The PSP Show #12 - Roms, Firmwares and Demos.
(MP3 9.3 mb 13 minutes 29 seconds) LISTEN HERE
This edition of The PSP Show features…
- My thoughts on the announcement of the Epsilon Bios firmware for the still unconfirmed Undiluted Platinum PSP Mod-Chip
- What are Sony up to with the 2.71 firmware. I think it’s another small step towards the massive 3.0 firmware that will include the PSOne emulation. Why not use 17 million shipped PSP units as your unofficial beta testers?
- If you thought Loco Roco and Kazou demos were the only official PSP demos out there… think again. With official demos of Lemmings, Burnout Legends, Archer Macleans Mercury, Medievil Resurrection, TOCA RaceDriver 2, Virtua Tennis and Wipeout Pure in my PSP-belt, I ask if it isn’t time Sony put them all to work as soon as possible?
Don’t forget you can listen on your PSP by going to the PSP web browser, and entering psp.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed as the URL - you’ll be asked if you want to add the show to your RSS channel. Say ‘yes.’

I have recently downloaded the demo, LocoRoco, onto my PSP. I think its really good, but i cant get past the bit with lyke 4 mini trampalinely thingys. (bouncy things) I keep getting stuck onto the wall.
Anyway, i think its a really good idea that you can download demos off the browser instead of using a USB cable. It saves loads of hastle. Oh yeah, and if anyone knows any more demos i can download please could you tell me? (Email:ml35q@hotmail.co.uk)
Im loving your Podcasts. My fave one is episode #11.

On this episode you said that sony found a possible way to run homebrew on the firmware 2.70. Do you know how if you do could you please tell me how
June 8th, 2006 at 7:19 am
Firstly thank yuo very much for listening and commenting. Re the 2.71 and homebrew… No. I said that the conspiracy theorists will be jumping to the conclusion that *SONY* found a flaw. Slightly different arguement…

i upgraded my psp to 2.71 it says you can download games on the psp browser i tryed it it doesnt work becouse it says PSP/Common/, is that what it is apost to say?

If you want to get the Loco Roco demo, just visit locorocodemo.com on your psp browser, follow the on screen directions, and the demo should auto install on your PSP. By the way Ewan great show. Your theories are pretty well thought out and I agree with them fully. Keep up the good work. By the way, I’m coming to London next week for a visit to the family and just wanted to know where I can get an Issue of the PSP Official Guidebook. I want a bit of demo action as well.
