Custom Firmware 3.40* Leaked Edition Released!
greg | August 6, 2007
Update: I’m returned to the XMB when attempting to run the “Wildcard All-in-one Flasher.” Using 3.52 M33-2, it seems to fail. EBOOTs (including the 1.50 and 3.40 updates) are copied to the correct destination. Anyone else? Oops, nevermind, I’m stupid — it works now! Boot to recovery mode, select configuration, and ensure the GAME folder homebrew is set to kernel 3.52. Flashed flawlessly afterwards!
Ah, ha! The plot thickens… Despite the drip, Team Wildc*rd strikes fast delivering a brand spankin’ new custom firmware for your PSP’s flash chip.
Based on their reverse engineering work, Custom Firmware 3.40* Leaked Edition (LE) is born.
3.40* LE features:
- Everything you know and love from 3.40 OE-A
- Sexy new SCEP-style recovery menu
- In-XMB configuration menu — to view the recovery menu/config menu, press R + SELECT
- Auto-detection of the kernel needed for homebrew - no need for GAME150 and GAME340; just put it all in GAME
Installation is a breeze — check out the readme.

mmm another custom firmware, witch one to chose???
God i hate you guys.. or at least the way you act about posting first..
eat my scat
Still pretty far up one day ill b # 1
Kool Can’t Wait To Check The Full Version Out :-)
why does the screenshot say custom firmware 3.51 but its 3.40 ?
Yeh I noticed that as well ??
Anyone D/L this yet and try ???
I’ve just got the 2 psp’s on M33 52 so aint moving again !!
to be honest.. a lot of things seem a bit misplaced about this firmware.. maybe because it is stage 1 of the cfw.. whatever the reason.. I am sticking with m33 until a more final version has come out..
the plot thickens again *.*
If the recovery is built into the PSP XMB then what if you brick? How can you recover?
Because to get to the recovery you need to have the XMB load right?
Or does it also have a recovery like before? Told R on bootup?
Recovery when you hold R but u can also access some features from the xmb
p00n from what i can tell you still get the old recovery mode.. except it now looks nicer and you can also get into it via the xmb as well the old way
if the kernels are merged… why does the recovery screenshot say “GAME folder homebrew” and ask what kernel to use?
good question.. why?
Question is if this is as good as what Alex used to make and if its as good or better then M33’s stuff.
errm no that really isn’t the question as it’s a first release.. no way can it be better.. besides look how many things seem out of place with this firmware, e.g. is it 3.40 le or 3.51 le, are the kernels merged, and if so why the options.. and so on…
This is 3.40 OE with some fixes and a nicer recovery. It’s made from 3.40 OE source. The firmwares are not merged, it simply uses a scans the homebrew when it is beign loaded to see if it is for 1.50 or 3.40, but you can still select 1.50 or 3.40 default if you are having problems, although the check will still exist.
“No way can it be better”? Completely false statement… and the kernels OBVIOUSLY aren’t “merged”, that would be incredibly stupid on the developer’s end, as a brick of 3.XX kernel would result in a full brick, and prevent use of recovery.
I really don’t get what the point would be in this unless it has better no-umd support. That feature works perfect on m33-2. Would it be possible to downgrading from 3.52 m33-2 back to 1.5 to try this out? Sorry for asking if it’s actually simple. I just want to know so I don’t end up bricking my psp.
competition, different cfw makers releasing different and better options, to give the users the challenge of deciding which one to take..
hey this is one cool custom firmware and all the games i have tried have worked so dont diss it till u try it
For people who allready used this, DOes use no UMD work as good as m33 3.52-2????
i think this is like what DAX’s firmware used to have, remember it had ‘NO-UMD’? I never understood the point of that feature though… I don’t think it has what m33’s no-umd is..
as for my opinions on this firmware.. looks nice.. pity my MS isn’t working, hopefully I’ll get my new ms by this wednesday… My main opinions are obviously reserved as I need to try the firmware out first.. so far it doesn’t really sound better then m33.. yet anyway.. keep on the work.. looks like m33 have some real competition on now.. nice recovery menu though.. looks like it takes a lot of flash0 space..
CATZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
downloaded and installed yes it says 3.51 in recovery menu but the actual menu is pretty sweet and looks good no iso without umd function thing i dont think but ye its ok but not as good as the OE/M33 CF’s
okl soo how is it
it’s 3.10 it’s not even 3.40 ( it says taht it is but it’s not) I ran a flasher to debrand the GB and redirect it adn it said it was 3.10 upon launch
it says 3.40 in system settings tho also m33 is better the only thing this one has better is recovery menu
Yea ik I said that, im saying when using a flasher it bring it up as 3.10
That doesn’t mean anything… just cuz the GB is 3.10 duzn’t mean all of the files are.
DAMN THATS SICK! i wish my psp didnt break :(
this program sucks almost bricked my psp it kept on freezing while it was loading
Yea me too. And for some reason it won’t let me update back. :(
This seems coo, I just wonder whats the point in upgrading to 3.40 le. (I’m still running 3.40oe-a so for me it would be an upgrade) another thing: what are they trying to pull. Its says it 3.40 and 3.51 but in reality its nothing more than a 3.10. As of right now I dont trust them. I’m going to wait to hear more about this cfw before I even consider upgrading.
Wow bro, it’s 3.40, not 3.10… Take that random guy’s word if you want to though.
it cant be a 3.10, because you use a 3.40 official EBOOT to flash the custom firmware,
I am not a noob at all, but my 300 - March To Glory iso backup worked in 3.40 OE-A
When I updated ta M-33 I tried it, and now does not work at all, so I went back to 3.40 OE-A, and still will not work what the hell have Team M-33 done…lol
I Have tried dumping it again and again and have tried my friends UMD but still nothing
Someone help, well if they can that is, Like I said I am not a Noob at all, but this is not right
this doesn’t have anything to do with 3.40 LE.
Did you try going to recovery mode and set the KERNEL to 3.51? or maybe you are on “NO UMD” mode and did not erase “CONFIG SE” under ADVANCE 0……hope this help.
WTF is this?
Really, someone try this and post here about this…
Also non of my UMD’s work ?

