Dark Alex to Return/New M33 Firmware ?

[V3N0M]

Thanks for the info Cloudy! I figured by now he would have already figured it out. It's a shame he doesn't want to develop it further.. Hopefully he'll come back to it someday. But their reasons for not doing so are understandable and it's really not a big deal having two versions of everything for 1.5 & 3.XX kernels.

The only thing is this still puts PSP Slim owners at a disadvantage only being able to run 3.XX items whereas PSP Phat owners can run both kernels. But I guess the N00bz Homebrew Loader is a decent solution to this problem. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the future..

They already can. They just decided not to release it. See the post from Mathieulh here

By the way, the original forum thread which this news is stolen from is here:

(Yes, I deliberately avoided the filter. That filter really needs to go.)

Why the other useful information was left out, I have no idea

Okay ... here are my 2 cents to this discussion:

1. It is good to hear that Dark Alex is STILL not leaving the scene ... but is this a surprise? NO! Neither he nor the M33 team EVER planned to stop developing CFWs ... they just threatened ppl. to leave. Why? To mute ppl. criticizing them PERIOD ... this is in no way disrespect concerning their work, they do and always did an excelent jop. I think that's not arguable. But some of their comments on certain things that have happened have made me think and I got a more critical view of their behaviour. I doubt that's sth. negative.


2. Tey could implement the 1.5 kernel into the CFW for the Slim PSP and they don't do it? yeah sure ... I mean they name a few reasons, but is that really the point? I mean atm there is pretty much nothing they could work on that could improve their CFWs any more than a working 1.5 kernel, but they basically say "it's too much work" ... COME ON! U guys still believe in th Easter Rabbit and Santa?

Maybe to counter Mathieulh's argument that developers should have changed from 1.5 kernel development to 3.xx dev ... what about those "completed" or even abandoned projects no1 works on? There are zillions of good hombrew projects that are actually working(, but still have some bugs, though) and their devs have stopped coding. Like the Duke Nukem 3d port, just to name one. I think w/o a working 1.5 kernel for the slim, you'll never see such homebrews on the slim ... therefore, I think this "it's the coders fault" argument is pure nonesense! Sorry, but true!

3. anyway, to come back to the real topic, I think it's still very good news that Dark Alex declared that he keeps working on CFWs ... not only for us as users, but also because it keeps getting $ony headaches

what a relief to know he's back

[Sharpy]

excellent to hear they're making new firmwares when the time's right, they've always made brilliant work.

im sorry but your totally wrong. recompalation is incredibly easy(Ahman ported snes9x-tyl to 3.xx), thats why zx81 makes releases for 1.5 & 3.xx versions,an update to 3.xx would allow the extra RAM to be used in the slim and would allow for the use of WEP on wireless access points on any psp, which in my opnion is the biggest reason for moving any project to the newer kernals.

but yeah back on topic, viva la DAX!

is there a way to change where the psx games save

No. And don't derail the thread with questions thanks.

It's good to know that furute official firmwares will have their custom counterparts, yeah!

It will be great if they could put 1.5 kernel on the slim, mostly because I'm still planing to get one (someday :P) and all my friends are getting one, at last I'm gonna be able to play adhoc more often

I'm freakin hokage rank and have "0" battles.... lol

it's on and strong again.
