Sony have released PSP Firmware 4.05. Don’t get excited its nothing special…. Just some new music player visual effects. Heres the huge changelog:
* New effects have been added to the visual player under [Music"].
I guess Divx support was and will always be just a rumor.

July 14th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
cant wait till dax hacks this!!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
i was just watching a video of a demonstration of 4.05 and it looks like you can now exit out of the music player and it will still be playing music while u are going through system settings for instance
July 14th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
HOW CAN I DOWNGRADE OR HACK VERSIOn 4.05 SO I CAN PLAY ISO FILES???
July 14th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
@thunderman yikes guess u have to wait for dark alex’s m33 for this if there is any… downgrade? sure, google it
hhhmmmmmmmm im pretty much satisfied with having .mp4 as video format, you see psp dont need divx, as of now… coz the only available memory stick in the market is only at 8Gb and we all know a(n) .avi format movie weighs, yikes a massive, almost 1Gb… that will most likely fill ur mem stick in no time…
though as of now the down side is that you have to convert every damn movie if you wanted to watch movies in ur psp 
if and only if a 10Gb mem stick is already available guess .avi format is a nice thing to upgrade on about. 
that is what i think it is 
with this firmware update, geee only a visual player? just a visual player? come on sony, you can do better than that
yikes 
feel free to reply… 
July 14th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Man, I’m getting bored with Sony… They really need to send out an update that we actually give a damn about… I wonder if anyone is actually still using sony updates (on purpose) these days?
July 14th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I just tried to download some themes from the PSN store but it won’t let me. I would have to update from 4.01. So has anyone tested downgrading from OFW 4.05 to CFW 4.01?

“While the official change log of firmware 4.05 is underwhelming, it does feature a key hidden feature: support for movie and TV service. According to this support page on PlayStation.com, “Support for PLAYSTATION®Store Movies and TV video service” has also been added in firmware 4.05. Undoubtedly, we’re going to find out more about this service during tomorrow’s E3 conference.”
Just read this on an other site. 4.05 sounds more intriguing.
July 15th, 2008 at 7:34 am
@Nying, its a bug in CWcheat. Disable it. If that doesn’t work, delete it off your memory stick.
July 15th, 2008 at 9:41 am

August 8th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Im going to try and downgrade my psp slim because i have done it b4 but not with 4.05. I updated to 4.05 because i wasnt thinking of going back to cfw. But it’s way tooooo boooooooorrrriiiiinnng for me so im going to try and use a program called TOTALNewbieasyinstaller which installs 3.71m33 and i also have already made my pandora battery, but my old mem stick was a fake and is broken so im buying a new mem stick and a battery by next week and then install cfw 3.71m33 and i will make a youtube video about it.
August 9th, 2008 at 9:25 am
So any smart one out there??
How do I downgrade my PSP OFW 4.05 to CFW 4.01.
Please there seems to be many out there that wants to know how to do this. (Hopefully without PANDORA)
One problem is that I can not make a PANDORA stick with OFW.
Is there anyway to create a PANDORA stick on the PC with a image file for exapmle?
//Harry
August 11th, 2008 at 4:11 am
guys jusy make a majic memory stick and a pandoras thats all you need!
August 11th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Well thats may problem. I can’t make the magic stick with my 2 PSPs One phat OFW 4.05, and one slim OFW 4.05
Trying to run “Despertar Cementerio” ends with the message
“The game could not be started. (80020148)”
Is there ANY way of making the magic stick from the an XP PC?
Isn’t there someone who have an zipped image of a working magic stick? (The IPL can be installed from a XP PC).
But since I cant run the “Despertar Cementerio” I dont have the ‘msipl.bin’?
Any help please!!

The updated 4.05 sucks. after i updated the firmware my psp cannot load the games. Im trying to search the internet for the solution. If someone has the same problem please email me logie0726@gmail.com. (MY ADVICE DON’T UPDATE) Same problem with my friends…
August 17th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
Same With me I Updated to 4.05 on my psp slim and you cant download full psp games (only Demos) but at least I can download music and movies but it isn’t the same as cfw, I used to like downloading games to my psp. So I Also Advise not to update.
If you want to download music on your psp go to downloads.nl on your psp browser, search for the music you want and download it.
August 20th, 2008 at 11:47 am

September 11th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
You cannot downgrade psp 4.05 firmware as there is no downgrader for it. So if you have torrent try and search 4.05m33 and update otherwise you cannot do anything.
September 12th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

