3.80 update allows remote play of all PSone titles

Posted on December 19th, 2007 at 09:06 EDT

The PSP's firmware update to 3.80 in combination with the PS3's update to 2.10 allows owners of both to play all PS One games via remote play on the PSP. This feature went largely unnoticed, as Sony did not officially announce it through their update page, listing Internet Radio as the primary "new" feature to be included in the latest system update.

Remote play of PS One titles was not officially mentioned in either update but the existence of the new feature had been confirmed.

The new feature rewards those gamers that decided to keep their old PS One titles around the house as they can now play them on their PSP without having to worry about paying extra to download them from the PlayStation Store and then transferring them to their PSP.

w00t. I read you get better gameplay (no lags or disruptions) if you play slower paced games such as rpg's or puzzle games! You may get problems with sports or fighting games?!?! But this is a great feature anywayz!

Excellent feature!  I wonder if they'll be able to make the PS2 games play remote as well.  Why not?  We can already play Lair that way.

This has been a great upgrade.  Looks like sony's kicking it to high gear.  Now they need to put all efforts on pushing out software.

I can do this without 3.80. All you have to do is upgrade the PS3 to 2.10. My PSP is still at 3.72

Cool feature. I played marvel vs capcom and twisted metal 2 which i had bought from the store. This is good in case i run out of memory. But i can also now stream my divx and xvid vids as well. PSP, PS3 great marriage of hardware. Try that Zune.
