Who Recommends Updating to the Latest M33 v5.0 Firmware

[Wally]

5.00 M33 is by far my fav custom firmware.. its a 5 and a .00 for goodness sakes!

You people have to understand that its not just a firmware update, DAX applies his M33 fixes to the firmware as well.

You have to understand that just because it is as higher firmware version number, doesn't necessarily mean that it's better.

hey is it possible to get your user name banned by using playstation store with CFW? If so I might go back to 3.80 M33. I don't want any chance of getting banned.

You'll be waiting for a long time for an iR Shell update, closest you'll get to it is NervOS (good in it's own right, but I still prefer iR Shell myself).

I've got 5.00 M33 on my slim and as everyone says, it's simply a matter of time re. Popsloader...

...my problem is that unlike 3.80/3.90/4.01 M33 you cannot patch the fatmsmod.prx to give you the memory stick performance of 3.71. If you've never noticed te difference, it'll probably not bother you (still way faster than UMD), but I notice it all the time, especially on games I've played to death (FFT, EG2, GTA-VCS etc.)!

DAX is still the king, but I hope he'd do a patch for 5.00 M33 in respect of the memory stick driver. "Alek" over at DAX's site has said DAX has no plans for a patch, and that it would need to be done from scratch again as the file is no longer fatmsmod.prx, it's fatms.prx - apparently not just a name cahnge, the file is different...perhaps a gear up re. downloadable content from PSN?

So 4.01 M33-2 with all the patches if you want A1 performance, but 5.00 M33 if you want the features...plus the new wave kicks ass...!

You missed my point entirely..

Dax applies some new fixes to the later M33 firmware instead of adding patches to the older ones.

I know later firmwares aren't always better but when people stick to 3.40 OE or 3.52 M33 and never try the latest firmwares well they might as well stick their feet in glue and never move again.

Then again, sometimes waiting for the first patch isn't always a bad idea.

i always update to the latest CFW...lets you play up to date games and crap. pluse why stay on a certain version for psx compatibility? You can just yous pops loader etc.

i recommend you update.

Plan on upgrading once I find a game that won't run on 3.71, so far every game runs fine. I plan on trying Midnight Club and Star Ocean to see if they run soon.

I updated and I really like it, but I want a POPSloader.