this doesn’t have anything to do with 3.40 LE.
I know it does not have anything ta do with 3.40 LE
and I will not try new CFW,s I have about 100-125 UMD’s plus 15 Luminees that I have bought knowing many cannot find,I just thought it would help with not having ta carry most of them with me, so back off young lad, just wondering if any one has had these problems at all
Who actually buys UMDs anymore? Just download them over the internet.
I DO. LUMINES and GTA Liberty cities. ;-)
lol…thats a good one
Lol those were my first 2 games and now I sold em over eBay and made profit from all those ppl who wanted to downgrade!
Hey dumbfuck if it wasn’t for those of us who actually pay respect to the people pretty much devoting their lives into programming for the psp buy paying for them, there wouldn’t be any new games for you to download. The gaming industry is struggling right now and it’s mostly because of people like you!
Do you think I care?
this 3.40 LE is not any better than M33. it looks good thats about it, but FUNCTIONALITY and OPTION wise the M33 is way better….I’ve tried the NO-UMD option, some games that worked with M33 “did not work” on this FW
AMEN to that bro. I tried it. it looks cool they did a good job on it. M33 still have the better functionality and simple recovery mode. This release is more on “PERSONAL” side rather than “PUBLIC” release. The M33 is super stable on the “NO UMD” side function. My umd lens is broken and I now enjoy my games again thanks to M33…..will wait for updates for now and see where this new 3.40 LE will take us.
I don’t wanna change to a new CFW. I have 3 reasons why:
1) M33 Custom Firmware is out and it’s 3.52
2) NO-UMD mode is awesome on M33
3) The new CFW (LE) is Fimware 3.40
And this is 2 reasons I might Go to this New CFW but am not:
1) XMB Recovery Menu
2) Popsloader 3.11pops is still functional.
GOOD POINT SIR!….CASE CLOSED!……most important NO-UMD mode on M33 is awesome.
I have yet to upgrade to 3.52 M33 CFW. I still have 3.40 OE because I wanted to keep my icons. But now that they released the icon thing I will upgrade. But I def. don’t plan on going to this just for nicer UI. I like that they integrated it into the XMB, but not worth getting for that.
this looks beter than m33 to me
m33 had a slowing down problem like u know o games whean it takes up all the screen and whean u scrool down it would lag all the way scroling down (in 3.50 m33 ) does it do it in 3.51 m33?
you mean in the game xmb menu? turn off “hide corrupted icons” option and it’ll speed that up but you might see some xtra crap at the bottom of the game list menu
heres what happend -This is the initial release of our custom firmware. We completely reverse-engineered 3.10 OE, updated all the tweaks for version 3.40, and added our own sexy patches.

P.S. We were also working on a 3.52 custom firmware with even more features which luckily was not leaked. But after recent events, we can no longer be sure if it will ever see the light of day.

