greg | January 29, 2007
Update — Firmware 3.10 English changes:
Game
- Support for PLAYSTATION®Network titles has been expanded.
Network
- You can now play MPEG-4 AVC format video files under [LocationFree™ Player].
* A LocationFree™ Base Station (a Sony product sold separately) with model number LF-B20 or LF-B10 is required.
* For details on the LocationFree™ Player, visit http://www.sony.net/Products/LocationFree/psp/. - [Conserve Memory] has been added as an option in [View Settings] under [Internet Browser].

Update: The official (real) 3.10 firmware update is now available for everyone via “Network Update” on your hand held. You may also fetch it below, from us, PSP Hacks!
WARNING: if you upgrade you will render your PSP homebrew-less! No homebrew, no custom firmware, no DevHook, no nothing!
After the complete devastation Sony experienced yesterday; they’re back on track and quick to release firmware 3.10 for Korean PSPs. I’d imagine the rest of us will be seeing it shortly. It’s also safe to say they’ve probably patched the recent exploits (see here too) which led to the 3.03 downgrader we saw ~ 24 hours ago (two posts down). Here’s a rough and dirty translation from Google:
PSP Firmware 3.10 (Korean):
GAME:
- It enjoyed PLAYSTATION�Network tie frames and the function for was strengthened.
NETWORK:
- From [LocationFree™ Player] it will be able to remake the video file of MPEG-4 AVC formats and LocationFree™ base stations where model life is LF-PK20 (Japan) or LF-B20 and LF-B10 (the United States) (Sony product) it is this necessity.
- The fact which is detailed against LocationFree™ Player http://www.sony.net/Products/LocationFree/psp/ To refer.
- [the Internet browser] [indication set] [memory economies] this it was added.
SETTINGS:
- In [sound set] [Dynamic Normalizer] functions were added.
Thanks for the emails, everyone. Lets see what happens next. ;)

only a few weeks until its cracked and firmware 3.10 OE-A is released
well its already decrypted downgrader will be released soon.
hey, where did you hear it got decrypted already ?
THE DOWNGRADER FOR FW 3.10 WILL BY HERE SOON BECAUSE THIS UPDATE IS FOR ALL REGION THAT MEAN IS EASY TO HACK
yur on crack
PSP SALES WILL ROCKET!!!!!!!
UBER 1337 WELL IT DOSENT DO ANYTHING YET THATS GAY I WANT TO CONTROL MY PS3
“[the Internet browser] [indication set] [memory economies] this it was added.”
Does this mean a better Internets Browser? (Less memory usage problems?)
Yes Less memory problem but lower resolution:(
So it is nothing better really
a few weeks? at the rate that the developers have been releasing things lately, I say within the week ;)
lol, I just knew there would be a new firmware today.
im waiting for the “3.10 d0wng4d3r plox” lol
woot woot sony doesnt give up
Thats a fake.
damn man everytime we get a kick ass break through they make a new firmware why dont they just give the fuck up
well its a good thing to if you think about it.. the more firmwares they put up.. the more features it gets.. and eventually all those firmwares will be hacked.. and then well have those features too =)
this has nothing to do with giving up, simple fact is PSP is made to have these firmware updates, because PSP really wasn’t a finish product (so to say). Sony didn’t put in a writable flash for no reason. Regardless of how much the homebrew community are advancing, they will always come out with “the next thing on their list”
Good point.
I R Teh 1337 $0NY Rep, I will eat yur BABIEZ!!!1111
sigh.. they realeasing 3.1 and im still learning all the features for my 3.03 OE-c… i wanna put more games other then ps1 and isoz.. lol any help :D
Play some classics like the nes or megadrive, they always brighten up my psp experiance
And you always got the SCUMMVM emulator.. wich kicks tush
whats the SCUMMVM
its an emulator for all those point and click games like original monkey island and indiana jones
another psp firmware. doesnt seem to have many major diffrences other than security. oh well!
The minute our community gets the upper hand, sony pulls the rug right out from under us. Its only a matter of time before the “tools” start whining about ugrading to 3.10 and want to use homebrew. I guess the Noobz team can’t ever rest.
have anybody the EBOOT pls?
