Custom Firmware 3.52 M33 Released

Posted by greg

Well that didn’t take long… Less than 24 hours after Sony’s official 3.52 firmware release, Team M33 has taken the liberty in releasing their own version. You guessed it, 3.52 M33! Muuhwhahaah *evil laugh*

Custom firmware 3.52 M33 changes:

  • Now uses 3.52
  • M33 NO-UMD: fixed problem with Simple 2500 Series Portable, The IQ Cube
  • Fix a bug which made Go!Cam, GPS and sceKernelLoadExecVSH* not work in game mode.
  • PSN downloaded PSX games support wasn’t working in 3.51 M33 (didn’t work in latest OE’s either). Now it is working again. If an original PSN game still doesn’t work, we recommend to delete files KEYS.BIN if exists, and copy the game again from ps3 to psp.

And you know everything else supported with custom firmware — homebrew, ISOs, POPs — all the good stuff! Mad props Team M33!

Installation and everything of the utmost importance can be found in “readme.en.” Enjoy!

    Ahh, this needs patching, my settings under recovery keep changing on their own.

    Probably the most unreliable cfw I’ve ever dealt with.

    p.s Call me dawg again and I will kill you, learn to spell to, homes

    “p.s Call me dawg again and I will kill you, learn to spell to, homes”

    Misplaced comma. Should either be a period or semi-colon. Next, it should be “too”, not “to.” Finally, it’s “Holmes” as in Sherlock Holmes. If you’re going to bitch at others for their bad spelling, you had best get your own shit straight first.

    Hiya this thing has corrupted my psp. I have tried to upgrade and everything went f9. It;s just now whenever the home screen comes on, if i click on an icon (say “MUSIC”) it just freezes and turns the psp off. However the only thing that works is the recovery mode. I have also tried to downgrade it using the recovery mode, but as soon as the “update” starts the screen goes white, then black then the psp turns off. Please help.

    Maybe I should be one of those brave few who tries a newly released cfw to later on either flame it (for bricking ones PSP) or praise it (if it works as expected). :]

    Comment by Squidman
    2007-07-25 23:05:00

    yes, the prx that controls it is removed to save space….it’s been that way since cfw was introduced [well cfw that had the possibility of location free player]

    Comment by Fiska
    2007-07-25 17:56:31

    Try putting it in the GAME150 folder, unless you’re on an official firmware. In which case you’re screwed.

    2007-07-25 18:01:16

    but i dont have a game150 folder just a game folder. but what do u mean by official firmware. im running 2.70 and want to update just to see what new features are in the latest update. cuz i i saw my friend playing a ps1 game of his psp and i asked him how he did it and he wouldnt tell me. can someone plz help me.

    2007-07-25 18:23:12

    you will need to downgrade to 1.50 before you can install this update.

    downgrade…? why cant i just update? plz explain to me what i have to do since i dont even know why your talking about downgrading?

    Comment by Nicko01
    2007-07-25 22:41:08

    updating causes things to not work. you first downgrade, then you upgrade to a custom firmware which works completely for ps1, which is called POPS on psp.

    They don’t, this one isn’t sonys, well not really. It’s theirs but it’s been hacked to run homebrew with all the 1.5 firmwqre exploits intact. Awsome

    2007-07-25 23:51:31

    Ok, 1st you need to update to 2.71, then do this:

    1st thing, VERY IMPORTANT, check to see if your psp has a TA-082. You can check it here: http://psp.about.com/od/homebrew/ig/TA-082-Motherboard-Tutorial/TA-082-code-photo.htm

    2nd, if your psp does have a TA-082 mother board, use the Easy TA-082 2.71 Downgrader here: http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/983. If your psp doesn’t have a TA-082 motherboard, use this one: http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/753, ONLY IF YOUR PSP DOESN’T HAVE A TA-082 MOTHERBOARD. IF YOUR PSP DOES HAVE A TA-082 MOTHERBOARD AND YOU USE THIS ONE, YOU WILL BREAK IT. Of course, after you are at 1.50, run the kxploit patcher found with the update package, then run the update maker. After your run the update maker, you should find the update flasher in the game section on your psp. If you have any other questions just sign up on our forums (www.psp-hacks.com/forums) and ask there.

    you can put custom themes on the 3.51 m33 cfw. it’s somewhere on the forums by stallone. you have to convert to 3.51 (the non-converted battery icon causes a crash i think)

    You need to downgrade to 1.5 in order to install this custom firmware. Use one of the downgraders found here http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/35 and then upgrade to this firmware if that is what you want

    There is a huge difference between modifying a custom firmware and finding an exploit capable of downgrading.

    That said, I’m not downplaying M33’s accomplishments because they are very very good.

    samn here i dont know what the prob is

    Comment by its called help yourself
    2007-07-25 22:56:57

    they problem is your on official firmwares. You have to be able to run unsigned code to use the custom firmware updaters, which 1.5 can do.

    Help - you are screwed as your on official 3.52 and there is no downgrader for it yet, so you are going to have to wait for homebrew.

    HELP ME!!!!
    The problem your having is your a little kid that wont do any research and want everything right now. You are going to have to read and do some research in order to get to custom firmwares. I will help you out with a quick overview of what I would do.

    1. Update to official sony FW 2.71.
    2. Use the update flaser downgrader to downgrade to FW 1.5
    3. Run the custom FW updater for 3.52 M33 and enjoy all that homebrew has to offer (which will also take quite a bit of reading).

    FW means firmware.

    peace

    Dont make a downgrader, well not yet. wait till the new slim psps come out then work on a downgrader.
    Thaks M33. One suggestion instead of having 3.52 m33 can u change it back to the oe series. It looks better i.e 3.51 oe. no disrespect.

    Comment by nerdypaul89
    2007-07-25 21:06:28

    yeah, what he said. the new slim ones are probably gonna be some off random firmware. work on that when it comes, it’s probably gonna be much higherfirmware than 3.51 anywayz.

    just wondering guys, what plugins if any are supported by this new m33 firmware? i have been reluctant to upgrade to it from my current 3.40OE due to the constant recent updates and possible incompatibility current stuff i use.

    Anyone gone fron 3.40OE and noticed any signicant problems, does CWCHEAT and such still work?
