Team M33 is back | 3.52 M33-3 Released!

[Squidman]

hokay, so i just had a nice hour long read of 22 pages......and have been given relatively new info, but would like a small confirmation as i am a little depressed and paranoid at the moment.

i downloaded the M33-3 update from PSP-Hacks and it has come with all the files that everyone is mentioning, obviously the update file, the License and both languages for the readme and the popsloader prx file [for previous pops]. PSP-Hacks claimed to have their "source" from "pspx.ru" and someone in the comments section has claimed to have bricked from the files. should i re-download from here, and will i be safe to upgrade to 3.52M33-3 on my original launch TA-079 3.52M33-2 PSP with the AppleCor Theme installed?

[Psychondrius]

Actually (and literally just now), m-33 has posted the updated m33 3.52-3 file on the website, m-33.narod.ru. Download from there if you don't trust psp-news Update: pspx.ru requires forum registration before downloading.

i'm guessing that this m-33.narod.ru site is M33 site as DAX had his own site?

so can you confirm that the files work? i don't know if i can get my mobo swapped by the guy that fixed my screen....and i don't feel like doing that Walmart thing, my PSP is the greatest most versatile console i've owned. [lol deep]

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.

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!

wow.... this thread had so many wars and arguments... im just gonna ask one simple question and hope it gets answered, Should i upgrade to 3.52 M33 and then to 3.52M33-3 from my current firmwire right now which is 3.03OE?

[MicroNut]

Yeah I can't get the 333mhz in the XMB or the WiFi, I'll try resetting the settings to default and see what happens.


ps. What's the XMB launching from the HOME button thing?

There is a new menu that pops up in the xmb when the home button is pressed.

1. It lets you set the CPU clock speeds for XMB and Game.
2. Choose your USB Device: Mem stick, Flash 0,1,2 & 3 and UMD. (didnt notice that you can dump UMD movies using this, doh!)
3. Choose UMD ISO Mode
4. Mount UMD ISO Videos.

Only reasons to upgrade:
The new M33 XMB menu
ISO UMD Movie playback
Popsloader capability 3.30~3.52

Problems that I know about:
If you have any other plug-ins that use the home button in the xmb the new M33 menu might cause a problem.
You'll have to convert or get new themes for 3.5x
When a UMD Video is mounted, sometimes when switching out a UMD game it will fail to load (wrong region code error)

And this has happened to me once.
When exiting a game the ability to put the psp into sleep mode did not work.
I use the SCEP plug-in and it failed to execute any commands.
The PSP wouldn't go into sleep mode from the power button either.
I had to cold start my PSP.

If you do go to 3.5 M33 there is really no reason to use any other version that 3.52 because of all the fixes and changes in 3.51

After doing more research, (thanks Cloudhunter and Eggman), I learned that brickers have been in loads of CFW's. I updated, and all was fine.
I'm still not entirely happy with being told which sites I may frequent, though!

MD5:
46f046a759fc0415d9ca9c4e0199a476 "BRICKER.PBP" (THIS IS PS3news VERSION)
b20e264b1e2042be87ee361fe9dd8ebf "EBOOT.PBP" (THIS in M33 FULL VERSION)

SEE PS3NEWS HEXed the M33 FULL VERSION and it changed the MD5

if the MD5 of the eboot is not b20e264b1e2042be87ee361fe9dd8ebf DONT USE it

ONLY use the eboot if the md5 is b20e264b1e2042be87ee361fe9dd8ebf

[Nookadum]

Cloudhunter, Ryupowerup, and Eggman are right. You guys have to check the hash (MD5) of the .PBP and see if it's correct. (see Ryupowerup's reply above)

The one at PS3News is ****ed up. I thought someone DDoS'd those ***gots?
