Who in their right mind would dl cfw's and updates to it from a filesharing program when you can go to m33's site and dl it from them directly. If you went over ur friends house, you would hopefully be smart enough to look at your friends psp to see if it bricked. Its all common sense, dont update if ur friend bricked thats just not smart.

Ive used the m33 3.52 firmware all of the way up to update 4 without any problems. Great releases no matter how small they are great work m33 keep it up.

for reference remember the fake dark_alex releasing update brickers...he got shut down didnt he

yes but that was different

he was in it to be a jerk however when it comes to ps3news they are in it for the money.... which is a far more motivating benefit. throughout time people have stole ideas in the name of profit and there will never be any way to completely stop it. and I dont thinking hurting the innocent is really the best way to go about solving things

Hmm... when I think back to my first days of the PSP scene, in which I had no knowlegde, the 2.0 downgrader had just come out, and they showed on G4 live, the downgrading process. I wanted to downgrade people's PSPs, but I was scared to, so I did a lot of research and studying on various sites, and on readme files, and then I finally downgraded and everything went well.

Now, what if it so happened that the site I went to was the ps3news site...

Don't get me wrong, I like what M33 is doing, but I wish that they would have outlined it clearly in their readme or something, that getting the program from these specific sites could potentially brick your PSP, and then explain why.

Fortunately now, if all goes wrong, there will be a recovery to help you out of it.

no recovery for those who bricked from the last update.... oh well for them.... i guess its only natural to have casualties in war

yes this is obviously why m33 is taking the intiative to stop these lamers, because nobody is going to stop them unless somebody decides to do something about it (hence the security enhancements)

right and hurting the public is okay if it stops one man and gets a m33 adequate revenge.... i guess the ends justify the means

From what I know the M33 Team didn't do anything it was the people from Ps3news who hex edited and broke the encryption...

if you didnt know ripped material has been going on for ages, and this is a means to send a message to others wishing to potray the ps3news aspect... and to put an end to it once an for all!

put yourself in their shoes, you release a custom firmware which you worked hard on, would you let people ripping your material, and claming it as their own get away with such cruel tasks?

I think not!!!

true but m33 released a program that if tampered would brick a psp.... even knowing that it would indeed be tampered with and then released to the public....if i gave away free knives but made everone agree not to hurt people i would still be responsible for the actions committed with the knives....

right and there is no possible way of doing this other than somthing that will result in bricks....

In the case of the fake dax as you brought up i remember that we were able to shut him down with information....
