Custom Firmware 3.52 M33-2 Update

Posted by greg

Talk about an exhilarating Sunday… Not only has Team M33 released M33-2, the update to their 3.52 custom firmware, but “The Two Coreys” premieres tonight! Wow!

3.52 M33-2 changes:

  • Document.dat of psx games were broken due to some important changes in popsman.prx and now is fixed. Plus, now document.dat does not need the same gameid as game which is played.
  • The compatibility issue with irshell loading psx games in usbhost/nethost has been solved.
  • Changes in recovery:
    1. Removed the advanced config option “use isofs on UMD inserted”, as it is not useful now.
    2. Added “Format flash1 and restore settings” in Advanced.
    3. Added speeds 20 and 100.
    4. When in usb mode inside recovery, it is impossible to turn PSP off.
  • The chineses and korean languages did not work in XMB, because they crashed homebrew and recovery. The issue has been fixed, but korean font is not there, so you need to take it with psardumper from official updater, and put it in flash0:/font/kr0.pgf.
  • M33 driver: fixed SBK07, now it work.

Installation and additional release notes in ‘readme.en.’ Feeling generous? Donate via the source link. Another job well done Team M33.

Anyone please help?

    We make the tools, any firmware can be decrypted down to the last line of code.

    As long as firmwares made by using “human or down to earth programming language”, it can be decompiled.

    Unless these sony people have advanced alien technology to make these firmwares. LOLZ =)

    Yes you will need to install the seplugins to the appropriate folder on your MS. Examples of plugins would be the new iRShell, CWCheat, etc, although i’ve had trouble getting CWCheat to work.

    Owing to the fact, Russian malware under such circumstances, we are decided to take our chance all the way, even if there a bug’ as I stated first party’s are too greedy to this end we all take a stand to find our freedom, not to be limited or as to take full advantage of our gaming console…M33 Thank you for step in the scene, we are in need of someone whose willing to take all the way.

    Allow me to complete the translation:
    PAX - “Even though there is a possibility that these firmwares could really be Russian malware, we have decided to risk our PSP units anyway. Even the custom firmwares, with their bugs, are better than the official ones. To this end we will take a stand and protect our freedom of choice, to remove needless limitations and take full advantage of our purchased gaming consoles.

    “M33 Team, thanks for stepping into the scene. We need people like you who are willing to unlock the full potential of the PSP. You are amazing.”

    …Keep it up.

    all this shit really means to me is that sony isnt smart.

    and m33 and all those other dudes are kickass.

    good job bitches.

    but besides that point.

    i cant seem to find a preffered cfw.

    all i really like to do is play psx games and try out new psp titles whenever they come out.

    deck my 8gig up with some wild 9 some old tenchu shit and a little bit of crash

    and maybe have a theme goin on for the white psp

    someone help me out

    and make it 10x easier for me?

    2007-07-30 16:40:03

    ok dude…find a downgrader that works with the firmware you have so that you can downgrade to 1.50 official firmware the most up-to-date one is from the noobz team i think you can do it on 3.51 but you need the game lumines…i think you are screwed for awhile on 3.52 official…then M33 or DA firmware must be flashed from 1.50 because homebrew isnt enabled on official firmware above 1.50 (this isnt strictly true, but close to it)…that is why downgraders need these exploits through game titles to enable homebrew (HEN=homebrew enabler)…you can upgrade to this on a cfw (custom firmware) like DA oe firmware because homebrew is enabled on those and that is why they are hacke…i hope this helps

    For people who have problems with the psardumper !!, DONT USE SQUARE TO EXTRACT, USE THE CIRCLE BUTTON !

    this will prevent the error message and the psp freezing up !

    great job m33 - but i have just one request - maybe you can pace your updates - i am having a tough time figuring out what homebrew it can run - especially - i miss my custom Themes - or other homebrew coders who need time to code to your specs - if you are reading this - maybe a weekly or bi-weekly or monthly update ?? i love it that u like to fix stuff soon - but i hate update fixes like microsoft releases everyday
