PSP Firmware 2.0 Upgrade Gets Web Friendly, Wallpaper Friendly, Image Friendly, and more.
Official as of now, Sony is indeed pushing a web browser during this 2.0 firmware upgrade. The browser is the major piece they are bleating in every press release and news story today, but a lot more is gained from the firmware upgrade:
- The Obvious: Web Browser added. Which really means free pocket porn is that much more accessible.
- A native 4:3 Screen mode has been added for those living in 16:9 denial.
- Sick of the monthly background color defaults? A nice new Wallpaper feature has been added so your background can be as random as you are.
- Sony finally recognizes GIF, TIFF, PNG, and BMP as valid image formats.
- Sony finally recognizes WAV and MP4 as valid audio formats.
- Sony finally recognizes Korean as a valid language.
- Ad hoc mode image transfer has been enabled. True meaning: PSP Porn goes viral!
- A GO TO feature has been enabled for selecting UMD chapters in mid-play.
And a few other “security” features, but who truly cares about “security”?
So, is the upgrade worth the upgrade? For those with plain ol’ unhacked PSP systems, absolutely. For those with hacked or modded systems, I still recommend it. Its better to download the update now since those who broke previous firmware upgrades are already hard at work at breaking this one. You’ll want to grab 2.0 now so that you don’t end up getting a later version (2.1, 2.5, 2.52, etc) that Sony has already modified to defend against 2.0 hacks.

When I looked at the image on this article, only one thing popped into my mind: “Shame that’s not the price.”
hmm…I wonder if instant messaging is possible?…damn I miss my homebrew apps in emulators but still this web browssr rocks more than a horse on an earthquake!!!
Most Game (and Demo) UMD’s have a version on them, in the UMD menu look for a UMD symbol with arrows in it, it will tell you what version is included.
You can get the firmware from the official Playstation website.
Once you’re upgraded, give http://net4psp.com it makes getting around the web much easier.
