PSP Firmware 5.03 Released *Updated*
greg | January 20, 2009
Update: It’s been confirmed: Firmware 5.03 indeed patches the GripShift save game exploit.
Sony has officially released PSP firmware 5.03. Now there isn’t much detail at this time; however, if you’re a PSP-3000 owner holding on tight to your GripShift UMD, I’d recommend not updating, not yet anyway…
According to Eric Lempel, “this is a small update that improves system software stability during use of some features.”… Yeah, I bet.
We’ll keep you posted.

System software stability eh? Sounds like a fix to me.
It’s exactly what they say. “improves system software stability” – prevents some software (i.e. GripShift) from crashing. “during use of some features” – i.e. during the part where it loads your save file.
Thank you for clarifying my post for me, I must have put in too much subtlety, as nobody but you seems to have gotten it well enough to tell me what my own post was about.
Once again, thank you o wise one
hahahaha stability?
I just raise my finger and say: Just Bite here
It has been confirmed that this update patches the GripShift exploit. If you want to do any updating…give 3.50 M33-6 a go…
Lol you meant 5.00M33-6 didn’t you ?
did you not read my 2nd corrected comment below your witty observation?
lol…make that 5.00 M33-6…or if you like kicking it old school…3.50 is still a good choice!
Go fuck your self Eric Lempel “software stability” my ass they’ll hack that too bitch
Uhh LoL We Really Don’t Want To Hack Stability Here
i think my name says it all but just incase it doesnt fuck you sony burn in hell
without sony there would be no psp you fucking tard, so stfu
AHAHAHAHA owned…
let me give ua example:
sony=food
we/us=ants
sony=poison food
lol
i think my name says it all but just in case. FUCK YOU SONY LET HOMEBREW LIVE YOU BASTARDS
tell us how you really feel…
Dir.. from your reading your comment especially the last one.. i have to give it up to you.. your pretty hilarous.. keep it up =]
Sure, if you find hackneyed one-liners from the 90s hilarious…
Its not that he’s using “hackneyed one-liners from the 90s”, its that he’s using them well.
He posted responded to an ignorant all-caps post with a line that wasn’t even all that clever when it was new, let alone now, just as thousands, probably tens of thousands, have done before him…Brilliant.
He responded*
do you want a square go prick?
hey man sony fucking rules alright always have been ALpha and homebrew/MOding Will live Forever, people over at sony are a bunch of bastards but cmon man Sony gots to do whatcha got to do, we are the virus so to say to them
LoL You Know If Sony Would Just Let People Make Homebrew None Of This Would Really Be Happening (And They Are Retarded Because If They Did Allow It They’d Be Making Ton Of Cash And Be On Top Of The Nintendo And XBOX) Though Kernal Access Stuff They Shouldnt Let That Get Through The System
Though Still They Would Still Be Alot Of Hackers Because Of Hacks, Emulators, and Pirating…
P.S. Post Below What You Think XBOX Portable Would Be Called
I Say XCUBE =P
Xbox portable would be called GAYNESS
“LoL You Know If Sony Would Just Let People Make Homebrew None Of This Would Really Be Happening (And They Are Retarded Because If They Did Allow It They’d Be Making Ton Of Cash And Be On Top Of The Nintendo And XBOX)”
I’m sorry, but what exactly is this based on? Newsflash: If Sony allowed homebrew, their cheaper customers would settle for homebrew games instead of buying the actual UMDs.
I love how there are so many comments on what Sony “should be doing” to make money from people who clearly know nothing about business or in some cases lack even basic common sense.
oh and one question.. i am extreme Enthusiast of the PlayStation Portable.. currently i am running a firmware of 4.01 ( Sony’s) on my new PSP-2001 waiiting for the GripShift Explot team to release their findings… i check this site almost everyday.. but in my understanding Sony hasn’t released their 5.03 system software, the latest version is 5.02…just wondering if theres been a mix up. Reply soon. Also just wondering should i get the GripShift game now? Will i be able to mod my PSP in this week when recieving the gripshift game? thank you for your assistance in this matter.
well…. if u have psp-2000 then u dont really need to use the gripshift exploit. only psp-3000.
with psp-2000 i think u can use pandora hack
depending on which motherboard. If you bought the PSP 2000 early on, the Pandora Battery should work, if you bought the PSP toward the middle to current, it probably won’t. You’d need to figure out which MoBo version you have.
Im actually pretty lucky, I got a madden PSP 2000 during thanksgiving, there were 3 packs, I got 3, One for me, my brother, and another one that I got one day afterwards, because somehow the screen broke in my pocket the first the, I dont know why, anyways, the funny thing is, that the one my brother had was unhackable, and both of mine were hackable, and those were the last 3 madden packs at the local best buy :D
sorry for the mix up.. i have a PlayStation Portable with the new motherboard (PSP 2001)… unfortunately in my last message which thank you for responding i didn’t clarify this.. so please respond pnce again, to the question…”Sony hasn’t released their 5.03 system software, the latest version is 5.02…just wondering if theres been a mix up. Reply soon. Also just wondering should i get the GripShift game now? Will i be able to mod my PSP in this week when recieving the gripshift game? thank you for your assistance in this matter.”
Guest* =]
nope not moddable yet, so far gripshift is used to run some homebrew and such.
you should buy it now b4 the hack comes out n they sell them more expensive. but maybe it wont come out. its your decision. just dont upgrade to 5.03
That’s real smart, Sony. Sure, just keep trying. ;]
does this work on the fat psp
i hav 5.02 gen A on mine
is this okay?
If you have custom firmware why would you want to change to official? This isn’t new CFW.
how to change firmware from oficial to CFW without using pandora battery?
desolder the chip and flash it, use other downgraders that you can find if u are on old version old as in less than 4.0
hello, what if i upgraded my 4.01 m33-2 to 5.00M33-6, what will happen to my cxmb themes and other applications?
you noob this is not the place to talk about that, and probably the themes wont work
Fuck you sony
MAN FUCK U DARK ALEX SONY ALL THE WAY!!!! YEEEE
fuck you for saying fuck you to the almighty D.A the sad part is you prolly got a hacked psp thx to him and your dissin him just to start conflict so fuck you pirates where here before you and will be here long after im not sayin everyone here is a pirate but the only excuse dweebs like you ever have for dissin D.A custome firmware or anything like that is piracy so as a pirate i say fuck you we will always find a way to steal your shit
“so as a pirate i say fuck you we will always find a way to steal your shit”
What a Noble sentiment.
yea i got a little carried away their my bad my bad
P.s. I’m a dirty cock head that would bend over and take it in the ass from the Sony CEO everyday.
I love you Sony
Having a psp up my ass is not what I call a good time.
LOL!
That just went wayy off-topic and deserved a laugh :)
As for the patch, Don’t Upgrade, Even if you can’t hack your PSP 2001 yet. D.A is cooking something up’
