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

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…

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.

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

“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

Comment by k'hast
2009-01-20 20:06:53

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.”

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

If you have custom firmware why would you want to change to official? This isn’t new CFW.

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
