Custom firmware 3.80 released by Dark_Alex


Homebrew users will rejoice at the release of the newest version of M33. The newest release promises to have most functionality of Sony's latest firmware release, but also gives users the ability to launch homebrew applications and mods. A big new feature in this release is the ability to use a Network Update-styled interface to automatically upgrade to later versions of this CFW. To download the update, and get instructions on how to use the program, visit Dark_Alex's website now.

You will need to download firmware 3.80 from Sony's official website in order to use this installer. Please note that use of any hacks to your system will void its warranty. Do not attempt installing custom firmware without carefully reading all instructions. This update will not work on PSPs with official firmware.

Video shows Japanese 3.80 firmware in action

Our friend at PSP GadgetZ has just uploaded a new video, highlighting all the features of the Japanese version of firmware 3.80. While the rest of the world must be satisfied with internet radio (which we are), the Japanese get the very cool ability to record shows from their 1seg tuner. Yes, the PSP is a DVR machine in Japan, and we're incredibly jealous.

Firmware 3.80 now available via Network Update


PSP firmware 3.80 is now available via Network Update. Here's the scoop on what's new:
  • [Internet Radio] has been added as a feature under [Network].
  • The importing of channels in OPML format is now supported under [RSS Channel].
  • Photos can now be displayed under [RSS Channel].
  • New effects have been added to the visual player under [Music]. Only one new visualizer has been added. It acts like a slow Etch-a-Sketch.
For a direct download of the update, click here. Save to PSP/GAME/UPDATE.

Note: To install an internet radio system to your system, you must follow instructions included in the new firmware. To access, click here. There are two internet radio systems available, each with its own stations. There are a huge variety of stations available, covering a number of genres (J-Pop and K-Pop included!). We hope to have a video hands-on tomorrow.

PSP gains DVR and internet radio functionality in firmware 3.80


On December 18th, PSP firmware 3.80 will be released in Japan with two new highly desirable features. First is digital video recording capabilities, made possible with the new Japan-only 1seg peripheral. With firmware 3.80, it will be possible to record television shows from the 1seg peripheral directly onto the Memory Stick for later viewing.

Internet radio will also be added in the next firmware upgrade. Exactly how the service will work is unclear at this time. [Update: Images have surfaced on Watch Impress' website.]

DVR is a huge feature that unfortunately isn't possible outside of Japan unless appropriate peripherals are released globally. However, internet radio is hopefully something all PSP users around the world will be able to take advantage of. Once again, PSP is expanding its capabilities, becoming more features-packed than anyone could've predicted.
