4.01 m33 released - Dark Alex/Team M33 Custom Firmware for PSP Released

[Jesterace]

Dark Alex (http://3e6358ac.linkbucks.com) and Team M33 have just released the 401 PSP Custom Firmware heres details from the readme:


4.01 M33
----------

Instructions: Copy UPDATE folder /PSP/GAME/ and run.
Put the 4.01 sony update as 401.PBP in same folder, or let the program download it for you using a wifi connection.

Changes:
- Bug fix: vshmenu didn't let change camera mode due to camera_plugin using select button.
Fixed, now vsh menu will not be loaded when using the camera.

- Recovery can now be translated, See how below. Translation to spanish is autoincluded.
- Updated the M33 SDK with a new function and sample, and released the psp-packer tool to
compress prx's and PBP's in the ~PSP format.

- The folder of 4.01 and highre homebrew will be GAME4XX so it won't need change on update.

Taanslating the recovery.
To translate the recovery create a text file in ms0:/seplugins/xx_recovery.txt
or flash1:/xx_recoery.txt (they are evaluated in that order), where xx is the language code
of your language:

es -> spanish
en -> english
fr -> french
de -> german
it -> italian
ja -> japanese
ko -> korean
nl -> netherlands
pt -> portuguese
ru -> russian
ch1 -> chinese simplified
ch2 -> chinese traditional

The file en_recovery.txt in translate folder is included for people to translate to their languages, this file is not needed for english people, as the english language is used when no language file is found.
Just change the english strings to your language ones, and put it in the path mentioned above. Be careful to check in the recovery that the lines look fine, don't use too large text.

The spanish file es_recovery.txt will be written by the program in the memory stick.


1.50 kernel addon for fat will be released this evening or this night.


Note: a more recent version along with a 1.50 kernel [currently 4.01 M33-2] can be downloaded here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118156).

awesome news for all Custom Firmware lovers. to those who update first let us know how good it is

http://digg.com/playstation/401M33_Custom_Firmware_Released

Digg the release :)

[Jesterace]

I'm doing so now :)

[Mista Grimm]

i got a question guys, if i update to 4.01 M33 without waiting for the 1.50 kernel addon, will any of my current games freeze:confused:? ive got 3.90 M33-2 as of now.

Do you have a fat or slim PSP?

So far so good with 4.01 M33, checked out the internet search update Sony added can't say I'd likely use it much but I guess it's kind of neat.

So far my NES and SNES emulators work perfectly fine. Haven't tested my PSX games yet.

[Mista Grimm]

ive got a fat psp

[Jesterace]

ive got a fat psp

I'm not sure, I have no experience with them :(

[Mista Grimm]

ok thanks anyway:thumbup:


edit: ahhhh f@ck it, ill update now and wait for the kernel

[sappo]

ahhhh f@ck it, ill update now and wait for the kernel

The games will still work, but most of your homebrews (if 1.5) won't work anymore.

[Mista Grimm]

alright, i just updated it, played some games, worked fine. only games things that had problems were CXMB (Custom XMB) and, like sappo said, my 1.50 homebrews. no worries though, i only have one 1,50 homebrew and the cxmb is nothing important. so until kernel addon gets released, guess its just 3.XX homebrew and psx games, and a convenient web search

[Sonicboy 101]

Awesome :)

[mike_jmg]

Good to see DAX keeping up

[Bastion]

Does Popsloader work? That is the big question that I need to know before I update.

[flaminfox]

Does Popsloader work? That is the big question that I need to know before I update.

not sure, try the gen one, dax needs to update it, he hasnt since 3.80 m33 - 3

[newb_fo_life]

Looks like im going to have to stay on 3.xx cfw's on one of my psp's,but Great news :D

[dejkirkby]

Be careful guys.
It seems this update corrupts save data.

[Sonicboy 101]

Be careful guys.
It seems this update corrupts save data.

You mean for POPS, or UMD saves? Or other. or both.