Why? Are you going to upgrade like a dumbass?
i have a feeling that this firmware won’t be hacked or it will take a hell of a long time to be , because in this 3.10 sony must have patched lib TIFF and GTA and all other exploits .
Hacking it won’t be hard, what you meant to say Joe is making 3.10 downgradable would be tricky. But in software engineering, once the user has the keyboard (input) .. men it’s pretty damn hard to prevent them from doing whatever the f*** they want.
yes we no the same like 2.81 and up?
I wonder why the Koreans get the firmware update first? Haha. Sony’s biggest fear are the Koreans.
From what I understand, piracy runs rampant in korea and china. I’m sure thats a big reason why it was released there first.
yeah, asia is one of the biggest producers of piracy..
When I bought my Jap PSP in thailand, the seller told me “this 1.50. u play copies, no upgrade!” :P
rofl. Classic.
more then 80% of internet piracy starts in canada….
man sony really has to release somthing useful for their firmware updates. i dont see my self updating to the higher version unless it has somthing usefull and somthing i look forward. but still i like my 3.3OE-C too
lmao for BrendanL
“It enjoyed PLAYSTATION�”
lol does this increase the compatibility of PlayStation games
nah, it just means the PSP enjoys the ps1 games as much as we do
Lol
really who cares about korea
People.
Koreans
i kinda hope that sony actualy fully patch the psp now cause now less people want to make games for the psp lol
If that’s the case, then it could apply to all commercial seventh generation video game consoles, which all have been “cracked”. Yet still these machines thrive on the market.
More PSP consoles are in circulation than any of these [home console].
What crack have you been smoking this morning? More PSP’s than home consoles? Yeah, okay… Last time I checked PSPs were in the 3-5 million range… 360 hit the 10 million mark at the end of december and that’s with LESS time on the shelves. Nice try, but sadly even with the “lol” ending, Tru is right.
sony are really bad lossers actually i really should say directors because the people who work there dont think of the ideas
firmware 3.10 sounds so weird
can we download that firmware 3.10 on the korean page or on korean psp
yes on the korean page if you have a korean PSP & it would help if you was korean too, plus wasnt bothered about homebrew :P
If sony not to greedy on there products this firmware battle would end just let small time developer (homebrew) a chance to use there console and compete to others we will not have a problem dont you think. Guys like D.A., noobz, etc. have a greate potential in empowering more the use of this console. SONY JUST TO GREEDY MAKING MONEY ONLY FOR THEMSELVES and OTHER BIG COMPANYS. Think small… this small people if united can bring you all down… not just for the money just for the fun of it :)
Basically that would mean homebrew compatability, and NO possibility Iso’s.. and you’d have to get a PS3 to play PS1 games
Pssh. Most likely, the only reason why Sony is trying to keep us from having homebrew is because of ISOs. If it wasn’t for that, then they probably would add official homebrew support.
wow… there’s not point in releasing. every1 who is smart enuf had used 3.03 dg to dg. lol. sony is screwed. i wonder wut comes for psp2 if it comes that is. they might not even come out with it if every1 is gonna downgrade. haha
Well.. 3.10.. Dont upgrade if u still want to use homebrew.. thas all i can say :)
watch some stupid guys gonna upgrade and then curse Dark Alex for not releaseing a downgrader for it
wouldn’t be a hombrew community without them :P
why would you wont this?
why would you need any higher than 3.01
sony is just getting so stupid, they should add somthink cool with the updates
i reckon dark alex should make a update of his firmwire again and include somethink so it can be sony vs dark alex lol
why would you need any higher than 3.01?
Because 3.03 OE-C lets you play your own PS1 games without a PS3 for one..
What is a Dynamic Normailizer?
thats ME
Im guessing its like an equlaizer for songs
that would be good.
i love this 1 …
its an seriously HOMEBREW stolen version from sony ever … i could mention several things areas and ideas … directly comming from BUGGY homebrew :D LOL
And as soon as every firmware can be downgraded..
Sony releases a new one
Faggotz are gonna be on here asking for a 3.10 downgrader in no time…
let the fags keep their shit stinking psp for them selfs
so this one kinda sucks but better memory problems?
oh, I ran update! Now on 3.1, n can no run homebrew! Plz some one create downgrader for 3.1, I not give up homebrew! plz plz plz plz plz!
