i already posted this 7 seconds before you =P

[Saracchini]

Another one ? Huh...

[xg917]

nice, u should test it and see if it works. i cant test at the moment..

[Sonicboy 101]

Oh, great.
I just installed m33-5 and now this comes along! :D
Anyway great release again.

[xg917]

is anyone else getting database errors on this site?

[burrito]

Your post didn't include important stuff, like the download for users not signed up on that Russian site.

I tested this out, it is great! Everything I tested so far works, AND it is faster! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :thumbup: :thumbup: ;)

[burrito]

is anyone else getting database errors on this site?
Yes, I got the errors yesterday and today. I think it said that too many users were on dcemu.

[Sonicboy 101]

Yeah, I get some.

SOME ONE TEST RATCHET AND CLANKKK :O

[specialist83]

question...can i upgrade from my original 3.51 M33 1st version directly to this 6th version straight? read the readme file but it didn't say if it's a cumulative patch or not...so am asking u experts here in case i brick my psp...thanks..! =)

[tvrstl]

These russians are just Great!! and more than great++ :D

also loading speed is fast!!

[Gold Line]

yes you can.

[xg917]

if it loads faster than wouldnt that take battery life?

[burrito]

if it loads faster than wouldnt that take battery life?
I don't think so, it's probably just that Sony can program more efficiently because they created the system. I'm not 100% sure though.

[xg917]

thats my guess too

i wonder what more can the M33 team update since this iso loader is mostlikely 100% compatible

[blackrave]

Yay, just like the POPS emulator! Sony create, homebrew devs crack for full usage. :)

Another great update by the great M33 team. I'm starting to doubt anyone can do better than them!

I think they are a bit harsh against becus25 and test30, though. After all, they do contribute to make it better, and always give credit.

Here's the rest of the important notes from the readme:


- We've known that on some english-talk forums, there is someone called "McDanny"
telling that he is part of M33 Team. This note is to say that he is NOT from M33, and
just a faker wanting some attention. Please don't believe him, as you won't see any
mail, notice or anything outside our webpage (m-33.narod.ru) or pspx forum posts.

- For not russian users - especially website admins:
For every sites, if you apreaciate our releases and the visitors that they bring to you,
we would appreciate if you could put our paypal link in evidence as we need to
purchase hardware matterials.
Thank you.

Puzzle Quest seems to load correctly with Sony's prx (even with an UMD video inside XD)

[Chameleon]

becus25 and test30 are probably crying right now!!!

The sony prx is for no-umd. The OE no-umd didn't require a umd in your psp, but it still worked with any umd in.

[burrito]

becus25 and test30 are probably crying right now!!!
:thumbup: :rofl:

[xg917]

i wouldve been nice if becus and test30 added *GOOD* addons that we dont already have..

[burrito]

No... Everyone hates them already.

[Chameleon]

20 line plugin... they told them, hahahahaha

[blackrave]

I feel sorry for becus25 and test30. They only try to make it better. :(

[jvabbdac]

Yeah...i feel sorry for two guys too...Hey, you don't be any shame, forget about it !!!!

Ok, another thing... I think that DA send the code line for this guys in Russia for updates and new releases, just to f#$%@ sony ! If yes...Great idea !!!!

[Chameleon]

yeah, but just like xg said, they didnt release anything that useful, and update after update with no real new features added that werent implemented by dax already...

[jvabbdac]

Yeah.... i don't have really sure, but...i really thing that DA is behind this ! No in work anymore...but release the code for the guys !

[BrooksyX]

Nice work, i am really glad to see someone step up to the challenge of continuing custom firmware for the PSP. I am really glad that 100% No-Umd support is possible now because my UMD drive broke.

[BelmontSlayer]

Yeah.... i don't have really sure, but...i really thing that DA is behind this ! No in work anymore...but release the code for the guys !

Dark_AleX is not working with the M33 team. The M33 team reverse-engineered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering#Binary_software) 3.40 OE and rewrote the code to create their own custom firmware. Also, Dark_AleX is French, not Russian. :rofl:

[xg917]

dark alex isnt french, hes spanish. rofl

[siulmagic]

w/e i stil post it first

[xg917]

FREE TEMPOO

this is a great update over all

[Bakke]

yeah becus25 and Test30 should stop making shit

[xg917]

Hey Chameleon i need to know.
since you are on 3.51 M33. did the brightness fix work for you on that version?. i need to know this before i update to that version because i heard it does not work on that version.

