Homebrew developer Mathieulh has reported that after a lot of tinkering around with the new official firmware for the Sony PlayStation Portable, both he and Dark AleX have found that PSP firmwares 3.73 and 3.72 are pretty much identical.

According to Mathieulh, the only changes they’ve uncovered so far are the module versions and the index.dat/version.txt file that displays the firmware version. Mathieulh also says that there’s over 20 different bytes worth of changes to lflash_fatfmt. The kernel and csh modules as well as the rco files remain unchanged.

Both Mathieulh and Dark AleX are still examining the recently-released PSP firmware 3.73 just so they don’t miss anything, but Mathieulh says that it looks like the firmware “does not need ANY patches to be modified/updated in any way to run a custom firmware.”
