Posted by x3sphere at October 21, 2008, 10:43 pm


Update: Firmware 5.01 for PSP is now available through Network Update. As usual, we have included a download link below for those who wish to install the update manually.

Sony PlayStation Network director Eric Lempel has announced that PSP firmware 5.01 is due out for release shortly. As indicated by the version increment, this will be a minor update, addressing an issue related to Memory Sticks PRO Duo cards over 8GB in size. The issue in question resulted in an out of space notification at times while downloading content from the PlayStation Store, even if enough space was available.

I got a question, who will actually use the PSP store? Besides the small amount of people that will (i mean kids wont use it, and not many adults are interested in the PSP) Unless there are alot of free third party demos on the store i dont see myself using it to try new games before I buy.


for prople saying too bad for CFW, the 8GB and up issue is only on the PSP Store not on homebrew.

So is the memory stick fix included in the M33-3? In other words, did the M33-3 update replace a file which includes the fix?

Thanks

No, because that bug was fixed by Sony. You'll need to extract the 5.01 firmware using the latest version of PSARDumper and replace the system file "npinstaller_plugin.prx."

Thanks. I'll go down that path if I get the error message. For now M33-3 is working fine.