[AdamRav]

I'll wait till the 1.50 add on is released

read somewhere that it will be released unlike what was reported

[flaminfox]

Be careful guys.
It seems this update corrupts save data.

then ppl should back up there saves to their pc then lol

[o1mlc]

When playing Everybody's Golf 2 on my new PSP-2003 (3.90M33-3) Slim & Lite (UK own EG2, play from ISO though) you use the R,L triggers and Start to go back to the top/main Menu in the game at any time.

I noted that compared to my Original PSP-1000 (3.90M33-3, 1.5 Kernal, 3.80 multipops, fatmsmod.prx patch v2) there was a noticable lag how long it took in returning to the top menu. I added the fatmsmod.prx patch v2 to the Slim and the lag was gone..! Good.

However, I just (about half an hour ago) flashed my PSP Slim from 3.90M33-3 (with fatmsmod.prx patch v2) to 4.01M33.

The lag in returning from the top menu in EG2 had returned..! Boo!

I used the fatmsmod.prx patch v2 = brick..! Big Boo!

I'm back to 3.90M33-3 (with fatmsmod.prx patch v2) via Pandora/DC5 but I thought I'd better post this (I don't post often) just in case someone else bricks this way and they don't have Pandora/DC5 etc...

Wonder if DAX will do a fatmsmod.prx patch for 4.01M33 or whether it's just my perception of how long it takes to get back from the top menu in EG2 that needs updating...

Nevermind, all's well that ends well...hehehe..!

(Edit -when I updated to 4.01M33 my EG2 save worked A-OK so I'm not sure what the save problem post was about...so true about keeping backups on the PC though..!)

[alanparker05]

Glad to see they not given up on 1.50 and i can't wait for the save state feature in next updates

[dejkirkby]

My save data for EG2 was made on 3.71M33-3 and when I updated to 4.01M33 it was corrupted.
When I rolled back it is fine again.
Maybe the PSP reads the save differently on the higher FW.

[mike_jmg]

The savefile corruption happened to me too when I installed 3.90M33-3 and I also was on 3.71M33-4
That's why I went back and my savefiles are ok now

I read some dude at the Gamespot forums with Official FW, got his killzone savefile corrupted when upgrading to 4.01 Official FW. He said he fixed it taking the memory stick out several times and turning the psp on and off (weird)

So yep, as dejkirkby said "Maybe the PSP reads the save differently on the higher FW". (I'm guessing that's because of sony messing up with their own memory stick driver, maybe it gets fixed with the fatmsmod.prx patch v2, but I don't know, I couldn't use it :p)

[myuusmeow]

This sucks. I updated, followed all the directions (charge battery, have ac adapter in, don't remove MS) and it bricked my PSP! I REALLY hope my Pandora's Battery'll fix this. :(

[o1mlc]

Mike / DJ - yeah my EG2 save was on 3.90M33-3 so maybe that's why it was okay...

...unless the "EG2 r,l Start return to Menu lag problem" is sorted I'll stay on 3.90M33-3 with the fatmsmod.prx patch v2...

...though to be honest I'm not entirely sure if the lag isn't simply in my imagination...if anyone could confirm - without bricking that is...hehehe!

[Sonicboy 101]

Updated, And so far everything is working fine. No corruption or anything like that.
I've noticed a new implemented feature in POPS (I don't know whether if it was in 3.90 M33 or not - I updated from 3.80 M33) Which can access other save data. It's a good feature ;)
EDIT: The latest popsloader seems to work fine. An updated version with the later firmwares will be needed though. CWcheat seems to work fine too.

[lagunareturns]

The savefile corruption happened to me too when I installed 3.90M33-3 and I also was on 3.71M33-4
That's why I went back and my savefiles are ok now

More likely than not its more with the games themselves since some games encrypt the game saves and when a new firmware is installed it makes the game think the save is on another system and think the save is corrupted or it could be the firmware is using a new memory stick driver

[hahahm33rulez]

Here is a download link for m33 pack including 4.01.pbp eboot here (http://rapidshare.com/files/125662075/4.01_m33.rar)

Dark_Alex site is temporarely down since everybody is using their psp to download it. So if u cant get it to workdownload it from above or if u want to download it this way. Links are fresh!!!!!! and will work!!!!!!

