Installation The file should be placed on the memorystick such that it's location is: MS:\ PSP\GAME\UPDATE\EBOOT.PBP Make sure the file is named EBOOT.PBP. The update is started from the Game --> Memory Stick menu item. If you have any issues, ensure you have over 51% battery capacity and that the unit is plugged into an outlet. You may also need to restore default settings (typical situation that occurs often is when no text is visible, etc)

System Update Information and Changelog 1.50 Added Language support 1.51 Security Fix 1.52 Except the ability to play UMD Music in the main menu, which we hadn't even noticed was a problem -- the only UMD Music release scheduled for America, Eagle Rock's PSP Video Collection, isn't due until later this year). The security updates in 1.52, 2.00 NETWORK - Internet Browser - The biggie of the bunch, a new browser function has been added to the PSP so that you can connect to a website any time you are in the area of a compatible / accessible WiFi hotspot. The browser supports standard 4.01 HTML, but will not support Flash (although it is listed what sounds to be a sniffer function for Flash to show when it is requested but not available ... might it be part of the PSP brower someday?) NETWORK - New Network Menu - This is where the web browser will be housed. The icon for it will be a globe, and it'll cycle in with the music note, film frame, and game logos. VIDEO - Jump Feature in UMD Video/Music - Yes, it doesn't sound nearly as interesting as our original translation of "Performance Jump." It's a new skipping feature in UMDs, perhaps direct chapter access control or something to that effect. VIDEO - A-B Repeat Mode - A handy feature for watching clips you like, this feature allows UMD Video, Music or Memory Stick videos to repeat your favorite scenes VIDEO - 4x3 Video Mode of Memory Stick Video - We're not sure what this accomplishes, as videos were already 4x3. The only way for videos to be bigger and wider was to cheat the system and stretch would-be 4x3 pixels in odd ways with alternate apps. VIDEO - Audio Adjustment Function of Memory Stick Video - Seems to be muting and gain controls for when your homemade videos are not the way you want. VIDEO - MP4 (AVC) Playback - This is the good stuff. Homemade PSP videos have so far been hobbled by limited codec implementation and an adherence to a regulated Memory Stick standard. Instead, the PSP is finally allowed to branch out and play more complex, high-quality video in the advanced h.264 codec. Exact implementation of the AVC codec may still depend on certain variables, but get your compressors ready. MUSIC - ATRAC3plus Support on PRO Duo - Correcting a silly technical gaff in the Memory Stick format, music fans can now put ATRAC3plus files on their PSPs. (SonicStage v3.2 software is required.) MP4 AAC & WAVE Support - The PSP can now play MP4 audio (MP4's AAC format) as well as Linear PCM WAVE files. PHOTO - Wallpaper Feature - We're guessing this is the much-requested feature for taking your favorite pictures and smacking them in the background of the PSP menu. There's no mention of a randomizer or anything else that would make this feature even more cool, but at last, something other than that swishy swirl on this month's color. PHOTO - Picture Sending - You can now trade photos with other PSP owners over an ad-hoc (local) wireless connection PHOTO - New Formats - The PSP can now read TIFF, GIF (we're not sure about animated GIF yet) and BMP files. SETTING - Korean Language - A new language option on the menu. That'll be nice for them SETTING - New Character Set - No details available on this -- hopefully, this is a quick-select for punctuation and other hard-to-type characters. SETTING - Theme Setting - No details. SETTING - Internet Browser Restriction Setting - A set of options for configuring the access your PSP has to the net, presumably your cookie and personal security handling. SETTING - WPA Support - If WEP isn't secure enough for your home, you can now access PSP with WPA-PSK (TKIP.) SETTING - Web Support on Keypad - It's unfortunately not as cool as it sounds (we were hoping for USB keyboard support to be added, as there are a couple of USB manufacturers with mini-keyboards on deck.) The old dial-a-letter keyboard will be the input for the web browser. 2.01 Security Fix 2.50 [LocationFree* Player] has been added as a feature under [Network]. [Auto-Select] and [Unicode (UTF-8)] have been added as options to [Encoding] under [View] in the [Internet Browser] menu bar.

