Sony Firmware 3.52 Released

greg | July 24, 2007

Holy firmware updates Batman! Along side the Sony PS3 firmware update, we now have 3.52 for the PSP. Of course PSP Hacks does not recommend updating to 3.52; if you do, say goodbye to all your hand held homebrew. Perhaps we’ll see 3.52 M33-X, then it’s a safe upgrade. :)

Check back for the official changelog whenever that’s made available at the PlayStation website.

Game

  • New for 3.52: Support for PLAYSTATION®Network titles has been expanded.

That’s it… Sounds a little fishy…

that boring **** who would update to that?

Comment by Daniel Briggs
2007-07-25 02:12:29

Well I will when Team M33 hacks it. Added support for network titles means they are improving their ps1 emulator, so may Lammy’s guitar will sound better in Um Jammer Lammy.

Typo. Meant maybe.

Well i guess sony is pulling out all the stops to patch any problems they have.. But with every upgrade you’ll find a hacker finding ways to break it.

Hopefully there will be new hot features that makes us wait until new M33 CFW.

Doubt it. Sony has exhausted all their resources into preventing hacking instead of actually making their console better.

Comment by Aeon
2007-07-24 17:40:48

thats true…i still dont understand, why sony is so agressive against hackers. homebrew is not just playing super-mario (as they say) and has given so many people the reason to actually buy a console

I would see it pointless to make a 3.52 CFW considering this update has just about nothing to it.

Comment by Daniel Briggs
2007-07-24 12:30:37

Didn’t you read my 1st comment?

“Added support for network title”

Means they are improving their ps1 emulator.

2007-07-24 12:45:48

what….. no. they dont have a ps1 emu to begin with. the added support for network titles just means u now have to update your psp for a useless matter just so that u can play your new store bought umd. really the only thing that support added for network titles just means that under current firmware is a diff number thats all that it really does.

Hé Dumbass it’s true.

- they change firmware.
- they changey encryption.
- people buy games.
- people find out games need firmware.
- people upgrade!

Only problem is that hackers are faster!

How do you explain the fact that I’m able to take my own psx cd, dump it into an iso image file, Use ZingaBurga’s POPStation GUI to convert the iso image into an eboot, and play it on my psp. Google pops. Explain how I’m Playing Gran Turismo and Um Jammer Lammy at full speed? How long have you been away? Sony’s psx emulator has been out for about a year now, and they even announced the plans for it about 2 1/2 years ago. Your a dumbass.

your both lozers. get a life. before one of u two decide to to come at me with a comback, read your replies and see how pissed of the two of u r. just for the two of u to get all worked up over nothing. i hope someone throws both your psps in the lake.

Comment by Daniel Briggs
2007-07-24 14:26:33

I’m not pissed off. I’m just trying to say that you should really do your research before talking about something you obviously know nothing about. And it makes no difference if someone thows my psp in a lake because they’re not expensive at all; only about $150 each so I could just go buy another one.

Hey, you know, if ya win the special Olympics, you’re still a retard, right?

Same rules apply.

And besides… It’s not REALLY an emulator, as the ISO is converted to a format playable by the PSP.

You fucking dimwit, don’t talk shit to people that correct your stupidity.

 
Comment by Koji
2007-07-24 18:24:07

L, you have no idea what you’re talking about either. It is an emulator, the eboot is simply a container for the ISO. It doesn’t magically convert a PS1 game into PSP code.

I suggest doing some research yourself. It’s not right to insult others for being misinformed, while you yourself are.

 
Comment by philippecr
2007-07-24 20:50:56

the new version of PS1 emulator might solve some of the games problem tat POP gives. like FF8 and RE2.

But let’s see did they do it. :D

 
Comment by NeonGen
2007-07-28 00:00:35

How about this…
SONY has all the fixes .. (because the got THOUSENDS of people working for them)!
But they need a reason to upgrade to a higher firmware (so whenever there’s an CFW coming out they can change the number and possible encryption).
I mean look at FW’s like 2.71 and now 3.51 and 3.52 and some other i forgot all small fixes like added support for demo’s and now added support for PNT’s

But you have to update to be able to connect the PSP to Ps3. Right?

Comment by Daniel Briggs
2007-07-24 20:30:52

Not if you have custom firmware. 3.51 M33 - 7 is the best.

cant wait to see all the noobs crying and complaining because they “accidently updated and want to know how to downgrade”

2007-07-24 12:51:54

they didnt “accidentally” update they just didnt know about homebrew at the moment. but once they found out about homebrew then they start to complain.

I wonder if there is gonna be a 3.53, 3.54, 3.55, etc…until the redesign b/c it’s gonna be 3.6 according to the video clip they showed on here, too bad the 3.6 firmware hasn’t leaked out somewhere and the M33 team could be cracking it as Sony releases these minor useless updates, personally i dont think PS1 emulation on PSP is that good due to the lack of Dual Analog sticks and the lack of the L2/R2 buttons….As far as I remember, even the first game(s) on the PS1 used the L2/R2 buttons….I think instead of worrying with the PS1 emulation, they should add more features, like AVI play-back or something along that line….

Comment by NeonGen
2007-07-28 00:31:36

Support for more codecs would be nice yes but AVI is broad spectrum.
I think it’s just impossible get all AVI to work but divx, xvid and mpeg 1 and 2 would be nice.

Dam man first thing when I wake up sony psp 3.52 lol!
Actually I feel much safer now since doesnt matter who uses my PSP, my network update is disactivated (with ultimate flasher something) whenever you press it, the analog stick will be activated to move through the XMB :D (I love this feature since you never know what might happen if you let a noob use your PSP)
Now, I want to know the changelog of this FM so bad! I know it has more compatibility with PS1 games and also security strengthen.
Why doesnt sony let us use freakin AVI and MPEg files, I hate that so much…

Comment by Noise Reducer
2007-07-24 14:27:18

My PSP is just for me to touch and play with. Its called ownership. Certain things are not ment to be shared.

2007-07-28 00:42:52

AVI is never going to work.
For all the video noobs out there they can’t work on a AVI codec because AVI is a container not a codec.
MPEG is a codec, DivX is a codec AVI isn’t

No infrared, why did Sony even put it in PSP? they never used it, only us homebrew users have a use for it… yup its sad that its not gonna be in slimline PSP… but thats $ony for you, cutting costs and charging more, to recoupe losses.

Well is not that I let everybody use my PSP, but if for some reason that happens, Im protected :D

Let say your friend asks you to check out what videos or music u have, those are the cases Im talking about. I wouldnt let a stranger or some little kid use it. Thats my point ;)

I wouldnt trust the new PSP. New motherboard and FM 3.60 are making me think that Noobz will have to spend some time trying to find a glitch in order to downgrade it (or just hack it and make it Custom) because I heard PSP Slim will NOT work if it detects a lower FM than 3.60…

Hi, I was wondering how you can downgrade this 3.52 since I updated from 3.03. I read somewhere that some guy said to update to 3.52 since he was working on a downgrader for it. I havent used my Psp in like months. Someone plz help me downgrade, he told me I need Lumines. I just got the game on ebay for like $67 and just updated to 3.52. How can I downgrade?

Comment by Janggut
2007-07-24 19:25:51

take note u have to upgrade to fw3.50 & not fw3.52 then u have to use lumines to downgrade. remember if u update to fw3.51 or fw3.52 so u need to wait for looooooooong time to downgrade………….that mean no homebrew cfor u.