The memory card utility has been around for a while, I think since 3.71, but it wasn't always available. I think it was dependent on game ID. It's good to see that it's now available for all games at least under 4.01 POPS.

[Ryupowerup]

savefile corruption happens somtimes

when you have a game the needs a higher FW but runs on a lower one
like a game need 3.80 but runs on 3.71 m33
when you update to 4.01 me33 the save will NOT work

[docskurlok]

i followed the instructions and put the files in my game folder but when i open it there is nothing there whats up with that

[VAL14]

Thanks for the speedy update DA!!!

I tried to update but it cant! Am i doing the right procedure? Can somebody give a mirror for DA's 4.01 M33?

Thanks!

Awesome! The auto-update feature didn't work but of course it's just as easy to download it manually. I just got my new slim PSP yesterday so the timing is neat.
Thanks for the update, Dark Alex! I'm glad he keeps updating this.

[NoQuarter]

Team M33 we love you,I am very appreciative of the blessing you have brought our community.I am very excited by the prospect of an open source kernel.Hopefully we see a complete *nix/gnu like os for this awesome piece of hardware.Thank all of the programmers who helped open the box.

[masterelite9]

I can confirm the 3.80 Popsloader v2 still works on 4.01 M33, so PSX games aren't a problem at all. And as for 1.5 homebrew, just use eloader 1.00 for now. Should work.

Awesome job, Dark-Alex.

[djbrotherson]

I heard irshell and cxmb doesn't work...

I'm going to assume some plugins aren't going to work either.. ?

I think i'm going to stick 390 m33-3 till all these have been confirmed cuz my PSP slim is tooo sweet right now

[DarthPaul]

Yeah, that's why I'm staying with what I have since I'm going to Oregon on the third. I also lost my pandora battery and magic mem stick.:rofl:

Before I forget, I need the 1.50 kernal to play the N64 emu. so I don't get bored on the way up to Oregon.(It'll take most of the day to get up there.):thumbup:

[murgero1]

Well my memory stick has timemachine so ill use 3.40oe-a on that for all the plugins and 1.50 homebrew and shit.... so ill update for the sake of having it..... :)

[broxigar74]

is there a way to force install 4.01 m33 on your psp like dc5 does or a program that will do it

[djbrotherson]

Brotherson!!


hey sup mang

did you upgrade yet?

I don't know if i'm going to bother with it yet

Can someone tell me the new added features

I know there's already a google search or something

Someone elaborate :D

I can confirm, irshell does work with 4.01 M33. I done a quick test and started a couple homebrew apps from it, so as far as I could tell, everything else in irshell should work with it.

[BrunoReX]

When you use Hold+ 1.0 and go back to normal mode you have hard slowdowns.

im still on 3.71m33-4 which all my hombrew and isos work, even games tht just recently released like secret agent clank.

Sony's Features of 4.01

* [Internet Search] has been added as a feature under [Network]
* Functionality allowing for altered playing speeds under [Video]
* Added Subtitle support under [Video]

Apparently 4.01 was only a bug fix like 3.71 was a bug fix of 3.70.

* Display of search results under [Internet Search] has been improved for certain languages.

( To fix issues the some user were having problems seeing Google search results if they searched for information)

* Playback of video content under [Video] has been improved for certain file types.

(To fix video playback since users had a problem as well, explains the "improved for certain file types")

M33 features of 4.01

* Game Folder will 4XX for future updates
* Bug fix of the vshmenu cuz of the camera
* Translations of M33 Recovery Menu has been added.
* All features of Sony's Firmware update

So far certain homebrew dont work, some require eloader 1.00.

Apparently in-xmb recovery and psp save states wont be available till next m33 update :thumbup:

[djbrotherson]

Oh okay cuz I read somewhere that irshell didn't work but thanks for the personal confirmation

I have a few plugins i'm worried about not working... I heard cxmb doesn't work

Anybody have any pros and cons to share?

[ExcruciationX]

Meh, this doesn't look like much of an update to me.

I'm staying.

[F9zDark]

Does 4.01 play Divx videos or was that just a rumor?

[BrunoReX]

Does 4.01 play Divx videos or was that just a rumor?

