  • lol

    I smell a ps2 emulator.

  • Elemento

    wtf,? how random lol

  • AAA

    Crap Features

  • Bakasaji

    Sony is so annoying. Just let us hack the PSP3000, its gonna happen sooner or later anyway………..

  • gurbz

    lol. This is pretty interesting. Considering that you might need 5.05ofw fw for the HEN. I wonder if it might get delayed because of this.

    Nevertheless, a good update, PSP was begging for sub folders for awhile. Looks like a ps3 system software port.

    As for the other features, they’re “meh” to me. More annoying than useful.

  • gurbz

    On a side note, people on every forum I’m visiting, including the Playstation forums are reluctant to update. Most likely because they know of the consequences of updating now.

    Tough choice, because if it were me on my slim I would have just updated to check out the subfolders and downgraded back.

    Oh and a question for HEN, m33 used to connect to alek for statistics when you connect to the playstationstore, are you going to integrate a feature like that? I hope they give us a option for that because of privacy issues though I doubt they will even put that in.

  • Almed22

    very crappy feature, better not update :) )

  • JustA

    They just released this CRAPPP SHITTTT update sooner just to patch TIFF exploit.

  • iam a psp

    the sub folders stuff is nice. and it took quite a while for sony to realize that (damn)

  • http://hip97.co.cc Rayos

    i hope this update wont interrupt the exploit! i guess not but idk! ~_~

  • Rayos

    YES! the exploit works great on 5.5 version ! nyahahaa!
    im excited for the finished exploit!

  • KG6ZVP

    If I didn’t know about CFW, I would be REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS UPDATE!!! Unfortunately for Sony, I’m not going to “upgrade” (huh, it’s more like downgrading losing the features I have with CFW) to check it out until the M33 release comes out.

    • Fat guy

      I agree. Its the best decision to make, wait foor cfw 5.50 m33 or so.

  • Finalstar

    When will the 5.05m33 be release?

  • zero

    finally it out i was wonder when theyd get around to it cant wait for the cfw to come out

  • Hummer

    Yea right lol the psp would never play ps2 games even if it has the power to do it. The game files are too big for most people (like over 4GB) PS:i know that you were probably just jokeing about that
