PSP Firmware 3.11 Is Out!

greg | February 8, 2007

Update:

Game

  • Support for PLAYSTATION®Network titles has been expanded.
  • [Reset Game] has been added as an option to the menu for PLAYSTATION®Network titles

Beware firmware flashing fiends… The official 3.11 firmware update is now available via Network Update. Supposedly it focuses on fixing compatibility issues for certain PlayStation Network titles.

If you wish to check it out, download it here.

Updating to 3.11 will render your PSP incompatible with homebrew.

And, so you know, Team C+D’s decrypter for 3.10 works on 3.11, too.

Thanks for the heads up Sanchez.

Not the dreaded asparagus!

Bah, POS Sony trying to keep us from having fun with our PSPs. I just finished (just now) upgrading to 3.10A and to A2. Then I reload the page and I see this crap. Oh well, another one to get decrypted and released in about a week and a half.

Sony, you not only embarrass Dark Alex with these pathetic attempts at “security”, you embarrass yourself.
How about you spend a little less time on trying(or should I say failing) at locking up your portable, and spend a little more time adding new features, to make it more desirable platform.

2007-02-08 01:56:52

not cool? because then if he joined “the team” he would be working for SONY and not for the COMMUNITY… so he wouldn’t be HACKING the firmware of the company he is WORKING for :|

Comment by axelixc
2007-02-08 02:03:54

oh mickice mice…

d_a is not the person easily contented if Sony offers. he is doing this bcoz he likes it…as a hobby not bcoz of money. if he wants to join sony….loooooooong time already did.

otoh, sony wouldn’t gv up with psp coz they already confirm tat there’ll be no psp2. they can’t afford to start psp2 developement coz ps3 is killing them. so dun worried, u still hv few year to play with it. cheers !

Comment by axelixc
2007-02-08 02:09:07

not exacly correct. d-A never releases anything tat attracts legal action. all codes he wrotes r not sony copyright materials. evethough if sony knows him(they probably knew him), they can’t do anything coz d_a has his rights to write any code tat doesn’t infrindge sony copyright.

There will be no PSP2 in the near future or pretty much the far future, Sony’s “credit” advisers have told them the PS3 id doing more harm than good and at the moment, they are losing money and will continue to do so for quite some time, much more than though of previously. It’s their fault for rushing out that big bulky piece of shit and horrible collection of titles, etc…

BTW – stay tuned as Sony is going to releaase some “news” about the PSP and their “firmware”

I reckon DAX works for Sony anyway, its all a big money making scam by Sony!! If you can play homebrew then you are going to sell more PSP’s and in turn more memory cards!! Plus not everyone can downgrade so they still make money from UMD sales!!

Roll on the next update!

Comment by Systematic Suicide
2007-02-08 06:35:05

If you want to downgrade to 3.03, that means you were stupid enough to update from 3.03 or lower. Pretty much every PSP site threw up red flags saying “WE CAN DOWNGRADE ALL PSPs NOW! BUT THERE’S A NEW FIRMWARE A-COMIN, SO LOOK OUT!”

So, in short, if you’re at anything higher than 3.03, its your own damned fault. Nub Cake.

Comment by Rat
2007-02-08 23:27:56

It isn’t Sony per se. Sony is a bunch of smaller (but still quite large) groups: Sony Music, Sony Pictures, Sony Consumer Electronics, Sony Computer Entertainment, etc. It is the content groups (Music, Pictures, et al.) that are screwing over the customers. Excellent case in point: MiniDisc and NetMD. Cool ideas, very well implemented by Sony Consumer Electronics, utterly crippled by Sony Music. The content groups are doing exactly the same thing with PSP. By all rights the UMD should be recordable, and PSP should be the next generation of MiniDisc, and in fact PSP should be 100% backwards compatible with MiniDisc. But, no, Sony Pictures and Music don’t want that because MiniDisc failed — never mind that it failed *because* of Sony Music crippling it — so PSP can’t have it.

you are lying. Any of DA’s custom FW has protection built in so that you cannot run official sony updates whether from network update or the sony website. If you try to run it, you get the error (DADADADA). Who the hell are you trying to impress with you lies?

Gi133, try booting your PSP while holding the right shoulder button, to see if you can access the recovery menu. If you can, you could use recovery to save your PSP and revert to 1.5 by enabling USB mode, dropping the 1.5 updated EBOOT into the recovery folder (/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY) and naming it EBOOT.PBP then going to “Run program at…” on your menu.

