Is there any information on what firmware will be needed to run FM? I'm after getting used to playing SNES games on the PSP.

I would suspect it will be 1.52

Anyone willing to answer? An official, "Don't know" is probably most like, but even still I'd like to see it.

To be honest I don't know off-hand, its not something which we have to specify ourselves.

Because of this I'd expect the answer to be 'along the lines of that required by any other game released today' (because I presume Sony does the same for all new games) .....

I will try and find out specifics for you in the next few days.

Your PSP will need to be running the 2.5 firmware for FM Handheld to work I'm afraid.

Will the 2.5 firmware come with the game?

I ask, as some games and UMD films have the required firmware on them so you can upgrade if requird.

retired_lorincole

Judging from other releases, Sony tend to bundle the latest firmware, so it'll probably come with the option to upgrade to the 2.6 firmware.

Sorry to up an old thread, but I just came on here to ask this question.

Thats me out of buying FM I'm afraid, I know its probably out of SI's hands - but im a happy 1.5 user and the features of homebrew mean I wont be upgrading.

Snes / Megadrive > FM Handheld.

I would have loved to have bought the game, but I dont want to lose features like homebrew, emu's and video players like PMPMod that let me stream video to my PSP from my PC.

So you are ruling yourself out of any future PSP games (as the requirements will always be incrasing) to run some crappy emulation. Amazing that some people take this attitude imo

'tis Woodseys decision, at some point in the future he might change his mind, then again perhaps not - 'tis entirely his right imho.
