EDIT: Nevermind

davepoobond · (07-23-2007, 08:39 AM)

you can insert the psp into the ps3's hard drive now and "it" will work.

PjotrStroganov · (07-23-2007, 08:39 AM)

100% Xbox emulation!!!

MickeyKnox · (07-23-2007, 08:40 AM)

Either ingame XMB or custom backgrounds or both.

ram · (07-23-2007, 08:41 AM)

looks more like custom backgrounds

Awesome, that hadn't worked for me before. Frustrating.

wallpaper!
yes!

Jonnyram · (07-23-2007, 08:42 AM)

Wow, I can finally upconvert my CD audio to 176.4kHz. I was waiting for that.

Yes! I asked for this yesterday (and over the last month).

Crisis · (07-23-2007, 08:44 AM)

That looks like in-game XMB to me.

Wollan · (07-23-2007, 08:44 AM)

That icon means theme on the PSP so I doubt that is ingame xmb but rather a photo of Fl0w used as a background.

MickeyKnox · (07-23-2007, 08:45 AM)

Oh god no....

what hath Kittonwy wrought?

can't you make wallpaper with flow? i dont have it, so i dont know for sure

dralla · (07-23-2007, 08:45 AM)

They need either subfolder's or another icon to seperate game demo's/PSN games

and if you can have animated background like that flow, i'll fap

Right, but it seems odd that they would use a background of a game to demonstrate wallpaper, no?

Wollan · (07-23-2007, 08:46 AM)

According to Google Translation, it is XMB backgrounds and font.

It can modify the background and the indicatory font of XMB

What else would SCE use? They probably don't have the rights to demo wallpapers of Jessica Biel.

Vyse The Legend · (07-23-2007, 08:49 AM)

Also, you can now change the video output while playing PS1 and PS2 games, it seems.

'・ディスクのオプションメニューに「ディスク取り出し」を追加'

Wow sign me up for some disk-ejecting FUN

Why are there so many sad emoticons?

Crisis · (07-23-2007, 08:49 AM)

Google Translated:

　As for the function which is mounted with the update of PS3, the cross media bar (XMB) the picture is indicated in the background, the indicatory font is modified in regard to “customization of the wallpaper/the indicatory font”, “input of picture letter” at the time of message compilation to the friend and Internet browser using the USB keyboard of marketing, letter is input “inline letter input with Internet browser” and improves the playback quality of music CD directly “rise converting output of music CD” and so on.
You can customize the wallpaper on your PS3. I personally hope you can just change the theme of the XMB as well. It also adds emoticons for messages to your friends. Details a few changes for playback of music CD's and keyboard input as well.
　Other modification point is as follows.

<Modification point of PS3 system software version 1.90>

-Rearranging the game which is retained in the hard disk is possible Move games in XMB up and down. Possibly in other folders?

-In the option menu of the disk “the disk it removes and” adds You can eject games, CD's and movies from XMB by pressing triangle, and selecting "Eject Disk"

-At the time of idea contest modification of file and folder “folder classification” selective possibility Not very sure about this. It seems like you can change the way your folders are classified, but that still isn't informative.

-“BD 1080p 24Hz output (HDMI)” of “BD/DVD setting” with “entrance” selective possibility It reads like you can force 24hz output for Blu-Ray over HDMI.

-At music CD output frequency” of “music setting” ““44.1/88.2/176.4kHz” selective possibility You can change the frequency of music to either 44.1, 88.2, or 176.4 kHz

-With bit mapping” of “music setting” ““type 2” selective possibility Select Type 2 bitmaping for SACD?

Operation “picture quality adjustment” of panel in “image audio setting” modification Pertains to those screens that we saw the other day. It allows you to change the PS3 video settings in-game.

-Is retained in the hard disk of [memorisuteitsuku] and the digital video camera animated picture of the AVCHD type which reproducible From what I understand, you can make those little animated icons for digital video that you have on a memory stick (that are in AVCHD format), and those animated icons will be retained the next time you plug it in.

-Record in the media and the time of animated picture file playback on the hard disk, “slow (it returns)” with, “scene to reset”, operational Sounds like animated .gif support. Mike Works' Thriller will be the first one I watch on it.

-While the playing of PS and PS2 standard software, output setting modification possibility Allows you to change the output settings while you're playing PS one and PS2 games, like the upscaling options and smoothing

“Ahead linking adding addition to the book mark” in “the file” menu of [intanetsutoburauza] Adds bookmark function in the file menu of the web browser

-Adding “browser security” to “the tool” of [intanetsutoburauza] This is some kind of browser security function that's found in the tool section of the web browser. It sounds like a private browsing mode for the PS3 browser. (Basically, porn mode.)

-When AV indicating [abata] in the kyat, reacting to sound, it reaches the point where [abata] moves No idea

　Furthermore, rise converting output of music CD is connected, PS3 and the audio equipment being the HDMI cable or the optical digital cable, at the same time, it is necessary also for the audio equipment to correspond to the sampling frequency of 88.2kHz or 176.4kHz.

　With the system software version 3.52 of PSP, function in order to play is strengthened PLAYSTATION Network title.f

Blimblim · (07-23-2007, 08:50 AM)

Can someone tell me what it says about 1080p/24? My Samsung TV would love to have an option to force this :)

davepoobond · (07-23-2007, 08:53 AM)

doesn't seem like somethin i'm gonna get much use out of..

i like the PS3's background for some reason better than the PSP's...

kaleii · (07-23-2007, 08:53 AM)

Changing fonts in the XMB can only be done in the Japanese version of 1.90. Us westerners will have to wait for a future version.

When it arrives I'm gonna go "Lucida Console" all the way.

spwolf · (07-23-2007, 08:54 AM)

these guys never stop, do they?

CSSer · (07-23-2007, 08:54 AM)

w00t backgrounds. The only thing left I want is in game messaging/in game music overlay; everything else is just gravy.

I think it was better off being in Japanese, because I still don't understand a lot of this

Can't wait to play around with these new settings though.

I really hope it's included but I think all that means is ability to change scaling and filtering options while in game, kind of like how you can mess with visual settings when playing back a DVD.
