PSP Firmware 3.02 Details

Here are the details of what the latest PSP Firmware will add to the PSP’s functionality :

  • PLAYSTATION®Network titles are now supported.
  • PLAYSTATION®Network titles* can now be downloaded via the PLAYSTATION®3 system.
  • [Remote Play] has been added as a feature.
  • [Online Instruction Manuals] has been added as a feature.
  • [Set Timer] has been added as a feature under [RSS Channel].
  • [Visual Player] has been added as a feature under [Music].
  • Three-speed fast forward and fast reverse has been added as a feature under [Music].
  • [Camera] has been added as a feature under [Photos].
  • [UMD™ Auto-Start] has been added as a feature under [System Settings].
  • New for 3.02: A security patch has been added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software.

As always, note that upgrading to the latest firmware version will, for the time being, restrict your ability to use many of the homebrew games and applications out there. Only upgrade if you do not require homebrew, or do not wish to install DevHook and emulate the firmware 3.02.

This upgrade is probably a must for anyone with a PS3 and who wants to download and play the PSone games. I have yet to hear of anyone successfully using DevHook to emulate the 3.02 firmware and being able to download PSone games and play the official PSone emulator. The camera function is only any good if you own or are thinking of buying the PSP add-on camera.