[BelmontSlayer]

dark alex isnt french, hes spanish. rofl

Whoops, I wasn't thinking when I posted that. I was thinking French because he usally releases his stuff on PSPGen, but I forgot he said he lived in Spain in one of his interviews.

*Feels stupid*

:o

[Veskgar]

This is just great. This sounds like the 100% noUMD that was rumored to cause pressure on Dark_AleX by SONY.

I think with this news I will finally upgrade at least 1 of my PSP's to 3.51 M33.

And if M33 firmware is going to become the "elite" firmware of choice in the future, I encourage myself and others to consider donating a small amount to the M33 team. I would love for this team to stay as active as they are now with this firmware.

SONY has all but abandoned the current PSP in favor of their new "slim" PSP so I no longer feel bad for them at all when it comes to major homebrew victories such as this.

Another pat on the back to the M33 team.

[Saracchini]

I have a japanese psp (PSP-1000), using this updater with american 3.51 update + 1.50 american updater will work ?

[BelmontSlayer]

Hey Chameleon i need to know.
since you are on 3.51 M33. did the brightness fix work for you on that version?. i need to know this before i update to that version because i heard it does not work on that version.

Brightness fix? I get 4 levels of brightness on both of my PSPs (TA-079 & TA-082). The charger doesn't need to be plugged in either.

[Chameleon]

Hey Chameleon i need to know.
since you are on 3.51 M33. did the brightness fix work for you on that version?. i need to know this before i update to that version because i heard it does not work on that version.


Yes, it works just as it did before... the funny thing is I think it may work better

[BelmontSlayer]

I have a japanese psp (PSP-1000), using this updater with american 3.51 update + 1.50 american updater will work ?

Yes, as long as you are on 1.50 or one of the OE firmwares.

[jmendes]

Dark_AleX is not working with the M33 team. The M33 team reverse-engineered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering#Binary_software) 3.40 OE and rewrote the code to create their own custom firmware. Also, Dark_AleX is French, not Russian. :rofl:

I thought he was spanish

[xg917]

he is spanish


Yes, it works just as it did before... the funny thing is I think it may work better

wut do u mean work better? lol

ok just making sure because someone said that the brightness fix didnt work on 3.51 M33 and it bricked their psp, so yea.

[Chameleon]

seriously stop, france is right next to spain... big deal!!! Hes french but lives in spain.

EDIT- @ xg: I have a speaker for my psp, and when transitioning into the 1.50 kernel the sound would distort a little.. now it doesnt.
The guy who bricked his psp probably didnt know what they were doing. LOL

[BelmontSlayer]

seriously stop, france is right next to spain... big deal, hes french but lives in spain.

So...I was right?

:confused:

[Saracchini]

Yes, as long as you are on 1.50 or one of the OE firmwares.

One more question... i must update first to 3.51 m33 update (not the sony one !) and install the fix. Or this update directly for the 1.50/OE to 3.51-6 ?
Thanks for the help !

[xg917]

o wow i was wrong. lol

and thanx for letting me know chameleon

updating now! :)

[BelmontSlayer]

i must update first to 3.51 m33 update (not the sony one !) and install the fix. Or this update directly for the 1.50/OE to 3.51-6 ?

Install 3.51 M33, then install this fix. The fix includes all their previous patches too.

[Chameleon]

you must install the 3.51 m33 update first before updating to this

@ belmontslayer- yes you were right

[Squidman]

MGS still works with this new NoUMD mode, and it appears to run faster and smoother than before too

[xg917]

so so far all the games tested are working?

[DarthPaul]

What the hell? Another update?
The Sony's np9660.prx's ! Yeah!! I can't wait to finish my dinner and try this...*eats faster* ... Hahahaha poor Test30 and Becus25. I'm a friend of Becus25...but it stills funny,they really screwed up their career with these add-ons,Becus25 should keep making his 1.61 IE and forget about everything else,for real.
So yeah this is great! Much love to Team M33!!

[dj2005]

Looks to be a nice update from what I've seen concerning compatibility. M33 is doing a good job imo.

[tvrstl]

every single game I've tested works just fine!!

but Now one of my 1 gigs has dissapeard (or its playing hide and seek with me!!) Fack:(

[Safari Al]

Srry until i see a cf that is equal or greater than the standard of DA then i will not use it.

