PSP firmware 2.0 is out

The Japanese update even works on US PSPs. It is reported that the US 2.0 firmware will be identical, it is just being held of for "political" reasons. I guess this means that the UK PSP will be shipped with 2.0 and all this new functionality as well.

If you own an US PSP, then use the IGN version of the firmware instead (a few people have reported The game could not be started. (80020148) errors when using the Japanese firmware on their US PSP).

One possible drawback with the 2.0 firmware is that Sony has locked down all the loopholes that people were using to run unauthorised code. Home brewn code such as emulators (ScummVM), utilities and pirated games that worked on versions up to 1.5 will not work. It may however just be a matter of time before people exploit some buffer overflow in the new browser or other design flaws.

Now back to the garden and reading /. on the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP).

    You need a wireless router or access point (AP) at home.

    Flick the wireless switch to on.

    Configure your PSP to connect to said router/AP. Choose easy setup which means DHCP (PSP will get an IP automatically).

    If you are using WEP/WPA, configure the PSP in the same way. Make sure to add PSP's MAC to allowed devices on your router/AP.

    PSP is WiFi B standard only so make sure your router is in Mixed mode.
