Sony has released the latest Firmware updates for its PlayStation Portable console on the official Japanese and North American PlayStation sites. This comes after the 2.0 update was released just to fix a security flaw in 2.00 that allowed users to run some unauthorized "homebrew" code - eventually leading to the release of a working downgrader for the PSP.
This update however has added some features to the PSP and probably will have made it even more hard for hackers to find ways to run code on the device. Here is the changelog...
