PSP Firmware 5.03 Incoming

Posted by x3sphere at January 19, 2009, 8:44 pm


Update: The update is now available and as per usual, can be directly downloaded through this link or via Network Update.

As the headline clearly indicates, PSP firmware 5.03 is due out shortly. It’s being touted as a maintenance update only, so if you were expecting any new features or enhancements, save that excitement for another day. According to PlayStation Network director Eric Lempel, the sole purpose of this update is to fix a security vulnerability found in the latest PSP system software revision:

I wanted to give you a quick heads up that a new PSP firmware update, v. 5.03, will be released soon. This update includes a security patch for the PSP’s system software.

Most likely, this security patch deals with closing up with the user mode exploit found in GripShift a couple weeks ago. So, if you fancy running homebrew code on that PSP-3000, it’d be wise to refrain from updating. Just sayin.

i wonder if sony will ever turn to the hacking community as they need it, it would be interesting to see D_A working with sony. They would probably get 5 times the users they have now, and more third party developers would be motivated to write new games and software. jus sayin.
