As the tits at Sony release firmware 3 for the PSP (with PS1 emulation support, if you’re daft enough to own a PS3 and live in the US/Japan), I noticed my PSP has a old (pre TA-082) motherboard. And so it got the flash treatment – to Dark Alex’s 2.71SE firmware.
This is very neat – no hacking around, just launch third party software from the games menu. Well worth the [minor] risk of a flash. There are, of course, two prerequisites – firstly, you need a TA-081 or prior motherboard. Secondly, firmware 2.71 or below.
For those who can’t flash, however, at least Sid Meier’s Pirates! is coming to the PSP in the new year.
On another note, what is with the inclusion of trailers on [non-rental] DVDs? We bought the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and not only does it have 2 trailers before the menu, but all the booklets included are just full of marketing rubbish. Is it any wonder people just pirate these things when companies try to screw all possible marketing revenue from you?
