- vagarach, on 10/20/2008, -3/+27Sony PSP, best ebook reader ever! Bookr is an awesome program, all made possible thanks to Dark Alex and his brethren.
- SpicyCurryBread, on 10/20/2008, -0/+18Holy crap, I've been looking for a pdf reader for PSP for forever! Thanks for pointing out bookr
- inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+17Actually Sony can't on PSP due to piracy.
On PS1, they gave us Net Yaroze.
PS2, they gave us a Linux kit
PS3, they let us install Linux on the harddrive
Sony has been doing (allowing amateur development) this since before the XBOX came out. - MeltingIce, on 10/20/2008, -2/+14This inspired me to try and upgrade my PSP after not doing so in 2 years. I'm currently running 3.02 OE-B and am trying to upgrade to 3.52 M33 so I can make my way up to 5.0. I hate incremental updates :(
- Lemonblood, on 10/20/2008, -3/+14I buried you for being a douchebag.
- Jelga, on 10/20/2008, -0/+10I'm not sure, but I don't think the PSP-3000s are quite hackable yet, however, Dark Alex is on it, from what I have read.
- barc0001, on 10/20/2008, -0/+9Good for you! "I've seen it, so nobody else needs to". Way to go there slugger. You know, there *are* other people who read this site.
- takamichinaku, on 10/19/2008, -3/+101. Submissions are made after the update not before it.
2. This is not a duplicate. - ChaoticInfinity, on 10/20/2008, -6/+12Buried for irrelevant blog trying to gain extra traffic by posting dated information...
Those that care, already know.. and those that don't know, probably shouldn't know and most likely don't even care in the first place. - BlaqReaper, on 10/20/2008, -0/+6If you have a PSPslim with CFW, then it's a simple update. If you have an official firmware PSP, you need a pandora battery and a magic memory stick. If you use a phat battery, you don't need to solder anythinng, but if you have a slim battery you do need to solder it. That's basically the really short version of it. Look up the guides if you need a more detailed explanation.
- fivex, on 10/20/2008, -0/+6damn, i've been neglecting my psp for the iphone... time to show some love
- Zoids, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5I suppose you have several million USD you'd like to transfer to my account too?
- Philbert, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4I care but didn't know because I've been away from the scene for a while.
- takamichinaku, on 10/19/2008, -3/+7This is a news site.
Even if people do know about it, It does NOT mean it should not be published.
Duplicates mean same article. This is NOT same article. - inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4You buried for 2?
But reddit is better, It's just too ***** ugly. I mean really, I'm going to go to reddit as soon as it looks less ugly. I may stay on Digg... but probably not. - bluemist, on 10/20/2008, -2/+6Is this also for the newer PSP-3000? Just asking, I don't have one but I'm interested to get a PSP.
- Khast, on 10/20/2008, -1/+5Also, he's released a fix for popsloader, and the 1.50 kernal for the fat PSPs. Alex is the man.
I'm updated and do not see anything wrong. Homebrew, UMD, ISO, and best of all I can play most of my PS1 games on the go. (FF VII still gives me problems starting a new game though...bummer.) - SSUK, on 10/20/2008, -1/+5Considering your avatar, I say you can stay at Reddit. Nothing of value is lost if you do.
- Elranzer, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4Sorry for the comment hijacking, but:
Be careful... the article links to the UK version of the official 5.0 firmware. For American gamers, be sure to get it from this link rather than in the article:

- B3000, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3Rather than making one yourself you can also just order a factory made Pandora battery and magic memory stick online for 10-30 bucks depending on the manufacturer.
- Jelga, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3I'm not sure about remote play (I don't have a PS3 so I haven't tried it) but I can tell you it does support the playstation store.
- inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3Yes, it supports both the store and remote play
- Khast, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2www.psp-hacks.com
- hatdrop, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2after 3.7 i think you're able to just use the online update to update your CFW. i just used mine to upgrade to 5.00
- Philbert, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2It's been so long since I even turned mine on I had to check to see what version it is, 3.90 M33...
I'll be damned you're right it's updating now. I'd swear before it gave me some error that It couldn't update due to the hack. Actually it couldn't finish because the battery was too low, but at least now I know it works. Thanks. - inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2Are you alright?
- Maurik, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2yes you need CFW...
- RMoore08, on 10/20/2008, -2/+4Dark Alex is awesome. I've been using his Firmwares over the past few years.
- craterburnsu, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Where'd you find an updated popsloader? That's my only issue so far is i can't get many older PSX converts to work.
- kricsek, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1I have it. I just upgraded to it when i saw this post. 5.00 m33.
- Philbert, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1I think the point of that is for video out to a TV, which mine doesn't have. Since 640x480 is SD NTSC resolution.
- Elranzer, on 10/20/2008, -1/+2An unhackable PSP is not worth buying. That's why I waited on the PSP-Slim, but am so glad I did.
- shagg187, on 10/19/2008, -5/+6In respond to your older comment i.e. "Not late, just many people are not aware of the update.",
People who own a PSP and already have CFW know about this update. If they don't then they pretty much aren't using their PSP or just don't care about new updates and are enjoying 1.5
In B4 someone says "I didn't know! I care!"
On and here: http://digg.com/playstation/PSP_CFW_5_00_M33_relea ... - Raytown, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1I've always went to afterdark.com for my hackin' n' crackin' needs :P
- kricsek, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Bookr does not work for me. It says: The game could not be started. (80020148)
I have PSP Slim FW5.00, it does not need any kernel upgrade, right? - AzureRise, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1"Sony PSP now supports H.264 video format in 640 x 480 Pixels."
That sounds pretty high quality. Anybody have a link to that kind of video that'll play on my PSP? - Philbert, on 10/20/2008, -1/+2I had been keeping up to date with my firmware hacks, but then I stopped for a while. It's just too complicated and confusing to hunt through the forums for instructions for each one. So I figured I would just go to the official FW and start from scratch, but no one on the forums will tell me how or point me to a thread explaining it, they all just say "why would you want to?" and leave it at that. Bury me if you like but there needs to be a single place where you can go just to find the instructions. QJ.net has not been much help.
- kricsek, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1I just downloaded the version written for the 1.0 kernel and it works. So I have kernel 1.0 on my PSP Slim?
- Philbert, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Afterdawn you mean? Afterdark is some screensaver site. Prolly viruses. I have an account at Afterdawn. I've only gone there for video information though. Thanks.
- MrTankJump, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1I think they have em' the cheapest. www.dealextreme.com
- craterburnsu, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1As i thought, no update to poploader. The PRX fix was not for poploader(the prx to load older POPS conversions), it was for a problem with the psemu code in general. 90% of older pops games will still not work.
- Andrwmorph, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1You can't use the pandora bettery on the new 3000 model PSPs, though.
I just bought one for my launch PSP so I can play Mother3 on it. - refriaire, on 10/21/2008, -1/+2In order for this to work, do you need to have a previous version of a custom firmware installed, or will it work with the official 4.05 firmware?
- mywhitenoise, on 10/20/2008, -1/+1They're overpriced, but a $20 memory stick that can fit 8 games on it is a HELL of a lot better than paying $40 for a single game. No, most games are NOT 800 - 1GB, only the more recent titles. Your argument is invalid and stupid.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/20/2008, -1/+1...also, what the *****? "Sony Defense Force leader"?
Do you really think the Sony Defense Force leader would pirate PSP games? What a ***** moron. - Andrwmorph, on 10/20/2008, -1/+1FING PAO CHING FU!
