PSP Firmware 6.31 coming, to Patch Expliots? *Updated*
Update: PSP Firmware 6.31 has been released, and it looks like it patches doesn’t patch Half Byte Loader for 6.30 which is being ported…Half Byte Loader being ported to OFW 6.30!
Sony have just posted PSP Firmware 6.31 is pending. Nothing special is mentioned, no new features or rumored emulator support. Sony mentions only system software stability improvements. Which normally to me means they have patched an exploit or two…Hmmm maybe Mamosuke’s exploits?
Its due by the end on this month. So in a few days.
In addition to this PS3 update, the next PSP (PlayStation Portable) firmware update (v.6.31) will be coming as well. This is a minor update, and system software stability during use of some PSP format software titles has been improved.

C’MON Sony, give us some GOOD updates, exactly why Nintendo just laughs at you all. Exactly why the PSP will be a puppet to the 3DS.

I have to agree with you on that one stars, the psp scene is dying im just devastated atm because of the PSP Go i bought. I managed to find someone selling it for 100$ so i was happy i was going to get it and install the patapon exploit and run some homebrew, but turned out the guy had updated to 6.20 F#$% KISS MY ARSE WITH THESE MEANINGLESS UPDATES SONY THE PATAPON EXPLOIT WASNT DAMAGING YOUR SALES!!!!! THATS WHY THE 3DS IS GOING TO PWN THE PSP AND MOST LIKELY YOUR OVERPRICED PSP2 (if their even is one in developement)
July 27, 2010 at 11:15 am
from 6.20 to 6.30*
July 28, 2010 at 1:36 am
I have to disagree on one point.. I believe the exploits ARE damaging their sales.
Tbh, I probably would’ve bought a game or two if I couldn’t play Pokemon on my Go
July 27, 2010 at 1:05 pm
no…… i did a but load of reserch and found a but load of stuff about the n3ds and turns out it is about even to the psp but theres a posibillity it might be bettter or even wors than its sopost to be…….. so all in all the psp wont be a puppet to the 3ds but might be better or wors than the n3ds so no one knows yet but i have to agree with you sonys updates suck my balls but ther game systems forever rest in gods busms =]

trading a psp go or a psp 3000 for a psp 2000 the 3000 has 5.03 and the psp go has 6.10
July 29, 2010 at 10:15 pm
No PSP 3000′s been out with OFW 6.20. My cousin got a brand new 3000 about 4 months ago and he wanted pokemon and other gba games. I gave him my hacked 2000 till I see him again. I miss my PSP 2000 =( But I got my 1000 haha. So the 3000′s out there that are factory new come now with 6.20 and I was freaking pissed about that.
July 27, 2010 at 12:05 pm
i mean the psp go has 6.20
July 27, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Sony is really stupid if anything the HBL was making Psp sales better. the PSP is dieing out and Nintendo will be once again in the lead of the hand held bussiness
July 27, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Amen to that……
July 27, 2010 at 12:50 pm
Im glad i have 2 CFW psp’s, probaly going to trade my psp 3000 in at gamestop, its ridiculous we pay money for a system that only gets full support from people like us who make nifty homebrew, and Sony is going to make a security update? C’Mon, now if it blocks hackers on FTB3 for a short time, then i’m happy, or can limit pirating for a short time too, than im happy as well. I’d love to have my PSN friends list on my XMB.
July 27, 2010 at 1:53 pm
who knows, sony mite allow homebrews in this security patch
LOL
to the hackers: pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease release some ISO loader for ofw 6.20 (if there is any) now tht the fw is goin at 6.31 all will prolly get patched anyways
July 28, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Do you people ever stop? Honestly, Fasih, you’re braindead. People are working on the loaders and progress is being made, but you’re the prime example of the cancer that’s killing the scene.
You can’t just demand things to be handed to you… Dumb kid. What the hell happened to the PSP scene? We used to have thankful members of the scene who were happy to get anything! Lord..
July 27, 2010 at 3:54 pm
I hate ISO, unless you actually own the game its no problem. But pirating is the exact reason why we don’t see better quality games. game Devs aren’t going to invest money into the psp if they know they will lose it because of pirating. Be honest and buy them suckas.
July 27, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Just as I stated in other post… This is a cycle… I’m dying to see, when this update be released, who will be the next “scener” that’ll will pop out with an exploit that not even himself believe it to work… Posts a nonsense video on Youtube and then disappears until the following firmware update to says that his exploit has been patched…
…This is exactly, just exactly the way Sony wants it to be…
July 27, 2010 at 11:10 pm
dont upset guys if SONY doesnt know the exploit how do you expect to patch it????????
July 28, 2010 at 12:39 am
coz it is SONY just like the hackers they can also have a dedicated team looking for exploits, and now that they know that such exploits exist, obviously they are looking for it, and they can find it too, so its just an assumption that SONY doesnt know yet…
if they dont know then what can they be doing in the security patch? maybe its some other possible exploit that the hackers dont knw of either
July 28, 2010 at 3:27 am
I’m going to show you guy’s how to update and downgrade, but PSP-3000 can’t downgrade, next time I’ll prove it to you it doesn’t work, I’ll update ofw 6.31 on my PSP-3000 I don’t even care I’m stuck with that firmware I know it can’t downgrade I just need something on my PSN store
July 28, 2010 at 5:19 am
u dont necessarily have to downgrade to play ISO
if they find something like Chickhen on 5.03 u can very well stay on 6.20 and get ISOs
but anyways, i already updated to 6.30 i dont think anybody can make any such thing for 6.20, if they could make any such thing, they wud have done so by now. so no point in missing the PSN demos
July 28, 2010 at 2:54 pm
is all the exploits on umds?????
July 28, 2010 at 10:46 pm
well most of the times it will be found in demos very rare for umds or full games i guess but the demo is for sure
July 28, 2010 at 3:06 pm
watch half byte load on psp OFWW 5.51 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q2lZi46Ki4
Please create a new CFW!!!!
July 29, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Good god you people are a horrible plague.
HBL is USERMODE.
Besides, even if there was a new CFW, all you’d do was pirate. Ungrateful little bastard.
July 28, 2010 at 11:25 pm

July 29, 2010 at 8:14 am
I have found a bug in the psp web browser (maybe an exploit?). My PSP fw is 6.20 and i don’t know if sony patched it (maybe not?).

July 29, 2010 at 3:21 pm
what if you download it on your ps3 and then copy it to the psp?
July 29, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Nowadays, Sony doesn’t realease a firmware for nothing… maybe they found exploits before others do…
July 29, 2010 at 11:01 pm
man i cant wait to know what game it is i have some money on the side that im going to put in the bank tomorrow and set some aside to my psn acount. if the game is more than 9.99 im not getting it unless i really like that game, and going to play it from time to time but other than that nothing over 9.99 lol its not worth it xD what do ya think
