Firmware 5.01 Released


Sony were quick to release a bug fix firmware update for the PSP. Firmware 5.01 fixes the previously posted issue where downloads from the PSP store would state you didn’t have sufficient memory space if you had a 8gb or 16gb memory stick inserted.

This download is available via the network update from your PSP XMB. (We will also have a link to the firmware once Sony update it to there website)

Digg!

    there are no 5.01 custom firmware out yet. you must downgrade it to latest custom firmware like 4.01 m33-2 to play iso game . i just go to the store i bought the psp and ask them to downgrade it. poof.. now i can play iso game..

    Kaspar, if there was another [easier] way, do you think people will still do this MMS Pandora battery way?

    Ps3r, yes it’s for any official firmware. I accidentally upgraded mine to 5.01, now I have a CFW since I followed the steps.

    So they want less money, and since we can’t buy the game, then we go to pspiso.com and download the game instead to get it for free ^_^. real smart sony….

    the only other way is to buy a datel pandora battery @ $10.15 with free shipping around the world anywhere (Very Good BUY). Then you can do it.

    Were you even reading previous posts on this thread?
    You can’t run ISO/CSO games on an official firmware. 5.01 is one, and there’s no CFW for it yet. Either way you have to downgrade your psp firmware and don’t start asking HOW, I’ve already answered it several times on this thread. If you won’t then buy games in UMDs.

    And you followed this:
    \/ Please Read The Following Instructions Carefully \/

    1. Take out any battery and insert your magic memory stick in your psp
    2. Connect your ac adaptor and insert your Pandora battery WHILE holding L (or whatever you assigned)
    – If it doesn’t start automatically, just turn on the psp with the switch like normal.
