Firmware 4.2 Preloaded On PSP-3000

Posted by x3sphere at October 6, 2008, 10:40 am


According to a Eurogamer hands-on session with the PSP-3000, which is scheduled for a worldwide release next week, the unit comes with firmware 4.20 preloaded. The updated system software revision includes a “USB Auto-Connect” option, which automatically begins charging the PSP within the XMB when a USB cable is inserted. Elsewhere, a “Color Space” setting has added to the firmware. When activated, it allows users to take advantage of the enhanced LCD screen found in the PSP-3000 to display more vivid colors.

Interestingly, the hardware ships with a smaller AC adapter unit - one that does away with the black box power pack and actually can fit in your pocket.

So does this mean the rest of us will be getting 4.2 next week?


and


Would the Color space setting do anything for those of use with psp 1 or 2000s?


Because if not I seriously doubt Dark Alex will be any more encouraged to create the next custom firmware

Maybe. It might not be 4.2, though. When the Slim debuted it came preloaded with 3.60 which was never released in EBOOT form. 3.70 was released a couple weeks after the Slim came out. So that being said, we might see 4.3 or something to that effect shortly after the 3000 launches.

I'm thinking the USB Auto-Connect option will be available to Slim owners in the next firmware. The Color Space setting probably won't though.
