PSP: M33 3.51-7 patch released, lots of fixes!

The M33 team has released another patch to its brilliant custom firmware. The list of changes and fixes this time is big:

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

Yes, it's superb! :) I think the feature I like the best of these, is the ability to enable the 4th brightness level in homebrew. Finally!

It lets you play backups from the memory stick without a UMD in the drive. As many people don't play games from their memory sticks, this feature is not important to many.

theICE_MAN, I would try recovering to 1.50 and reinstalling 3.51 M33. The same thing happened to me the first time i upgraded. :)

What the real point of no-umd unless your umd drive is broken? Even if you don't want to use any of your game's umds you can just stick a demo disc in the drive and everything will work fine.

Much shorter loading times, longer battery power.

I'm confused on one thing though, should we keep using the Sony UMD mode for now or should we use the M33 one, which is faster/better battery life now? You said it imitates it so I'm just unclear on which one is better now, I think your trying to say that the M33 one will be better in the future. Anyway though I'm loving the brightness level for homebrew, was always curious to why that wasn't in the OE's.

Hey!!!

I has the same thing happen to me on my other PSP.

I dg'd to 1.5, did the m3 3.51 install... but the same thing!!!

I went to recovery mode (and restored original topmenuplugin) and noticed that UMD free region was somehow enabled, turned that off - restored default settings in XMB, and that seemed to fix it.

good luck, let me know if this works.

PS. I also had this problem using the files I got from QJ, but it only affected 1 of my PSPs and not both.... weird

[EDIT]

OH!!! and if you have custom topmenuplugin with this problem it will semi brick. restore the original; file and it will work.

I think that custom icons won't work if your FW wants to display the PTV and PLAYSTATION SPOT icons....

Very nice.
M33 Rocks!

Are all the bugs are dead yet!?

People have to know is that they need to convert their custom battery icons "system_plugin_fg.rco" to 3.51
or the psp will lock when using usb.

And it looks like some "topmenu_plugin.rco" might need to be converted as well?

Guess I missed the previous six patches. How do you use this thing? I tried running it under my original 3.51-M33 firmware, and it just tells me it could not be run.

*edit: Nevermind, I'm a dork. Had it in the GAME351/ folder, instead of GAME150/. It worked. :)

:rofl:

So not only is this team giving us the best CFW for the PSP, but they are fixing SONY bugs in the process..... A true testament to the seriousness and talent of the M33 Hacking Team. I don't think we could afford to have this team lose interest in the scene so lets all try and get some donations sent their way sooner rather than later.

One of my PSP's is a TA-082+ with the brightness issues on 1.50 homebrew so the fact that this has a built-in brightness fix is just pure icing on the cake.

This firmware is amazing! Thanks again M33 Team!

Yeah I just recently updated to 3.51 M33-7 as I was waiting for lucky 7 to come out so I was patient enough to update. Great update though.

Anyways, one question. I know I've posted this earlier before, but how do I actually submit news to the main front page of DCemu? hence why I posted in the PSP Homebrew and Emulation cause I still don't know where to post news lol. If you can explain it would be utmost appreciate. Thanks and thanks to the M33 Team.

and for you, this sometimes happens instaling custom firmware, even the ones from DAX, happened to me and many others while instaling 3.40-OE

edit: sorry don't use this, is the one from 3.40 OE
or reinstall 3.40 OE and use it

You just need to replace the config.se on flash1 and everything will be back to normal, here