[xg917]

i would say its greater..

[da1writer]

Srry until i see a cf that is equal or greater than the standard of DA then i will not use it.

Are you kidding, the M33 firmware is looking to be better than Dark Alex's one. Take note of these from the M33 team:

1) Updates/patches firmware every week or every few days. Dark Alex would maybe throw out an update once or twice a month.
2) Just as revolutionary as Dark Alex's Popstation Hack, the M33 team has hacked Sony's PSP Iso loader (np9660 prx). Now you can play your backed-up PSP Games (Isos) without a UMD and Know the game will work 100%.
3) Installation is WAAAAY easier than Dark Alex's releases were. M33 Firmware almost does everything for you.
4) Sooner or later, Sony will start throwing out games to support only 3.50+ Firmware.

So overall, It would be best to upgrade now like the rest of us have. Try it out at least, they give you recovery mode just like Dark Alexs in case you don't like it. The choice is yours...

[DarthPaul]

Yeah I would say it's greater too. And if you don't like it why do you come in here and comment?

Just try it man,really,you're not losing anything! It's damn good to play without the UMD,and to see the 3.51's features even if you won't use them. :p


Now you can play your backed-up PSP Games (Isos) without a UMD and Know the game will work 100%.

Is it confirmed? :eek:

The notes from the newest update says it all :cool: !
Note: Do all Sony's PSP games work with it... I don't know, I don't have all of Sony's released PSP games :p!

[V3N0M]

Well looks like I have a lot of updating to do. Hey DarthPaul if you want to help ( Cause I could really use it.. ) get on MSN later. For now I'll try to get some work done on it. If anyone is curious check out the 'PSP Custom Firmware Reference' thread.. http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=68856 it has everything you need to know about every Custom Firmware. Oh btw the name is a work in progress.. :p still working on a good name for it.

[Mr. Shizzy]

Thats it !!!
I'm updating to M33. :D

With several other custom firmwares on the horizon, I was going to wait it out with my tried & true 3.40 OE.
I just wanted to see how things unfolded, before I committed to moving on from OE.

But damn. 3.51 features. Plugins for homebrew, hacked np9660 prx :eek:
DAX himself probably couldn't do better. ;)

I'm behind M33 all the way. (I plan on donating)
M33 is heir apparent to Dark_AleX.
GOD bless them :)

As far as becus25 & test30 - they are contributors to our family. They do what they can. and as far as I have seen, have always given credit... I don't believe they ask for donations either, but I'm not sure... I support them as well.


Bottom line-

M33 = 1337
PLEASE DONATE TO KEEP THIS GOING:thumbup:

[xg917]

tested using Sony's driver:

- Need for speed most wanted 501 works now. it used to hang on the loading screen with OE driver
- Socom 2 works and it worked before
- call of duty works and used to work before

im starting to like this. lol

[BelmontSlayer]

Now you can play your backed-up PSP Games (Isos) without a UMD and Know the game will work 100%.

Is it confirmed? Is it confirmed? :eek:

Yep. Dark_AleX was working on this before he left the scene...Remember?

Srry until i see a cf that is equal or greater than the standard of DA then i will not use it.

it was equal at first launch
now it is a bit better.
its basically taking off where D_A left off.
except they have more time to devote to us
and their anonymous-ness makes them impervious to SONY's ***gotry.

[brasssmunky]

Screw bacon...More like "The best thing since sliced bread!". :D

Impressive, I enabled no-umd for the first time, taking out the movie-demo disk that came included with my PSP (My PSP was used). All my stuff boots up properly.. Nice job Russians. -thumbs up-

[Veskgar]

Well guys, I know this M33 firmware is the real deal and I commend the M33 team. I am pretty convinced that I will upgrade one of my PSP's to this firmware tonight.

Just a question though....

Does this firmware come with any strange occurrences or annoyances that were not present in 3.40 OE-A? Are there any bugs or kinks that still need to be worked out?

What about 3.51 M33 would cause people NOT to want to upgrade to it? Anything?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer any questions relating to this.

Can't access Flash 0 or 1 in Recovery through USB. This is a problem for people trying to fix their units...


IS THIS TRUE !?!

There are no known bugs ATM. Also, if one is found the M33 team fixes it very fast. The only thing that would make people not want to upgrade is their stupidity. This firmware is currently the best available and will only keep getting better.

