Woah the updates are coming thick and fast :)

Thanks again Dark_Alex :D

this update was just a bugfix
nothing to really get excited about

i'm not even on 5.00m33 yet *le gasp*

It's good to see Dark Alex still duking it out with the latest firmwares. I'm planning on updating, since it's been a while...I'm still on 3.8something M33 and i hadn't updated cuz everything pretty much works...but now I would really like to check out that new Pops and see if hopefully Final Fantasy 8 and Chrono Trigger play all the way through.

Anyways, I have a question about 5.00 M33.

Where's the 1.50 love? I haven't seen a kernel patch, or maybe it doesn't require it. Most of my better homebrew is still 1.50 and I'm really not planning on configuring ALL that jazz again, so any light on this would really help.

Thanks again DA!

He released the 1.50 add-on for 5.0M33 a few days ago. If you have a phat you can use it :)

For those of you who still can't access the PlayStation Store with this update, you need to turn off "Use M33 Network Update" in recovery.
Just found that out myself so I thought I'd pass it along.

I get excited about EVERY update from Dark_AleX. They have all been improvements. He's never released an update that took us in a step backwards.... unlike *cough* SONY.

5.00 M33-3 kicks a$$!

Slight problem for me. I bought WTF (Work Time Fun) off the PSN and now the game will not boot since the new update. It crashes on start up with the error:


The game could not be started.

Does anyone else have any UMD legacy games that crash as well or is it just this title?

Edit: I am going to attempt to re-download the title to see if that makes any difference. I'll post when it's done.

Try changing your no-umd mode.
If that doesn't work then use the fake 5.01 thing introduced in this firmware update.

I'm a newbie (player, I mean. In reality I'm too old to play, or so my wife claims). So please bear with me for my ignorance. I have one of the "fat" PSPs and I have upgraded it up until 4.01. I would like to install the 5.00 m33 on it and try homebrew games and apps. I have followed the instructions on the release: place the sony 5.00 update as 500.PBP and the EBOOT.PBP (5.00m33) on the \psp\game\update folder and run. The problem is that the 500.PBP files appears to be corrupted always. Any idea what is it that I'm missing? Thanks for your time and patience with and old guy trying to play young.

Your problem is your firmware, you've taken all the right steps, however you cannot upgrade to any custom firmware using an Official Sony Firware release. I suggest looking into downgrading to version 1.50(using pandora's battery if you have a friend with a PSP or a spare battery) then upgrading to custom firmware in increments, I.E 2.00 OE - 3.52m33-3 - 5.00m33-3.

You need at least version 3.52m33-3 or higher to be able to upgrade to 5.00m33