Good luck, and sorry someone bricked your PSP.

i just “downgraded” to 3.03 OEC from 3.10 oeA2 and then ran it again in 3.03 OEC. Didnt do anything except reinstall 3.03 OEC. Whoever screwed with your psp probably turned it off midway through the installation and it never reinstalled the recovery files. Looks like you need a modchip

stupid ppl, if sony is so damn stupid and you hate its updates, then you wouldnt have psx games on it, havent read anything new on that ps1 emu that some ppl developed so shut the hell up.
its so pitiful to read ppls comments when they dont do anything(no devs speaking)

 
Comment by superman124d
2007-02-08 09:45:13

I hope you aint rying to refer to me Mozex. I love my homebrew apps on my psp. just hate all the tieving CUNTS (like systematic below you by the sounds of it) who exploit all the hard work that DAX puts in to run pirate games on their psps. Guarantee if DAX’ next update removed the ability to run iso’s, half the numbnuts’ here would call him/her an asshole and quit the scene, without upgrading their homebrew. I love DAX and al those who work their asses off to give the rest of us great apps that we arent capable of making ourselves. Sony WOULD quit with the retarded security updates if all the thieving CUNTS stopped misusing the software we were being given. The joke of it is…. EVEN DAX SAYS BUY THE FUCKING GAMES!!!!!!!! The sheer volume of morons who pass themselves for people continues to astound me. The response Ill no doubt get? Take your pick from the followin:

Superman u NOOB! Go and suck sony cock
FUCK OFF nub, u no nofin
or the ever popular:
OMFG WTF? SHUT UP NOOOOOOOB

Always reminds me of the level of maturity involved in the homebrew scene…….

Comment by Mozex
2007-02-08 10:17:56

No, I’m not refering to you, I’m refering to those who dont appreciate all the hard work DAX put into this. When he released his recent update, alot of ppl complained and said “It sux” etc. That´s what pisses me off!

Ppl seem to take DAX for granted and when things aint working properly, they flame his ass and totally disrespect the guy…

As far as I know, DAX is the only one who keep making custom FW for all of us to enjoy, he´s the one who “feed” our PSP´s with all updates and CW´s, and you dont wanna bite the hand that feeds you.

(again, I’m not refering to you, but to all those who says DAX´s firmware sux!

 
Comment by Systematic Suicide
2007-02-08 10:38:57

You’re the one who proves the degraded mentality of the scene. I was only saying that people throw DAX’s firmware into damnation because of ISO support. And they’re idiots. ‘Nough said.

You’re the one running around using big boy words like “cunt” in such a little boy way. Stop running around cussing people out like you’re mr. big man, get your head out of your ass, and clean the SHIT out of your ears, as well as your mouth.

Enough of the arguments; all I’m going to say, is that Sony is wasting money and effort in releasing firmwares just for “security,” instead of for features as they used to. They’re driving themselves into a corner for no good reason at all. Dark_AleX is liberating more and more PSPs every day, and Sony is trying to fight the unstoppable. That’s all I’m saying.

Comment by superman124d
2007-02-08 11:24:15

and all im saying is that if we could eliminate the pirate scene (fair enough removing iso suppoort is a bit drastic) sony would be less inclined to keep pumping out these inevitably useless security updates. They are having to spend so much time releasing these to defeat the pirates. They are more than happy I would imagine to have homebrew devs like D_A bringing ever more attention to their console. And as a side note, I use the word cunt because thats what pirates are… cunts. If your not then i apologise for any offence. But to those who are…. yeah, you are.

Complain about updates if you want, but if Sony NEVER updated from the first firmware, then there would be NO PS1 emulator for the PSP. We’d be on firmware 1.0–which wouldn’t be too bad, but still doesn’t beat playing playstation games on the PSP.

The reason third party Developers aren’t able to make a PS1 emulator as well as Sony is because Sony doesn’t have to reverse engineer to make an emulator. Sony knows EXACTLY how their hardware works, third party PSP developers have to guess how the hardware–they aren’t given the hardware/software specifications to be able to optimize their emulators. DON’T PUT THE PSP DEVELOPERS DOWN.

If Sony tried to make a N64 emu (yes that’ll never happen, but just bare with me), I bet they wouldn’t do too much better than Daedalus, since they don’t have the hardware specfications for the N64. They would have to start from scratch and reverse engineer until they had a workable speed for games.

How the hell do you have this posted BEFORE the Sony PSP site has it posted. I wouldn’t bother with working on this decryption untill the real 3.11 is posted.