[xg917]

not true at all. i just toggled usb flash a few minutes ago. lol

[BelmontSlayer]

Just tested it on mine and my Flash0/1 USB works fine.

I have to say I'm liking these Russians, wonder what they will do tomorrow, hack the PS3???

Oh I dream

[mike_jmg]

Holly sh*t, this thing is awesome

Even the umd on the drive loads faster WOW!!!

Some rco's don't work good. I haven't tried yet because my last PSP bricked flashing themes and now I'm scared...but I heard that the Battery icon doesn't work good on 3.51 M33..so be careful before doing anything stupid.

- Custom battery icon causes USB connection/photo menu not function properly.

kk, thanks, i think im just gonna topmenu it up etc.

[Anger]

there are issues with themes on it.
on topic - i think there hypocrites.
they put down others work as stealing when there 'work' is completly stolen from dark alex. it is true some work was done reversing it but honestly - that isnt the same as writing your own which is what dark alex did. i seriously think they should stop laying out stupid comments like this because they are just going to distance themselves from the people there trying to get cash out of. because of these comments i may have been forced to not donate to there cause, which i was seriously considering. we know there doing this strictly for profit but thats still no reason to put others work down no matter how good or bad, big or small, it is. these other guys are not even asking for donations anyway so whats there game? the more i think about it the more i wish dark alex didnt leave. roll on the other custom firmware makers.

[Chameleon]

they are not mad because they used their work to create the add ons, they're mad because they are completely renaming the firmware as their own, when in fact all they really did is add a recovery menu

Some 3.40 RCOs don't work too well, but ALL the 3.51 RCOs work. I've customized my XMB, battery and volume bar with no problem.

You can grab the decrypted RCO files here (http://rapidshare.com/files/43914706/Decrypted_3.51_RCO_Files.zip)!

Nice OE update, works splendid here!

(and nobody cares who posted first, nobody cares who is right or wrong about DA's origin/geographical location so just give up).

I have custom: topmenu, system_plugin_bg, impose, 01-12 bmp, and system_plugin

@brasssmunky:

Dude that Signature is freaking huge,you'll get an infraction or you could even get banned for that. Change it before any mod notices it!

lol
i did....
i didnt think it would be a banning manner..
infraction yes, but no ban.

[mike_jmg]

Hey!!, has anyone tried an actual UMD

Hasn't anyone noticed, it loads faster
prx seems unlocked and also working to load iso
it's like we have all the futrue goodies from the slim one (except tv-out of course)

This is crazy, an update from future firmware before is implemented by sony LOL

best day ever

[xg917]

next is built in ps2 emulator. lmao jp

[Squidman]

yes

2 things:

1) was that yes to my question?
2) are you the guy that made that GUI for the font converter a while ago? if so, its freakn' amazing and i always use it :D

[DarthPaul]

darth, y dont u just use cxmb plugin? that way you dont have to flash your files.

I don't know how it works,I haven't used that before. Does it runs smooth? Or does it has any glitch or something? I'm not sure.

Omg really? I haven't tried yet,because I'm so freaking excited with the No-Umd drivers that I put all my UMDs in their cases lol.

[xg917]

I don't know how it works,I haven't used that before. Does it runs smooth? Or does it has any glitch or something? I'm not sure.

well u use the plugin in the vsh. and you put the TM folder in the root of your memory stick. and inside that folder there are 2 folders, vsh and font. you put the rcos in the resource folder which is in the vsh folder. so yea its basicly your usual flash folders on your memory stick.
the only bug i noticed is that sometimes when you exit a game the custom theme goes away but it comes back after exiting another game. which seems pretty cool because you can have 2 themes then.

[brasssmunky]

uh oh, can someone do me a favor....
someone try and click on the camera icon
my PSP has been freezing when i do that.

[xg917]

mine hasnt froze yet. do you have a custom theme installed?

[brasssmunky]

no, i dont...
umm, i am wondering, where would i find CXMB?
i looked a lil bit and cant find it..

[xg917]

umm try the search option

One more bug, if the theme you have on your memorystick has a different font instead of the default psp one, when you exit a homebrew app the font will become corrupted. The only fix for it is to shut down the psp all the way and start it up again.

[ngin.small]

dude, how the hell do i install this, my PSP crashes when i try to install it what am i doing wrong?!

