Wow... And bricking (It was in the read me, they altered it, they clearly knew it) peoples PSP's for MONEY is better than those idiots that do it just for fun. How?

They explained the reasons and outcomes on the read me. They were very clear to me.

Go download their hello worlds, You will be surprised people from the noobz team (Along with some other coders that they had problems in the past) are missing on some of them.

They edited that part and the part that warned users that the PSP will SURELY brick if it was tampered with.

They have always given credit where credit was due (or at least to whomever PROVIDED THE FILE TO THEM AND CLAIMED IT AS THIER OWN) INCLUDING PRAISING TEAM M33 FOR THIER NEW RELEASE!!!!!

---

THEY HAVE NOT AS I TOLD YOU ABOVE. THEY EDITED AND TAMPERED CREDITS ON READMES AND THE REAL PROGRAMS. HEAD OUT TO QJ AND SEARCH FOR SOME POSTS BY FANJITA. YOU WILL SEE HE MENTIONED THEM EDITING A HELLO WORLD APP TO EXCLUDE SOME OF THE NAMES. SOMETIMES THEY ALSO ADDED PROPS AND LINKS TO THEIR SITE.

I too can use the caps lock button.

PS3n*** hosted it and will continue to host it and future releases of it. They don't care. They will host anything as long as the entire staff isn't aware that a file will brick PSPs and then they will remove the file. This is the only sin I've seen the sight commit, although that's sin enough for most people.

Team wilc*rd did not steal any code from M33. PS3Sh*t clearly admitted to have "obtained" (hacked) to get the source code to team wildc*ard's firmware.
By the way it's hard to work as staff in a site and not know what is going on. They have to visit and monitor other sites to get their news after all.

Then don't mention it and get your facts straight.

A version without a password was uploaded because some people could not unrar passworded archives. It's legit.

@ spotfist- the original upload was password protected it has been removed due to difficulty in members not being able to access it.

Thanks Doowds! just wanted to make 100% sure it was the correct file as Iv only just downgraded my PSP so didn't want to end up breaking it! hehehe

Lucky I didn't updrage to the broken M33 version, I would have been sooo miffed hehe

I love homebrew!

Hey, how do i clear my internet history on my psp ... Do i just delete the files in the folder or the folder and what it consist?

Just want to be on the safe side

The problem while on 333mhz is with some plug-in[s] enabled. I don't know which though,because I'm using 3.52 M33-4 and I have no problems. It runs smooth at 333mhz. So yeah.. this is not a fact to don't upgrade.

Another successful update. No problems or worried here.

Thanks again M33 Team!

::EDIT::

It looks like SVCapture plugin doesn't work anymore. I've tried everything I could think of. I mainly use it for screenshots though, not gif video. Could someone be so kind as to recommend another screenshot plugin that will work on VSH, PSP Games, POPS Games, & Homebrew with this latest M33 CFW? Thanks!

I could of swore that SVCapture worked on 3.52 M33-2. I know it worked on one of the previous M33 CFW.

you can still use cwcheat for screenshots in game/pops/homebrew and SCEP XMB or the recovery version of theketchupman for screenshots in XMB, these plug-ins still works on 3.52 m33-4

but m33-3 just came out
now were already on to m33-4?

Any1 still sayin M33 bad? Now it gets better. :D

Yeah yeah blame it on M33, for scaring u that their update may cause brickin on ur PSP.

I tell u, u r scared coz u had no shittiest clue wats goin on PSP scene & the trouble they had. Easy short cut for u, blame M33 & blacksheep em. U know nothing abt the truth why they doing it that way. THERE IS NO MALICIOUS CODE, period. It WILL brick if it gets modified. And guess who modifies it? U dont know, of course u dont. You open ur mouth faster then ur piss reach the bottom of the ceramic pisspot.

This message is for all those pisspot lovers.

so this is safe?
i've never even heard of ps3news before this thing
i'm paranoid i've only had my psp for like 3 weeks

An excellent update, I would recommend this to everyone who uses custom firmware.

I done mine safely from 3.51 M33-6 to M3.52 M33, M33-2, M33-4 within these 2 days.
I dunno how will do it yours. So it is depend on you. Read the manual properly. CFW always has a chance for bricking, I tell you that. Even on DAX one.

If u still afraid, then dont use it. Go back to Sony's OFW.

well given the testimonials
...hehe
testi
i think i'll do it
when i get home
i dont have my USB cord here, i'm at school

Just updated and it's great! KUDOS to M33 team, I hope they'll continue releasing updates soon. I can't wait for SONY to release 3.60 so they can start working on it.

