Does it display everything in english? What appout the differences between the english and jap versions using the circle to confirm? Stuff like that? Is it the same update that will be released in the US? I sort of have a feeling like there might be some reason we wouldnt want to load the jap version, but I have no evidence to back it up? Has anyone loaded it and if so what did you find?

Did you put it in the "UPGRADE OR "UPDATE folder. You should have it in the "UPDATE" folder

The picture quality seems to be worse. It's all blurry now. They used to automatically focus.

In the GAME folder, create a folder called update and put the file there.

From the HOME menu, select MEMORY STICK, then select PSP UPDATE. Press X to start the update.

The update is GREAT, I like the ability to change wallpaper at will and being able to surf the Net is great. There are TONs of wallpapers just waiting for you to download them.