[brasssmunky]

umm try the search option

i did...
edit: i typed it in wrong the first time loll.

[Mr. Shizzy]

So just to be clear:

you can update from 3.40 OE>>3.51 M33>>3.51 M33-6 ?

Or is it safer to go through each update?

[Buddy4point0]

i just installed it and THANK YOU SONY. every iso ive tried (about 15) work perfectly with faster load times than before.

[Chameleon]

So just to be clear:

you can update from 3.40 OE>>3.51 M33>>3.51 M33-6 ?

Or is it safer to go through each update?

yes, thats the way you do it... its actually safer to not go through each update ( more flashing)
and just go straight away with # 6

[soad825]

Metal slug works better and with much better load times! ill check in a sec to test these other games

I just love M33

My psp is getting better with every update,
unknown compatibility with the sony prx my ass, everything works and faster LOL

New Golden era of the Custom Firmware, probably Platium one LOL

[mike_jmg]

WOW
I just realized now, that my psp is the best thing i ever bought

[Basil Zero]

What happens if I update from my 3.40 OE-A?

Will it brick my PSP?

[logicbomb.de]

i <3 bacon.


100% agreed.


especially w/ maple syrup :thumbup:


Haven't tried this CFW yet, still on 340OE, but it looks like it the real deal.

I'll give it a try over the weekend

[xg917]

What happens if I update from my 3.40 OE-A?

Will it brick my PSP?

no

[CaptainMorgan4]

Damn gotta go download this new update, thanks M33 none the less.

[brasssmunky]

i <3 bacon.

[Basil Zero]

no

so no problem if i update it from 3.40-OE?

[bigred969]

is anyone else having a problem with there web browser? Everytime i've tried to access the browser, my psp freezes.

[ALTIMITHacker]

is anyone else having a problem with there web browser? Everytime i've tried to access the browser, my psp freezes.

^ Confirmed, mine refuses to load as well.

[Buddy4point0]

my web browser works perfectly fine, try restoring defult settings, going back to 1.5 then back to 3.51 m33 and then update 6.

[Chameleon]

all they need to do is restore default settings... no need to re-update

[Buddy4point0]

yea thats why i said restore defult settings first. to see if it will work. my psp has gotten messed up over time from hundereds of flashes so i just did a totall cleanup. back to 1.5, resotre defult settngs, corrupt my flash one, restore flash one, format mem card, update to 3.51 m33, format mem card, update to 3.51 m 33-6. now i have a clean perfectly working psp.

[brasssmunky]

i think i randomly messed something up in my flash before, my psp was being a little buggy, so i got my friends flash0 and i used in my psp, then everything worked 100% again (i also restored settings)

[taiyoh]

so no problem if i update it from 3.40-OE?

It should go like this:
3.40-OE>3.51-M33>3.51-M33-6

[Sterist]

anyone else want to have sex with these russians ?

[urherenow]

tested for a couple of minutes. Wierd... no umd does work with all that I've tried, but if you DO have a UMD in the drive, it spins up anyway. No battery saving for me :( Just like with GTA before, I always keep Lumines in the drive now so I have everything I need to down/upgrade someone's PSP when the opportunity comes around.

WEB works
Camera works
reset to default settings if you're having problems it's sure to fix everything.

Can't be bothered with homebrew wifi so sorry :/

[specialist83]

weird...i put the update in my folder as such ->PSP->GAME->M33-SIX->EBOOT and den run the update on my psp 3.51 M33...

but when i run the update it says game cannot be started...am i doing anything wrong here?


Oops...dun care abt me...it's GAME150, not GAME...stupid me...

[urherenow]

make sure you've configured your game folder to use 1.50 kernel, otherwise you need to put it in game150/m33-six/eboot.pbp

[tvrstl]

yeah, I'm just so happy!! these russians are <3:D


I first thought sony would walked over us when dark_alex left, but than these ones came piersed their balls against the wall, so we also could get their holy new things, and their holy sword they don't like: It's not the excalibur, nor the Ultima weapon, but it's called Homebrew & firmware hacking. sony's worst enemy on this front. M33 is one of those wise guys wich knows how to use this sword so M33 team took their weapons and killed the security on 3.51. they implimented the importent element called homebrew, No Umd, wich sony made just to look stupid when it got hacked, and when they realised that the PSP were ment to be for homebrew, they took their jackets and ran away, to make a unhackable PSP with anorexia.