But anyways, I can’t wait for 3/11oe-a :D

Honestly, I think it would be a great idea to put an iso blocker on the OE firmwares. What keeps a system alive is its games. Sony isn’t selling the number of games they should because they are being pirated. I have no problem with homebrew, but with piracy I do. A majority of PSP games suck because the developers don’t want to spend $hit loads money to make a game that will be stolen. Hell they might as well spend $2 million dollars to develop a AAA title and give every single copy away for free. You don’t want anyone else to steal your $hit, so stop stealing theirs. I don’t blame developers for not wanting to develop for the PSP. Sony doesn’t mind homebrew, all they want is to stop games from being pirated. Keep homebrew, but block isos all together. If we don’t, then expect to be stuck with a handheld that’s no longer supported. Thanks for fucking it up for the rest of us.

Don’t know about you but I hate carrying around those lil cds if I don’t have to.

very true. Obviously piracy can’t be stopped and I know there won’t be an iso blocker either. It’s a freedom that we are entitled to and what we do with it is our own choice. Just like life itself.

Comment by Daikenkaiking
2007-02-08 19:00:20

Correct. ISO’s are used to play personal backups of YOUR games. If you choose to pirate the games, thats your problem.

You’ve got a very valid point, but one person’s complaining wont stop the piracy. If your against ISOs that’s fine. It’s your own buisness. But if your like me and thousands of other people in the hacking community, you’ll download the ISOs for free.

You’ll be surprised on how many people have no idea about anything when it comes to hacking the PSP. There are still thousands upon thousands of people out there buying PSP titles from stores.

Comment by Kadnassio
2007-02-08 22:40:12

In my opinion, go out and buy UMDs whether you can download the iso or not. Tekken:DR, MGS, as well as many others are good games to purchase in order to show your support to the developers. Yeah, I could have dumped the Tekken UMD, but I went and bought it instead to show my support and respect to Namco.

Hi everyone as Kadnassio say we can’t blame the developers for give us bad games, everyone here know PSP games are not good enough for tthe hardware capacities but honestly if we dont support the develop of good games buying the games who will do? I know the piracity is something we cant stop at all, at least in my conuntry (Mexico) it cant… because the games are so expensive here… but we cant live stealing everything, stop say F**k $ony because the meke the PSP if they never do it your where not here in this site… stop piracity, I love D_A OE firmwares because the homebrew is great and event so I can play my old PSone games everywhere, But lets stop Piracity If you like the game then BUY IT no matter if then you ripp it to a memory card and play iso but But your games good comment Kadnassio

It’s your own choice like everything in life. People that try to push their beliefs into you and try to make you be like them make me sick, If you don’t like ISO’s then don’t download them and leave those who do ALONE!!!!! Not like you are our mother

when is sony gonna realize that without the hackers, there would be no psp. The psp is the worst selling handheld system. The games are too expensive, the games are not fun, umd is another dead sony format, and people will only buy the psp cause it’s hackable. Sony, thanks for making a great hackable system, but seriously, stop trying to shut us down, without us no one will buy your products.

Yeah one of my reasons for buying the PSP was so I could put emulators on it and play. And I was also thinking StrmNrm will eventually be able to create a fully functionable N64 emulator.

Haha. Sony wont eva’ learn. I got friends buying PSPs b/c they see the wonderful world of hacks and emulators on my psp. What I do is simply advertise the PSP as a great console and more peopl continue to buy PSPs.
Sony just give in!

on further inspection of PSX titles, I recon this isn’t a secuirity patch as i first thought. Some games just do not go past their WARNING screens or their copyright screens, like spiderman 2: Enter Electro and Resident Evil: Nemesis

what alot of morons need to realize is that not all sony updates are an attempt to stop homebrew
alot of what they need to work on right now is compatability with PS1 games
they know they can never stop the homebrew community fully, no more than we can stop THEM from updating
the only way to stop one is to stop the other, thus ending BOTH in a useless manner for stupid reasons

as for that issue on ISOS…. go buy the game losers….
old game systems are fine to get backups of…. stuff that isnt avilable in retail stores anymore (pretty much anything pre-PS1/GC)

id like to see a custom firmeware that drops ISO support for PSP games (not PS1 games, some people actually OWN the games themselves and burn them- you know…. actually buying it at least once) and add plug-ins to support other console games (so you could go directly into the GAMES menu and go to your memory stick, and have them like PS1 games currently on OE firmwares, not needing any specific emulator

Hi i also updated coz i thought they wont ben HEN for 2.81 or a downgrader….. o.k i know y some of u try to decrypt their psp, it won’t work unless its downgraded and it sorta works for me… I rename psardumper2 and psardumper2% psardump and psardump2 and copied the eboot wich was from psardumper2% and owerwrote the oda file. when i started the game, it would start and when it says PLAY STATION PORTABLE(in da begining) it would get stuck for 10 secs and then would turn off. but it didn’t get decrypted…
ps: playing syphon filter dark mirror demo – i beat lol
