Custom Firmware 3.52 M33-2 Update
greg | July 29, 2007
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:
- Removed the advanced config option “use isofs on UMD inserted”, as it is not useful now.
- Added “Format flash1 and restore settings” in Advanced.
- Added speeds 20 and 100.
- 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.

sweet, thanks again M33!! Doing a fantastic job, keep it up!
I know, they are so great. But i got a little too excited and my dik got stuck in the umd drive :(. now i need to get it surgically removed :(
dude pls help me for this and how to do the..Extract the following prx of a firmware: /kd/popsman.prx, /kd/pops.prx, /vsh/modules/libpspvmc.prx and /vsh/modules/pafmini.prx and copy them to /seplugins/popsloader/ with names like popsman3XX, pops3XX.prx, libpspvmc3XX.prx, pafmini3XX.prx, where XX is 40, 51, or 52. tnx…
yeah someone please explain these? extract the prx? from where? i don’t see these from the seplugins folder. i don’t see these prx’s from the CWCHEAT seplugins either. do we have to download these from somewhere? it says from firmware. do we have to rim a firmware and get these prx’s from there? Anyone please help?
Yea first…what is the m33 shit anyway
thats the name of the programmers team i think
First off, it’s not shit. It’s the shit. Second it is the team name of the Russian programming team who has made this possible. So praise the almighty Team M33!!!!!
WOW, another update? m33 team is unstopable.. Thank you
Can you upgrade to this straight from 1.5?
yes. read the included documentation.
upgrade to 3.52 m33 and then apply this patch
To begin with, M33 you are a genius.
Hence to the last update, this one is close to be perfect but I am very happy, for all your wonderful work… you are now an Icon for all of us, and therefore Thank you..
can you put custom themes on this version or will it crash or not please someone tell me
well done M33. Keep growing! @.@
“4. When in usb mode inside recovery, it is impossible to turn PSP off.”
-What if I pull off the battery?
u r a genius…lolz..try this while “moving” files from you flash0 to your computer without having a backup of your PSPs flash :-)
go team M33!!!!
well thats another story dude ;)
Dumbass.
great update!
phil can you talk to me next time you get in msn? I Have a few questions about this m33 team seeya!!!
We at Sony have reverse engineered the code to this custom firmware and to no one’s surprise it contains a brick virus. Beware this is Russian malware.
Go die!!!
Sony gets what they deserve. Greedy assholes.
Microsoft is greedy assholes.
ya rite. :) I still remember u’ve said ‘homebrew will harm ur PSP’ :) honestly. :) I believe u. :)
lol
We at Sony-PSP Hacks have “re-reversed” engineered the code to this custom firmware and to no one’s surprise it no longer contains a brick virus. This is Russian Technology.
lolz…hats off to u..great russian engineers!!!
lmao at ur comment
iPSP coming Soooooooooooooooon!!!
iPSP will have Quad Core x86 Processor with 128GB Ram
Dont forget the 600TB micro-flash memory. lol
PSP Advance™ also coming to stores near you this fall.
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 =)
Sony making a virus? Beware of Sony Official Firmwares.
Sony, try to reverse engineered this custom, to add there’s features to your new fw’s.
M33 is one Leap ahead.
” Just what we needed”
“Your are an inspiration to the community.
Your work has keep us all happy…Thus…you are our new Hero.
Do i need to install the seplugins mentioned on the READ ME? Whats the purpose of the plugin?
Can someone answer this question please!!!
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.
can you do this with official firmware 3.51 please somebody help me
No, update to 3.52 M33 then download the Update. Read you noobs.
“Do i need to install the seplugins mentioned on the READ ME? Whats the purpose of the plugin?”
@Defvayne HAHAHA “Read you noobs”
Sony CEO: ya rite. :) I still remember u’ve said ‘homebrew will harm ur PSP’ :) honestly. :) I believe u. :)
M33 team just rulez! They do hav a habit to let us keep on flashing our PSP. :) but i like the ’sensation’! XD
Russian malware… M33; will indeed know what to do. There’s always a brick psp whatsoever. With this object in mind we are all aware in case that lead a…
“M33 will free all”
we are in no needs of having to have a UMD in the UMB. Whereas Team M33 will always have something good in mind”.
Yes, the “NO-UMD” modes adds more battery life. Plus the UMD-Drive is free from dust lolz.
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. And for this reason you are Amazing”….
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.
so if i hv psp ver. 3.51 or 3.52, could i downgrade to 3.52 m33 straight away?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha, downgrade to the same number. if you have official fw > 3.50 you’re screwed for a while, buddy. gotta be patient!
if Format flash1 will it brick PSP or damage psp??
no, its 100% safe
ok
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?
so if i hv psp ver. 3.51 or 3.52, could i downgrade to 3.51 m33 OR 3.52 m33 straight away?!
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
im not gonna update until a few other fixes are released…… i updated one by one last time…..thanks mm3 for keeping me from selling my psp………..
hihi, im newable…. can anyone could tell me if my psp iver. 3.51 or 3.52, could i make it to 3.52 m33? thanks…
As others have said: No.
Stop being a goddamn n00b and pay attention.
FUCK
M33,You got a donation.
hey i didn’t upgrade to 3.52 yet and im puttting the upgrade and the update and accidently run the update one instead of the upgrade and now my psp bricking please is there anything i can do please.
i mean 3.52 Custom Firmware
but i can go to the recovery mode and toggle the USB.
um…can someone send me step by step instructions on how to go about doing so? completely illiterate when it comes to this shit
or do you have any recovery mode go back to 1.5 because i can access to recovery menu. T_T man i didn’t know anything please help me M33
Ez Installer for recovery to 1.5 from recovery mode. Read the readme carefully. You can access your memory card from recovery mode.