Way to go sony, just leave us.

and than again, thanks for saving us M33:D

[Veskgar]

Well I said I would do it and I did. I upgraded my "lab rat" PSP to 3.51 M33-6 and I must say it has so far surpassed my expectations.

The np9660 noUMD is excellent. The few games I tried (Hot Brain, Ultimate Board Game Col., Luxor, Super Fruitfall Deluxe, and Tales of the World: RM) all loaded up fine with noUMD. Load times do seem greatly improved as other people have been reporting also.

Everything I have so far thrown at this firmware has worked flawlessly. No problems.

I am a very happy camper. In a way I sort of feel like I am backstabbing Dark_AleX by abandoning OE but if he quit for good, I guess it no longer matters :-(

I do hope that someday Dark_AleX does make a comeback however. But man, this great scene of ours refuses to let us down huh? So soon after the end of OE we are seeing more activity than ever in the custom firmware department.

Spread the word about 3.51 M33! I, being very wary of changing firmwares definitely give this a thumbs up. Great job M33 hacking team!

[splodger15]

Like I would ever donate to these ****ers all they do is release an update a few days just release a fully CFW with hardly and bugs in the first place. Also why slag off Becus and Test they havnt done anything wrong in the first place

[specialist83]

u sure are complaining too much when they are already producing such extraordinary results everyday...

if u're not happy wif them...u can juz simply choose not to use it...but if u're using it now...juz keep quiet pal...nobody is forcing u to donate anyway...

peace...juz a casual remark...

[splodger15]

I am not using it a will probaly never will do whats the need of an update everyday cant you just release them in a complete bunch. As soon as M33 released the 1st CFW within the same day they had released a WLAN fix I mean common atleast check before you release it

[Squidman]

you can just grab the latest update and get every update that they've released plus the latest one [obviously] and you'll get them all when they update.

and it has bugs yes, but they're reacting quikly and supplying a fix for these bugs. and the WLAN fix, as i said before, they responded and got it fixed on the same day, it's not like we were left waiting for a week or a month to get this WLAN fix.

[Veskgar]

Are you seriously complaining about frequent updates to a 3.51 custom firmware? Do some people need a reminder that just a couple weeks ago the future of custom firmware was looking very bleak with the loss of Dark_AleX.

When a small hacking team unleashes something like this to the whole world, they instantly have a global army of "beta testers" of sorts. So naturally with more people testing out the firmware in various ways, more bugs will be found at first. This is a good thing and the M33 team has obviously been on top of fixing major bugs right away.

This is the sort of commitment and dedication that we should all acknowledge and appreciate. A good custom firmware is like the heart of a homebrew-enabled PSP. It makes all sorts of things possible.

If you had a problem with your heart I bet you would want it fixed right away if it could, LOL.

I know becus & test meant well but I can totally relate to the frustration of the M33 team. It reminds me of how people got annoyed when gpSP Kai releases were just forking the code of gpSP and causing confusion. I understood why Exophase was ticked off about that and it appears to be a similar situation with the unofficial M33 firmware updates.

I know its only a few people but they should really stop complaining and understand they are lucky that we have custom firmware projects like this getting frequent updates.

That's my rant on this matter. Don't take it too personal.


you can just grab the latest update and get every update that they've released plus the latest one [obviously] and you'll get them all when they update.
That is true. You don't need to update 6 different times just because there are six updates. Just install the initial M33 setup, then run the M33-6 update and voila! You are all up to date in less than a second.

[Citidate]

Please Can anyone tell how to install M33-6
Now I have 3.51-3
Thanks for you ALL
Robert

[Belloc]

Going to find my cable and update :thumbup:

Way to go M33 ! ;) :D

I woud like to buy the games I play like Burn Out, Puzzle Bubble etc. To support the companys and great even more great titles. But since I shipped my PSP in for repair and they shipped it back (3 months later) with one pixel erro, and an almost 99 of out 100 times working UMD drive. I was lucky it worked with GTA - Liberty City Stories to downgrade f/w 2.82 and then be on wave =)

[urherenow]

I am not using it a will probaly never will do whats the need of an update everyday cant you just release them in a complete bunch. As soon as M33 released the 1st CFW within the same day they had released a WLAN fix I mean common atleast check before you release it

and just what have YOU released that was bug free and/or didn't need any updates? Why don't YOU do a bug free CFW (or anything not coded in something as trivial as LUA for that matter) and then you can talk smack in a different thread. Better yet, don't post at all if you have nothing constructive to say.

