2.50 Firmware Update!
PSP System Firmware Version 2.50 is Out! We got a news tip just minutes ago from a guy called Niklas saying that the 2.50 firmware update was now available via the “Network Update” feature on the PSP. We are guessing that the 2.01 update was a ‘hotfix’ to clear the exploitable toc2rta libtiff exploit in the PSP’s photo viewer. Expect this 2.50 fix to be a more stable wall against letting hackers run homebrew applications and games on their PSPs in many ways. On the other hand, it's easy to speculate that 2.50 could be easier to hack than 2.01 now that copyright video can be played on a memory stick, and the location free player has been added. Those two programs could open up potentially exploitable loopholes. Expect future games to require the 2.50 update to play, and the rest of the usual hubbub we’ve seen with previous security patches. UPDATE: The Japanese PSP homepage has been updated to include the 2.50 update. So like with the 2.0 update, it is available only to the Japanese first, though loading the 2.0 JP update on US PSPs had no negative effects. UPDATE: Final Changelog is in: FEATURES IN 2.50 INCLUDE: - has been added as a feature under .
