yup, it has successfully updated from 3.80 M33-2 to M33-4 via the network update

a great feature that saves all the hassle

Although I have to warned you people that firmware 3.80 M33-4 will cause noticeable lagging in fast-paced games like Ridge Racer 2 etc. I wish i didn't move from 3.71 didn't I. Well, no turning back, I guess although there's this pandora thing which I can't comprehend.

My advise to fellow LYN is to hold-on for a while at 3.71 M33-4, until they release fix for the game-lag due to memory stick access thingy.

Somehow I wish I did not move from 3.71M33-4. The firmware 3.80M33-4 cause noticeable lagging in my Ridge racer 2 etc. Other than that It's ok.

After reading your post, I straight tested on my games because I have not played any of my racing games since I updated my firmware yesterday. smile.gif
I tested on Ridge Racer, it works flawlessly for me, no lagging for mine. Maybe mine is the first edition of RR not RR2. hmm.gif Then, I switched on to Sega Rally, another racing games, no problem too. smile.gif

Maybe others can try on theirs? I am also using 3.80 M33-4 by the way. smile.gif

Please do try Ridge Racer 2, you'll notice a 1-2 second lag and Wipeout Pulse 1-2 frame unrendered. I don't want to mention GTA. But I think fix is on the way, so no biggie.

4 Gigs formatted via PSP. So is that FAT 32 or FAT16. Sorry to say I do not have one of those memory stick reader/writer to use PC to format.

yup.. if 4gig.. sure u'll face the lag prob.. so just format ur memory stick to FAT16 format..  then, u can play what ever game as smooth as a silk.. huhu..

this is the guide  thumbup.gif

How to format specifying filesystem
1. Go to Start Menu -> Run...
2. Type 'cmd' without quotes
3. At command prompt, type:
'format x: /q /fs:FAT' (without quotes, this is for FAT16 filesystem)
'format x: /q /fs:FAT32' (without quotes, this is for FAT32 filesystem)
(change x to your MS drive)

If asks for a Force Dismount, choose yes.
If it warns you about compatibility problems on FAT16, just ignore it.
If it asks for a Volume Label, just type anything or none at all.

gudluck.. smile.gif

Okie, I'll give this a whirl tonite. Have to copy all the folders inside the Memstick right, right ? After formatting, then copy everything back as it is, yes ?

Thanks for the guide.

ok.. my pleasure... sharing is caring right.. huhu..

Sure. The strangest thing is yesterday on firmware 3.71 m33-4 there's no lagging in Ridge Racer 2. It's only after firmware upgrade 3.80M33-4 that this problem start. Although I have been on FAT32 since I bought the PSP last week. Well, this is minor thing. let's focus on other stuff like SKYPE, MSN and Yahoo messenger on PSP.

Now I'm feeling guilty already bringing up the lag for 3.80 firmware. But do not get paranoid people because I'm sure there will be fix and solution for this. Numerous users worldwide also has reporting the slight slow-down. So just wait a little bit.