[Volume Adjustment] has been added as a feature to [LocationFree Player] [Internet Browser]:You can now download video data that supports copyright protection. WMA has been added as a codec that can be played under [Music]. (This applies to music data saved on your Memory Stick.) Note: You must adjust a system setting to enable playback of WMA format music data. A connection to the internet is required to adjust the setting. 2.70 [Internet Browser] now supports Macromedia Flash contents playback. You need to enable the Flash contents playback in the [System Settings]. The version of the flash player is Macromedia Flash Player 6 (a part of the functions is not supported). [Internet Browser] settings is added into [Settings] -> [Connection Settings] [RSS Channel] - The audio contents from channels in the section now can be saved into your memory stick. [Location Free Player] - [Auto] option added to [Rate Change] [Music] - Added file extension to playable AAC format. [Settings] - Added [Enable Flash Player] in [System Settings]. To change this option, you need to connect to the internet. [Settings] "Simplified Chinese" and "Traditional Chinese" added to [System Settings] -> [System Language]. [Settings] Added [RSS Channel Settings]. [Settings] Added [UMD Video L & R Button] into [Video Settings]. [Others] - Fixed some issues when using a memory stick with more than 2GB free space. This problem has not happened among the memory sticks sold in Japan until April 24. 2.71 [Internet Browser] can now be used to download demo version of games to memory stick. [LocationFree Player] now displays correct image when selecting the external tuner. This affects users using LocationFree base station model LF-B1 (North America/Taiwan/Korea model) and LF-X11 (North America model). To know your hardware model number, just check you user manual. LocationFree base station models for Japan/Europe are not affected. [Goto Network Service] icon has been added into the "Network" column. 2.80 [RSS Channel] You can now download video and image content. [Location Free Player] You can now register devices via a wireless LAN access point. [Music] You can now play AAC files with the .3gp file extension. [Settings] [Automatic] has been added as an option under [Network Settings] > [Infrastructure Mode]. Select this option when using an access point that supports automatic setup. 2.81 [Security Patch] A patch has been added to address a security vulnerability in the system software. Namely, to block the libtiff exploit. [Memory Stick] The ability for the PSP to correctly recognize high-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo* with more than 4 GB of free (recordable) memory space. [Other] Support for the playback of content stored in [MUSIC], [PICTURE] and [VIDEO] folders at the root level of Memory Stick Duo* media has been added. 2.82 [Security Patch] As described by Sony, *Added security strengthening revisions.* 3.00 [Network Remote Play] Remote play is a new feature in Firmware 3.00 that allows you to remotely control your PlayStation 3 from your PSP. This also includes the display of PS3 content on the PSP. "You can display a PLAYSTATION®3 system screen on a PSP* system and play content that is on the PS3* system. To use this feature, you must adjust the necessary settings on the PSP* system and the PS3* system." Using this new mode of playback, one can control the Photo, Music, Video, and Internet Browser features of the PlayStation 3 from a remote location via their Playstation Portable. [Video Compatibility] In this updated version of the Playstation Portable firmware, you are also able to play a few new video formats. The Motion JPEG format (M-JPEG), is an "informal name for multimedia formats where each video frame or interlaced field of a digital video sequence is separately compressed as a JPEG image" (Wikipedia). The PlayStation Portable plays both the Linear PCM and the ?-Law versions of the Motion JPEG video format. In addition, you will now be able to access the Camera (functionality) from the photo option menus, for quicker easier access when taking photos or video. Another nifty function is the ability to finally turn off Auto Play for inserted UMD Discs via UMD Auto Boot. [PS1 Games] Here's the big tip you've been waiting for. Finally, Sony is going to drop their highly anticipated PlayStation One emulator onto the PSP. From the manual however, there seems to be a unavoidable catch. If you don't have a PS3, your not going to be enjoying PlayStation One games emulating on Sony's PlayStation One emulator for PSP anytime soon. From the manual it states that you must connect to the Playstation Online store with your PSP connected to the PlayStation 3 in order to download and play the games. In addition, they mention that you can in fact share the games, but you must activate the other system in the Friends menu as a PS3 Network Account. 3.01 [Bug/Issue correction] Fixed an issue found within the title: Jeanne d'Arc. [Security Patch] Added security strengthening revisions. Details unknown. 3.02 [Security Patch] Added security strengthening revisions.

[Joey]

Thread Edited, and Stickied... Thanks KON!!! ...

[Jake]

I'd like to see some differentiation between US/JP releases as well. Most of us know that it doesn't really matter, but alot of our users would like to use the firmware package meant for their PSP.

Nice work, KON!

[KINGOFNOOBS]

[Jay C]

So is the 2.0 eboot loader worth updating to 2.0 over, or should I stick with 1.5 until I decide to update to 2.5?

[TheMysteriousThug]

[jphizzle]

I figured it out; all I had to do was restore default settings before updating. If I follwed your advice it wouldn't have worked anyways...

Before you even download the downgrader files disable norton and any otther virus protection you have.It will detect the files as a virus "even though theyre not"and erase or disable them.