September 24th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
i cant play any iso games since i updated my psp to 4.05 from 4.01.. any1 teach me how to downgrade?
September 28th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
to those who cry that this 4.05 doesn’t work with isos: u are blind or stupid! this are the news about official firmware update which logicaly can not play isos! google for cfw 4.05 if there is one,the m33 is at 4.01 for good reason.
other points: to patch a ofw psp u NEED a pandora battery to get into service mode,just the magic stick wont help you!also you cant get into recovery menu with ofw!
to make a pandora battery,u need a psp with cfw(phat or older slim) or u make one by opening the battery as
September 28th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
(..damn, wrote it with psp,there is a max of chars you can inputXD)
..or you make one by opening the battery as mentioned before above. (There is a risk of breaking it!)
OR you buy a pandora battery. Just google for all that stuff.
and NO, slim battery is NOT a pandora! who told that is completely dumb.
I hope, i wrote everything down to answer all the questions here.
Btw..Dark Alex, good work, keep it up^^
Regards
cracky
September 29th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Hey guys, i’ve recently bought a psp slim, august 18th, and now i’d like to make it to CFW 4.01 m33.
I have the pandora battery, and several programs that’ll make my memory card into a magic memory.
But, i’d like to have a guide of how i do it and in wich order, is there anyone that could help me out?
September 30th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
4.05 custom firmware soon? where can i get it…
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:17 pm
god… some here, 4.05. cannot play game now. Guess got to wait for Dark Alex to come up with 4.05m33… instead of what pandora battery. To be honest, i dont know what is pandora battery about. I have tried many website to guide how to downgrade it. But all about the “Pandora Battery”.
October 4th, 2008 at 9:08 am
i’ve found a solution but i don’t know if it works , the name is 4.05 TDP. search it in google.
October 4th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
@Scythe, ok. Thks. Maybe just try it.
October 4th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
hmm… its doesnt work. Dont know what should do now. Guess with the ofw 4.05 out there, is so pissed off and feel really bad. NEVER update OFW again, only CFW. There are so many games(iso)i’ve just dl, and half way with “Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII”. Now.. cant even play.. really upset…
October 5th, 2008 at 4:29 am
I bought my psp around a week ago, It has a factory installed firmware of 4.01. I tried hacking it , but the screen stays black when I insert the Pandora’s battery. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong? I was told that my psp may have a newer motherboard that is unhackable Thanks
October 5th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
ouch,that’s why I hate official firmwares, I have many iso files but I can’t play !!!!!! HELP !!!!!
October 5th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
hey koyangii be sure to have a magic mem stick thats probably why
October 6th, 2008 at 2:21 am
Ver 4.05 is awsome i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
bloody 4.05…well i guess im a n00b for falling into the official software.
and diamond i hate you for loving 4.05.
October 7th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
and how do you choose your avatar on this site?
it appears to be pretty random… :-&
October 8th, 2008 at 6:13 am
So let me get this straight…..there IS a custom firmware for 4.05 yet or not? I see people posting that they cant find a downgrader for it, but no one has figured out a way to mod it yet? Second question are there pandora batteries specifically customized for the psp 1000? Also, what purpose does the magic memory serve?
October 8th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Please dark alex make a custom version I NEED IT 4.05 reali sucks i have HEAPS if ISO games and i cant play any
October 8th, 2008 at 3:21 pm

You stupids should give up pirating.
October 9th, 2008 at 2:32 am
F*uck dunte. hurry and crack psp 4.05 and let us gamers play our iso’s

October 9th, 2008 at 5:55 am
dunte stfu. why give up pirating when its so much easier and has so many benefits!! My cousin was the one who updated my psp. Im gunna kill him
October 9th, 2008 at 9:06 am
F YOU @dunte. You not belong here. GET OUT !! YOU should give up ur life. coz your mouth full of rubbish and the worse is you have no BRAIN !! ya, go to hell and continue your stupid LOL. OK. EVIL curse you. instead of god bless you.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Why should you give up pirating?
1.Its ILLEGAL
2.There are hundreds of guides telling you what to and what not to do and yet you all still fail at it horribly.
Thanks Vion for reminding me that I have no brain while simultaneously misspelling half of the words in your post and using shit grammar. It makes me feel great knowing that I have no brain and yet I can still think better than you.
October 12th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Comeon dunte u cant tell me that u have never done something illegal in ur life! and i dont see the problem they post games on the net for us to download so if it is illegal why arnt the websites shutdown?? thats a question for ya!
October 12th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
hi

October 14th, 2008 at 6:34 am
@ Dunte >> i’m glad you still understand our human language. So please get out from here, told you, you dont belong here (stone head) ! And what you have mentioned above, our planet know it very well. You dont have to remind us. This is one more time you wanted to prove you REALLY dont have brain. And please PROVE us no more. Thank you.
October 14th, 2008 at 6:45 am
Miss-x
As far as i know you can’t downgrade from 4.05 just yet, you will just have to sit and wait. hopefully not too long as im wanting a cfw 4.05.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Superman
are you serius ? there’s absolutly nothing we can do about it ?
do you have the slim as i do ? i don’t know why i was stupid enough to press the upgrade … there’s must be a way to undo it …
October 14th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
im sooo dumb and stupid, i just bought a PSP and updated it to this useless 4.05 OFM!! the heck! who wants to but a 1day old PSP for 50$?
October 15th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Miss-x
I have one of the first fat ones, I dont think there is any way yet but if you have 4.05 on it aready you will have to wait until a updated cfw comes out higher than 4.05 or a downgrader for 4.05.
Im lucky because i havent upgraded yet so i can still use my downloads, I need a cfw 4.05 because i have downloaded some games from my ps3 to my psp and it says i need to upgrade to 4.05.
October 16th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Because Pyrowhatever, you don’t know dick about the law.
Of course I’ve done illegal shit, and I still do illegal shit, but I’m not a complete retard. I have no idea what the fuck Vion is trying to say. Try using logic
October 18th, 2008 at 2:45 am
Well if anyone does work out how to downgrade from v4.05 on a psp slim PLEASE help me out.
milk_rulz@hotmail.com
October 28th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
New psp such 2000 & 3000 that has the new MOBO (TA-88 Type) or any NEw PSP that came with 4.1 OFW when purchased are none unHackable for now.
Any PSP that has CFW before that upgraded to OFW 4.1 can still dowgraded to any CFW using pandora battery.
So we just need to sit tight and wait for DA and M33 to released new hacks.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
November 12th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
hey i’ve downloaded something to try to downgrade 4.05. But i can’t understand the instructions . can someone please translate it to english ? please? inform you if the downgrade is successful. Thanks!
