PSP Official Firmware 6.38 Released: Do Not Update/Blocks Hacks


Sony pushes out a new update for the PSP. This firmware is known to block CFW and or HEN Loaders. This is just another bullshit "system software stability update". Luckily, Signed homebrews still are working. We had already reported Sony PSP Firmware 6.39 was released before in Japan with UMD Monster Hunter Portable 3 a while back.. Now Sony What are you doing? Trying to win a battle You already lost?

Changelog (Nothing of Course/Lets Block Hackers):
Since April 12, 2011 is an update to the PSP system software. If you update your PSP system, the system software will be updated to version 6:38, which offers some feature enhancements.

Security (Is this some sort of Joke?)
Has been improved stability of the system software when using certain functions.

Note (No You take Notes Sony) :
The update system software includes all features contained in previous versions.
The new system software retains the settings previously made to the PSP (eg level of parental control).
Depending on the title, you may not be able to play without first updating the PSP system software.
Do not perform updates using data other than official ones provided by Sony Computer Entertainment over a network or on disc by methods other than those described in the product documentation or in this site. If an update is performed using data of different nationalities, different procedure or a PSP system altered or modified, it is possible that the PSP is not working properly and is not able to install the official update data. Such actions may void the PSP system warranty and affect your ability to request warranty services and repair services from Sony Computer Entertainment.
