PSPgo: New Firmware and Features
greg | August 13, 2009
The fortunate folk at Eurogamer got their hands on a PSPgo pre-release model… So here’s the inside scoop straight from the source –
The pre-release sample of the new hardware arrived with an unreleased firmware revision: 5.70. This may or may not be the system software that ships with the retail unit coming on 1st October. 5.70 does feature a number of changes over the current 5.51 operating system.
Not surprisingly, it’s the Settings area of the XMB that gets the lion’s share of the changes:
- Network Update is now listed as System Update, but, curiously, has the same options.
- Video Settings obviously doesn’t have the first four UMD-related toggles.
- System Settings now has a “Your Birth Date” option (second from top), and a “Display Panel Close Option” toggle, which allows you to set it to either “Standard” (goes to a clock graphic) or “Enter Sleep Mode”. Also “Battery Information” seems to be gone, as do UMD-related options, but there’s a “Format System Storage” option in addition to the usual Memory Stick format option.
- Power Save Settings loses the “Backlight Auto-Adjust” option for some reason.
- There’s a new “Bluetooth Device Settings” entry, which consists of a toggle for switching Bluetooth on and off and a “Manage Bluetooth Devices” entry.
Hooking up the PSPgo to a Mac via USB, we find that the total available storage available to the user is 14.74GB, formatted in the FAT32 configuration (hence introducing a 4GB file-size limit).
Sony has opted out of using a conventional USB cable format on the new handheld. The PSPgo itself uses a wider, thinner connector for the console, terminating in the standard USB connector. So, similar to the iPhone and iPod Touch, it’s proprietary cable time. It also appears as though Sony has moved away from the old AV port that debuted on the PSP-2000 – there’s a common-or-garden 3.5mm stereo jack connection for headphones only, not the more traditional extended interface with its support for external remotes and the like.
That’s the gist of things. For the full article, follow the source. It’s a good read.

not realy big news though, the frimware isn’t that much, but mabe there will be something biger then that?
WEll it is lol cuz wen this cums out im gettinit downgrading to verion 3.90 then u can hjack like stuff
Lol, it’s not gonna run on anything lower that the released firmware, sony learned that lesson long ago, with the advent of the slim
he’s got a point…
its not gonna run anything lower than 5.70-only higher because psp1k-3k only have a few megabytes of flash memory, so those firmwares arent gonna know where to install custom firmware,download games,play movies,listen to music ect.
This looks exciting, it makes me wanna buy one, but the let down of features such as new usb connecter, no dual analog sticks and more is what has put me off getting it.
If you think about it you can see that Sony is getting worried, they are attempting to make more money by having stuff such as the USB connecter a sony custom one so that 3rd parties cannot make them resulting in Sony losing money.
I know as much as everyone else when it comes to the psp go! but dont this look a bit sus?
This is kind of disappointing.

4gb file limit, and custom cable is a deal killer for me.
Yup. Especially the proprietary cables and lack of support for older accessories would have killed any interest I had in this model, if I’d had any to begin with. gg Sony.
I really don’t get the need for proprietary cables at all, everything I own has one, but my Sansa Clip and the Black Berry, and that’s why I own them.
i was hoping some info like (chickHen works on pspgo) or medal of honor exploit works….but you can always dream.
chickhen isnt gonna work on 5.70. no tif support equals no chickhen. patched long time ago
however, mohh exploit might work
psp go is a peice of shit cant beleive its so crappy
i agree
useless because no custom firmware and all games from overpriced PSN. crap
No 2nd analog nub, no camera, same shitty internet, hardly anything changed except the design. Just another failed attempt for Sony. I dont think I’m buying this one.
I’ll stick with my PSP 2000 w/ 5.00 M33-6
i wish i were you. hate the 3000 with the stupid pre-ipl. why dont they just add homebrew support BUT also add a scanner for .iso and .cso files, and if the psp finds it just atommatically delete it. i bet sony would get 5 times more profit
psp2k with 5m33-6 was the last good firmware. period.
can’t old psp (1000/2000/3000) also download games from psn? if yes whats the point of pspgo?
