Sony PSP 5.02 Firmware Update Unleashed
Console Games, Gadgets, Hardware, Software, Sony, Video Games November 21st, 2008
I can remember installing the Japanese version of the 2.0 firmware in order to get access to the web browser on my PSP way back in July 2005. Released on November 20th and now at version 5.02, a rapid update from 5.0/5.01 adds just a few features mostly around updating the Playstation store experience and a couple of other PSP-3001 series specific options.
Too bad I’m sticking with my PSP-2001 “slim” for now. Read more at the Playstation.com website.

what will happen if i updated my psp version into 5.02 ??? i mean is there any changes will happen and make my psp better ???

“Better” is subjective. So far, it’s just added functionality around the Playstation Store. If you were at 5.x already, you have most of what the fuss was about. And if you’re heavy into homebrew, I’d say wait.

when i install psp 5.02 its looks fine, but i can`t play downloaded games..

That’s because you need the DarkAlex series of firmware for “those types” of games.

For clarification, the 5.02 firmware is for people that actually buy the games. If you want to download games that don’t come from the PlayStation Online Store… then seek out the home brew solutions.
Google will be your friend

how do watch movies you downloaded from the browser
November 30th, 2008 at 2:31 am
Out of habit, I’ve downloaded movies from the computer, used a proper converter for it - PSP Video 9 was my favorite - and then moved it over from the desktop to the PSP via USB. Not exactly the most “friendly” way, but all conversions work that way. Leaving it up to Google Video or other sites - most zip them up anyway - just didn’t work out for me… ever.

what sites do you use for the videos?
December 12th, 2008 at 9:06 am
to download free videos go to videofindr.com or PSPsex.net
December 19th, 2008 at 5:41 am
dude pspsex.net is the best! if you download videos through your psp’s browser then i strongly recommend that you check it out.

December 22nd, 2008 at 5:27 am
if you download the 5.02 version, does it become a psp 3000
December 22nd, 2008 at 5:34 am
Q.Perf… doubtful there will be a Home or Friends for PSP.
Amrit… no. If you have a PSP 2000, that’s the firmware it will remain. Same if you have a PSP 3000, et al. Your screen will stay the same.

January 2nd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
You’d have to find a way to downgrade. I’m seriously not having as many problems as some of you seem to be.
January 2nd, 2009 at 9:02 pm

January 2nd, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Ah, ok. I have no clue. I’ve stopped using custom firmware a while back.
January 2nd, 2009 at 9:08 pm

January 3rd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
how do i delete the update 5.02 that i just installed? im so dumb
January 3rd, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Do you mean uninstall to change the version or just delete the download after you’ve installed it? If it’s the latter, you just go to your Game icon in the crossbar, scroll down to the Memory Stick, highlight the 5.02 downloaded update, and then hit triangle, then choose delete.
If you want to downgrade or do any of the custom firmware stuff, I seriously can’t help you there.
January 4th, 2009 at 5:20 am
for all the people who are having problems with the firmware, or want to get cfw, go to http://www.pspiso.com and go to the tutorial section there. That site should help u all out alot. i hope this helps
