3.80M33 Firmware - Give Us Your Verdict on It

no... actually those of you who claim to have a phat but irshell doesn't work... it sounds like you're bitching. if you have a phat, use the damn latest 1.5 version of ir shell. It works perfectly... aside from the 1.5 kernal not being able to handle an 8GB memory stick very well (irshell will show a big looking negative ammount of space left, but it's the 1.5 kernel's fault not DAX nor Ahman

pops games... if it ever worked then it will still work. 3.80 m33-4 + 3.80 popsloader will run ANY version of pops. Period.

so for those saying this doesn't work and that doesn't work. Pound sand until you figure out how to configure your stuff and test it properly.

Worth the upgrade! Great work DAX!

granted there will be things that need updating. for IRshell... slim owners need an update (from my version anyway, I don't have the latest because I only care for the 1.5 kernel irshell for the remote function... maybe someday I'll get around to trying the remotejoy thing with PSP Phat video coming up on your computer monitor :D )
some prxs do need updates, and a few homebrews have fatal issues with sleep mode. gpsp kai noted below WORKS with sleepmode.


for emulators... just don't have the time now but
nesterj 1.11 works,
gpsp kai 3.2 test 7 works (surprisingly well too!) even sleepmode!
rin
snes9xtyl 0.4.2 (3.xx)
latest vice (of which I'm currently looking into porting the c128 part of vice to psp :D )
Daedalus (will run in both kernels but sleep mode is farked!)

plugins
cwcheat
recovery.prx
popsloader

Same with me. I'm on 3.71M33-3, and unless there becomes a real problem with it, I'm going to hang fire on going to 3.80M33.

I was still on 3.52, so I figured it was time I updated. I also wanted to make my homebrew compatible with the latest firmware and updating was the best way to test it. When was the delete function added? It's good to be able to delete from the XMB (I forget to do it on PC).

I think it's good just cause I have ps3 :)
I put my white slim on 3.80m33 and it works fine.I still have my hardmodded psp phat on 3.52m33 just in case.
The network updates are simply amazing,good work Dax.Maybe I've changed my mind about the installotron now...

We need 1.5kernel addon and popsloader remotely as well.

Well im on 3.80 m33 4 slim and its all good , all my ps1 games are workin , all my hombrew games are fine, sum u have to use eloader to boot them but thats ok , my iso's and cso's all workin 100% so yes im a very happy chappy cheers Dax and all of M33 nice 1

I like the final 3.71 - No problems for me at all.
Waiting for 4.0 and hoping for the rumored DivX support.

I recently updated to 3.71m33's last update release and updated to the multiboot popsloader, and at this moment I'm satisfied with what I have. I'm planning on purchasing a Slim if only for the ability to play on the big screen, then I would update to 3.80m33, or when a new game (worth buying) comes out, then I'll update.

:thumbup:Dark_Alex, M33, ect., keep up the good work comrade.:thumbup:

and with that, I take my leave.

Do svidaniya!

everyting is slower in 3.80
Even with -4 path and a very good sandisk ms
I don't like this firmware
Now VCS runs at 222 or 266 (I think 222 cause is very very slow) can't change cpu speed :(

i normally hold out until a demo requires the latest firmware, but the internet radio feature was just too enticing. though i haven't tried it out in the wild, on my home network the radio is a blast (play it through my stereo), and i haven't had any problems since the FW1.5 kernel add-on was released. i'm at 3.80m33-4 now out of fear of any memory stick slowdowns.

I noticed that 3.80 firmware added a dropshadow to your photos, making them look like actual photos sitting on a white surface. a subtle but cool touch. And I've been using custom themes just fine...
