Forced Firmware Updates
Some games are now going to be forcing firmware updates to version 1.50 (So you can still use homebrew if you want). Which ones? Dead to Rights: Reckoning, DUB Racing, and Coded Arms have all been said to not play without 1.5 firmware (There is a download on the UMD to update the firmware if [...]
