Master-Of-GTA Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hey! I've just bid on a PSP on eBay, and it comes with firmware 2.01. I'd like to keep my PSP up to date, but I'd also like to use the CheatDevice. Does upgrading the firmware fix any bugs or does it just make it harder for hackers to change the PSP's coding? Should I keep the firmware or should I upgrade it? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/266676-firmware-worries/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMAG Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Upgraded firmware is sh*t to say the least.. Stay with 2.01, you wont regret it. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/266676-firmware-worries/#findComment-4040638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterbottle Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 downgrade to 1.50 then upgrade to 3.10 OE, I say. Then you get both the newest firmware and homebrew (incl. cheatdevice) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/266676-firmware-worries/#findComment-4040825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you get both the newest firmware and homebrew (incl. cheatdevice) I would'nt tell him that. The cheat device doesnt actualy work on 3.10 OE-A yet. It frezzes the game as soon as the .prx loads.

Waterbottle Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) downgrade to 1.50 then upgrade to 3.10 OE, I say. Then you get both the newest firmware and homebrew (incl. cheatdevice) I would'nt tell him that. The cheat device doesnt actualy work on 3.10 OE-A yet. It frezzes the game as soon as the .prx loads. But you can still use the cheatdevice by running devhook. Hence you really can run the cheatdevice whilst on 3.10OE, in a way.

Master-Of-GTA Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Um, I'll pretend I understand what you just said . Something about 'devhook' and 3.10OE... Anyway, so I shouldn't download the latest updates? I should just keep 2.01? If I wanted to downgrade, could someone please confirm that the downgrader I got a link for, actually works? I just DO NOT want to brick a $300 toy. Besides, since I'm only fourteen, it's the most expensive thing I've bought so far in my life... Finally, do the updates fix any bugs in the software AT ALL?

Master-Of-GTA Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm the most excited I've ever been in my life. 30 minutes to go in the PSP auction, and I might get it for $225!

BLKMAG Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Basicly, if you wana be able to use the hacks for GTA LCS easily.. Just keep your firmware at the current version. Im 13, and i just downgraded my 3.03 psp to 1.5, then upgraded to 2.00 with the Liberty city upgrader, (You need a firmware the same or higher than the upgrader on the disk to run it) Anyway, i upgraded and look where i am now. Its a path you wont wana follow as it left me with a boring sh*tty psp for 6 months. Now i have the old version again, i have a use for my psp. Don't upgrade, its not worth it. Features on upgraded version include * Flash player, meaning your psps web-browser can now display annoying pop up adds. *A lot of new music/video formats. *Easier to put videos on memory card. Thats all i can think of atm, theres losts more, but im back at 2.00, and i suggest you don't upgrade.

Waterbottle Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Um, I'll pretend I understand what you just said . Something about 'devhook' and 3.10OE... You can install the cheatdevice for devhook. And then use the cheatdevice with devhook. (Like everyone did before the custom firmwares) That's all I were saying.

Master-Of-GTA Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Ugh. I'm torn between updating and not. Everyone's recommending I shouldn't, but that little voice in the back of my head's going: "Update your firmware. Keep up with the latest. You'll get more features and support!". I'm trying to tell that voice to piss off, but it won't . Hmmm, I might as well keep the PSP at 2.01 if you need that to run LCS. Out of curiosity, what's the latest version I can update to if I want to run the CheatDevice? Also, is there a 'firmware selection screen' so you can choose what to update to?

That voice is worng, you can do almost anything a normal firmware can, with custom firmware. Sure you'll have a few things with normal firmware, but who needs some korean font pack?

Master-Of-GTA Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Korean font pack? Who the hell would want that? Yeah, I think I'll keep 2.01. It seems to be the best anyway, from what I've heard. Cool, that's all settled! Thanks for your help. It's much appreciated. I've got one more question: Will the CheatDevice automatically overclock my PSP? Because I definitely do not want to do that. Also, can you turn the Trails in LCS off? I reckon they look ugly...

Blackadder. Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Also, can you turn the Trails in LCS off? I reckon they look ugly... It isn't trails, it's the PSP lagging, switch your PSP to 333Mhz and it should go away Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/266676-firmware-worries/#findComment-4044583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMAG Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Highest firmware you can go to with full support from the GTA LCS hack is version 2.60. Go any higher and you're stuffed. Stay with 2.01 or upgrade to 2.6, nothings really changed from 2.6 to 3.03. Except the flash compatability and a few formats. Its not worth the upgrade IMO. Also, make sure you don't download an upgrader for 2.6 from any website. Make sure its been used / tested or you could brick your psp... (Brick meaning , completely kill it, wont turn on or anything, as usefull as a brick) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/266676-firmware-worries/#findComment-4044692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Of-GTA Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks for all your help everyone, it's really appreciated. I'll be recieving the PSP in about a week, and I'm looking forward to it very much.

Master-Of-GTA Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) Right. I've updated my PSP, because I don't want to do anything that could remotely harm it anyway. Besides, the upside of this is that you can listen to radio channels, and even remotely play PS3 games on it! Again, thanks for all your help.
