IF YOU UPGRADE TO THIS FIRMWARE VERSION YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY HOMEBREW. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE ONCE YOU HAVE UPGRADED TO 2.50, SO YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH THIS FIRMWARE VERSION.

This is the 2.50 firmware for PSP. To upgrade from a lower firmware version to this version, unzip the file and place the included EBOOT.PBP file on the memorystick at this location: MS:PSPGAMEUPDATEEBOOT.PBP

The update is then started from the Game --> Memory Stick menu item.

Features in this firmware version include:

– [RSS Channel] has been added as a feature under [Network].

– [Simplified Chinese (GB18030)] and [Tradition Chinese (Big5)] have been added as options to [Encoding] under [View] in the [Internet Browser] menu bar. (Characters may be indistinct in some cases when these encoding options are selected.)

– [Volume Adjustment] has been added as a feature to [LocationFree Player].

– You can now download video data that supports copyright protection using the [Internet Browser].

– 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.
