PSP Firmware 3.70 Released

Posted by x3sphere at September 10, 2007, 9:17 pm


Well what do you know, only hours after the first PSP Slim and Lite custom firmware was unleashed, Sony has released firmware 3.70 for the PSP. It includes quite a number of interesting features, such as custom themes.

* You can now set custom themes in Theme Settings.
* Support has been added for assigning buttons in Remote Play
* A scene search feature has been added under video
* Sequential playback is now supported under video
* Simultaneous playback of content under Music and Photo is now supported

Also interesting to note, but expected, is that this update is universal. It works on both the regular PSP and PSP Slim. As always, it is not recommended to upgrade if you value homebrew.

the update seems to come in for all the fat psps as well. gonna check it out in a bit.

x3sphere says:

I've heard it works on both the PSP Slim and PSP Phat.

Though I wouldn't recommend trying it on a Slim as there's no way to downgrade those yet, even with Pandora.

TimTiger says:

yep, gonna patch my psp so that I can get the update and check it out. of corse not gonna stay there since no homebrew sucks.

EDIT: Ok those new features are very nice. music playback will only follow to pictures and if you click anywhere else on the XMB it turns off. I really like the ability to seek through any point in the video. you can tell it an spacific time to jump to or look at clips setup on it and view jump to those. I have to say that this has potential to be good especially the video part. all that needs done is it to be made into homebrew. :) now back to M33.

BAD NEWS!! Looks like at first you cant use pandoras to go back to 1.50. more details in a bit. Never mind, small problem with my MS. got it fixed and back to 1.50

Acerthief says:

so this pandora battery works on 3.70 on fat psp's too?
shoot i'm confused hereXD.

kingfoot says:

ugh! i downloaded the update but havnt applied it yet because well... its an official release. not custom firmware. im stuck at 3.52 with no way of getting my psp downgraded. when will they release a software downgrader!?

XsavioR says:

What location are you from. Many people have pandoras, which will DG u

"* You can now set custom themes in Theme Settings."- sorry my english is really bad, can someone tell me what does this mean?
does this mean u can put custom themes like in a CFW?

x3sphere says:

Yeah... there are already two themes made by Sony that are available. They are going to release a software to create themes later this month apparently.

Hanzo_f19 says:

wow, for the first time they are really doing some upgrades

Hanzo_f19 says:

one more question, do we need to mess up with flash0 to install this theme?

x3sphere says:

Nope, it loads the theme files off the memory stick.

Hanzo_f19 says:

thankx, that may save some ppl

RJC4LIFE says:

Will this be available via M33 CFW anytime soon?

Hanzo_f19 says:

probably

Fako says:

next on exophase:
in 24 hours: firmware 3.70 decrypted

God bless hacking.

Hanzo_f19 says:

its going to be easy
i wonder what team wildc*rd is going to do, i mean they still havent released 3.52* and there is already 3.70 out

Hanzo_f19 says:

^ Europe download link

All the region updates are actually the same, though... so it doesn't really make a difference.

Hanzo_f19 says:

ok ,thankx

kingfoot says:

Im near Seattle, Wa (just east actually) and I've looked all around for close people but none have claimed to be close, and none of my friends have PSP's with CFW or an OFW that can be downgraded through software, and im 17 with very strange parents. meaning they wont let me mail the stuff, and i personally dont feel comfortable meeting someone. so either i wait till im 18 and move out (im tired of this shit) which is in about 7 months, or i wait till a software downgrader is released for 3.52, or 3.60 or 3.70 for psphat. i really am pissed that my buddy upgraded my brand new, just purchased 2.71 OFW psphat... i bought it to do homebrew for the first time to play some fun games, and he does that "because [he] wanted to play a demo"

i have a different buddy with 3.40 (we would upgrade to 3.50) and we cant downgrade 3.50 because neither of us have an original copy of lumines, or access to buying things online.

Well instead of sending your PSP, instead send a battery and memstick, than if things go wrong (unlikely if your sending to people on noobz) it ain't such a big loss? Any how we're way off topic for this thread..

MenaceInc says:

sounds like a certain plugin that we might know of..... :P

Sony leeching off the homebrew scene again?...not surprising....still a very good feature though :)

Hanzo_f19 says:

"It reached the point where it can play back the animated picture which is retained in the memory stick duo continually."- so this means we can play animated GIFs, right? has anyone tried that?
