Firmware 3.96 included on Hot Shots Golf disc

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 5th 2008 at 12:00PM }

If you absolutely must have the latest PSP firmware, you may want to pick up Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2. The UMD comes packaged with firmware 3.96, although the contents of said firmware are unknown at this time. Considering the small numerical leap from the previous official release (3.95), we're assuming that the new firmware adds no significant new functionality.

We've contacted SCEA for a comment.

[Thanks, Shawn R.!]

I wonder what 4.00 will do ... will we have the PSstore availible directly to our PSPs ?

By the ghost of Uncle Curtis that would be nice.

When I first got my PSP a few months ago I was shocked to learn I had to download games to a PC and transfer them over USB.

THis would be nice, considering I only have Macs...

Good grief, it's about time. Haven't seen an update for over 2 months. If it's just a bunch of crap like expanded PS One titles, I'm gonna be real ticked with SCEA! >:(

Isn't version 4.0 supposed to have divx & xvid support? How much longer will we have to wait for that version to finally come out??

When that day comes is the day my PSP loses it's dusty sheen for a nice, dirty hose down.

Divx / Xvid FTW!

3.95 had many gliches. I think 3.96 includes bugfixes

Cant wait for the next firmware update :D
I think Sony want to make the ps store better, so they're spending more time on that, rather than advertising the system to devs.

My thoughts

Maybe they should freeze firmware updates and focus on nudging 3rd party developers to produce games :) I would much rather have new games then divx/xvid support ( although divx/xvid is cool ).

Ant @ Jun 5th 2008 3:54PM

I agree :)

Pandora Battery F....T.....W!!!!!

gurbinder @ Jun 5th 2008 3:36PM

u fckin idiot, dont start with cfw on the comments section. Usually an huge arguement starts

Not his fault that everyone blames the homebrew community for piracy and not the pirates.

"Oh look a homebrew user, lets all flame him for being a pirate even though he doesn't pirate games". Yes lets start up one of those "discussions". *sarcasm*

Zippon @ Jun 6th 2008 12:07AM

Yeah, Andy! You tell 'em!

It's not like 100% of pirates use CFW......oh, wait.....THEY DO.

Zippon: "It's not like 100% of pirates use CFW......oh, wait.....THEY DO."

Do I really need to point out your argument hinges on a logical fallacy? Let's put it in the form of a categorical syllogism:

1. People use custom firmware.
2. 100% of pirates use custom firmware.
3. Therefore, all people are pirates.

i dont fucking pirate games, not even roms for emulators

the devs work too hard to get cheated like that, i only use homebrew, cause i can watch youtube, use irshell, play homebrew games, use the 333mhz processor for faster and smoother gameplay, and many other things

but NOT for piracy, perhaps i might use it to back up my games, but im not going to post the iso's on torrent sites, the iso's would be for me only
