i just updated, i was a bit worried at first, but then realized and a re-working of exactly what D_A did, so i was fine after i started, lol and it worked perfectly. it's effing great, same OE feel but with a 3.51 twist
and i haven't tested the PSX yet, but i will later
Great Release if you liked the OE series, then you'll like this aswell, great new begining for CFW
Updated Yeah!!!
I got some weird freeze with the photo folder while having custom impose plugin, but i don´t like it anyway
topmenu.rco, system_plugin_bg, custom gameboot, and 01-12.bmp working fine (It's all I need)
edited sig yeah!
yeah confirmed, it happened to me too and exactly on the photo folder, also on settings, leave the original one and you'll be fineQuote:

I'm so happy I started dancing like a fool
I need some help with this new custom firmware to free flash 0 space?
is there a real point upgrading from 3.40oea, any decent must have new features
Im not goin to upgrade, it does not contain any great news anyway, GL every1.
This is very good news, I'm really glad this is being developed. I may wait a release or two but I always do that with new stuff.
GREAT JOB TEAM! Lets show $ony what we can do!
I also thought this was strange.. I quickly browsed through the hex of the files within the eboot and didn't find anything extraordinarily strange so I figure it's probably just a group pride kinda thing.Quote:

Well so far new custom firmware M33 is working very well on my PSP. One thing I noticed though when trying to back up the Flash is the 'config.se' in Flash1 reads as corrupt when trying to copy it over. I then downgraded back to 1.5 then strait to 3.51-M33 to give it a clean install. But it still seems to think that that particular file on the Flash1 is corrupt. It doesn't seem to be affecting the PSP at all and probably isn't even that big of a deal. Just figured I would report it. Hopefully this and a couple of other small bugs in this firmware will be fixed in future releases.
EDIT: Found a solution for the corrupt 'config.se' located in Flash1. Just get the 'config.se' from a back up of your old 3.40OE-A Flash1. Flash it over the corrupted 'config.se' and it will no longer be corrupt and still does nothing to effect the PSP in anyway. I guess you can do this if your anal and do not want any corrupted files on your new custom firmware 3.51-M33's Flash. :p
I'm personally not going to update as I see no current reason to do so but I am very happy someone else took the place of DA.
ive just updated and it seems to be exatly like oe, ive tried psx, homebrew, and isos, and they all work. i am very happy with this firmware and will be using future m33 firmwares
Lol probably isn't that big a deal but it will help out the coders. They need to know if there are any bugs in there firmware. I'm not going to update just yet. I wanna see if all the new hacks are carried over to this firmware. But thanks for the heads up on that.:pQuote:

i upgrade cus its cool to have 3.51 =P joking but yeh i reason i upgraded is it allows to be costumized almost the as 3.40 exept for the battery icon but i can live without it all in all its prety good i might add i dont see a reason not to upgrade but thas youst me
I don't think it does.:(Quote:

Quake2, not sure what else:
When in GAME150: loads but freezes when trying to connect.
When in GAME351: Doesn't load "Game could not be started 80020148" error.
PSPVnC works perfectly fine! It works fine in GAME351 with my GAME kernel set to 1.50
PSPRadio works perfectly fine! Same as above
You must download the latest version of PSP Radio
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/psp...6&big_mirror=0
It just means we need to wait for the authors to update their homebrew again to be compatible or someone to release unofficial versions.
hey so im currious, if i flash a new theme, the battery icon will not go? i mean its no big deal, but there's alot of confusion.
online gaming with rainbow six works just fine
ass our network is password protected, I have never got the radio to work, but online gaming from Umd is fine
Well at the pace these Russians are going it won’t be long until they do. :D I'm looking forward to the 100% No-UMD support since my UMD drive is shot.Quote:

However, I had some issues when trying to enable the USB from the XMB. I did a "Restore System Settings", and still have the problem. The PSP just locks up. No biggy, my 3.40OE worked fine, so I'll just go back to that. Might be because of the TA-082 motherboard.
Very cool release, nevertheless. I look forward to improvements from M33!!
:thumbup:
ok all i need to know is do plugins still work?
Yes, you will notice that everything OE had is in here. This is because they reversed engineered OE firmware and then built upon it. Think of it as OE with a new look and feel to it but still has the OE foundation.Quote:

for people having trouble:
either put it in game150 or go to the recovery menu and set the /game folder as 1.50 kernel. Also you are expanding 1.50 firmware as well as 3.51 so make sure you have enough space on your memory stick!
2. It seems that loading an .iso (haven't checked other stuff yet) will freeze the system and power will turn off after a few seconds if you have both cwcheat.prx AND cwcheatpops.prx enabled at the same time. for some reason you have to make it one or the other.
3. an 8GB memory card still causes problems with stuff (like custom .prx files not showing up in the recovery menu and certain types of other homebrew from running)
using just an .iso of a ps1 game doesn't do anything. It doesn't even show up as a corrupted icon.
whenever you uprade or change custom fw ALWAYS restore default settings BEFORE you add any custom icons and what not and BEFORE you report any bugs.
Lol eboots only. :pQuote:

I can access the photo's folder with out freezing
But I am having problems with custom battery icons.
If I use any; "system_plugin_fg.rco"
When I access the USB function the PSP freezes.
To test I loaded up the complete CXMB custom font, icon, boot package.
Everything in the pack seems to work fine except USB if I dont delete the "system_plugin_fg.rco"
this somewhat sad i just tried cps2 emulator tryd having a multyplayer session and the wifi wotn start it just frezze will move from game folder to see if that fixes enything, also i cant acccces my usb from the xmb seems something in my costum theme is making it frezze but no bigy i can acces usb on recovery im just letting pepople know abotut hat
OKAY I AM ABLE TO GET PSP RADIO WORKING ON THIS FIRMWARE!!!
I am still working on getting Quake 2 to play but this is a major breakthrough for me considering it is one of my favorite apps. Earlier I posted that I could not get PSP Radio to work but that was because I was using an OLD version. To get PSP Radio working download the latest version
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/psp...6&big_mirror=0
install that to GAME351
VOILA!
HTH
And to all you people with problems with your USB what do you expect you are flashing files from a different firmware!
they have released the decompressed 3.51 RCO and all you need to do is wait for people to start customizing them!
http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/sho...d.php?tid=2906
sheesh be patient.. custom xmb on day 1... guess you get what you get right.
I am loving this firmware so far. I still have the standard XMB but will be swapping some stuff very shortly!
Ah, thanks for that clarification. Sorry to stir the pot of panic.Quote:

There are 2 settings. This allows for 4 different configurations to be applied and be tested. Under all four my JP PSP can not play US UMD movies.
For the sake of clarity, these 4 settings are:
Fake region: On , Region free: On
Fake region: On , Region free: Off
Fake region: Off , Region free: On
Fake region: Off , Region free: Off
--End non-misinformation zone--
This seriously causes me to think that the Russian programmers are not actually reverse engineering anything. Either they have the source to OE or it's DAX. Otherwise, why wouldn't they notice that the region free system still doesn't work and either fix it or not put it back in?
Surely the methods of doing everything are not identical if this is a re-written reverse engineered c-fw. When reverse engineering something you do not end up with a nice document that is the complete source to the software. You get instructions that you can convert into some chunks of code, but then all of this has to be re-written into an actual program that functions.
So, either this has been re-written with very little regard as to what is going on within the code, or there never was a rewriting process. Someone merely changed the installer and the look of a few menus. (BTW, I love the new installer. I always wondered why the maker couldn't put the file into the flasher's folders. Thanks for that.)
Now a short letter to the coders:
Dear Russian Dudes,
Great work on the custom firmware. It rocks and so do you. You've instantly gained the admiration of thousands. Mine too, to a point. If you'd like me to admire you even more than Dark_Alex, you have but to do one thing. Please fix the region free for video UMDs. It's a non-feature that OE always added to its list of features but never actually had. If you have it, I will sing it from the mountain tops and everyone will know your prowess and grandeur.
Sincerely,
Movieless in Japan
As many are already finding out for themselves, there are many things with this custom firmware that are buggy. If you are considering using this, please note that :
1. Many Homebrew applications using network functions no longer work.
2. The battery icon cannot be changed.
3. The topmenu_plugin can not be changed for some users (Mine Can't, though I do use the JP version, Possible Explanation)
4. There is reported freezing when launching the initial setup, usb, and photo functions. This is only appearing when custom themes are applied. The original XMB works perfectly fine.
5. You are UNABLE to run both cwcheat for GAME and POPs at the same time. You will have to run one at a time.
6. Though this isn't a bug, its worth mentioning. The NO-UMD function (100%) has not yet been added, It can, but it hasn't yet.
I do appreciate the developments we have so far, however, it is important not to ignore the bugs that are obviously present.
heh sorry if that came out offensively psyberjock i just don't want someone to read it and say "Oh WiFi homebrew doesn't work so I will stick with 3.40 OE-A" and then nothing will ever come of it.. instead, you may get someone who says "Oh some of them work, ok I will install and try it" then they come back with feedback "This didn't work, that didn't work" etc etc. and then like me, try to find a way to get it to work :D
In other words...Quote:

3, 4. A lot of this was due to people flashing firmware 3.40 files onto firmware 3.51. Now with the correct files these issues may be fixed.
5. Are you using the most recent cwcheat made compatible with 3.51? (Released today as well)
http://cwcheat.consoleworld.org/
6. Well 100% no-UMD has never really been 100% :D
I believe this is only just as with 3.03 OE, and 3.30 OE, just need's a change to work I think!Quote:

yea if you change the battery icon the psp will freeze if you do anything. hopefully we'll find a way around that like with topmenus before ;)
