Custom Firmware 3.52 M33-4 Update

[thefanaticgamer]

if someone really wanted to copy m33's work it's easy enough to install the modules, do diff's on the files now in your flash to original 3.52 files, and then rebuild an eboot with your own info. Sure it might take a day. But they're honestly stopping nothing.

Everyone acts like they're being heros, fighting an evil demon. It's just one man running a website. So he's a douche, everyone will find out on his own accord. As far as I'm concerned, this is just like the smart kids tying down the idiot and saying it's ok because he was a bully.

Truth is they're not heros. They released software that can brick innocent peoples psp's. M33 knew that people would visit and download a broken copy from whatever website it is they hate. What they also should have known is that the jerks running the website don't actually know anything, so it was inevitable that innocent people would end up with bricks.

THAT is where the real fault lies. If you don't like what people do to your software, don't release it. Someone else will come along that's better anyway, it's the nature of the world. Some time in the future, maybe not the near future, but eventually someone or some group is going to release a firmware that makes M33 look like childs play.

for the most part i agree with thtat .. well said i just wish more people will see that and stop defending them like they are heroes.... stopping a corrupt site is one thing but when you hurt normal people in the process thats taking it to far

They are not hurting anyone, they just made it so the update remains as is, and if it happens to be tinkered with it will brick the psp to keep stupid people (ps3news) from doing it and trying to mark it off as their own!!!

The reason I need 333mhz in the XMB is because all my emulators have custom icons, backgrounds, and music so when running the XMB at 222mhz they take about 4-5sec to load. But when under 333mhz it only takes them 1-2sec to load, I guess I'm just anal about having them working flawlessly. Also when the XMB is clocking at 333mhz that means the internet browser runs under 333mhz (Yes this is true, use PRXInfo to see yourself) and I'm just comfortable at running these things in 333 so to be forced to use 222 all of a sudden is just a bad thing for me. All that aside I believe if they give us the option to be able to run the XMB at 333 then we should have that chance, otherwise it's a bug. So yeah I have alot of icons and music and I would like to see it the pop up quickly instead of waiting that extra time, it just makes my custom PSP that much better. So please M33 team adress these issues ASAP please I would appreciate it alot. Lastly like Xg I'm eagerly waiting for that next blog update from the great StrmnNrmn.

they may not be hurting anyone directly but in their program the means are there. if someone simply changes somthing it will brick. so inderectly they are responsible.

although they do have the right to protect their files they also have the responsiblity to ensure that their files do not cause harm. a good programmer should not allow their program to break the hardware just for being tweaked. by adding this little security measure they are doing nothing but harm people... nothing beneficial is coming from this. if someone alters it they will brick their psp....but if someone simply downloads it from a source that has altered it it will still brick thier psp. although they have the right to secure themselves from the first they must keep in mind that there actions will effect more than just the people who intentional broke thier policies.

and their direct attack on the ps3 site simply showed thier true colors. they didnt have to do that it just brought them down to his level

Nah, not that simple They did it really well.

Besides, it still isn't M33's fault - they can't help it due to someone deleting the key it didn't decrypt.

You're saying if someone hex edited a Sony eboot and it bricked then it'd be Sony's fault?

Logic does kinda stump people doesn't it

Trust me, if you knew what kind of people these people are, you would be REALLY glad that people are finially fighting back against them. PS3NEWS deserves to die.

the vsh normally underclocks for music and other stuff for some reason ( i dunno) i have managed to fix it by using music.prx and configuring the config file to 0...

This is from the config file:

ENABLE_VSH_CLOCK = 0 #set to 0 to disable the VSH from changing the cpu's speed, normally this is 1
#the vsh normally changes the clock speed when playing music with the screen off (to 133mHz cpu/44mHz bus)
#when stoping the browser
#up to 333mHz when playing certain video files (possibly, I haven't been able to confirm this)
#and back to 222mHz when the above things are stopped
#this also allows overclocking in the vsh browser

So id try that and see if it fixes your problem because it fixed mine

I couldnt agree more.

Too bad innocent people got hurt by this.
It wouldnt be the first time some jack@ss edited a popular file that bricked someones psp.

i do know what type of people theyr are.... but i also know what type of people we are and i want to see those two identities share as few similarities as possibily
I also know that people like this site have and always will exist. Its just the way the world is there will always be some jerk ruining it for everyone else but that doesnt mean we should sink to their level.

Actually in a scenario like that Sony could be held responsible as they have been in the past, It is common practice to write your code or make your products to withstand tampering and modification.
