PS3 Firmware 1.70 Released

Posted by greg on April 19, 2007

Sony is up to something… Those sly foxes, we gotta keep an eye on ‘em…

Earlier in the evening Sony released PSP firmware 3.40. Now, perhaps even at, or around the same time, PS3 firmware 1.70 hit Network Update via the PS3 console.

This news tidbit actually derives from Mr. Knockout, who was kind enough to enlighten me about the firmware update availability. After reading the email, I immediately exited Folding@Home and checked; lone and behold, an update is available — 1.70! Thanks for the tip, dude. :)

Of course the official PlayStation website is behind; however, the main revised 1.70 features are:

  • Enabled PSOne download games to play on the PS3
  • Enabled PSOne game saves to be used on the PSP
  • Enabled rumble function on accessories for PS1 and PS2

As you can see for yourself, this is quite an update for any avid PlayStation gamer. The choice is yours — the blue pill, or the red pill — select wisely, my friend.

on my ps3 i play a few games till im sick of them then ebay them and buy a couple more, my psp’s got oe3.3 so i can play to my hearts content on that.
The problem with loaders is you just end up being a games tryer and not a player.

Wayne Kerr I completely agree with you… I have 270+ PsP backups and I just test them.. I was once an enthusiastic RpG’er and Ive become a transient game tester… I recently modded my Ps2 and I have 100+ backups and all I’ve played with passion are God of War 2 and Shadow of the Collossus.. Once I beat them my ps2 has been catching dust… LOl….. Dont get me wrong I love Backups.. But they take away the ferventness of a newly opened game…….

I very much agree with that last comment by Wayne Car. and he certaintly is a wayne car. But it’s true.. I have been pirating since 1983 and seriously there so many games that you just don’t sit down and play em you just start playing the first level and then your download finishes for another game and your onto that.. and you also spend a lot of time hooking up with these downloads.. so maybe the loader aint such a gr8 thing afterall.. just buy the sweetest games and leave the rest behind.

GOOD ON YA WAYNE. CAR.

Now am I supposed to update? ISOloader is nowhere to be found yet so I guess I should update…

Dude i would forget about the iso loader, if it ever comes out there will be a fix to revert back to an update that worked for it. Either that or just save your updates on your pc first.

Where is the fix for transferring music to my PS3? How about being able to browse my network? C’mon Sony hook a brother up man! This isnt all that great of an update.

*yawn*. What about addressing useful things for the PS3 like 1080p/24 output, better format and codec support, upscaling DVDs etc.

2007-04-19 17:01:26

i’m not sure if i buy this. Sure, they’re going to probably launch a 1.70 update, but with no confirmed story, i can’t really believe it.

 
Comment by Jason
2007-04-19 17:16:03

It’s real, just updated and can confirm the story replicates what comes up as changed. I.e. big fscking deal, but good for retro gamers I suppose.

They still haven’t fixed the audio limitations, and dts files are still not passed through to the receiver, the shit fscks it up by converting to stereo garbage.

And I HATE they way you cannot long on until you do the update. Grrrr.

it seem that with version 1.70 using proxy server to install game from pc will no longer work. it will give you error while installing. but with 1.60 it was fine. should have install all the game first then upgrade. this suck.

Comment by EastMCDukes
2007-04-20 13:36:02

Proxy Server does work with 1.70. You just need to send the download to the background.

My PS3 is still 1.50 and i’m waiting ISO Loader but how long yet?????

sorry, but you people waiting for the loader will be waiting a looooooong time. Sony have got the “g0ds” on the run this time. Paracocks will never get a loader working and even if they did, the next update would destroy all the work , and you’d miss the latest new additions to the firmware from Sony if you decided not to update. Just update to 1.7 and use the PS3 as it was meant to be.

I had 2 psp, one of them 1.50 and another with OE. Fortunately, the only game I played for than 5 minutes was the time before the memstick swap occured. Since after, I haven’t played a damn single level of any games. I broke them both, I completely lost interest in it cause of loaders..its just too much.

It is out and now i’m updating
I’ve updated too far and figure, it’s gonna waste B-D’s to back up anyways at this point, so I’m updating…
The PSP makes more sense with easier dgs and cfws and the ability to load it up off the stick

Started installing the update via the network option and it has now been stuck at 99% for 2 hours ….Sony has fucked up my machine!!! I now have a £400 brick, ta very much Sony you pricks!!!!

I’m downloading now.
I have a PSP with 1.50 FW running the OE FW but as someone mentioned before, you get the iso’s but then you rarely play most of them.
So with PS3 I’d rather make this one legit and enjoy the few games i’ll be able to buy. Life is to short to try and get all iso’s. The gotta catch em all mentality is draining from me.

Good luck to the ISO loader guys though.

THE ONLY THING I WANNA SAY ABOUT THE LOADER IS: PARACOCKS PROMISED A VISTA CRACK… MANY MONTHS PAST BUT NOW HERE I SIT WITH A FULLY CRACKED VERSION OF VISTA THAT WORKS PERFECTLY… YOU CAN’T EXPECT EM TO DO IT OVERNIGHT BUT WHAT PARACOCKS PROMISES PARACOCKS DELIVERS THEY HAVE BEEN SINCE AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER 1983+

PARACOCKS FOREVER.

YOU MUST READ MY LITTLE DILEMA…

I bought my brand new PS3 last week on Tuesday 17th and updated to 1.60 and everything was running fine, no issues. Upgraded to Firmware 1.70 on Friday night just to realize my PS3 was useless the next morning: It should just freeze while doing anything, it also started turning off by itself and giving me a flashing red light. I called Sony Support and told them about the issue. They had me trying different power outlet, etc and no dice. They’re now sending me a pre-paid shipping box to return my console and I was told I will receive a new one once they get mines. Anyone else having any issues after upgrading?

flashing red light? sounds like you confused your PS3 with an Xbox 360.

AAHHA you broke your ps3 HAHAHA sucked in

I think I know the cause to this.. you also own a xbox 360 and your ps3 knows that your a homosexual and refuses to work.

i was on psp firmware 303 oe c and ps3 firmware 1.5 and i could conect both consoles to gather with wifi to watch movies and play mp3’s,but i couldnt play games online with my ps3.so i updated my ps3 to 1.70so that i could go online.it worked but my psp wont conect any more and i need to register them with each other now.so i updated my psp to 3.40 oe a and every thing is working fine but iv not had chance yet to see if all my psp games work properly,and i dont think ill chance custom themes on it just yet maybe in 1 or 2 more revisions of custom firmware

Comment by Ghost Haven

No…you have to have a PS2/PS3 Controller adapter which you hook up to your PS2 controller. The SIXAXIS doesn’t have rumble support.