I SERIOUSLY HOPE YOU ARE JOKING?
I mean how dumb are you people?
ohhh…….now sony wants to give us an update! well fuck that! my PSP’s next upgrade will be downgrade. my PSP will be 3.03 until it’s 1.5.
that makes no sense whatsoever
uhhhh…. by the way anybody got an unpatched GTA:LCS i can borrow. SHARING IS CARING FOLKS!!!
I have three copies of unpatched GTA:LCS :-)
(Melbourne)
hey any chance i could barrow one of those copies
rayonok@yahoo.com
i would but the cost posting it would be expensive
what do u mean r u in the LOS ANGELES area
SONY ATACA DE NUEVO
why dony just sny gives up?? afterall 3.10 is gonna be hacked for sure
dude it is almost done already d.a. is almost done
i wus in the gamespot forums a little while ago, some guy said he actually wanted to update, sumtin about piracy and the psp dyin cuse of homebrew
think of this.. if sony gave up on updating firmware.. there gonna stop making games for the psp.. then eventualyl die.. and then no new homebrew anymore..
Sony does not make the games buddy…
Yes we dooo! Turds Part 2 on UMD, Christmas 2007, check it!
the point was that homebrew actually gives reason to have a psp not those half assed games that are coming out right now well there are a few games that can be forgiven
at the rate that the downgraders are coming out, this this will be downgradable before it comes out in the US! lol that would be total ownege!!!!
i have da ps4 prto type lol
u lie
There is news out that it has already been decrypted.
its fake.
yah its fake some noob gave DAX a 3.03 decrypted one…lol
You sure?
3.10 update now available through network update for US. downloaded 1/29/07 10:20pm pst time
DLed here too.
Ooohhhh,… Chony is scared… BTW, when will Chony realize scene has nothing to do with piracy… but with more in depth development of their machine?
Why are u guys unhappy about a new Sony update?
It’s a benefit to us isn’t it?
Usually, not. Normally the major updates are hidden (not declared) “security” fixes, related on downgrading or using homebrews. That´s it, on pursuing Scene like if everibody would be a “pirate” or so.
Sony should realize that the most of the people that uses homebrews, -also- -buys- -games-. And, if scene is a good reason for a person to buy a PSP, doesn´t it benefit Sony? And, if that person that already has a PSP, buys a game (even just one game) to try the console before “sceneing” it? Does Sony count that sold consoles and games as benefits or loses?
Einh, einh?
http://0okm.blogspot.com/2007/01/psp-fw-310-released.html
A US 3.10 update is available at 0okm’s website.
I so hope no one updates! to 3.10 I assume by now that almost everyone has downdated to 1.5 then to 3.03 OE-C dont update its not worth it.
Well i think i’ll be giving this firmware a miss but well done Sony, it gives Dark_Alex something to get his teeth into and rip to s**t :D
=D CANT WAIT FOR DARK ALEX CUSTOM FW think the name will be 3.10oe a =D
I just download Korea 3.10 and no like it, can I go back to 3.03-oe b and play isos?
are u crazy? are u made up of nuts?
why did u upgrade from 3.03oe-b? u just noobish go fk some wall or hang to death for buying a PSP!!!!
LOLZ FUCKING SONY
I remember getting my PSX for xmas when it came out- the big chunky game cases, raising a Gold Chocobo in FF7, the Resident Evil bad acting & zombie-dogs crashing through the windows, steadying Snake’s heartbeat when sniping in Metal Gear Solid… it really is cool playing them on the PSP again
okay last bit didn’t make sense, but you know what I mean lol
this is gai son just give up dark_alex i gunna kick ur assssssssssss
i ean sony soz about that dark alex is awsome
I updated to this with the file from 0okm and I get an error and now MGS portable ops won’t start anymore? Anyone else have this problem with any other ISOS?
ah ha u suck ah ha, that wat updating gets u fool. thats the consequence, no more loading isos for you anymore. you just screwed yourself.
all i can say is your fucking stupid, you updated your firmware and now you want to load ISOs again hahahahaha….. so idiot get a gun and play russian roullete on yourself ^_^
3.03OE-C FTW (Hail Dark Alex!!!!!)