[Squidman]

just download this update, un-zip/rar it and put it into the GAME150 folder on your memstick, then just run it from the game menu and follow the instructions, the PSP will go back to the XMB menu, and you'll be on 3.51 M33-6 and ready to go.

[Gawker]

allright...f it. I took the plunge and while I don't PERSONALLY see much difference yet I'm pleased to see that pretty much everything I'm currently using my PSP for is functional.

If someone ever puts out a game I actually care to PLAY for the PSP I'll try out the ISO stuff but since I don't own any games (I'm a homebrew fanatic) I'll have to let others fill the gaps there. I do kinda miss my battery icon as customizing it allows you to bring the whole overall theme together but it's a small price to pay for 3.51 compatibility.

Time will yield the best test results but so far so good.

[smeky]

untill they have worked out all the kinks im stikin 2 dax cw

[jeegee]

Weird, i'm just running the 3.51 m33 cfw with no update and am having Zero problems with any functions. guess if i do run into probs i can always recover back to 1.50 .. great work by these guys.

[Mr-S]

hey can u use custom xmb's still, i hav the duranium vista which says 3.40 OE, but this 3.51m33 , probably does, wanna no before i go ahead rthough

[Mr-S]

nvm i learnt yeah?? so this a oe of 3.51 (by m33)??? can i install from my 340.oe or wat?

[specialist83]

from ur 3.40oe-a, download the 351 M33 Original Firmware and upgrade, after tat downlod the M33-6 and apply the update...Done..!

[Zargon]

Does the new iso driver only help when using NoUMD or does it make all ISOs load and play faster, regardless of NoUMD?

[mike_jmg]

yes,

and on my opinion even the umds load faster
using the sony prx

[heeroyun]

_I have some question :

_How can i back up my PSP from M33 to 1.5 ? Any recovery pack for M33 like the OE series ?

_Can i play PS1 game like the OE ?

[xg917]

-yes. use the same recovery pack

-yes you can

[Squidman]

you CAN customize the battery.....you just use the decrypted 3.51 RCO's and your set, look a few pages back and you'll find a link that was posted to them

[mcdougall57]

just tested it and it works with al of my games that wouldnt work such as:- both burnouts, metal gear solid p.o, bust a move, ratchet and clank, innocent life and monster hunter freedom

[heeroyun]

-yes. use the same recovery pack
_Same as the one i use for my OE series ?

_Sorry for asking but i don't want to take any risk to brick my PSP :-s

[Cloudhunter]

Yeah heeroyun, the very same :)

Cloudy

[tvrstl]

there's one thing becus could do for me.

that's to make the m33 after 3.51 dissapear, because I'll have to send my PSP to sony soon i think, I don't want to loose the waranty just because I removed the screen for wiping away dust.

and that's about it;)

Edit: want a homebrew capable PSP wich is up to date wich does look like it's on the original firmware.

i dont know about anyone else's fortune but burnout dominator doesnt boot w/ np, let alone any method. it's had the same problem in other OE's as it does in M33

all no-umd modes 'crash' (not evenbrightness changing) but it doesnt turn off. OE driver allows brightness but it still crashes

umd method worked in OE's but doesnt in M33. it loads a little (w/o visual) before crash

i aint no noob and prolly know more than *you* so dont tell me im doin something wrong lol

i starred "you" because the way i mean that is statistically speaking -- considering how recent the majority of the comminuty jumped in

[xg917]

someone should make a thread here for that list.

[Gawker]

...but I thought that using the customized ones fubared something in the USB...I'm not MAKING custom icons just using them if that clears things up any :)

ETA the battery icons that is regarding the decrypted 3.51 rco's mentioned last page responding to me...

[MicroNut]

With what looks like most of the bugs worked out
and "native" iso support I decided to move up from 3.40OE to 3.51M33-6

So far I have not run into any iso loading problems using no-umd
The games seem to run faster as well.
I like being able to have a umd movie in
and play iso games too... pretty sweet.

I was able to convert my "system_plugin_fg.rco"
from 3.40OE to 3.51 using ZiNgA BuRgA 's RCOEdit114d
No more lockups when using usb and a custom battery icon. (Black Battery)

I used the instructions found here:
Unofficial 3.40OE-A -3.51M33 Icon/RCO converter Guide [ Edited ]
(http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&message.id=3062065#M3062065)
I am using cxmb so I feel safe experimenting with converting rco's.

