lol?

erm, thats a bit of a pain but shouldnt be too much of a problem. Can you not just get one of those multi volt adapters for ~£5 from argos? You can change the voltage to lots of different ones and 5V should be on there and you get loads of adapters to fit different sized holes too.

Bit more than a fiver but it will be worth it.

Upon completion of preparing, we will announce update information for the other countries/areas customers via SCE Group Web Site or other channels . For these customers who obtained PSP® in the other countries/areas, please DO NOT update PSP® through this web site. There are no guarantee of proper operation of the other PSP®."

You won't void your warranty, but it's not cool to do so in Sony's opinion. ;-)

very nice

i wont update. i was stupid enough to ruin my 1.5 with 2.6 and im not about to blow the glimmer of hope that is the gta exploit.

Reply 68

GTA exploit DOES NOT work on 2.7.
Flash is OK - all flash movies ive tried work, flash games i havent tried. Also there is a loco roco game... http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/locoroco/dl/trial_dl.html

It's amazing. Sony is finally allowing game demos to be playable from the memory with their consent. I hope sony releases more game demos like loco roco.

One more thing the internet browser is MUCH faster.

yep

obviously when the ps1 emu comes out i will upgrade

altho if sony (in true sony style) riddle the games with DRM that cripples your ability to use them, store them etc. then i will think twice

Ive just updated to 2.70, is there ever going to be any english game downloads for the PSP?

Also, how the hell do you get WMA and Flash to work. I keep trying using the college network, but it says something about a DNAS error, or DNAS timeout :frown:
