'''Unknown: Please edit if you know''' Download: [https://archive.org/download/psp_ofw_firmwares/PSP/570.PSAR] (Only PSAR) Initial firmware for PSP Go (TA-91/94)
Initial firmware on very early production PSP 3000 04g and PSP Go models.
 
* Support for PSP 3000 04g model.
This edit was introduced since this firmware was listed at the [[Motherboards]] page but is not mentioned here. This firmware is hypothesized to be a initial firmware since it is the lowest possible firmware for both the documented PSP Go models and there is no EBOOT from either firmware archives:
* Support for PSP Go model.
* [https://darthsternie.net/index.php/psp-firmwares/] (Only PSAR)
* [https://archive.midnightchannel.net/SonyPS/Firmware/index.php?cat=PSP] (No file at all)
Initial firmwares do not have EBOOTs downloadable from Sony either.
