First Game To Require 3.42 out?
 

Well that was fast. According to internet reports, it seems the first PS3 game, F1 2010, requires a firmware update of 3.42 to play. If you attempt to decline firmware update then you are returned back to the XMB. Of course playing around with the dumps file (param.sfo?) SHOULD allow us to bypass the firmware restriction.

I have no doubt people will find a way to play 3.42 games on 3.41 or lower. It's not like 3.42 really added any features

I hope this now drives the chase to crack 3.42, seeing as I now find myself updated! But this is a very selfish attitude, and very bad of me.

One thing I find unbelievable is how quickly this has been taken to market. If genuine, this means the image was built, tested and manufactured extremely rapidly.

Might not be a 100% true as no one besides one guy has confirmed this. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if this is true or not....

I doubt anyone will work on 3.42. 3.50 is out tonight in my region I believe so Your hope lies there.

It would be almost impossible to press all the games with the 3.42 firmware and release the game on time.
There is one option, that the firmware is an old version of the 3.42 and the jailbreak killer one is a mod of that version.
But there is nothing solid on that yet...

Agreeing with this. All of the sudden Sony is releasing quite a few FW updates, Devs will just wait until that slows down.

There could be 2 versions of 3.42... The one the game would have would possibly not contain the patch for the exploit, which would be great for us, but it wouldn't really matter since 3.50 is coming... Maybe everything is already planned >.<

Its a deadly game of cat and also cat.

OMG, cars? Updating now!!!
