1 - 3.xx Homebrew is working fine! 1.50 Homebrew doesn't work due to the lack of the 1.50 subset... Let's see if the GEN team releases it...

2 - PS1 Emulation works fine through the popsloader... 3.95 pops does not seem to be working though but I'm guessing they'll fix that...

3 - Plugins seems to function too... I even got rid of the an issue firmware 3.90 m33 used to give me...

4 - The memory stick issues in GAME are gone... Or at least seem to be... I have no lag at all

I'd rate this as a 8/10 release because the most interesting features (3.95pops and 1.50 subset) are not available yet... Still its a very good firmware

Hi, I have a problem with this update. I'm using a TA 081 mobo (PSP Fat), Backed-up my nand before trying to do the update (I'm in CFW 393/ 150 kern right now), I have downloaded this UPDATE from 2 different sites, including this one. It doesn't load on my PSP, when I activate the 395 GEN, it stays on the white PSP bootscreen, then it shuts down. But, it says on the docs that it is compatible with "PSP Classic". I'm gonna download the 395 eboot directly and put it on my root to check if that's the problem, if it gets fixed I'll let youk now, but what I wanted to say is that this download doesn't work with my PSP, also if anybody else has this problem please reply

ok, I'm checking (translating) the page right now and downloading the $ony 395 to check just in case, any change I'll let you know.

[pspmodel1001]

heh. I'm sticking with 3.90m33-3 till they add 1.50 subset, and working pops. All in all, I'll try it later. Sounds good.:thumbup:

I was re-reading thru your post and the issue might be the fact you're on 3.93CFW... Not sure though... I was on 3.90m33-3

[archangelclass]

so, should I go back to 380M33-5? (I use despertar cementerio 4) cause I downloaded the 395 directly and didn't work either

[kyyubidx]

yeah probably... In the readme it states that any m33 CFW since 3.71 works fine to update
