I am trying to start a list of known forced update games (upgrading from 1.5). To the best of my knowledge, these are the only games as of yet. Anyone have any others they know of?

FORCED FIRMWARE UPDATE GAME LIST:
--------------------------------------
Armored Core(?)
Coded Arms
Dead to Rights: Reckoning(?)
Death Jr.(?)
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City(?)

Can anyone verify the (?) games?

Thanks.

From what I read at IGN. Midnight Club 3, Coded Arms, and Dead 2 Rights will include 1.52 firmware but wont require them to play.

**Joey** · 06-28-2005, 01:56 AM

Coded Arms and Dead to Rights: Reckoning upgrade TO 1.5, not from 1.5... I don't know abou the others...

eboinh · 06-28-2005, 04:26 AM

Alright, so far:

FORCED FIRMWARE UPDATE GAME LIST:
--------------------------------------
Armored Core (?)
Coded Arms (Forced to 1.50)
Dead to Rights: Reckoning (Forced to 1.50)
Death Jr.(?)
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City(?)
Midnight Club 3: Dub (Forced to 1.50)

Thanks for your help!

edit your original post with your new information, so people dont have to scour the topic to find it

MakioMan · 06-28-2005, 05:36 AM

alright so good so far not having to upgrade higher than what we already have a hack for.....

**dy457y** · 06-28-2005, 01:21 PM

Ahh man, this sucks...I have a imported 1.0 PSP and I wanted Midnight Club and Coded Arms. But it forces to 1.5. I know that 1.5 has been hacked to play homebrews too but 1.0 was just much more simpler.

**FrozenIpaq** · 06-28-2005, 01:22 PM

yeah it is confimed that GTA: LCS will force an update, but it might force one above 1.5 :*(

**ruffnutts** · 06-28-2005, 11:54 PM

Is 1.5 firmware still avalible?

**tylinbrando** · 06-29-2005, 12:00 AM

what do you mean...
for download?
to buy as a new system in stores??

I just bought mine 2 weeks ago from gamestop and its 1.5....

also have the 1.5 firmware upgrade in a zip file

**ruffnutts** · 06-29-2005, 01:04 AM

for download i have a jap 1.0 and i may aswell upgrade to 1.5 seen as ive
just bought D.T.R and i most Probably cant play it unless i upgrade :wall:

seishinbyou · 06-29-2005, 04:36 AM

Space Invaders Pocket (JP)
Intelligent License (JP)

Both require firmware updates to 1.5 in order to play
(Verified personally)

**Shatterdome** · 06-29-2005, 01:47 PM

"....Coded Arms (Forced to 1.50)
Dead to Rights: Reckoning (Forced to 1.50)...."

Prolly be prudent to wait for these to be released in north america before saying what version they force on you...

**Roscco** · 06-29-2005, 02:47 PM

I've read MC3 updates to 1.52 not 1.50, can anyone confirm ?

**crowba** · 06-29-2005, 02:51 PM

no, 1.50