No you don’t understand! I now have 3.10 and I get a software not working error when I run devhook. Not the ISO, devhook, n00bs. So did 3.1 break devhook? Is there a patch???
l33thacks, what you dont understand is that by upgrading to 3.10, you have effectively made your psp homebrew-less..which means no devhook, and no iso for you anymore.
Oh, and there’s no way for you to downgrade it yet..so, yeah..sucks to be you..sorry
L33thacks, you don´t get it, do you? You updated your PSP with the OFFICIAL Sony firmware, not a custom firmware like DA´s stuff. No more homebrew/ISO for you, run the original MGS game umd instead, which I am sure you do own…LOL
Is he really serious? Cuz if he is, maybe it’ll teach him to actually READ the article before doing something like that.
Wow.
Baka teme. (Japanese for “you idiot!”)
L33thack get a gun and stick it in your mouth and play russian roullette for being such a dumb ass fool….. whatever you say or excuses you make your still one BIG DUMB!!!!
Haha, that update is so stupid its not even funny…
My money is on this thing gettin’ cracked and devhook ready (And maybe 3.10 OE….?) in a few weeks.
The only thing Sony is trying to do is to keep the 3rd party developer’s happy. Honestly, Sony doesn’t care about homebrew. All the developers know is that a downgraded PSP can play any game available in iso format. Why develop for a globally hacked handheld and lose money? Even though a lot of you guys, including myself, only use the psp for homebrew, developers don’t know that. Sony is just trying to keep them happy, otherwise the PSP will see an early grave.
lol Dark alex might aswell change the version number for 3.03 with the lack of actual modifications by this update
I want video chat throught chotto shotto or somethin cool like that! :D
i would honestly suggest the removal of psp iso recognition. yes, this would be a major stepback for us all, but the other features more than make up for it. it would basically wipe out the pirate scene, relegating them to older games that run on older custom fw’s. i feel this would allow sony and DA to reach a suitable conclusion. they dont care that you wanna run your atari thru your psp, they just dont want you downloading killzone and eing a thieving bastard. all this sony give up shit is just that: shit. if they give up, so will developers. then you’ll ONLY have your homebrew…. anyone with a brain capable of more than ’sony r gai dood, pwned agen’ care to comment?
lack of ISO playing would be a hit to alot of people, but it might keep game-creators from turning away from the highly-pirated system
you wouldn’t want the FF13 games (3 of them) to be the last FF Square-Enix puts through sony, would you?
we need to find a comfortable area between full homebrew accessability and pirate-protection
done 3.10 with iso’s and homebrew thanks to dark alex’s flash0 and flash1 writing in recovery within 3.03oec
hello…. andy how did you do that…. pls give me info 3.10???? can play with iso’s??are you sure???? tnx….
Sony are playing a crafty game. they will never patch up all the holes in the firmware, they know its too much of a benefiet to them to have the homebrew scene, they make a profiet on every PSP sold, and we tend to be the ones buying the most of them. They are just doing this as quality control.
Right…currently Clicking on Update….but,,,Whats this? Summing is stopping me From Updating?? What is this AwSome Power???? FUCKING COMMEN SENSE!
my friend just bout a new psp, and its not a TA-082 mobo is that weird, brand new!
it would be relly messed up if sony released a mobo without a way of knowing what one it was.guess he just got lucky.
so he got an old mobo they still had laying around, so what? getting a 082 isn´t problematic anymore, they can be dg´d too, you know?!
Yo, I say we should start spreading rumors of an exploit in 3.1 firmware to get sony paranoid into releasing another 3 consecutive updates! Look what they did with 2.7 and 3.0! They released firmware after firmware (HUGE mistake) and ALL was hacked! And about the people who say,”sonys screwed”… Yeah they screwed themselves because their updates are fucking rank. Ooooohh…..It enjoyed PLAYSTATION?? It fixes Music? I want some MOTHERFUCKING F-E-A-T-U-R-E-S sony! GO FUCK YOURSELVES SONY, YOU CORPORATE WHORES! MAKE US PAY 300 BUX FOR A STICKER SIZED MEM CARD AND DONT GIVE US ANY FEATURES IN OUR UPDATES! YOU SHALL BE HACKED!
Yer Mom @_@
Yeah. I’m glad sony is putting out new firmwares. The PSP hackers/hombrew users are limited in number to the dumbasses who just use the PSP as is.
