Japanese 2.0 firmware update has been released.

http://www.playstation.jp/psp/update/ud_03.html

I'm in the process of installing it, but it's supposed to work with american PSPs without a problem, with english text during installation even. The most noticeable change, among other things, is the inclusion of a web browser to the handheld.

EDIT: Posting this from my PSP.

been checking this out, it pretty sweet. ive visited the mindwerks from the wipeout hack.

2.0 looks nice, but we need more games. Also i got a 1 gig too, movies look awsome on it.

They should make a fight night type game for the psp. I mean it has a pseudo analog. So it should work alright.

I have been using a friends PSP all night and i must it much better than i expected. The only game i have played so far is Ridge Racer which was pretty good,my kind of car game arcade style.

I just love the screen and quality.

I just hope for more fight games,,action
games then i will enjoy PSP alot.

Didnt you guys read that Sony dont recomend the 2.0 update since its made for japanese PSP. I read an article about it in ign.com

Post by **Femto** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:30 am

Yeah, but that's just because they won't have customer support available for it in the US and they want to clean their hands if some idiot fucks up their PSP with the japanese update. I haven't had any problems with it so far, so it's just a safety measure for Sony as far as I can tell.

Meh, the official US update comes in a couple of weeks anyway.

PS: Shinkiro owns.

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:35 am

So why take the chance when american update is just weeks off. Nevermind so what does this update for the PSP exaclty.

Post by **Femto** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:42 am

Well, they released the update in Japan so we weren't supposed to download it anyway. Sony is just being cautious with their warnings.

Anyways, the update includes:

+ Revisions to strengthen security were added.
+ An Internet browser was added.
+ Go To was added as a feature under [Video]. (This applies to UMD Video)
+ A-B Repeat was added as a feature under [Video]. (This applies to UMD Video and video data saved on Memory Stick.)
+ 4:3 Screen Mode was added as a feature under [Video]. (This applies to video data saved on Memory Stick.)
+ Audio Options was added as a feature under [Video]. (This applies to video data saved on Memory Stick.)
+ AVC was added as a codec that can be played under [Video]. (This applies to video data saved on Memory Stick.)
+ Support for Memory Stick PRO Duo was added to [Music].
+ MP4 (AAC) and WAV (LPCM) were added as formats that can be played under [Music]. (This applies to music data saved on Memory Stick.)
+ Image transfer was added as a feature under [Photo].
+ Wallpaper was added as a feature under [Photo].
+ TIFF, PNG, GIF and BMP were added as image formats that can be displayed under [Photo].
+ Korean was added as an option to [System Language] under [Settings], [System Settings].
+ [Character Set] was added to [System Settings] under [Settings].
+ [Theme Settings] was added under [Settings].
+ WPA-PSK (TKIP) was added as a security method under [Network Settings].
+ Settings for Infrastructure Mode under [Network Settings] were revised to be easier to use.
+ Input modes were added to the on-screen keyboard.

I've put the things I really like or consider important in bold.

Do you think that the american update will be the same?

And i have to find out if the american and european PSP is similer so that it wont be a problem if i downlaod the american update.

Post by **Femto** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:50 am

It's all the same as far as I know, no matter which version you download.

Just get the japanese update for now, I can almost guarantee you won't have any problems.

okay im buying a PSP tomorrow, i decided one game to buy to be wipeout pure, becuz it reminds me of korea's "kartrider" and the graphics look sweet. anyone thinks thas a bad choice please say so, and gimme a recommendation for what my 2nd game to buy cuz i wanna buy 2 games.

and whats better for the system? the leather case or the playgear pocket?

Post by **Femto** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 7:53 am

I just got Wipeout Pure today and it is freakin' awesome. I'd recommend Lumines as a second choice, but it might not be your cup of tea.

Post by **dos.azn** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 12:44 pm

lumines looks awesome, dont get me wrong. i jus wont pay retail price jus for a tweaked-up version of tetris. like for example, midnight club is such an oh-so-fuckin-sexy game, but its a bit more costy than the other games. so ill prolly buy them both on amazon or ebay in the future. im thinking about jus buying FIFA for my 2nd game because its FIFA and i love soccer jus like every other gook. but if anyone has any other suggestions, id really love to hear them.

well im headin to my local gamestop in a few hours. help! i need advice on the leather case or playgear pocket!

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 6:50 pm

Buy Pro Evolutuion Soccer 5 if you like soccer. But i dont know if its out yet where you live.

If you like arcade racing and dont wanna buy Midnight Club as you said Ridge Racer is the thing for you,cause it pretty fun.

Post by **dos.azn** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 8:14 pm

well too late, i bought it with wipeout and fifa. fifa is really good so far, not as realistic as winning11, but its still a good game. gonna try wipeout soon.

and i didnt know the pack comes with a pouch, so im going with that for now. i think ill buy the mini carrying pack for my PSP so i can carry additional games and memory sticks and ac adapters all in one

but overall, im extremely happy with my new PSP

Post by **halfnhalf** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 9:06 am

I have a play gear pocket and i love it! The only thing i guess people might have a problem with it, is the fact its just a case, the psp is not secured into the case at all, it just sits in it. Though i dont see that as a problem. If you plan to carry the psp in your pocket, the play gear should not be your choice. The PSP actually comes with a soft slide case which is pretty nice i think.

Post by **dos.azn** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 4:26 pm

yeah the soft slide case is pretty nice. the playgear pocket also looks very nice too, except i dont think its for me. i think ill jus stick with my soft slide case and buy the mini carrying bag in the future. hey halfnhalf, how long does ur PSP last? im tryin to see if sony tweaked it up since its premiere launch. i think i calculated bout 8 hours for my first charge.

anyway i jus have one thing to say

I HAD THIS ONE DAY AND I LOVE IT! PSP IS THE PORTABLE TO HAVE! NOTHING CAN BEAT THIS SHIT!