: We didn’t shut Dark_Alex down, he’s taking a hiatus - hackers come to us to talk
Senior Sony marketing guru John Koller has commented that legendary PSP hacker Dark_Alex was not shut down by Sony and they have certainly not hired him either. Koller believes Dark_Alex is taking a hiatus (a break) and commented that Sony does not hire PSP hackers. Koller even claimed that hackers come forward and actively talk to Sony. Thanks Sony for clearing that up, we wondered where D_A got to smile.gif.
QUOTE
“With all these initiatives under way, it would seem Sony could benefit from all programmers with top PSP skills. Earlier this year the world’s top PSP hacker, a gamer known as Dark_Alex who had repeatedly cracked the PSP firmware despite repeated upgrades, announced he was leaving the PSP scene. Had Sony shut him down? Or had Sony hired him? “Neither,” Koller said. “I think he’s taking a hiatus.” Does Sony hire any of the PSP hackers? ” It’s not even a hiring thing. They come in and actively talk to us.”

“Think” is the key word. No one really knows if he will come back of what ever made him quit.
i had to teell its awsome
this CFW sucks big time Team M33’s version pwns it DONT UPGRADE TO THIS IT FREEZES UP THE PSP AND ALMOST BRICKS IT UPGRADE TO THE RECENT M33 CFW
fuck u it works perfectly the only proble is the file managr in the psp recovery doesn’t work it doesn’t do anything not to woory :).
other than that you have to remember to transfer all game150 and game340 files to game to get this to run ya homebrew otherwise it shows error 800000001 something like this and remember to change the kernal in recovery to 1.50 lol.
everything works the same
ok i dont care but dax might be back yah
haha post says 3.40
but picture shows 3.51
Does the new custom firmware 3.40*LE work with TA-82/TA-86 motherboard?
For some strange reason homebrew isn’t workingfor me. I though it was supossed to automatically scan for the firmware that the homebrew runs on. I messed around with the kernel setting and still no result so I updated to 3.52 M33
Ok, just so everyone knows. DO NOT USE THIS CUSTOM FW…at least not until the final comes out. I didn’t realize it was beta or whatever at first and tried to install it twice, and both times it failed under 3.52 M33-2 and corrupted the PSP’s settings, so it set it back on auto. Luckily i just reverted back to M33. I have nothing against the ppl who made it, afterall if it wasn’t for the PSP hackers I wouldn’t have even gotten one, but this version is highly unstable, you can try it if your using an original 1.50 PSP and not a downgraded one if you just wanna check it out, but don’t blame me if it bricks, if I were you and interested in this, just do yourself a huge favor and wait until a more final version is released, cuz most of you should agree that it isn’t worth spending another $150 or more on another PSP. hope it helps, and good luck to Team WildCard. this one just needs some more work :-)
Hej does someone know if you can install this
or an other Custom Firmware at a psp With firmware 3.52 Plz help
i got an idea why instead of making custom firmware and all that why we dont start cracking official firmware 3.51 and that sit im working on that but i need help !
thanks please somebody answer me if they want to be with me making this
You have obviously been smoking too much crap from your mom lately. WHY would we want to crack 3.51 if 3.52 is already cracked by m33 team? Think logically please dumb nut.
Oh common guys this guy isn’t that stupid hes just retarded. Greg
sounds he upgraded to Sony 3.51fw and stuck there.. and require somehelp
“LOL”, you’re the “dumb nut”… We cannot downgrade or run homebrew on 3.51 or up. Making a CFW of the version doesn’t mean crap… we’re not anywhere CLOSE to cracking the fw.
Nice. I love the new recovery feature. But… How do you put 3.51 on it like in the pic? Confused there.
I just upgraded from 3.4 oe-a to this and now i cant play UMDS play my GBA emu and when i go to recovery menu and to basic config i cant change the kernel my irshell does not work anymore….help me
Can anyone give me a REALLY GOOD REASON to use this firmware instead the 3.52-2 m33 I have right now? (which works PERFECTLY, it is HIGHLY STABLE and WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS)
Why in the hell are you so negative about m33? Did anyone had any kind of problems? Serious problems, not things like me previous old themes don’t work in m33 (since the structure is slightly changed)!!!!!!!
I had many problems with 3.52 m33 / 3.52-2 m33 , I couldn’t get a lot of cso games to run (although 3.52 m33 to 3.52-2 m33 worked better), and I had tried all the combinations from the recovery menu. With this one, all of my games play, and didn’t have to change anything (only the kernel for the homebrew + transfer them to the equilevant directory).
So, if you have absolutely NONE problem with M33, stick with M33. If you experience game problems (not running at all), try 3.40* (always at your risk)
pinches pendejos, ya callense!!!
lol, this is one cool CFW,
hey , where can i find custom xmb for CFW 3.40
I tried it out and I prefer using this firmware over 3.40 oe because of the In-xmb configuration changing, and the better overall look. Looking forward to more from this team. Well done Wildc*rd and welcome to the big times!!
