Question

Do you need internet access to update your psp firmware is there any other way if you do need it?

Answer 1

You can download the update file from the playstation website and transfer it to your psp's memory card and update that way.

Answer 2

Even if you don't have internet, you probably know someone that does, or can find free access at a a library. Download the firmware onto flash memory and transfer it to the PSP that way.
