UMD's starting to require firmware 2.81
As you may already know know (just by reading the title), UMD's are now
starting to require firmware 2.81, and many titles in the future will
likely be the same. Over at
PSPupdates , they have said that
Cabela's African Safari
is one of the first to require this firmware. It has been reported that
the game will not run on anything lower than 2.81, and it's not DevHook
friendly either. Another game,
Star Trek: Tactical Assault,
also requires 2.81, and won't work with DevHook. A lot of you may be
wondering why DevHook would help run the UMD anyways. Apparently
DevHook v0.46 has had no problem running many 2.80+ UMDs, but there's
been a recent change to the PRX modules, which now seem to be more
2.81-specific. Hopefully DevHook will be updated soon, so all the 1.50
users can play future releases.
