Not so cool updates for us phat users. >_>

YoKo says:

I think i will skip this one... nothing special, especially because i am a PHAT owner...

pspknightx says:

Heard of Skype update is applicable only for PSP2001、2002、2003、2004、2005、2006、2007、2008、2010.

As for PSP1000 and PSP2000 can be updated but there will be no option for "Skype" which suppose under the XMB.

Has anyone tried this update? My PSP model is 2000 japan :crying:

Acerthief says:

PSP2000? Impossible.

Skype starts in Japan firstly, and japan PSP's are PSP2000.

Where'd you get this information?

pspknightx says:

You go and try the update for 3.90 and read the update things there. (But do not update to official firmware, cancel after u read the words there.)

It mention that the skype update compatibility is for PSP-2001,PSP-2002,PSP,2003,PSP-2003,PSP-2004,PSP-2005,PSP-2006,PSP-2007,PSP-2008,PSP-2010.

Why Sony abandon Japan Model :sad::confused1:

Acerthief says:

Hm... Not likely I'd say. All these projects start off in Japan, It's likely impossible that they don't do it.

pspknightx says:

Don't know whether it is true or not.
(Praying for 2000 can use skype under 3.90)

Hope someone can prove it so that i can relax.
The reason why i bought PSP2000 is that it can use Skype but now someone said that no compatibility for PSP-2000 model. As for PSP1000 i know it cant be helped. :sad:

XJ.08 says:

That is not fair why slim had the skype and phat no?

pspknightx says:

Because phat only has 32mb and slim has 64mb.

firaX says:

If you read the recent news, it said skype was postponed in JAPAN due to the headsets not being skype certified yet.
So here you go, nothing new.
And it doesnt matter, as in CFW you can just fake the region from japan to USA or EU in the recovery menu and you will get your skype icon nevertheless.
Once the Japanese headsets are certified there will be a 3.91 update that removes the "block" of Japanese psp units.
But as i said, assuming most people wait for CFW, it doesnt matter due to the fake region option.

pspknightx says:

But the fake region cant be used in official firmware and currently there isnt update for CFW - 3.90m33?? :blink:

Hanzo_f19 says:

Omg! We are going to see go!messenger really soon!
After upgrading you can see the go!messenger icon.

firaX says:

Yes but i assume most people on here will wait for 3.90m33 anyways and not use the official firmware...so in that case it doesnt matter, they just fake region to usa or EU and get skype functionality.

nevster says:

will we be able to use the m33 network update to upgrade if a 3.90 m33 cfw comes out?

x3sphere says:

Yes, you will.

@XJ.08: It's because the Slim has 64 MB RAM vs the Phat's 32MB.

Tenshigami says:

I seriously don't see DAX making a CFW of this just yet. The only feature it adds is a Slim-Only version of what Noobz has created for ALL homebrew enabled PSPs.

Juliet says:

Will Go!Messenger be available for phat users? Or will it be the same as the Skype thing? And what are the differences between them?

x3sphere says:

Go!Messenger will be available for both models. It's a bit different from Skype as it allows you send instant messages and supports video chat via the Go!Cam.

pspknightx says:

What is the Go!Messenger?
Can it be used by now?

x3sphere says:

Not yet, it comes out in Feb - March I believe.

icedman204 says:

Does DAX's Multi Disc Popsloader still work on 3.90M33??? because i'm thinkin gof compressing FF7 into one Eboot to save me the time of reinserting the Eboot files.

aki8888 says:

DAx yes!but thers an easy way of that convert to cso more ok!

aki8888 says:

aki


i think japan is late in skype,where to buy a headset for skype??

kazama_06 says:

exellent

jayski07 says:

is this japanese version?

x3sphere says:

What is..? All released firmware updates thus far have been universal and not specific to one region.
