UPGRADING THE OPERATING SYSTEM OF YOUR PSP
IMPORTANT. SUMS software is stored locally on the memory stick of the PSP - so you do not have to connect to the internet when you are using SUMS.
You should only be reading this page because
your operating system version is older
than 2.70 and you need to upgrade it. For further information on how to find out the version
of the PSP operating system you have, go to the 'Getting
started' page of this site.
WARNING. If you upgrade
your operating system it may prevent you running so called 'Home
Brew' versions of software. Please be sure to check this for yourself
on the official Sony websites (this is NOT an official Sony website).
Do not upgrade unless you are fully informed.
DISCLAIMER. Things
can go wrong when upgrading your PSP. This is merely an information
site that helps you understand one way to undertake the process.
You are the one pressing the buttons though, so be careful to read
the official Sony sites to get the full background information before
beginning. We accept no financial or other responsibility.
STEP 1. Find NETWORK
UPDATE on the top level menu of your PSP, then press
enter.
You will probably see a message "YOU MUST CREATE A
NETWORK CONNECTION TO CONTINUE." If you already have
a network connection setup, then connect. If not, go to the page
on this website called 'Connecting
your PSP to the internet'.
STEP 2. Once you have a connection, you will see
a message telling you that a file is being downloaded onto your
memory card. This can take anywhere from 1 to 20 minutes, depending
upon connection speed.
Once the file is downloaded, another instruction tells you how
to run it. As soon as this is done, and you accept the terms and
conditions, your system restarts - but is now running the new firmware
version - probably 3.11 A final message tells you that you can now
delete the downloaded file from your memory card.
STEP 3. You can now follow the next step in preparing
your PSP to run SUMS online software - probably 'Enabling
Flash on your PSP'. |