Only rumor.

snes and gpsp emulators work :D

[Mista Grimm]

Oh okay cuz I read somewhere that irshell didn't work but thanks for the personal confirmation

Anybody have any pros and cons to share?

cxmb doesn't work at all, if you enable it in the plugins menu with 4.01 M33 the psp mem-stick light glows straight orange, the screen is just plain black, and then the psp shuts off:(

[ojdon]

Ah! So there is going to be 1.50 support then, that's all good and M33's good name lives on. ;)

[flaminfox]

knowing Poisonhzkj, CXMB for 4.01 will be out in a week or 2.

besides if cxmb did work, most themes probably wouldn't work.....

[LilSwish722]

...Is that all that's in the update? That's a disappointment even from M33. Where's the savestates and junk.

[flaminfox]

...Is that all that's in the update? That's a disappointment even from M33. Where's the savestates and junk.

It was already concluded tht in-xmb recovery and save state wont be added till either 4.01m33-2 or 4.01m33-3............

[Mista Grimm]

This is fantastic!

I just set PSX version of Quake 2 up with Coded Arms controls, using the custom scheme option that wasn't previously available to us... controls like a dream!

Excellent work! :thumbup:

[F9zDark]

Only rumor.

Wow that sucks. I remember reading the "leader" of the Divx association saying it was gonna happen too... Guess that was "mock up journalism".

[anteopimp]

[MicroNut]

I have 2 "identical" 4GB MS that are magic gate supported.
After upgrading the psp wouldn't recognize the MS with the universal IPL installed on it (4th optional IPL using UPMS.)
That cards file system was originally being managed using the 3.71 fs on a 3.90M33 psp...
Reformatting the card with the 4.01PSP seemed to fix the problem.
The other card is being used in a 3.90M33 PSP with its native fs driver.
It didn't have any problems being read on the new 4.01 psp.

[TheRisingExodus]

ok I have the latest firmware 4.01 already installed and can't get the M33 firmware to install I get this error when trying to use the installer "The game could not be started (80020148)" don't tell me i'm SOL and I can't get the m33 firmware install and i'm a complete noob at the PSP usually run homebrews on my DS so this is totaly new DX

[Saracchini]

Instaled offical 4.01 firmware ?
Well , now the only way to install M3 firmware or run homebrew in your PSP is with Pandora/Despertar Cementerio.

[djbrotherson]

So I'm going to assume the upgrade is worth it?

I'll let yall know what works and what doesn't work

[Cartman121]

Hey guys. I used to be a pro with the psp but i haven't picked it up in a-bit over a year (bought a ds).

Currently on 3.51 M33-6, i've downloaded the official 4.01 firmware and put it in the Update folder in Game. But when a go to load it, it unpacks and then about 5 seconds later it just switches off.

Do i need to upgrade to a different firmware first or am i doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[TheRisingExodus]

its the official sony update and i'm still getting that same error when trying to run the pandora thing I don't think i'm doing this right but I don't have a clue DX WHY DID SONY HAVE TO MAKE IT SO HARD!!!!! makes me love my NDS and its flashcart system so much more

[urherenow]

you need a psp that can ALREADY RUN HOMEBREW to make a pandora battery.

You need that battery to install 3.90 m33 via dcv5, then you can upgrade again to 4.01 m33.


You can't do squat with an official firmware installed.

[TheRisingExodus]

so yup i'm sol then............ don't know how to downgrade firmware either...........

[Cartman121]

Ok well i thought i would try the easy installer for 3.90, load it up everything going smoothly until it unpacks it...5 seconds later it turns off again? No idea why it's doing this. Any ideas guys?

It's doing the exact same thing for 4.01

[jedikevin20]

All i got to say is thank you lord alex for keeping 1.50 kernel. Regardless how old it feels and seems you take it away and its like you've lost your old grandpa. You just feel incomplete lol

[psp_sfdm]

Ok well i thought i would try the easy installer for 3.90, load it up everything going smoothly until it unpacks it...5 seconds later it turns off again? No idea why it's doing this. Any ideas guys?

