Sony PSP system version 2.0 + Web browser?

Psp 2.0 hits us on Aug. 12 theres a leak that the american version will have a word processor.

Source: SCEA

I'm definitely looking forward to 2.0, but a word processor? Without even a rudimentary keyboard? Man, I'm not that much of a glutton for punishment! :-)

Hi Dave,

Thanks for letting me in.
Would you semd me the PSP English manual please? Or show me where I can dld her?

Thanks.

Marjorie

Marjorie, the English manual for the Sony PSP can be found here:

http://www.us.playstation.com/psp/Manuals.aspx

Is there any other hacks that you know of beside the wipeout game hack... thanks.

The site http://www.psphacks.com/ has lots of hacks, cool and otherwise. Good luck!

hey...?.....I just thought of something, could't you use of thouse MSN simulated websites 'emessanger' and chat to your msn contacts same as pc?

I think step 3 should be PSP/Game

I had to create a directory called Game (note lower case) not GAMES

hi dave,

i have the web browser but it doesnt work it

says it cant find the access point wat is that

i mean im only 11 wat do i know how can i get it to work

bye

If you're 11 get your dad to do it (or tell your parents to stop spoiling you). Otherwise just wait for the North American release. And Zack, I'm not sure if those will work because most of them require some sort of install into Internet Explorer, and the PSP browser does not use an IE engine.

it is now aug 12 12:30am and no download wtf

hi dave taylor , its now august 12th , so were can i download the new american 2.0 update ? cause its not showing up on the psp. so please reply . thanks alot

I wish I had an inside track with Sony and could definitively answer this question, but so far, no news, no rumors and no download. Stay tuned to the Sony site, I guess.

Firmware 2.0 for US PSPs delayed

Web browser, background wallpaper, photo sharing, and more will have to wait until August 15.

With PSP owners complaining about the dearth of games available for the multimedia handheld, many have been using the portable for things other than gaming. The months of June, July, and August yielded only five new games for the handheld, making the PSP's other functions (MP3 player, movie player, digital photo viewer) more essential.

Sony is making North American PSPs even more practical with the release of the PSP Firmware 2.0. However, gamers eager to hold a weekend PSP-Web-browsing party got some bad news today. A Sony spokesperson has confirmed that the North American edition of Firmware 2.0 won't be available until August 15. The company originally pegged today as the release date for the upgrade. A Japanese version was released last month.

The update's most significant addition is the Web browser application, which lets PSP owners tap into free wireless hot spots to surf the Internet. Other features include "enhanced video and audio playback, photo sharing options, broader network connectivity, and a customizable interface to suit each user's personal style."

im hearing alot about this firmware 2.0 what is it suppose to do?????

The Japanese Version of the firmware does work on the US PSP because they are technically the same (like the DS) It is just the language that differs. On a website I saw they said Sony might be delaying the US 2.0 update until SEPTEMBER 1 to make it fair to the EU and the Australian markets.

For Some reason, the PSP 2.0 Upgrade willnot conect for me... It gives me a Error message :

"The game could not be started
(80020148)"

Any Ideas? >.<

do u have to dowload it to get it? if not then y hasnt it come out on wireless conection?

I was a bit nervous about installing the japenese firmware 2.0 onto my north american psp, but it went without a hitch and the web browser is amazing. sony kept pushing the NA release back, its the 16th and its still not out yet :(

i bought my psp here in kenya its a north american psp and i have installed the version 2.0 and it works fine

I have 2.00 And It works fine but I cant figer out how to get on the web broser on it please help.

Hi, Dave. I have been trying to download the 2.0 version for the psp but everytime I follow the directions my adobe reader tries to open it. I have tried everything but the psp keeps saying corrupted data. Please help me!!!

Kiski

That's strange, Kiski. Try right clicking on the link on the Sony site and choosing "Download link" instead of just left-clicking on it.

ive been searching for a site all day to download the 2.0 software for psp. Anyone know any good sites to download it? thanks

Ah, well, Rob, you could try the Sony site itself:

http://www.us.playstation.com/psp.aspx

I currently have version 2.00. How can i read e-books on my PSP. Thanx

Sup savys' If you want the 2.0 firmware for the psp AMERICAN VERSION then go to this site
www.hack-psp.com
then click on DOWNLOADS, then FIRMWARE and it will have it there aight have any probs then let me know, just mail me at Nightslayer13@aol.com

when i download the new firmware. i get "game could not be started (80020148)" help me

how do i download the version 2.0

I hope everyone knows by now that there is a way to downgrade 2.0 back to 1.5. -> hero.

Assuming, as always, that you're willing to trust the very functionality of your Sony PSP to unknown hackers who might think it's cool to help you downgrade, but might also just think it's funny to help you "brick" your PSP. (Bricking is when the PSP is left non-functional and "about as useful as a brick". And yes, it happens)

ok someone PLEASE help. I've been reading all about downgrading your psp from 2.00 to 1.50. i know how to do it.. I've read the instructions a milion times and i do them right..when i click on the memory stick on game, it shows the 1.50 update but when i click on it, all it says is "this game could not be started"

I thought about it and i think it has to do with this: when i try to transfer the EBOOT.PHP file to the UPDATE folder, it locks up and says "cannot copy eboot:cannot find the specified file. make sure you specify the correct path and file name". but after i try it again, it shows that its already been transfered... so i dont know..thats probably rthe problem but someone please help. and I've already downloaded the eboot twice.

i have a simple problem
i cnt view videos on my psp...

i created a folder named video and put the *.mp4 file and still it says no videos

wat i shall do??

btw i am v.2 cuz i boughtthis game n it ddnt work unless i updated it n it had it's update already with it...

thanks very much

Saramir, please read this:

thank you very much Dave :)

I have a PSP and I am trying to connect to the airport (wireless) at my house. I am configuring my PSP correctly (I think), but I get an error.
'A connection error has occurred. A connection to the access point could not be established. Check the security setting for network and try again.'
I am using my laptop wireless and I do pick up the access point. Any help you can give me would be great.

Can someone please tell me where i can download the system update to 2.0? The PSP site shows only 2.7. Appreciate It.

i have the same problem as benny please help us

Ben Roldan,
You need to copy over the EBOOT file while plugged in to the A/C. I had the same issue. I plugged it into the A/C, then formatted the Duo card and tried copying the file and it worked. Good Luck.

Not being that much of a technical buff I followed your hints on downloading the eboot.pbp file from my laptop to my PSP (as I had recently purchased a game that required v2.60 to be installed).

Easy to follow and managed the download without any hitches whatsoever.

Thanks - top marks
