follow the directions
you will need an original gta:lcs umd
by the way can anybody find an original jp 1.50 eboot?
it won’t brick it since it’s a factory 2.6
@ john
if the motherboard is not the one in the picture it wont brick
you must check in the proper spot and make sure load the downgrader i told you to get and it will show you all you need to know
*noob trick* you must click the screen to progress through the tutorial
im sorry for making this an open forum lets try to stay on topic
don’t upgrade.. games are shity ones… soccer world tour is for da kidz.. other thingy is not 4 psp… i’ve decided, going 2 buy UP modchip ;)
boring this is gay 2.80 is crap all u basically get is RSS Video WOW WHAT A BIG IMPROVEMENT
maybe just maybe dev hook forced sony’s hand
maybe sony had larger plans for the update but released it early in response to dev hook and the down graders
just maybe
yeah i updated and i still can’t find a f***in Rss channel that plays video or any good one’s with music. please give me some websites and post the here.
why did u upgrade?!!! I’m sticking to 1.5.
wtf wtf ***** you sony, this update was stupid, pple stay on 2.71, u cant stream video and images, u can only download them, not stream, download, not stream, ***** you sony ***** you, if it could stream live tv anywhere (video) why not stream rss video….
why would sony release new firmware when they know nobody is going to update when they release shit like this! im sticking with my original 1.0 psp! SUCK ON THAT SONY!!!!
this
sucks right
the only reson sony has this update cause someone in the company or not in company found a secuety flaw in firmwere 2.71
Okay, like I said before…you can make a VIDEO folder on the root, drop ANY MP4 formatted video into that folder and name it anything you want….but it doesn’t recognize the thumbnail files that 3GP or other PSP movie converters make….anybody have any clue ….. about why this feature exists, why the thumbnails don’t register….or any ideas at all on this strange feature popped up in this upgrade?
dont bother with all the ‘2.81 sucks, 1.5 for life’ posts. Any dick knows that! Let all the twats upgrade if they want, while the rest of us with half a brain wait for the next version of DevHook. End of.
wtf wtf ***** you sony, this update was stupid, pple stay on 2.71, u cant stream video and images, u can only download them, not stream, download, not stream, ***** you sony ***** you, if it could stream live tv anywhere (video) why not stream rss video….
