Following the trails of yesterday’s heated 3.00 firmware update, 3.01 has now been released to the masses. Network Update tells us that this is only a minor fix, with various security updates.

The long-awaited 3.00 update has finally been released! It includes PS1 Emulation support, music visualizations, support for the new Camera add-on, an option to choose whether UMDs will be launched on bootup, and a remote play network feature.

Just as a warning, this update potentially blocks all future homebrew access. If you are a fan of running homebrew on the PSP, it would be wise to wait until a new method is found for booting homebrew apps on 3.0 before updating.
