Team M33 is back | 3.52 M33-3 Released!

[Platt]

I downloaded and insalled this and it works fine. I have never visited the ps3news site but i deleted my history on both my PC and PSP to be safe. I highly disagree with what the M33 team are doing because it is very harsh, even if it is an illegal site. The most they should do is just not allow the update to install on these peoples PSPs. I also dont know what this PS3news site has done, so can someone tell me please, unless it is forbidden to talk about it

Its ok to talk, but its kinda long & boring.

Basically, they are stealing other peoples work. Hack the file & put their name on it. Read what DA saying abt it. Gluck reading it. :thumbup:

ok, now that i have dug around and waded through all the posts, i now see that bricks only occur if part of the file has be hex edited. since i get my software from here, i shouldn't have a problem, but maybe the warning on the front page should be edited to reflect this, i mean the truth is much more mature than fear.

i feel like my one of my last real freedoms in life has been taken away from me.

Dude, NO ONE can take your freedom from you! Even if you locked in the cell, all tied up. You still free. Freedom is inside not outside.

The M33 team did what they did on a purpose. But they probably hit the wrong target. The whole point was to stop people from visiting certain sites. They make it over dramatic though. Scaring people all around the community.

The only thing checked is installer itself. If modified it will brick PSP. And that certain site usually modify files to get credits.

Meaning you have nothing to worry about. Just get the update from trusted source.

you are right, but the emotions of not being able to easily understand what is actually going on makes one weak kneed sometimes.

as i said in my follow up, now that i have a better understanding of what is going on, i'm less worried and i'm a bit more comfortable about what they did.

i'm still convinced this needs to be added to the first thing that is seen. granted the method they choose allowed for them to only punish those that goto the *banned site*, thus not directly affecting those that wouldn't normally change the released program, but from the alerts this has raised all over the internet, they could at least make note of it in the original post.

The files here in the first post work great. Also, m-33.narod.ru is the M33 Team's official homepage and pspx.ru is the forum where they release their files.

aaahh, ok, i tried to register at pspx to download from their, and i can't really register when it doesn't send me the email, lol.

Squidman, the file here and at psp-hacks are good. don't worry.

just make sure you delete the browser folder on your memory stick, and delete the browser cache on your pc.

it's a happy and sad day for psp homebrew/hacking. happy the new custom firmware features kick a$$, and sad that so many people have already bricked on the first day.

Too bad those ps3biochez are not the ones who will brick. It'll be noobs who will forever have contempt for the scene, simply because they didn't follow the internal conflicts of the psp scene, and we're robbed of their 150$ machine by some russians who promised them happiness. And you know what? It's not their fault, it's m33's fault, regardless of a vendetta.

Now the public will never have trust for m33. I feel the same way. I can never have that feeling of "they're good people" because they have done something so ethically wrong and underhanded to innocent users.

Booster and MPH!!!!!!! come back man!!! I trust you guys.

peace yall! don't let this crap be the end of psp homebrew!

i could swear that the internet thing was a load of BS, it was just the hex edited files from the douchemongers at ps3news. [speaking of which, i only visit the site for....ps3...news, lol just cause they have a "dignified" and semi-easy to follow download section]

Downloaded and installed, no problems. I decided to treat that warning message before you press x like I do when I pick up my pack of cigarettes, I ignored it.

[Squidman]

oh and something that i recently read about the MD5....how would you be able to check that, i remember seeing that before updating to the 3.52M33 and in the OE series, but how do you check on a simple update such as this? [well i found how to check the CRC thing that's through winrar correct?]

[Veskgar]

Well after the dust finally settled and all the squabbling is over, I decided to update.

No problems here, update worked great. The only annoying thing I noticed so far is that if you lower the speed of VSH blow 222 or "default", you can't go right back into the menu and change it back. The EXIT option won't stay highlighted. If you load up a game and then go back to XMB or change it in recovery, it works again.

Also, not being able to put the PSP in sleep mode or power down by holding power slide up for 4 seconds is really annoying. It takes like 10 seconds to get the PSP to forcefully shut off.

I'm glad it has been cleared up that ONLY modified EBOOTs of the update will cause bricks. It is unfortunate that there are lamer sites out there that put a bad name on the scene.

Thanks M33 Team!

Okay after some investigating I have finally figured out what the problem is with not getting 333mhz in the XMB. After disabling my VSHAnalog (which switches the analog and Dpad and vice verca in the XMB) I can get 333mhz in the XMB but there still remains to be some issues. Now see I asked in my last post what the HOME button menu thing was, the reason I didn't know what it did was because while having the VSHAnalog enabled in the Recovery menu the HOME button menu wouldn't come up. The strange thing is the VSHAnalog plugin doesn't use the HOME button just the 2 volume buttons to switch between the Dpad and Analog. After disabling this I could get 333mhz but I still had small bugs, such as the mhz not staying at 333mhz (going back to 222mhz) and then freezing in the XMB. My PSP would freeze and just act funny even after disabling the plugin, so I have gotten back to 3.52 M33-2. I haven't experienced ANY of these issues with previous versions of M33 firmwares, but please someone report these bugs and hopefully we will get a M33-4 fix.
