Sony is at it again, they have just released 2.82. Apparently the only change is a security update. Why did they do this? Well, maybe they found a flaw in 2.81, maybe there are some new files for the camera/GPS. Or maybe they are just trying to mess with our heads I can not see a reason for updating to this new firmware. There is no homebrew, no ISO loading, no fun! Unless you have 2 PSPs or are just crazy, stay away!

thanks to dcemu for the heads up on this new update

screw that.

^actually, there are some decent new features, but not enough to upgrade me from 1.5

i heard theres now flash in broaser which can go on youtube.... can someone confirm this??...

I though they will release firmwire 3, instead of 2.82 Oh well, im quite happy with my 1.5

So what does this 2.82 good for? what does it do? is any of this worth it? can somebody give me link or info about this new upgrade thanks

The US site has the info on 2.82: http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP/Support/SystemUpdate

There doesn't seem to be any real changes from 2.81, the only important thing is:

So I'm guessing there won't be any homebrew in 2.82, at least not via the currently known exploits.

Who cares... It's just another patch to make it even better security if there is and exploit found. Like to make it harder to make a Downgrader or new eloader.

the upgrade allows you to play loco roco halloween edition