SUch a dissapointment among the psp company. They should think about changing prices for certain things. Maybe then… people wouldnt need to hack psps and all shit….I hope the company does well though all though this is shit!!QQ
Sad!!. If it’s not hackable I’m not buying. Stick with the Original
so now its crazy to sell your psp 2000 slim bcoz of the rumor that the price will go down now whos the stupid owner who did disposed the old unit! Haha
is it a hint that psp 3000 makes the first move to eliminate hacks juz imagine in the philippines if you buy psp 3000 theres a warning that if you update,or bricked warranty will be void so its a piece of junk or a you can keep it as a sony toy figure for display so whats next new psp G0 -go for future display!
thats right now i know why theres a hoarding of psp slim version TA-085 2nd hand store in korea ha..how business gets done! They know the future demands and value!
sony you are fucking up its a damn shame.
The fuckin RSS feed is making everything jump around, it’s quite annoying.
lets just hope it doesnt get worse then still, cuz that just draws the line
now no battery even stonger ipl micro memstick…
FIRST PSP (1000) to the 2000 was a HUGE Improvment
2000 to 3000= small improvment
3000 to go= worst
make somthing NEW Like 1000 to 2000
AHHHH
i think i may just get a dsi lol
at least nintendo doesnt freak out about piracy
yeeeaaa right ?
those chinese ppl r maaad chill i luv nintendo they dont care there systems get hacked they under stand the fact tht one u buy something
ITS YOURS TO DO WAT EVER U WANT WITH
fukin sony
i cnt wait to hear about how hard this thing will b to hack.
my prediction :::: its going to have security JUST like the ps3
& if im right, im going to reply to this comment LOL
charging more for a system that does less,
having to buy new proprietary usb cable,
throw your 16gb mspro in the trash and buy more expensive memory stick,
get rid of the stack of screen protectors that are too big and buy newer smaller ones at a higher price,
protective case for psp can go as well,
no longer can you sell or trade your games when you are tired of playing them,
most games you have on umd will need to be purchased again,
and that is just a few of the long list of dumb shit.
but you can link your ps3 controller.
yeah! that makes it all worth it.
W.T.F.
take the money you have for psp go and “GO” buy a ps3, it will cost about the same in the end, or you can get an xbox 360 or wii with games.
sony’s over paid employee’s need a swift kick in the ass.
while I’m bitching about sony’s bad marketing;
why are we paying for blu-ray media when most games will fit on a dvd? ever get the feeling you were being robbed? can’t see someone holding a gun to your head being much different.
not like psp has that great of games anyway.
and no one wants to hear about game piracy being the reason for lack of good games.
piracy didn’t hurt xbox, xbox 360 “that was rrod”, wii, psx, ps2, ds, gba, pc, or any other gaming system.
don’t get me wrong I like my ps3 and the psp 1000/2000, but come on, what we have to pay to enjoy them is outlandish.
thats wath i have been waiting for soon to come 5.70 m33
thats what i have been waiting for soon to come 5.70 m33
well in an article sony even said that the psp-go isnt a the psp2 just more for casual people and other reasons so shut the fuck its when psp2 comes out well all be happy and whatnot
Hmm…such wasted potential…such a shame…
P.S. psp-hacks.com devs, please move the RSS Feed thing at the top of the page to the right or something. Hard to read articles/comments when the words keep jumping around like crazy. Thanks. :-)
Are ppl really silly enough to buy into this??
Bit stupid in my opinion, any PSP can acess the PSN store and download games, so why didn’t they just make more of an effort to encourage downloadable content on the 3000 and focus their attention on making a 2nd generation PSP with dual analog nubs and such? I definately won’t be buying one.
Well i think the PSP Go is gonna suck because it cant take UMDS and Sony is NOT Converting every single UMD to Digital games to put onto the PSN Store. A minority of all the UMDS will be converted but major titles wont be. IDK for sure but i dont think its worth a buy. ( Cept the internal 16 GBs :p )
keep your psp 1000/ 2000 i bet it wud rise the 2nd hand price up to $500 or more than……..in 2010… professionaly marketing tactics can be base on product development as a expert product endorser!! a new product must be more satisfying> than the previous model not only the image and packaging but the feautures that boost the interest and curiousity of the
customer who are dedicated their choices on brand loyalty like the SONY…..good luck to your new product line…YOU CAN DO BUSINESS WITH THE DEALERS BUT IT DEPENDS ON THEIR CUSTOMERS GOODLUCK…….
BINGO!!!! roygy
for sony overhaul your marketing department and who made the idea for this psp go or else i GO for nintendo ndsi great features more affordable easy game access bye SONY!
