I hope they improve the video playback. The XMB is tricky about formats (files) and it should upscale DVDs... I think they already said the ps3 would definitely upscale dvd somedays. What I don't get is why video files are shown at HD (maybe there's no picture enhancement, but the output resolution doesn't change) and DVDs need the crappy SD output.

Fantastic thread :) Will you be keeping the various firmware change logs in the post, just putting the new change log in the post, or will you wipe the post and put the newest changelog in there?

I think we should just wipe the older firmwares when a new one comes around - maybe keep a link to the old one..

Thing is Sony *will* erase the older firmware changelogs, hence why I asked.

This is good to know but I am sticking with the original firmware.

Too many of my friends got burned by updating their PSPs to new firmware and then when they finally figured out how to hack them they were stuck because of brand new firmware.

Well have fun waiting until custom firmware appears on PS3 :D

Youre obligated to update your firmware if you want to play the newest games - the updates come with the games

Besides, the newer PSP firmwares will be downgradeable some time in the future

It's much easier for them to force updates on the PS3, given the "always online" nature of it. Obviously if yours is not always connected, then it's fine. But I'm sure you would connect your PS3 to the internet at some point, maybe for PS Store, which is when they'll lock you out of all the online stuff until you update.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
