Psp Firmware

[billabong-john]

I hav'nt been keeping up with the firmware upgrades for my PSP since moving out here and i have a couple of questions for anyone with the Knowledge..

* my last upgrade was the 2.70 firmware, i have now found out that you can get firmware 3.03 so can i just download this version or do i need to download all the upgrades that have been between the two of them

*also can anybody advise on a site were i can download the 3.03 firmware??

why would you want the latest firmware anyway.....just downgrade to 1.5 add devhook and that can pretty much function as anything u want it to

read pdf books

play home brew

play donwloaded psp games

etc etc

go one better, with custom hacked 303 firmware you can do everything 1.5 does but you can also play most ps1 games (ntsc or pal converted to ntsc)

if you currently cant run homebrew you may have to downgrade to 1.5 before you install the custom 303 tho.

Bah i'm over all the homebrew and shit.

I got my psp to play psp games.

Not 15 year old games i've got at home on the original console.

alot of the ps1 games are better than half the junk on umd.

ff7, ff8, gran turismo 1 and 2, metal gear solid, crash bandicoot. just to name a few

I need to jump on the homebrew bandwagon im kinda sick of the psp games. Where do i go to find out more bout this stuff?? Like downgrade to 1.5 and where to get homebrew games

[midnight]

fourms.maxconsole.net is a good one

also ps2nfo.com

Yeah but i've finished all of those games some of them about 8 years ago.

That sounds like fun.

GT2 is currently being played on my PSP.. I don't think there is ANY other game out there for portable console that even comes CLOSE to how good that game is..

I would probably look at getting the custom 3.03 firmware.. i've got a zip of it somewhere if people need it, otherwise search for 3.03 OE-A upgrade..

[LatinR33]

Yeah ive heard of the new 3.03 upgrade. Ive looked at the instructions to get all up and running and you need to be an IT person to do it.

[midnight]

there are versions that all you do is put it on your memory card and run it. (as long as you can run homebrew)

Installing 3.03 is easier than getting Devhook running..

If you want i'll strip it down and put up a file that contains only what you need (2 folders).. if your running 1.50 it's very easy to install..

Cheers

Anyone in Melbourne want to do this for me?

I have a 2.70 firmware. I want to play PS1 games....

[LatinR33]

Ive gone through psp hacks and have read the guides. Im like god!! How much stuff do you need to do. I think i understand the downgrading to 1.5 covered but how to run emulators,make is 3.03 and run emulators its not that easy.

A workmate of mine did my 1.5 to 3.03 upgrade today, it took him 5 minutes. He also put on some old ps1 games on it: spyro, metal slug and raiden. Its pretty amazing, it runs exactly like I remembered it. And to play my psp iso's I dont have to go through Devhook anymore! I cant wait until I get a copy of gran turismo on ps1 and get that going on psp I read that it runs great on psp too

Nevermind. Bit the bullet and did it myself last night.

I rock. Go me!

It's actually very easy to upgrade to 3.03.. just follow the instructions they are very very good..

If you need to files in a simple compact archive, let me know and i'll send you a link..

^^ Bahah bad luck dude. I also downloaded GT2 and got it working on my PSP, but I used to play it heaps on PS1 back in the days. The save times are exactly the same, but atleast it works hey.

By the way: http://pspupdates.qj.net imo, is the best PSP site, just to add another!
