06-21-2007, 06:42 PM This is very interesting.. Sony taking a leap into the darkside? I guess this is good for the people that are also on v3.50 in a way.. what do you thinkQuoted from QJ:
Unshackled: PSP firmware 3.50 allows official games to hit 333MHz
More power to portable gaming. We've just picked up word via an insider that among the updates that PSP firmware 3.50 carries, one important feature that's apparently been unlisted is that this latest fw release will finally allow commercial games to run at the PSP's full 333mhz CPU speed.
Prior to this, all UMD games for the PSP have been restricted to just 266 MHz - roughly 80% of the portable console's full power.
And while homebrew applications (that means you, intrepid coders!) have already been unlocking this feature for some time now, this move will provide new-found benefits for official UMD games: accelerated frame rates and game load timesare definitely at the top of our wish list, although we'll just have to wait and see if this is indeed the case. Aside from the hopeful speed boost, we're just hoping Sony's also got something planned for the increased power usage expected from turning the proverbial limiter off on the PSP - do we see a new battery in the works?
That aside, the company has yet to give an official statement on this new feature, and whether this unlocked CPU speed is dedicated to post-3.50 UMD games, or will affect past titles as well. Stay tuned for updates on this hot news.

06-21-2007, 07:19 PM Wow, a reason to update my firmware.
06-21-2007, 07:21 PM Not Necessarily, you will lose all homebrew/gameplay capabilities. This is a article about Sony taking a leap into the darkside and having the v3.50 OFFICIAL running games overclocked.. digg it if you want
06-22-2007, 01:59 AM ....Cant Custom FW do the same thing.
Change the setting in recovery menu to run 333mhz. Or does that only apply to emulators and not UMD games.
06-22-2007, 07:36 AM The point is that official firmware couldn't do that at all until now.Originally Posted by Lone Wolf VZ
06-22-2007, 02:22 PM you are correctI read this and I was like WOW! Sony steps it up to compete with the Dark Side
06-22-2007, 05:52 PM Did they tell anyone before this "update" that the stock psp only runs at 266mhz?
06-22-2007, 11:07 PM yeah, It was known. I think Its in the specifications of the system in the owners manual. well at least I knew it was running 266
