PSP Firmware v3.02 Out

Josh | December 6, 2006

Update: Its been confirmed that 3.02 can in fact be emulated via DevHook v0.51! That’s great considering this FW update “strengthens security.” You can now fetch the (US) 3.02 update EBOOT below.

Update: The official Sony PSP website has released information about this update. Read below.


Users are reporting that Sony has updated the PSP’s firmware to v3.02. This update is available via Network Update. Although the official Sony PSP site doesn’t have information listed on this update yet, I am sure that will come soon.

Be aware that you will lose homebrew capabilities if you update your firmware.

From the Official Website:

  • Game
    • PLAYSTATION®Network titles are now supported.
      PLAYSTATION®Network titles* can now be downloaded via the PLAYSTATION®3 system.
      * The term “PLAYSTATION®Network titles” refers to PlayStation format software (PS one games) downloaded from PLAYSTATION®Store and PSP format games distributed electronically. Note that when playing on a PSP® system, system software version 3.01 or later is required.

    • New for 3.02: A security patch has been added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software.
  • Hints

    • If your PSP® system software version is 3.02 (or later), you do not need to perform this update. To check the version of your system software, go to [Settings] > [System Settings] > [System Information]. The information is shown in the System Software field.
    • Depending on the software title, you may not be able to play without first updating the system software.
    • This system software update includes all features contained in previous versions.
    • Depending on the system software version, screen images shown here may be different from the actual product.

2006-12-06 02:05:17

I was impressed by booster on emulating the 3.01, since i thought the reason for 3.01 release is to correct the bugs in 3.00…However, booster simply emulates the 3.01 instead of working on 3.00. Booster pwned Sony, and 3.02 would not be a problem.

Comment by stealth
2006-12-07 00:44:05

Devhook 51 is use to emulate 3.01-3.02 firmware if you have 1.5 firmware. Using Devhook, you can easily play games that require later fw update without permanently loosing your 1.5 fw. I hope this is clear enough for you to understand.

it works on devhook, it still have the same functions of 3.01fw

 
Comment by Bob Hoskins
2006-12-06 02:38:36

Who the hell cares about this firmware anyway? It’s not like any game will ever require it, and there are clearly no real features. Even if it couldn’t be easily cracked (which it was), it wouldn’t be worth doing.

Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.

I guess the update history will just writes:
(v3.02) A security patch was added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software.

I don’t this this’ll bring any trouble to the homebrew community LOLx.
I wonder how many security patch can they make throughout these updates… … Perhaps it may end when the Flash storage reaches maximum.

Only one thing to say for Sony ” When you can’t bit the enemy. Join him ” Sooner ore leather the same thing that append to Nokias N-Gage well append to Sony PSP. They simple stop trying to protect the firmware. I have my N-Gage and my PSP side by side. The cranking that I see on my n-gage tells mi that these well be PSP future

I wonder why everybody is so negative about Sony. Thanks to this corp. we have the mighty machine that keeps amazing me. Obviously they have faith in a successfull future for the PSP otherwise they would not be so active in spending money to improve it. We can only benefit from their efforts. Thanks to the active inspiration of some wizzkids we can benefit alongside without being milked by Sony.

But basically I am very happy with Sony. I now have a very nice toy that keeps getting better and better…

2006-12-06 07:42:55

YOU CAN ALREADY EMULATE THIS FIRMARE!!! YOU JUST HAVE TO HEX-EDIT DEVHOOK 0.51 AND CHANGE “3.01″ TO “3.02″ AND MOVE THE DUMPED FILES INTO P:/DH/301/.

OR JUST PUT THE DUMPED FILES INTO “P:/DH/301″ AND START EMULATING … “3.01″ (3.02 -.-)…

HAVE FUN!!! ;)

 
Comment by RiTch!
2006-12-06 07:59:29

@ScorpionPhilipp: I think the actual update is more than just putting 3.02 instead of 3.01 on your screen, because that is what you are doing with your hex-edit suggestion. I’m not sure this is what emulating is about…

Advice to Sony: Support Home-brew, it’s gonna happen anyway..quit wastin your time updating the PSP with useless updates and get to workin on the PS3 games. I’ve heard alot of bad things about the PS3 as far as games!!!

