PSP firmware 3.95 adds minor remote play features

by Kyle Orland on Apr 8th 2008 11:58AM

Attention, people who enjoy playing console games on a portable system via a wireless internet connection: We have important news for both of you! The new PSP firmware version 3.95 offers two minor tweaks to enhance your remote playing experience.

Remote players can now remap the PSP's limited button layout to more usefully replicate the DualShock when playing PSOne games. The new firmware also allows players to stop remote play without turning off the PS3, allowing any background downloads to continue unabated. While these new tweaks aren't exactly revolutionary, it's always nice to see a company continuing to support product features well after their release.

This doesn't have anything to do with the post, but has anyone else noticed who all the idiots that would freak out if they got the first post are gone? What happened? They were like all here last week...

...FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#$@#$#@$#@

*how

NO.

I hate you, Curtis.

They grew up and moved on...

:-p

I hate you to ssuk, although I'm not sure why.

Regrettably, your attempt to insult "FIRST POST!!!" people is clumsy enough to be as annoying.**

**assuming you aren't one yourself, but were too ashamed to come out plainly

"Regrettably, your attempt to insult "FIRST POST!!!" people is clumsy enough to be as annoying"

You obviously read my post wrong then. Where in it was I trying to insult them? I just asked where they had all gone. Lern 2 troll lolz.

"Lern 2 troll lolz."

No.

"No."

That's the best you can come up with? Better luck next time.

We have important news for both of you!

Zing!!!!

I don't understand... You don't have to turn your PS3 off to stop play. Just press the home button on your PSP and choose quit remote play.

I wish I could find my PSP :(

Dunno. I thought that myself, but maybe it didn't work for background processes. I always left my connection in a folding process.

Unfortunately, Remote Find hasn't been implemented yet.
But yeah, I'm a little confused there--I have never had to turn off the PS3 to stop remote play.

I wish i could find my ps3

Remote Play rules. One of the PS3/PSP's best features.

agreed, I do wish they would roll these out a little less frequently. Between the PSP and the PS3, I spend 50% of my gaming time downloading and installing firmware updates. I shouldnt complain though, I would rather have them do it this way then twice a year.

So you spend what, 15 min a month playing games?

I lol'd a little.

i never understood why the PSP didn't have a 2nd nub like the dualshock has 2 analog sticks.

supposedly it would be hard to hold and play, which i think is bullshit.

we all would prefer 2 analog sticks versus 1, but that didnt stop the N64, Dreamcast, and a bunch of other systems to produce amazing gameplay.

but you know what i do? i bought a stick-on dpad to use over the face buttons. it works beautifully with FPS online gameplay, even though the face buttons are digital. hell you could even stick a coin on.

I have a PSPhat and bought it early on because of all of the promises that they made such as the remote-play which sounded EXTREMELY interesting at the time. I held out for a while, but they took so long to deliver on them that I bought a 360 instead of a PS3. At this point, I just really don't even care about any features beyond the games like God of War and Syphon Filter.

I don't even care for them 2 games :)

Remote Play sounds good on paper but has been so poorly implemented.

Mills, you have a 360.. we all know that. Don't speak on things you don't know *squat* about.

I love remote play! Such a cool feature to be away on a trip and yet have access to my games, and especially my pictures and music, of which I have far to many to store on a memory stick.
