G.I. Joe Requires Firmware 5.55

Some news via the Dark_AleX forums as users have discovered that G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, needs firmware 5.55 in order to run and is included on the disk. While hasn’t been released yet (if ever) via the network update. Its unknown what changes are present in this firmware. But its not the first time we have seen Firmware 5.55. We posted about this back in July: PSP firmware 5.55 Spotted in Japan
Where Soul Calibur Broken Distiny demo units were seen running 5.55.

I’m positive in time this will be hacked or emulated just like all the other PSP firmwares.

  • aeon44

    is there any announcement about the changes in the 5.55 OFW?

    and when will it be released by Sony?

    and i think that some games that will be released in the near future will need the 5.55 firmware like Soul Caliber, Tekken 6, Gran Turismo, etc.

    maybe its expected to be released by Sony when they start to launch the PSPGo.

    i hope Dark_Alex will make a CFW of this.

      THOSE GAMES WILL BE RELEASED AT THE SAME DAY WITH THE PSP GO

    Oh no, So u mean if i get an ISO file of G.I.JOE it wont work on my 5.00 m33 firmware ?

    • http://pspslimhacks.com/ PSPFan

      No because you have to buy the game……….

      • aeon44

        you dont have to buy the game via UMD.

        you can also download the iso of the game, and still it won’t work.

        it it because you need to have the 5.55 OFW installed.

        the only way to play the iso or cso of this game is to have the 5.55 OFW for the meantime.
        lets just hope that Dark Alex would finally create a 5.55M33.

      This website doesn’t promote piracy. Sorry dude.

  • aeon44

    if this site doesnt support piracy. then why is there news about CFW’s? this site even post the CFW files.

    CFW’s allow you to play iso/cso which can be downloaded from alot of sites.

    • al-qarni

      This site doesnt support piracy. But they do support having CFW. Why? So you can ejoy homebrews, emulators, plugins, and playing BACKED up ISO games you own.

      I even heard dark alex tried to do something to his firmware to make sure people dont download games. It seems like you people dont mind sony begging to your feets to stop download pirated games. Why download. Pay for the damn games you play. Simple..

    Does anyone know if “hacking” the version.txt to say 5.55 will work as a temporary solution?

    • donny101

      No You Have To Get The Real 5.55 OFW
      If You Want To Download The ISO Of This Game Then Here:(Tell Me If Im Wrong)
      Note: Game needs 5.55 firmware update on the UMD to Work

        fail

  • PigVenus

    @aeonn44> CFW does not equal piracy. I have a modded PSP, but don’t play any ISOs. I use it strictly for eBooks and emulators.

    But sure, CFW can be misused for piracy. In the same way your car can be used to speed or run over people. Wait… OMG! You must be a murderer because you drive a car that could run over people!

    The instrument isn’t evil. A gun doesn’t kill. It is the person pulling the trigger.

  • djmrlong

    It is become illegal to modify in anyway the company’s firmware to make it do any thing other than what it was intended to do.
    So if it’s modified to play iso’s or to use it as a remote it’s is illegal

    • al-qarni

      Agreed with PIGVenus and djmrlong. But since owr psp is our psp. Then why can we use the psp the way we want to. So long as it doesnt harm sony.

  • scoldsteve

    Anyone know if this applies to the PSP-3000?

    Sorry about this guys i have to tell you the trouth about alex…

    I’m frome Mexico and i have a cousin living there in spain and i went up to visit him last july and he noticed that i had a psp when hi first saw me so he tells me:” i have a friend that loves that shit, i have plans but i can take you to talk with him, he’s a really cool guy you’r gona like him” so latter that day we meet with “the guy who loves that shit”(lol) att a bar in spain (i’m not gona tell you exactly were), so we’r there and we’r talking and having a beer, later i bring up the psp theme to the conversation, (by the way alex isn’t he’s real name) and i start talking about cfw and how cool is it, and then i ask’d him if he uses cfw, and he told me: “not any more” i ask’d why?? and he said i’ll show you later… so later we finish up our drinks and went up to hes apartment (i really wasen’t specting to much, i mean he’s looks like a regular guy) we came in and the first thing i saw was some turn tables (hi’s really a dj) and like 10 psp’s on some desk, and on one of his walls a big poster with dark alex image (the one on his web site just the face with the red eye) and i asked him where did he get it frome?? dark alex’s home page??? and he tells me: no i made that, and the one on the website too, i said to him: you really know dark alex, him: no, i’m dark alex… i went in to shock…
    so i asked him allot of things obout cfw and his debelopment and why he hasn’t come up with 5.50 yet and stuff like that and he told me that sony got to his price and in a few word’s he’s responsable for 5.55 he was sorry for givin us his back but taht cfw buissines was getin really dangeorus for his well being and some more stuff that i can’t talk about…
    There guys i said it all, it’s a shame but it’s true, in words of metallica “sad but true” lol….

    see you guy’s if i miss spel something sorry my written English it’s really bad…
    greetings frome mexico