We need them. All you guys have to do is not upgrade. How hard is that?
and it’s gonna take a while for 3.10 PSPs to hit store shelves.
Lol cangis that’s funny that seller is a joker! :);)
There’s no reason for anyone to complain about downgrading because every firmware that’s on everyones PSP is downgradable. If you UPGRADED to 3.10 you’re a duuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmbbbbbbbb aaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssss nooooooooob
Look in the sky IT’S A BIRD, IT’S A PLANE, IT’S BOOSTER TO THE RESCUE. maby in a few weeks.
I appreciate $ony updates because it gives the PSP more functions for developers to work with to improve the quality of at least some of the games. Not only that but it gives the hacking GODS benchmark features to add and improve. Over all one hand washes the other. Just don’t update duuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmbbbbbbb aaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssss nnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooobbbbbb
“Hi, guys! I updated to 3.10. Now I want to go back to 1.50! Where is the downgrader for 3.10? :D”
JOKE! ^^
friend… no downgrader yet for 3.10 wait ….
WHATS NEXT?!!! AN UPDATE THAT FIXES ALL BUTTONZZ INCL. THAT DARN D-PAD AND THAT SHITTY ANALOG STICK.??!?!
Booooooooooooo! :-)
=|> Too bad, this firmware update offers some cool stuff!
Well at least it gives us something to do
Why no 1 make reverse for 3.10 to 3.03 OE A B or C? i upgrade to 3.10 and no like it, i want 0E-C, hey Dark Alex, make patch now!
are you trying to be funny? this thing just came out. Give it some time, it takes years or months to find a downgrader. Dark alex and noobs team are not god, so give it some time. Why don’t you try and downgrade it yourself if you can’t wait, don’t forced ppls in giving you demand.
Upgrading and coming on here and asking for a downgrader is just plain stupid :)
Does “Support for PLAYSTATION®Network titles has been expanded” means the ps1 emulation is better in 3.10?
Yeah You got L2 and R2. LOL.
I sure hope so. Don’t get me wrong; I LOVE the PS1 emulation, but as long as “Skullmonkeys” and “Ghost in the Shell” are crashing, I feel empty… and as a terminally-single, male, thirtysomething gamer who still obsesses on the PS1, that’s pretty damn empty. :)
Wasn’t it just a few firmware updates ago that they had said the PSP internal memory wasn’t enough for new features? They keep adding useless stuff to firmware updates if you ask me. I think they should remove the foreign language from the US firmware and the English out of other countries, etc….they already have firmware for specific countries so why have so many different language options for every country. Make an English one, Japaneese one, Chinese one, etc….may be more work, but it will leave space for more features. I also say, stop with the security patches, Sony, they aren’t working!
thank you SONY for making the psp.. but i aint upgrading anymore so to bad =)
dark alex what the heck are you waiting for!??!?! Hack this alreade i need some illegal isos to play. Its already decrypted for cryin out loud.
Its NOT decrypted
It’s ok… I believe in Dark Alex. He rules over Sony! Bwhahaha!!!
The downgrader for 3.03 will work for this i think beacause there is no security updates.
And believe me I tried it i have 3 PSP one or sonys firmware One for Dark alexes and one for skrewing with. I downgraded the one for screwing with from 3.10 to 1.50 with The 3.03 downgrader piece of cake!
hey, you.. Bitch! Cody! yeah you! hey bitch, yer a fucking liar!! FW3.10 HA SNOT BEEN DECRYPTED, AND THE DOWNGRADER DOES NOT WORK ON 3.10
I just saw that there is a Decrypter is out, check out the PSP-haxors mirror site. It’s really out, thanks to team C+D http://www.chaoszero.dajoob.com/home/?p=7
You people are all squirrel fuckers, I swear.
Sony, you’ve lost. Accept it. For every update you come up with, we will release an update as well. The difference? We’ll do it right.
Ew. Bestiality.
Anyway, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Believe me, I tried.
Yea i meant to say The downgrader for 3.03 will work for this, I think beacause there is no security updates notice the comma
After reading all of your posts, we have this to say: Yer all GAY! You made us give up because of your gayness pirating our beautiful UMD’s and not paying our outrageous prices for crap softwarez. Everyone should upgrade so you can be 1337, don’t worry, I got a downgrader in my office, ummm, over there in the filing cabinet next to the, um secretary and shit…
The best thing you can do for us IS homebrew anyway, this way you buy TWO PSP’s per person and we have you in our clutches now! BWAHAHAHA!!!