This file from [Stallone's Master Thread ~ Custom Firmware, Cool Apps, and More] at http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=80284
There a run program at PSP/Game/Recovery/eboot.pbp. It didn’t work. but i dont have it where can i find it
i mean it doesn’t work
I think you need to put the eboot.pbp (1.5 fw file) in PSP/Game/Recovery/ first.
Yes, you need to put that file into that directory in order for it to work.
“Extract the following prx of a firmware: /kd/popsman.prx, /kd/pops.prx, /vsh/modules/libpspvmc.prx and /vsh/modules/pafmini.prx and copy them to /seplugins/popsloader/ with names like popsman3XX, pops3XX.prx, libpspvmc3XX.prx, pafmini3XX.prx, where XX is 40, 51, or 52.”
- anyone, please teach me how can i do this? thanks!
it’s actually ‘kn’ not ‘kd’ & ‘nodule’ not ‘module’ :-)
Then add ‘352′ to all the files and enable it at yr plugins. Works fine wif me.. :)
where do i get these prx’s ? /kd/popsman.prx, /kd/pops.prx, /vsh/modules/libpspvmc.prx and /vsh/modules/pafmini.prx i can’t understand what he means by extract the following prx’s. it’s not included in the seplugins folder?
What is the latest PSAR Dumper that I can use to extract prx files from 3.52. Kindly post link. Thanks!
Do you think Recovery for Any OE Custom Firmware