It's doing the exact same thing for 4.01

You should update your psp to 3.52 M33-3 before going to 3.90 M33. This is what was mentioned in the README file for 3.90 M33.

After you upgrade to 3.90 M33, then you should not have any problems updating to 4.01 M33.

I hope this helps.

[.:PSP1.0:.]

Hey guys, I'm a PSP newbie again (haven't put any programs on my PSP or anything since 2 years ago, I just recently bought a PSP Slim) so I'm kinda wondering how to install this custom firmware.

Right now I have the official Sony 3.80 firmware installed. What do I need to do to my PSP to get m33 to install?
Thanks!

[TheRisingExodus]

its me again with a dumb question and bare with me but is it even remotely possible freakishly tiny glimmer of hope that I could get this to work even though I already did update to 4.01...... I know the one guy said you had to have a PSP that could do homebrews already but that sounds dumb especially in the case of those with the new slim..... I have a phat but I updated it to the newest firmware befor knowing that I needed some crazy custom firmware to do homebrews....

[djbrotherson]

Hey everybody I got mine updated

irshell doesn't work and if i use the patch, the psp doesn't load

i tried flashing some files from my old theme

opening_plugin.prx won't work so i lost my coldboot sound of "playstation portable... PSP"

Anybody know how to get irshell working?

I didn't do anything special. Both 1.50 and 3.90 version work for me after upgrading from 3.90 m33 to 4.01 M33-2.

[F9zDark]

Hey man, he never said it wasn't gonna happen... Give it time... Hope is awesome :D

Yeah, but he said 4.0 update, which is why I was waiting eagerly for it. Hope it comes soon though, cause the PSP really needs.

[DPyro]

For anyone with official firmware who wants to upgrade to custom firmware, google 'psp pandora'.

[djbrotherson]

I can't find some of my homebrew

I have GAME380 folder

Do I rename it GAME401 or something?

[Veskgar]

Do I rename it GAME401 or something?

I think for the foreseeable future you will just use a folder named GAME4XX. I have only been using the GAME folder for a long time though.

[djbrotherson]

Thanks Veskgar

[awdark]

Would it be possible to just stick with everything as 2.x+ kernel anytime soon? I tried to look for compatible emulators and most of it seems to be for the slim only but I wouldn't mind avoiding the 1.5 altogether.

[fbueller]

I know this will sound n00bish, but I really have searched and can't find the answer -

Can you upgrade directly to 4.01M33 from 3.80M33? Can you do so with network update or do you need to manually install it?

Thanks.

[andwhyisit]

Can you do so with network update or do you need to manually install it?
You can do either.

since internet radio quit working in 4.01 m33 how can i go back to 3.90 m33
Recovery not working

[pspmodel1001]

Use pandora.

I'll update my PSP after I come back from vacation since there's a CXMB for 4.01 m33. This is really the only plugin I use.

What are you talking about? Internet Radio is just a web page the PSP browser connects to, no reason why it shouldn't work. And after testing, it does work unless you're speaking of another sort of internet radio app.

[BigRain101]

can this be put on a psp fat if you dont have a hacked firmware?

[djbrotherson]

My internet radio works fine

still waiting for an iRShell patch :D

[Voelund]

PspStates Experiment for PSP SLIM
---------------------------------

Please read carefully this book... i mean this readme before proceeding to use this plugin.

Note: The author will not be responsable of any kind of damage to units or of data loss
(including game data loss) that this software may cause.
This is true for all my software as they are free, but in this case I would feel like I
would indicate it explicitily.
It is recommended that you backup the nand and important data of memory stick before using this plugin, in order to avoid posible loss of data.

This program was never intended to be part of M33 cfw, it always was planned to be released as
a plugin, just to clarify :)

This software is experimental work and it may behave incorrectly or not work in all cases.

Requisites:
-----------

- 4.01 M33, 1 or 2, doesn't matter.
- A good memory stick is recommended. Fake memory sticks are... fake... and shit, they could make
load and savestate too slow.

Instructions:
-------------

Copy seplugins folder content (IMPORTANT: including the empty folder SAVESTATE, as the plugin will not create it) in /seplugins and activate the plugin using the recovery.