Slaves! You’re all slaves to us! Give us your dollars slaves that we may continue marketing a powerful handheld console and only use about 10% of it’s potential! Who cares if we even lose money on the console, we’ll force you to buy PS3’s and make you pay for PS1 games you already own! In the end, we own yer asses, we always have, remember our Walkmans? That made the company more money in the 80’s and 90’s than your puny ISO’s can piddle away, and we did it again with the Discman, TV’s, appliances, computers, PSX, PS2’s, so go on, enjoy your ISO’s for now you fools!
Because in the end, you can’t touch an international conglomerate corperation like us! We will eat your babies, and pay the Senators to pass a law to make it legal to do so!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
That’s really funny.
As Chuck Norris, I can not allow that.
Why can’t Sony just get along with us? Goodness!
SONY IS DEAD
@Sony_Rep
You only reveal what an evil your company is… pirating is bad and most of as here do care on game developer. and people here are told to be responsible legit game owner. as for your company i hope you have more happy days having a lot of money to suck on to your customers. coz your day are numbered with that atittude you got. you will only make more ppl in this community despise you.
Oh yeah? well STFU n00b yer momz gai!
Sony will rule the world with our 4.1238320102737 firmwarez now with extra crunch berries, Added security, oh yeah and we threw in another MP3 visual, it’s really cul, you should take a few hits of acid and play some Greatful Dead MP3’s on it it rulez!!11
allright apparently we have just decrypted 3.10 firmware from Team C+D
go check it out!

wOOt!!! Sony got owned again
PSP 2.00-> 2.60-> 2.71-> 2.8O-> 2.81-> 3.00-> 3.01-> 3.02-> 3.03-> 1.50-> 3.03OE-C-> brick-> 1.50-> 3.03OE-C XD
i got a long psp history
omg sony needs to give up i hate them no one better upgrade because first off yall will b able to downgrade and have a whole lot more capabilities and if u do decide to upgrade dont come naggin all of the programmers like dark alex to make a downgrader because it will b ur fault just dont do it newayz the new features prob. suck so i would advise u not to upgrade just dont do it.
Sony could give two shits and a fuck about homebrew. Homebrew makes the psp sale. 3rd party developers don’t want to make games for system, because they know it will get pirated and they will lose money. That’s probably why we are getting these half assed titles. Sony is just releasing updates to keep the 3rd party developers happy. Piracy cannot be stopped so I think the PSP will die because of it. Is the NDS being hacked this bad?
Hallo Dark Alex, I suck your pee-pee if you make downgrade 3.10 to 3.03
You know what? One of two things is gonna happen:
1) Sony keeps trying and eventually finds a security patch that WORKS, thereby relegating all the ‘homebrew’ fans (Id like to know how many actually run homebrew rather than just pirating) to working with whatever they have at the time….
OR
2) Sony and all publishers say ” Fine, stick the psp up your arses” and abandon it…….
We’ll see how many people continue to use and comment on this site when that happens.

This is the link to the news for the Team C+D 3.10 Downgrader, they so hella badass and fast at this, and alot of ppl were right about how quick stuff can come out now!
