PSP Firmware 2.5 Released


Most Sony PSP owners just upgraded their firmware to 2.0 about a couple months ago, but Sony has released a 2.5 upgrade already.

According to Sony, here's what's new:
  • Videos with DRM can be played
  • Streaming Video Support
  • Clock Set via Internet
  • Location Free Wi-Fi TV Player has been added
  • Unicode support in the Browser with automatic Encoding Detection
  • Save your text size settings in the Browser
  • Save your Browser input history (URLs)
  • NTP (Network Time Protocol) support
  • WPA and PSK have been added to network setting
  • Korean input keyboard method

The 2.5 firmware update is only for customers who own the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) model number PSP-1001. If you don't know what model PSP you own, take a look at the serial number located at the bottom of your PSP. The last seven digits of the serial number should end with PSP1001.

You can download the PSP Firmware System Update 2.5 here.

If you are not sure what version of firmware is currently installed on your Sony PSP, please read our firmware tutorial.

do we really need new firmware every few months? what's up with this?
 


Trying to rationalize why I did this upgrade. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with it now.

Can anyone point to how to access these new Location Free Wi-Fi TV Player features?

Thanx.
 


You need to buy a base station for your psp which is around $200. there's no point, u may aswell go out and buy a new tv!

The software version is saved in the PSP onboard flash memory, and there is no option to reset. There are ways to change this by exploiting vulnerabilities in the Firmware. Right now, 2.5 and 2.6 can be downgraded to the magic 1.50 with a compatible copy of GTA:Liberty City Stories, and 2.0 can be downgraded via a TIFF exploit. However, recently, there has been an exploit uncovered which may allow firmwares as high as 2.71 to be downgraded.
