Custom Firmware 3.52 Update M33-3 Released

greg | August 19, 2007

My apologies for the delay on this one, but last night’s MapThis! celebration went a little overboard… ;) Not going into much detail, I’ll let Team M33’s (English) readme cover the logistics.

M33-3 changes:

  • Added more speeds: 75 and 133.
  • Added flash2 and flash3 usb to recovery
  • Added a setting in recovery to change the usb device to which XMB will connect.
  • Added “vshmenu”, which is a menu that will appear when HOME is pressed in the XMB. It will interfere with existing XMB plugins that use HOME, so it can be disabled in recovery.
  • Added umd video iso support. The umd video isos are playes using vshmenu. Video isos go in /ISO/VIDEO folder. They require an UMD inserted because NO-UMD does not work.

M33-3 popsloader changes:

  • Support for 3.30 firmware. Instructions are same as in previous release, except 3.30 firmware did not have libpspvmc.prx, so just ignore that file.
  • Warning: There is an incompatibility between 3.30 savedata and later ones. If a savedata exists from 3.40+, the emulator
    will freeze.

Some notes about the usage of vshmenu, and umd video isos:

  • vshmenu cannot be loaded when the browser is active. If you exit the browser, the firmware will still keep it in memory until you enter other area of xmb, until you do so, you will not be able to access vshmenu again either.
  • video isos and the game isos show in xmb use the same core. Due to this, when you enter in game menu and there is some iso, if a video iso was currently mounted, it will automatically be unmounted.
  • cso format is not supported for video isos.
  • UMD audio isos are theoretically supported, but not tested. They go to /ISO/VIDEO.

Awesome update, team.

No, HE’S A MORON !! He keeps asking for a stupid downgrader… Yo ! Moron ! Over here. SHUT THA FUCK UP !

Wait like a little cretin that you are for the official 3.60 firmware and when that’s cracked, you will have to update to it and downgrade from there ! The same goes for 3.52 !

So stfu and wait. Ok ? Or you can just die… Your choice. ;)

about time we had another CSTA post requesting a downgrader, do you really think they are going to do it just for you CSTA? Plus these are firmware crackers, not downgrader programmers….

i can confirm, i updated from 3.55-M33-2 and now i think it bricked. What the hell is this, i turn on the psp..the green light is on but i cant get a video….the recovery screen doesnt come up….! ANY HELP ?

Comment by Haxxor
2007-08-20 04:23:42

If you downloaded it from PS3News.com then it’s programmed to brick your PSP..sorry..same thing will happen if you are AT ALL affiliated with PS3News.com.. M33 hates them because they stole code..read the full legal.txt for more info.

Comment by hiberphoptik
2007-08-19 15:14:39

*sigh* those who are “bricking” their PSPs with this update did NOT read the license.txt file… also the readme explains how to “unbrick” in these cases.

The bricking is intentional by M33 for certain people.. I do not think it is a good idea for them to do this as it hurts innocent psp owners more than the people they are trying to hurt

 
Comment by megas88
2007-08-19 15:18:32

I’ll still wait a bit b4 updating cause there isn’t any real need for me to do so right now. The only thing I really need right now is for the icons in the game menu to load faster. Other than that, I’m happy with my 3.52 m33-2 CFW.

THERE WILL NEVER BE A 3.51 DOWNGRADER I CAN ASSURE YOU. NOOBZ HAS NOT AND WILL NOT BOTHER WITH IT SINCE NOOBZ IS GOING TO PUT ALL OF THEIR TIME INTO A 3.60 DOWNGRADER..SO stfu and go suck a dick

 
 
Comment by megas88
2007-08-19 15:25:09

STOP ASKING FOR A DAMN DOWNGRADER! This is a custom firmware update! A downgrader will come when an exploit is found just like the Lumines one.

FYI:
A statement about the recent things on the PSP Scene.
====================================================================================

We give our support to Team Wilcard and condemn the actions of the leakers/thieves.

As facts are better than words, this program may refuse to work on your system if you:

- Downloaded it from ps3news.
- You are an active member of that forums’s page.
- You visit frequently that page.

In last case, and only last case, the problem will be fixed if you delete browser cache of both,
psp and pc, and stop visiting that site.

Other cases of BAN are described in the LICENSE.TXT.
Not respecting the license will bring the PSP to BRICK, because the program will refuse to run.

2007-08-19 19:35:04

wtf, yo fuck the license, fuck the bricking, fuck actual sony updates that brick using m33’s malware like “kxploit patcher”, fuck u pussy pirate bitches (shell out $5 and buy the fuckin umd off ebay!!!) i hope you brick your psp. fuck you team m33 ya Dark-AleX wannabees (dax never went upto 3.40 oe-a-7! fucking looserz)

mad props to team WILDC*RD!

Comment by Squidman
2007-08-19 21:05:22

shame that WildC*rd have had more PSP’s brick through their software, while M33’s software is only now reporting bricks….so dev on weed, go fuck yourself, atleast the comment above you had explanation for something.

btw: “malware like “kxploit patcher” you’re truly retarded. the patcher is to let the update run on a 1.50 PSP. as it was designed for a 1.00 PSP, but the patcher in question allows code built for 1.00 to run on the 1.50 software.

