3.80M33 Firmware - Give Us Your Verdict on It

[Pimp13]

Ok, I Just Upgraded To This Firmware And I Have To Say That The firmware IS NOT worth upgrading to.

1. The XMB/ISO's?CSO's are MUCH slower

2. Some memory cards ARE NOT compatible
with this firmware

3. AND MANY MANY BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember the good old days......3.52 M33 Ahhhhhhhhh..........

A few questions (kind of off topic)

1) when using 1.50 kernal mode (from recovery menu) do I need the 150.pbp file in the root of PSP (I'm not, and most of my 1.50 programs work - such as filer 4.6) ?

2) I know I said that I thought it was worth it, but is there a way to downgrade back to 3.71m33-4 ? That seemed to work faster / better - no incompatable psx games (at least not hot shots golf 2)

3) is there any way to turn a psx eboot back into an .ISO ?
I don't have the original .iso for one of my psx games that I want to use in a pc ps1 emulator

Thx

It's true, Sony is messing up big time with its firmware.

Radio on the psp is nothing new. My psp has a broken screen since 3.40oe. Can't take a chance updating blind. All its been good for is listening to pspradio and mp3 rss feeds.

i upgraded from 3.71m33 to 3.80m33-4 and its worth it........it takes 5 minutes tops including the 1.50 kernel add-on and u get the free radio internet radio......i had no problems with anything....i have an original fat which started out on 1.5.....holla back!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I like 3.80 m33 as for some reason i couldn't scan for wi-fi in 3.71 m33 and its working great in 3.80 m33.

To sum it all up: if you're on 3.71 M33-4 already, better stay there. If you really need the radio feature, use PSPRadio, it does the job just fine for ages now

1) iRshell doesn't work.
2) Custom XMBs don't work.
3) Many games run slower and take longer to load.
4) CPU speed reverts back from whatever you set it to when turning the screen off, or when it goes into standby on its' own.

5) Write speeds dropped from 5.xx mb/sec to 3.xx mb/sec with my Sandisk 2gb regular card.

I had the problem of the CPU reverting back with 3.52 or something. Just "Format flash1 and reset all settings" to make it work correctly. [if it's the same problem I had, that is.]

i havent had many problems with it, but it just wasnt worth it imo, not enough was offered to make it worth updating. the biggest blow for me is that IR shell doesnt work for 3.80