This plugin at the moment will only work in game mode, don't bother to use it in pops or vsh.

VERY IMPORTANT: because of technical reasons, DO NOT USE this plugins with umd's inserted,
and do not use it of course with UMD's in normal mode, even isofs mode is not recommended.
Use only in march33 (recommended), np9660 or in homebrew.
You can have the plugin loaded in umd's, as soon as YOU DON'T USE IT.

I just download the firmware but when i want to update it there stands ; 401.pbp doesnt exist ;S ...

[Spatchmo]

hi, i'm new to this. I have a slim PSP which had 3.71 M33 on it, i bought in thailand, they said i would be able to update the firmware as normal, i did today and it seems to have overwritten the M33 i had and is just sony's firmware 4.01.

i have looked at the above instructions and copied the update to my memory stick, which still has all the games and gubbins in it, but my game folder in the XMB is empty.

what can i do to get back on track?

thanks for your help

[andwhyisit]

Next time install custom firmware, not official firmware. 4.01m33 was in that link on the first page of this thread. Unless you know someone else with custom firmware that can create a pandora battery for you then you are most likely out of options.

yeah, not the most helpful seeings as the guys who sold it to me said that it would be ok to update normally but thanks anyway.

looks like i'll be buying a pandora's battery then.

Cheers

[Gohon2705]

i Keep trying to update and i did exactly what the read me said but it keeps popping up saying game could not be loaded...what do i do?

[phatpspfreak]

Hey I have a fat psp and updated to firmware v4.1. If I try to update it to 4.01 M33 it says "the game could not be started (numbers like476547659).":(

please people register and tell me if u can

[KyleHassen]

im having trouble with my emulators on 4.01m33-2 like snes gba nes gbc. i got popsloader working just fine and i got CXMB working just fine. i creat the folder GAME4XX and i did it a few other ways but its not even coming up as corrupted data. its like their not even thier. anyway around this. i hear that this firmware runs alot better but i cant seem to get them working and i cant find anything online about them.

EDIT: i also even tried the GAME150 folder, till someone can help me out with this im staying with 3.90m33-3. i can upgrade and downgrade whenever i want too.

EDIT 2: HELP PLEASE

[slap2007]

hi all i have got psp slim cfw 3.71m33 can i update to cfw 4.01m33 ??

[Mr. SnO0kies]

please help... It keeps saying "The Game Cannot be started"

I'm new to psp homebrew, so if anyone could help that would be wonderful, i'm using a fat psp, and i've only downloaded the original 4.01 update from sony... :(

[andwhyisit]

I am going to say this once, and once only.

You CANNOT go directly from 4.01 to 4.01M33, it DOES NOT WORK.

You need to downgrade to 1.50 in order to get to 4.01M33 (if you have a phat, slim process is a bit different).

official firmware (4.01 in this case) > 1.50 > 3.52M33-3 > 3.71M33 > 4.01M33

You cannot run the updater without 1.50 firmware or custom firmware.

[don828]

hi all i have got psp slim cfw 3.71m33 can i update to cfw 4.01m33 ??

hi Slap, i think you need to go up to 3.80m33 first and then just use network update to get to 4.01M33.

[w1zzy]

it has been a while since I looked at my PSP, I still have 3.40 OE-A, what route do I have to take to upgrade to the latest firmware and where can I find the files I need? btw, I have the thick psp not the slim

Any HELP is greatly appreciated

[Mr. SnO0kies]

I am going to say this once, and once only.


Thank you for the help, i'm going to give it a try :)

[Nehelenia]

I am very noobie to all this :/ I am really lost, could someone give a noobie girl some help and send me a pm with how exacly to install this and how it works ^^;

How to do this T_T

[pspd]

How to do this T_T

You should buy a tool battery and use some easy installer get to custom firmware then install this.

[TheRisingExodus]

I did finally get this to work using pandora comand to get the psp to 3.8m33 and updated and yes get a tool battery it will help cause I did brick my psp once but I got it working using pandora ^_^

[Jojoj]

This isn't working for me :mad:.It says game could not be started :confused:.Help please

[pspd]

This isn't working for me :mad:.It says cannot play game :confused:.Help please

Are these dumb noobs still asking why it doesn't work on official firmware.

