updated newspost with new releases :)

Lol, M33-4 is now out!

Awesome, finally a reason to update.

Loving the network update feature, it's just so easy now.

Shouldnt this be M33-3 not M33-4?

Can you upgrade straight from 3.80 M33 or do you have to upgrade to 2 then 3 then 4? I havent even upgraded to 3.80M33 yet, have been waiting for this.

2 versions came out tonight and the popsloader :)

Yeah I saw that now, M33-4 is just a quick fix. Thanks.

And you dont have to update sequentially, just on at least 3.80 m33

Thanks, but I will still have to apply the 1.5 kernel patch to run 1.5 homebrews right?

Yep. Slightly annoying for PSP fat owners but I think the idea is to encourage coders to make their homebrew compatible with PSP slim. I was annoyed enough by it to fix my stuff :)

i have 3.80 m33-2



Question: if i get the new popsloader thing will it erase or corrupt any of my data from the past popsloader?

So if we did network update on M33-2 and are now at M33-4 are we screwed? Since now I see that it says we need M33-3 to install (although it worked fine...)

My God, these 3.80 CFW updates seem to be coming in real fast. I've only just updated to M33-2 to see this. I'd better get it and catch up then...

if I flashed a 3.40 OE-A custom xmb theme with this firmware would it brick my psp?

reset to default settings before flashing the firmware. Then you'll never have to worry about such things. It only takes a minute of your time, vice the several (or hours even) for someone to reply to you on a web forum.

on another note: all these releases that use the update folder make that MUX homebrew thing all the more usefull! I need to thank that guy again :D

I've been going through a retro phase and started playing Dragon Warrior 7 on my PSP running 3.71-4. Worked fine. I then upgraded to 3.80-1,2 and 4. The game will start but not load my save games. I started a new game, but it locked up after a few minutes. Has anyone else seen this sort of behavior?

I've got the same problems with Resident Evil 1 and 2 with 3.71 and now 380M33..:(..Two off my favourites..Hope they can fix it in the future :thumbup:

Nice. Let's hope this one is stable and bug-free. :)

LOL
this is awesome, network update did everything :rofl:

just installed M33-4 from 3.80 M33-2

edit: yep, the little slowdowns I've been experiencing are gone, Thank you DAX, you're the best

Just upgraded, anyone trying to put a link up to some 3.80 Pops files?

Ok, I just upgraded... M33-2 to M33-4 but I didn't install popsloader cuz i dont know what it is or does. Can someone tell me?

I have Megaman X 6 already on my PSP (its a PSX game)... What do I need popsloader for? The game and the saves are running fine along with everything else. I used autopopstation4 to make Megaman X 6 and that psphacking101 video for instructions on how to make it

anybody knows what file I must have to run homebrews like Tyrian and other programs?

(of course, for the 3.80 m33 - 4)

Its a psp slim.

Slim has no 1.50 kernel support.

No need for that. If you are on 3.80 M33, the 3.80 pops files are already on flash. You would just need the pops files for firmwares LOWER than 3.80.

Aw... come on! Many talented hackers invented programs that even Sony denied to the fat and they did not make anything to work homebrew on slim?

I´ve hear of something like DevHook... this works on slim 3.80 m33? (I think it might work like the kernel 1.5)

About the only thing you can try is Noobz's eloader for the slim.

Were they working on FW 3.71 or whatever you had? Have all the emulators that you are running been updated to run on FW 3.xx?

If they have been updated for FW 3.xx, it's simple. Just make sure that in the configuration in the M33 Recovery Menu your kernel is set to 3.80 and I don't know if it makes a difference for emulators but also set the UMD mode to: Sony NP9660 -NO UMD-

Now if your emulators have not been updated to run on fw 3.xx then make sure you install the 1.5 kernel addon and set your kernel to 1.5 in the configuration menu in the M33 Recovery Menu.

Now my problem is this. I decided to upgrade to 3.80 and installed update 4 because I heard that this fixed the slowdown issues but I just tried Sega Mega Drive Collection and the intro movie lags. I did format flash1 and reset settings and even format the memory stick and still the same. I tried also all the other drivers that don't requiere UMD and I got the same result.

I have a Sandisk 4 Gig stick. No matter what it just runs shoppy. So I guess update 4 did not fix this problem.

Also when I try Normal -UMD required- which I heard works fine. I get this error when trying to load the game: The game could not be started. (80010013). Even though I have a movie UMD in. Unfortunately I don't have a game UMD I can try. That's with kernel 3.80 and 1.5

uhm, have you installed the 1.50 kernel addon?

wow 3.80m33 just came out and already has problems i will just stick with 3.52-4 for the time being but the features are good way to go DAX!

do anybody have instructions on how to downgrade back to 3.71 m33

Well you would use the pandora battery trick with the magic memory stick or whatever is called. There has to be some instructions on this forum. I did it before. I found the instructions in the afterdawn forums

is there another way-only have 1 battery-i just want the 1.5 kernal but i updated pass m33-2:(

You should be able to do it just with one battery. Once you have converted your battery to the pandora battery you can convert it back to normal by booting just using the AC power adapter and running the application to and choosing the option to convert it back to normal.

Again you will need to follow the guide. And I don't think there is any other way to downgrade from 3.80. Also are you sure that the kernel addon only work with update 2?

um if I'm not mistaken get the 3.71 m33 update and put the update eboot in a folder called recovery and put it in the game folder then go on recovery mode oo the psp and choose the option that says recover it should be the third option

warning-do not network update past 3.80 m33-2 without first installing the 1.50 kernal

did u try my way

i put the eboot that was in the 371m33 update folder to psp/game/ but b4 i did that i made a folder called recovery and added the eboot in there-i ran the program nothing happen-please give accurate steps if u can