 
Comment by RiTch!
2006-12-06 08:04:30

@sAintJimmy: I couldn’t agree with you more… The profit should be in selling the PSP. I’m sure when it standard supports homebrew, a lot more people will buy it. By the economic laws of supply and demand they don’t have to worry about dropping prices for some time then…

no hexing need at all need

K:\dh5beta\menu\menu_fw.txt
and add this
!firmware 3.02(MS or flash+MS)
REBOOT_PATH=”flash0:/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0;ms0:/dh/05″
BTCNF_PATH=”/kd/pspcnf_tbl_dh.txt”
FLASH0=”/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0″

2006-12-06 08:22:56

Sony wont support homebrew because they know some idiots upgrade without bothering to look at what the update is “oh update, I NEED TO BE COOL WITH NEWEST FIRMWARE!”

never upgrade untill you go online and see what the update does
sure, you can emulate this in DH, but theres no weal point to it since theres nothing new to it, unless you want to boast saying “i use Devhook to emulate the NEWEST firmware”

as for those who dont know that Device Hook (Devhook for short) is, its basically a PSP emulator FOR the PSP

hey guys??
what’s the point in the emulation of 3.01 & 3.02??
or you just want to emulate the security updates?? :D
I used DH to have browser and rss,
now I have them all in 2.71SE..

emulating 3.0 is pointless, unless you want to use the psp camera, or have a PS3 for PS1 emulation.. lame..

steps to add firmware 3.02 to your psp devhook 0.51 beta installation:

1. create a folder with the name 302 in your memory sticks /dh directory
2. copy the f0 folder from 301 of the original devhook 0.51beta into /dh/302
3. know copy your dumped f0 folder over to /dh/302
4. copy the f1 folder from /dh/301 to /dh/302
5. open the file /dh/05beta/menu/menu_fw.txt and add the following:

Code:

!firmware 3.02(MS or flash+MS) REBOOT_PATH=”flash0:/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0;ms0:/dh/05″ BTCNF_PATH=”/kd/pspcnf_tbl_dh.txt” FLASH0=”/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0″ FLASH1=”/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f1″

6. save menu_fw.txt
7. fire up devhook and enjoy the addition of 302 firmware in firmware selection.

Comment by BooMBooM
2006-12-07 05:38:53

When you have the original f0 from 0.51 in a folder and then you add the dumped f0, doesn’t the dumped folder just replace the original because the have the same name? I tried following your instructions, but I’m still at 3.01.

Comment by Shaddowknight
2006-12-06 09:03:32

you choose to write to the flash1

but then, flash1 is rather safe to write to, and in fact changing the settings in the XMB writes to flash1

dont worry about it, Flash0 is the one that worries people

@55

Sony should have done that a long time ago.

The problem wif sony is that they are trying to be a luxury brand (higher price,higher quality games).Their constant security updates is just for the purpose of getting money from new users(those who bought new psp and those who can’t downgrade.)What keeps the new users from paying is that they are at a platform where is that cant access to homebrew applications and they cant wait for homebrew.So some users will keep buying games and upgrading reluctantly.

The tragedy is that all this security has prevent homebrew users from spending $$. I mean right now besides from getting a bigger memory stick, i can’t pretty much buy any psp games cause of the firmwares upgrades and stuff even if there are games that i want to purchase.

If sony could just charge certain aspects of the psp but not the games, i think they would have earned more $$ since they are prob losing make more security upgrades than getting the revenue from the minorities who could buy games and play on their psp.

ok, how tf does 3.02 have anything to do “booster” ?
also i find it hilarious that sony doesnt doesnt change things enough between updates to stop the psar dumpers and the firmware emulations.

last, mm i love devhook homebrew and all the things that makes the psp all that sony wishes it wasnt anymore.

 
Comment by boutros boutros ghali
2006-12-06 11:43:25

I guess i’ll wait to see if this is needed before i go and mess around with it,,, i just got to 3.01 a couple days ago. IF MGS needs 3.02,,,,, i’m there baby.

You guys are wrapped in your own little hacker world though…… HONESTLY, what percentage of PSP’s are hacked…. probably about 10%,,, if that….The majority of PSP owners (little kids or what have you) have no idea that a PSP could even be hacked. I hacked a friend at works PSP and he had no idea that such a thing could even be done. Now he thinks it’s about the coolest thing. Most people when buying a PSP (i.e. the parents buying one for little johnny this weekend at best buy for xmas) have no intention of ever even imagining of possibly hacking the thing…. Little johnny may if he’s savvy though, but the majority of people out there ARE NOT SAVVY.

I don’t think that these updates have anything to do with us, and sony isn’t losing all that much because of us. These updates are most likely b/c of the PS3.
If sony was losing too much on PSP, they’d abandon it instead of develop features for PS3. THey’re obviously headed in the right direction concerning our PSP futures.

I got a sony future prospectus thingy in the mail about the ps3 that outlined the future compatibility between the two, and it talked about it being a radar mapper, rearview mirror for racing games, PS3 controller,,,, etc etc…. it said to wait for further developments. It’s possible that MGS is waiting to come out b/c of all this updating also. Many people may not be able to play it when it comes out briefly b/c they didn’t know they were 3 weekly updates behind.

They’re getting them more in sync….

Relax.

If an ultimate installer comes out, i’ll go that route for this,,,, i’m lazy like that. Not much reason to do this yet though.. BUT I”M GLAD IT”S HERE
