New PSP Firmware with Built-In Web Browser

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bet-it's-harder-to-hack dept.

Volksport writes "Sony has released a new major firmware update for the PSP, bringing it to v2.00 (This link points to the install file). This new version offers updates such as a built-in web browser (User agent says it is Mozilla/4.0) and Korean language support. Although it was only released in Japan so far, it installs normally on US PSP systems." This version apparently breaks all hacks so far too.

    To update, and lose the SNES9x and e-reader features I love, or to just go out and buy another one to play games on....

    Hmmm... knowing the rapid pace of hackers versus the Slashdot editors, which will come first: the hack to get the latest firmware to work, or the dupe of this story? ;)

    Has anyone tried out the browser yet?

    I want to know how it performs, and how easy it is to use before I go ahead and cripple the modability of my system.

    Thank you.

    Finally, we can stop those goddamn hackers from stealing Sony's money by running a Nintendo emulator on their $250 unit combined with the $60 memory stick they bought! Stupid kids want everything for free, god bless Sony for taking back what was theirs!
