As announced last week at Comic Con, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has officially released Firmware v2.80 for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). This update comes with a variety of new features making the PSP easier to use and giving it more functionality. The updates main features include the ability to download videos through the RSS Channel and place media into new easy-to-access folders.
PSP Firmware v2.80 Features:
- Download video and image content under [RSS Channel].
- Register devices via a wireless LAN access point under [LocationFree Player].
- Play AAC files with file extension .3gp under [Music].
- Play content saved in [MUSIC], [PICTURE], and [VIDEO] folders on a Memory Stick.
The RSS Channel was originally introduced in v2.60, but was limited to only audio files. With this update, video and photo files will be recognized and displayed in the RSS Channel. Although new functionality has been offered, this update unfortunately does not offer streaming video content through the RSS Channel similarly to how the audio works. However it does allows saving videos and pictures to your Memory Stick.
The other important implementation is the new folder layout. The PSP no longer requires media files with special names if they are placed into the “MUSIC”, “PICTURE”, or “VIDEO” folders respectively. These folders are to be placed in the main directory of the PSP. Also note that previous arrangements of files will still function as usual. This feature will make it easier for newbie as well as all PSP users to organize their media.

i still cant figure this thing out… ive put them in all the files i can find on the psp(even the hiden ones) but it never works. if i download them from a website onto the psp it still dont work but as soon as i plug it into the computer i can watch it, but only on the computer not the psp.i tried emailing sony but got no reply…grrr
i have 3.40 firmware do you guys think flash games would work on it
do you have to be online to play flash games
no you do not. if you download the .swf flash file on your computer first and place it on your memory card you should be fine. just open your browser and open the file on your card and it should work just fine.
yea ussually that works but you can play some games offline if you dont close the browser

ok guys the answer at last… my god am i stupid. when you plug the psp into your PC a little box pops up and ask you how you want to view the psp click on “view using folders”( if the box doesnt pop up go to “my computer” and open the drive) dont open any of the sub-folders, right click(or on mack “cntrl-click”) and go to “new”, “folder” name this folder ” VIDEO ” (minus the quotes) and place any mp4 or other compatable file.
so for those of you sitting there going WTF IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT
in the root folder of the “E DRIVE” or watever it is on your computer right click(or on mack “cntrl-click”) and go to “new”, “folder” name this folder ” VIDEO ” (minus the quotes) and place any mp4 or other compatable file.
