First of all thats dark_alex's firmware m33 is a diffrerent custom firmware so i really dont know what to say because im confused.

[djbrotherson]

whats the benefits of M33 over 3.40 OE-A??
Which one is better? Why should i switch to M33 from 3.40OE-A? Should I or shouldnt I? I would like a good reason to if there is.

[Gold Line]

M33 is being worked on
OE is not (cancelled)

So well yeah m33 is better in every way

[steve520]

oh okay there both pretty much the same except m33 has a higher firmware but i wont upgrade i had a problem with mine but i like the m33 firmware and i dont see a purpose to update from OE-A until maybe 3.60 M33 comes out that would be kickass.

[djbrotherson]

how is it better in everyway??

[Gold Line]

because its exactly the same as 3.40 OE but with a few new stuff.

[djbrotherson]

Whats stuff???

-umd dumper
-new cpu speeds
-toggle flash 0, 1, 2, 3
-supports latest 3.52 firmware
-vshmenu (mini recovery menu for xmb)
-sony's no-umd iso loader (faster more stability and compatibility than M33's loader and OE's loader)
-supports all games that require 3.52 or lower.
-ability to play iso videos
-better popstation compatibility
-black and red recovery menu :p

i cant think of any more.
there are no cons that i have experience

[djbrotherson]

thanks...

well i have custom icons for my xmb, will it work with m33?

[Gold Line]

yes

[xg917]

GOLD LINE is a spammer!! :eek: lol

custom battery icons (system_plugin_fg.rco) only works if you convert it for 3.50 or later. everything else works

:p everyone has their moments

[djbrotherson]

do i have to start with the first M33 release to install or can i just go straight to the updates?

[xg917]

first installer. get the 1.50 update and the 3.52 update then use the update maker thing like you needed to do with OE. then after you are done with updating then u download the 4th update and use it. then ur done updating for now

[djbrotherson]

is it really worth it for me to upgrade? i read something about 333mhz not working correctly and getting bricked if u went to some site.... wtf is all that? doesnt seem worth it...

[xg917]

the visiting some site thing was a rumor proven to be false. just make sure you download all the contents from this website (ps3news.com took the update and made a modification then released it, people downloaded it from there and bricked..) so make sure to never go to that site because they suck.

the 333mhz works for me (supposedly it doesnt work in the xmb..) but thats where u spend least time using your psp so no worries.

installation is pretty straight forward like OE.

you need the 1.50 update, 3.52 update, 3.52 M33 updater. after you use m33creator a new thing will appear under game, its called m33updater. you execute that, after done updating, download the 3.52 m33-4 update and use it (that update will take a few seconds then it will send u back to the xmb)

[djbrotherson]

Okay so now im at M33-2 and I should go straight to M33-4??

I got both the updates to goto M33-3 and M33-4... none of them explain how to update but the update for M33-2 was a little tricky with the typos and all... so what do I do from here??

[Gold Line]

yes upgrade straight to M33-4

[acn010]

meh... some glitches are still visible... yet it is the latest fw avaiable

[djbrotherson]

Can someone tell me how to install M33-4 cuz there are no instructions what so ever

[djbrotherson]

ok i think i did it, i just put those files from my flash0 into the popsloader folder and then ran the update... i didnt change the names of the prx files... did i do it right? it says its M33-4 and i havent ran into any problems yet...
