Dark Alex Releases Custom firmware 5.00 M33-6

[wraggster]

Dark Alex is back with a new custom firmware for the PSP, heres the release details:

Here, the quick fix.

5.00 M33-6
----------

This update is a try to fix memory stick low speed since 3.80.

Instructions: Copy UPDATE folder /PSP/GAME/ and run.

If you come from a version prior to 5.00 M33, put sony update as 500.PBP in same folder, or let the program download it for you using a wifi connection.

Changes in 5.00 M33-5:

- A setting has been added to recovery, that, when enabled it may increase memory stick reading speed. (only on the psp, not in the pc).
By default it is disabled. If you installed 3.71 fatmsmod, do not use this setting, as its perfomance with 3.71 driver has not been tested.
Instead, reinstall 5.00 m33-4 using dc8 and update to 5.00 m33-5

Changes in 5.00 M33-6:

- Fixed a bug that made unbootable psp without memory stick or with a bad one.

The included file fat_comparison.html contains a comparison of perfomance between the 5.00 fat driver, the 3.71 one, and the 5.00 one with the speed up hack during the read of an iso.
The test was done on the game Valkyrie Profile in cso format in march33 mode. Other games, modes and applications different than iso reading showed similar results.

Nothing too new but updating anyway

[mike_jmg]

works great, specially the speed hack for the M33 driver

this feature was the one that made me update, at the cost of loosing the custom background and waves I like, cause I was still on 4.01M33-2, but is ok

Seems that DAX did it again, great work

edit: I also like that when you plug in the usb cable the psp conects to the PC automatically, I guess this was from the 5.00 update, but it's new to me hehe

[Buddy4point0]

WOW.
This works so much better than I expected.

For everyone who is expecting a small, barely noticible speed increse, you're in for a treat.

Thank you DaX!