I think the way forward for me personally, as somebody who downloads isos to test out potential game purchases before (honestly) deleting them (”Thrillville” was the familiar good idea/poor execution, “Rocky Balboa” wasn’t terribly good, nor was the new “Fight Night”), is to get more demos out there on the Sony site – renting them costs up to $9 or so for two nights, and that’s ridiculous, especially when (if I decide to purchase) I have to tack on that $9 to the price of the game – it’s a very bad situation, and I haven’t bought a new UMD for around a year, mostly due to the bad software – I may plump for “Field Commander” and “GTA: VCS” at some point soon, but let’s just say I’m slightly disgruntled that I’ve perhaps bought the wrong handheld again (I remember buying the superior hardware of the GameGear over the software superior Game Boy) – if it wasn’t for homebrew I’d be *exceptionally* unhappy as I think that “Wipeout Pure” has been the only truly great game on the console, with so many near misses elsewhere where the games are good, but just ill-suited or flawed in a couple of major ways. Thank-goodness for “The Secret of Monkey Island” (my personal favourite game of all-time) and ScummVM, the latter going a long way to justifying the console’s price. Sony have missed a really great opportunity to integrate such homebrew, to “normalise” it – I know it’s hard to set up some sort of regulation concerning multi-platform emulation, and Nintendo may have (as an example), in such an approach, kicked Sony while they were down by refusing to even consider licensing out past games, but at least it would have absolved both Sony and the homebrew community at least from a degree of responsibility concerning emulation of Nintendo software – Sega have at least put out a collection, for example. Sony would say it’s not their place to ask for such things, but they have created a console with enough power, and enough security loopholes, to encourage a radical homebrew community – after all, if the scene has hackers that can break the work of Sony’s staff, then a dialogue must started between Sony and this particular community, not to mention a long-overdue conversation Sony needs to have with the past (emulation generally, and also the PSX), and the future (the very poor, and very cynical, decision to tag the PSX’s emulation on PSP to the PS3, surely one of the worst decisions of modern gaming).
This lack of balance (both on our side, and on Sony’s) is attested to in a recent article in U.K. magazine “Edge”:
“If Sony wants people to believe that hacking is no laughing matter, it should really do something about the farcical relationship it continues to share with PSP’s underground community. As if the instantaneous exploitation of its 3.02 firmware wasn’t enough (its security circumvented by pre-existing firmware emulation software), the yuletide antics of Hollywood-grade hacker ‘dark_alex’ must have had its manufacturer wondering whether to hire him (or indeed her) or have him shot” (Issue 172, p. 22).
The article continues on to speak of the emulation of the PSX, and “Edge” appears to criticise Sony in mentioning how Sony continue only to put forward “its stance on piracy in general”, instead of just opening up and addressing the problem. I would personally feel better as a gamer if the company I continue to hold a level of respect for (no matter this PS3 and PSP nonsense) would afford me (and my hacking friends here) some honesty because I consider that I have an investment in the intellectual future of the PSP – each of us share a wish to ensure the PSP’s survival, both as legitimate console and as hotbed for “alternative” development, and the point I wish Sony would get is that it is easier for all of us to rationalise isos, to rationalise other illegal activities, if those who are out that to discipline us reply only in the abstract.

Preach on irishdoody
well said irishdoody.
God allways with capital G Waka. Thank you.
Irishdoody has a good concept there; download ISOs before buying games because I don’t know of any place that rents out PSP games and I am not going to pay $39 for a game I have never played. I downloaded Infected ISO before I bought it. I am a sucker for games with blood/gore and I wasn’t sure how well the PSP graphics would be compared to home consoles especially having owned Game Boy, Game Gear and Atari Lynx and noticing the graphics on hand-held systems do NOT hold up. I under-estimated the power of the PSP. The graphics on it are great and I soon realized this after I made my purchase last year. I think they should rent out PSP games at local game stores to try them before buying them.
irishdoody, read the edge article and agree with alot of what it (and you) said. However, the retarded comments of what must be mentally challenged people like Dr. Jesus H Christ Abdul Hussein Jr. III have caused me to lose faith in the homebrew scene and until the pirates are stamped out and a genuine homebrew scene established then a few well-informed and intelligent comments from you and others like you will do nothing to make me feel any different. Although will be interesting to see how many ” Yeah I delete em too” posts come up as a result of you effectively giving them an excuse (Not your fault btw, they’d find one anyway to justify their pathetic thieving lives…). Huge respect for homebrew…. disgust for piracy.
Holy damn Irish Doody you have a hell of a lot of time, but it’s a nice speech! Restekpa!
Dark Alex Rule!!!!!
I Think one day sony will realize that with added security it just makes the haxxorz more keane to hack it, because they see it as a challange,
The Ultimate solution for homebrew and upgrade issue — Just buy 2 PSP. One with custom fw, another just plain old Sony up-to-date fw…!!!
Money is almost the solution for all problem…!!!
u guys are all some fucking nerds
I think that about only %20-%30 of the people here are ‘nerds’, some are N00bs, and the rest just want to play old games/homebrew.
DArk aleX…..help me !!!