3.51M33 7 is out

[Sonicboy 101]

3.51M33 7 is out

Correct
But I can't read Russian, i don't know where to download it. :rolleyes:

[blackrave]

I've registered on the PSPX forums to be able to download (they no longer host the updates on their site, only link to PSPX), but I haven't received the confirmation email yet. I'll download and post it in news when I do. Here is the list of new features:


In this update includes previous updates and next :
1) Improvement in M33 NO-UMD (that is from sony much better, but we finish our hunting) : + fix problems that prevented play in ATV Offroad Fury Pro Steel Horizons, Tony Hawk's Project 8, and possibly others. + Download improved.
2) An automated patch for the problems with the LCD TA-082 +, now illumination levels are working well. M33 itself verifies if there is a problem and it adjusts. WLAN patch placed on another. (It is available for 3.51, 1.50 in before the reboot. For those who have not read the instructions, we NEVER Distribute sony files releases! Patch programmed myself! In previous guidance, we wrote that the problem with WLAN not for us.)
3) Fourth Rate Fix is now available in 1.5.
4) The Hard Reset on 1.50 homebrew added to the recovery. Use it only if WLAN patch will not work. (It's recommended, as well as slowing import hombryu)
The M33

[humble]

thanx man for the translation

[humble]

i got it but how do you put a file on here?

[humble]

i found out

[humble]

put it in the news some one

[blackrave]

Yeah, already did: http://dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=69319. :) By the way, a better changelog:


This update includes previous updates, as well as:
* Improvements in M33 NO-UMD driver (yeah, we know that sony one is better, but we still are working
on our own driver to make it perfect as a challenge). The improvements:
- Fixed a bug that caused incompatibility with ATV Offroad Fury Pro, Steel Horizons,
Tony Hawk's Project 8 and probably more games.
- Speed loading has improved, now M33 driver imitates better Sony one.

* Automatic display fix for ta-082+ with brightness problems in 1.50 kernel.
- M33 will autodetect ta-082+ with brightness problems, and will correct brightness properly.

* Wlan fix is now done differently, patch is done in 3.51 kernel before going to 1.50 one.
- For those that don't read well the readmes: we never would include in our files a sony prx!
The fix was and is done simply with code. The 3.40 mention was to notice that the problem
was not a M33 bug, but a problem caused by Sony.

* 4th level of brightness enabled on 1.5 kernel too now.

* An option has been added to recovery, "Hard Reset on 1.50 homebrew". Use this, only if the wifi
fix doesn't work with your psp still. It makes homebrew boot a bit slower.

- M33

[decent]

Please any one tell me how can i update M33-6 patch now i am on version 3.51 M33 i wanted to go to M33-6 so please tell me the perfect fine steps when i load M33-6 patch it says the game could not be loaded help me ....

[decent]

i found out

HI sir ,
Please tell me the steps to install psp M33-6 patch i am on 3.51 M33 so please tell me urgently thanks so much . . . . . .

[ThePwnz]

how the hell do you run it correctly when i put it on my psp it either says nothings there or corrupted data

[ThePwnz]

and i have just normal 3.50

[xg917]

u have to downgrade using the lumines game.

[ThePwnz]

is that the only way i can downgrade is with a certain game

[xg917]

yea thats the only way you can downgrade.

[usp8riot]

Is this more compatible and less buggy than 3.40OE? I'm pretty happy with that at the moment. Does this firmware overcome any advantages 3.40OE has? I'm hearing so many issues of compatibility with ISO's and such, I'm not sure about upgrading.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Well there is a 3.52 M33-4 now so you should downgrade using Lumines (that's not for all the firmwares but for 3.50 yeah you can ONLY downgrade with THAT game, sorry but IT"S WORTH IT) and then install 3.52 M33. You have to install that one first and THEN you can go straight to 3.52 M33-4 from just number one (you do not have to go through 2 and 3, so many people ask it and it gets annoying). Good luck and yeah it really is worth it, I would have probably sold my PSP if I didn't have custom firmwares and homebrew.

[usp8riot]

Sorry, I meant I'm using Alex's 3.40OE custom firmware.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Oh then go to 3.52 M33 then update from there to M33-4.