if i upgrade from 3.40 oe to m33 3.52 do i have to reinstall all games including psx games?
and must i repack psx games and how do i do that?
No, no and uhm no
U are just able to choose wich version op POPS to use with the game, so u are able to play version 3.40 pops with 3.52 firmware etc !
Yeh,
I set Up an Unofficial Site about there downloads. The site is:
http://www.team-m33.co.nr
Oh yeah first comment!
Good job guys, you just kicked Sony in the balls… again.
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
Good good
can I upgrade to this firmware from official 3.52?
And also do i need custom firmware
ie 3.52 m33-2 to play homebrew games etc? Thanks in advance i’m new to all this.
In the 3.10 OE’ era, there was an user that made available a zip package containing EVERY POPS version, up to 3.11.
Is there somebody here that could make the same with POPS versions 3.40, 3.51 and 3.52? This way we could start using POPSLoader more easily!
Thanks!
this is something that i was after too
http://rapidshare.com/files/46032041/popsloader_prxs.rar
this is a link to 3.40, 3.51 & 3.52 prx’s which i have extracted for the popsloader.
just put in the popsloader folder of your seplugins folder.
Tested as best as I can with the few pops games i have. enjoy.
fuck you booo! dark alex is old news orget the past and live the present. Great job m33 keep it up. but one problem i did find in this new firmware was you cant run a umd. ??? any fix?
Thank you VERY MUCH!!!!! :)
Has anyone seen any problems using an 8GB mem stick? I updated to M33-2 and bought one. I formatted it, then copied the contents of my 4GB stick off to the 8GB one. If I run some homebrew from the 8GB they hang after the PSP splash screen for running a program, requiring reboot. If I run the same program off of the 4GB one, it works fine.
Never mind! Not an issue of the CFW at all. Some homebrews don’t like running off of 8GB mem sticks. PSP2600 doesn’t like it at all.
My Dik got stuck in the umd drive :(
Is it so small that it fits? Poor you
Another great update! Thanks for helping us !!!
how do i go to recovery mode and how do i activate it in recovery mode?
THIS SH1T IS FUKKIN G4Y IT BRICKED MY PSP
noobs
then you did something wrong and didnt follow instructions
Its great to see a team bounce back after the lost of another.
Keep up the great work Team M33.
my UMDs still dont work, but other than that everything is fine
This is so stupid I’m not gonna update why the fuck would i want to waste my time going from 3.52 m33 to 3.52′ m33 you have to lunch pops to play pops games now and you have to decrypted a fw update to do so? fuck that this update is pointless its like going back intime
I posted this abit further up the page, you don’t have to extract anything from any firmwares because I have already done it and made it available to you all. please see below for link….
http://rapidshare.com/files/46032041/popsloader_prxs.rar
this is a link to 3.40, 3.51 & 3.52 prx’s which i have extracted for the popsloader.

fuck u m33 i want dark alex back
See? Dark Alex who? Fuck yeah, go you russian vodka swilling drunks! Fuck dark alex. Fuck him up his stupid stupid ass.
You’re a moron aren’t you ? C’mon, admit it ! Yes you are… Yes you are… Don’t fight it ! It will only make it worse !!!
And you prolly love to suck harry man vaginas too.
http://www.ps3hax.net/index.php?topic=1069.msg11379775;boardseen#new
lend a hand to test this out.
is there any way to contact them?
I dont like the look of this I will wait for it to be more complete I never had any issues with the OE-A firmware so I will stick with 3.40 OE-A till they make it better.
PLZ MAKE A DOWNGRADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ATTENTION NOOBS!!! READ! LEARN TO READ! Please, for the sake of all of us, please learn to read instead of asking someone to do it for you. And if you can’t appreciate the work that has gone into this program, then you don’t deserve to own a PSP.
Also, THANKS M33!!!!
it wont open 150.pbp it allways happens on my psp but i done everything it says in the readme. so unless an easy installer comes out i cant have m33. less anyone els has solved this problem?

JAY,
Did you rename the files correctly? 150.PBP and 350.PBP, and not 1.50.PBP and 3.50.PBP. I accidentally put the extra decimal in there and got the same error message, but everything went fine after I renamed them correctly.

Ok I’ve updated. Now what?

I hv update my psp to 3.52 m33 but when i used this patch (3.52-2) it show tat “this software cannot applied in this firmware or it hv been applied”….wat should i do & wat happen ?!
If i hv try the 3.52 m33 but why when i try the 3.52 m33-2 it shown tat “this software cant applied in this firmware or it hv been applied “…wats tat means?
I still give thanks to Dark_Alex for what he has brought us all up to…. Also, it is nice to see the new M33 team come out and take over and help us all to another level of greatness. Although one nice feature to see implemented in this CFW would be UMD Movie ISO support. If this could be possible, I wouldn’t know what to say! Keep up the KICK’N ASS M33 Team!
i downgraded from 3.52 M33-2 to 1.50 and it bricked my psp. be warned people

Thanx mike, that worked a treat.
Been on 3.52 M33-2 for a week now and all is good. I have test a large amount of iso/cso’s with the Sony no-umd selected and all worked perfectly. Wireless, Web browsing, Homebrew, standard 3.52 features all working fine. No lockups or auto shutdowns at all. The M33 stuff is very solid.