Just because DAX and fanjita say somthing doesnt mean you have to agree with them. They are not God. We are all entitled to our own oppinions. So do not calll us misinformed or act like we are flaming noobs. If some of us have stronger morals than others so bit it. The truth is that m33 put somthing in their code that they knew would end up bricking psps. They may have given warning but they had to know it would end like this. they wanted this war and could accept a few casualties. In my mind this puts them in the wrong.

and frankly I dont believe in such blind faith.... even if they killed sombody? follow who you will, thats your choice, as i said i have more moral than most people. But to follow somebody knowing they killed someone, dont you see the flaw in that strategy?

yes there is code that could brick a PSP
but only if someone alters that code (not naming names) so just chill out
if they didnt tell you you'd never have known

Can I update to M33 3.52 and then do the 4th update directly without 2 and 3?

yes you can

This release is great and completely safe. If you are that paranoid still, use a MD5 checker to make sure the checksums match up. Don't be afraid of this update. Take the plunge and update.

Ok, you need to just change your name to 'thefanatic whiner' because that's all I see you do on these M33 release threads. We get it, you don't agree with their actions. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion. You don't need to troll the threads to keep whining about it.

And GOD, no they are not, but Fanjita & Dark_AleX are 2 of the most trusted and reputable scene contributors out there and I always take what they say to the bank. And for the most part, their opinions and ideals are also the same for the majority of homebrew users.

could anyone tell me why i would want this over 3.10 oe-b

does it have popstation?

obviously it has popstation and a few other features OE doesnt have.

Yeah in my opinion its the best CFW.

Yes they most certainly did praise m33 for the 3rd update. And all other m33 firmware updates. If they removed it now then whatever so YOU get YOUR facts straight. in fact up until now most CFWs I have I downloaded from there and every single readme up until now is unaltered (same as files from this site). Why this time? For the reason I already mentioned.

Since the leak team Wildc*rd has included anti credits. Those were removed. Also M33 included anti credits in the update you mentioned those were removed. For someone that downloads from there you seem to notice so little. Of course they praise team M33 if it brought them money, why not? Also they surely did not edit all of the releases they put up. But if suddently they added some information they didn't like they just edit it out knowing they would brick other people's PSP's. How mature. If that was not enough they go out and edit the posts of their users to say they updated just fine. Why? to bring in more money.

Here is some of what they did:

Posting of personal information under someones account, not the first or last time as you remember they also posted under Dark_AleX's name. (Informatio taken away for privacy reasons, but anyone could tell or remember who it was that got attacked):

To me it just seems that a site that KNOWINGLY bricks PSP's AND tries to hide it (edits) for money is worse that a bricker site that just tries to do damage to the community. Just my 2 cents.

I just don't get how such a lame site could have such great smileys...

Okay after further investigating when I have the VSHAnalog plugin disabled in the Recovery Menu I can get 333mhz in the XMB but if you click on photos OR music it will switch to 222mhz and WILL NOT RETURN. Just reporting these bugs, you can click on anything in the XMB except those if you don't want to lose your mhz. I hope M33 can fix these problems because the VSHAnalog is one of my favorite plugins (switchs the Dpad & Analog in XMB) and it doesn't use the Home button but if it's enabled you CANNOT get 333mhz ANYWHERE in the XMB and the HOME button VSH Menu WON'T COME up for some reason.

umm. i get 333 on my xmb :p

if u lose 333 for some reason press home and set clock speed to default then press home to get out of the menu, then press home again to go back into the menu and set it to 333, it should be changed. :o it worked for me because i noticed my clock speed got slower somehow.

You realise, right, that they don't tend to add "this file has been edited by us to make us look better"? The edits tend to be relatively subtle and insidious, and of course they get away with it because most of their visitors are ignorant leeches that don't care anyway.

The one good thing to have come from all of this is a little user education. The only question is whether the cost was worth it.

Frankly, you need to STFU with this useless flaming.

The fact remains, that DAX and Fanjita are HIGHLY respected members of the scene. So, of course people are going to listen to them. They also agree that what M33 did was correct - aswell as 99% of people now that they have been presented with more evidence.

So, go suck a lemon.

M33 put NO MALICIOUS CODE in their release. The "security measure" was placed by $ony. It corrupts an EBOOT if anything is changed in it. PS3News hex-edited the EBOOT and corrupted the update. That is what caused the bricks, not M33.

Get informed or just don't say anything.

I'm sorry, but I have to post this about the PS3n00bs drama.

Uh... actually, Sony has nothing to do with it.

The M33-3 update uses the EBOOT's checksum as its own decryption key. If the EBOOT is modified, the data decrypts improperly. It's M33's code that flashes the data, not Sony's.

but yes, irlolin.

i think i brinked my psp using this cuz i didnt update 2 m33 3.52 i was on m33 3.51 =((((( now my psp wont turn on ,