[Jojoj]

come on.help :o

[Jojoj]

Are these dumb noobs still asking why it doesn't work on official firmware.

And you shut up.stupid :mad:

[Jojoj]

where r u pspd?not replying

[pspd]

where r u pspd?not replying

What should I reply? Sony doesn't allow installing cfw when you are on ofw by normal means. You have to use some bug to install cfw. In new firmware these are patched and you have to install cfw by pandora battery. Pandora battery with magic memory stick forces psp to service mode when you can run unofficial code from memory stick. There are lot of easy installers which can make magic memory stick for you and pandora battery is available online or you can make it yourself which I do not recommend because you need another psp with cfw and tool batteries are cheap.

[Jojoj]

TNX,man sorry bout all that

[caffeinekid]

Has anyone else suffered crashing using the new 4.01 M33-2?

I've had my PSP slip freeze and then turn off while using the latest version of the Snes emulator and also using the Spectrum emulator.

It's not happened before I upgraded so just wondering if it's a known problem, or just my bad luck?

Cheers guys.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and very new to gaming, so apologies if this is in the wrong forum. BUT.......
I've spent 3 days trying to get the info for hacking my PSP, and this is as far as i've got. HELP....
So all i really want to do is be able to use the 'remotejoy' to play games via usb.
1)I bought the Daxter/Slim + Lite Bundle
2)I opened the battery and scratched away the copper wiring (i was told this was one of 2 options - the first was to remove the '5pin' but i didn't want to do that)
3)so the battery will work once the PSP has booted.
4) i try to run the cfw (none of them worked)
5) i try to run pandora battery creator (doesn't work)
6) so finally i successfully reconnected the battery copper wiring by using a pencil to refill in the gap.
7) so now i'm back to where i started!!!!!

Is it REALLY possible to 'mod' 'hack' or whatever!!! my psp (version 4.01)
If it is, can someone give me a tutorial that may actually work. I'll gladly donate to any site that can really do it for me!!!!!
Thanks for reading.
Peace, Jazzboy

You need another psp with cfw to run pandora battery creator.
I would suggest again to buy tool battery it costs like 10 bucks.
Hopefully you haven't already ****ed up the battery.
Graphite from pencil will probably melt after sometime. (I dunno how much current runs thought there.)

[xulfnoe]

thanks for the 4.01 m33

[LAMPRO]

Ive got a FAT as you can see in the sig.. BUT

the slim is en route. welcome me to the circle. Ive been here a while watching the slims have somewhat of a separate experience with certain things- however minor.

As a new slim owner, on 401m33-2, and having never USED a slim at all, ONLY a fat, can someone please tell me how the 1.5 situation is different on the slim as compared to the fat, when talking about ms folders, fatsmodprx, and all these 'slightly different' aspects of the slim??

my bad for being slightly off topic if at all..
appreciate the comments..

[TheRisingExodus]

I like to find that out to about the 1.5 kernal for the slim not loading is it the hardware difference between the 2 handhelds and why you can't run 1.5 frimware on the slim.

[Cloudhunter]

You can't run 1.50 because it'd be alot of effort to get running on the slim in the same way it does on the fat.

However, if you install TimeMachine, you can run a 1.50 - 3.40 mix :)

[LAMPRO]

so is there a GAME150 folder on the MS after its formatted on a 401m33-2?

I put the update folder in psp/game but im so confused on how to do the rest im new to this whole thing i downloaded the 401 m33.rar

[KL316]

i followed the instructions and downloaded the update folder with the update pbp file into the game folder. i tried to run it and it asked me if i wanted to download off the internet

i said yes and it gave me a ufile error?

whats going on??

[phat420man]

Ok call me a noob... I downloaded the 4.01 firmware, installed, renamed it to 401.PBP just as the instructions said to, extracted the EBOOT.PBP file from 401M33.RAR into the same UPGRADE directory. The original firmware installed w/o an issue, but 401M33 gives error "The game could not be started" (80020148). I was getting the same error before I upgraded to the official firmware as well.
