Rumor: PSP Firmware 3.50 Will Run New Games at 333mhz
Currently, official Sony firmware runs the PSP's CPU at 266mhz, most likely to preserve precious battery life. However, QJ.NET says that their "insider" at Sony has informed them that the 3.50 firmware update allows commerial games to use the PSP's full 333mhz. While they did not say whether it would affect all games, old and new, or be restricted games to games requiring 3.50 or later, PSP Fanboy's Andrew Yoon did
suggest that this will only apply to the latter. Homebrew developers have been creating software that bypasses this restriction for some time now, but if this is true then let's hope that Sony has a heftier battery on the way to make up for the shorter life. Without an offical statement from Sony, this one will have to fall into the rumor category.