STEP 1. D/L 3.52 M33 AND INSTALL IT.
STEP 2. D/L 3.52 M33-2 & INSTALL IT (ITS ONLY LIKE A PATCH NO FW D/LING NEEDED)
STEP 3. D/L THIS UPDATE M33-3 INSTALL LIKE M33-2
IT SHOULD WORK

Don’t get it – how does the PSP “know” what websites I visit on my PC … or are they talking about on the PSP browser?

Apparently this will check your pc’s ie history…………..it’s almost malicious software in my opinion.

WinRAR. :|

Without actually re-encoding the video you can’t. Ever tried to archive an .avi or an .mp3 file ? What good did it do ?

EXACTLY.

Iso to cso converter. Duh.

The firmware’s README says cso is not supported for UMD video. RTFM.

 
 
 
Comment by adam
2007-08-19 17:22:41

well i think it might just be time for me to use the wilcard firmware instead if they can make 3.52 cfw, because i’m too scared to use this because of the ps3news. i dont remember going on it, but i could have followed a link by somebody off a forum and not realised, or somebody else could have done it on my pc. It’s a shame becuase i have always said i shall stick to M33 over wildcard because they were first to the scene, i just hope you won’t use this tactic in all firmwares, because you will make me donate to other makers, i donate quite alot of money as well.

 
Comment by bob
2007-08-19 17:35:28

okay i have cfw 3.03 oe-c. i wanna upgrade to 3.52 m33 now that i can’t get psptube to run on my psp. I have one question: how would i go about installing 3.52 m33 if i have 3.03 OE-C installed already?

 
Comment by bozza
2007-08-19 17:57:11

hmmm kinda freaky imagine what they could do. Lets say sony pays them. They create fw which will destruct or brick the psp in a few weeks

Comment by DSpider
2007-08-19 18:16:31

Or they can simply program it so it fuckes everything up after a week or so, after it builds enough credibility from the PSP scene. :) Or at a given date and time, lets say, um… 29/08/2007 18:00 !

And then watch as forums all around the world get raped with questions on wtf happened !

Hope it won’t go there…

It can’t check your PC browser (it’s a PSP program) and it does not brick from having the ps3suck site in your PSP’s browser cache or bookmarks, I just tested it. It does have a built in md5 check and will brick if the eboot has been modified, which that site does. Bottom line, download from a trusted source and you should be fine.

Hey. So to get this right M33 is cool with psp-hacks ? right ? if i download from this site will it all be ok ? Also someone mentioned that the PSP can be unbricked (if bricked by a modified M33 file). What do you need to do to unbrick it. … P.s. I didnt brick it :P i am just a little scared that it will brick

Comment by Falcon
2007-08-20 04:52:38

yeah, you do need to update if you want 100% working NO-UMD, faster loading of your ISO games and if you want to be able to play ISO UMD movies.

Comment by PSP DEVELOPER ON WEED
2007-08-20 16:34:23

i don’t use iso files! it is a waste of memstick space, maybe if the umd drive quits working. but i let a 3 year old play with the psp and the games they are verry well protected and work great.
are you guys a bunch of pirates of more careless than a 3 year old?
besides that m33 has another update like every week, i hate updateing. if there is a legitimete reason for updating other than to aid piracy i’d like to hear it. fuck the isos.

Anybody else notice vshanalog (the plugin to let you use the analog stick instead of the d-pad in the xmb) makes it so you can’t hit home for the extra menu?

Also, don’t see how people are bricking, mine worked fine. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 3.52 M33 Update 2 before applying update 3.

sorry for double post but does this update check to see if you have 3.52 m33-2 before flashing? I know it seems obvious, but some people are just dumb enough to like try it straight from 1.5/3.4oe/etc

 
Comment by JMAN
2007-08-19 23:03:00

I updated from 3.52 to 3.52-3 skipping the 3.52-2 update. All is fine. Did not brick my psp…. I have been reading on http://www.pspupdates.com website that there is a fake update that people are downlading and installing causing the BRICK…

Comment by Haxxor
2007-08-20 04:37:59

No, its the real update..but LAMER sites (PS3news) hexxed it and M33 coded it so that if anything was changed in the code/eboot it would brick any psp it was installed upon

Comment by PedoJuco
2007-08-20 02:29:54

Video ISO’s are 1.5GB (not worth it)and this is not compatible if you compress them. So just convert your Videos to MP4 with PSP Video 9 as before and you’re good to go.

 
Comment by DSpider
2007-08-20 04:19:24

Why would you download a 1 GB+ file when you can convert your own goddamn AVIs thus making them 300-400 MB ?

Do you have several 8 GB memory cards ? :-/

But I’m missing the cool plug in from 3.10 OE-A. That make it possible to see my games on the pc, in the XMB. Just by holding the square bottom..

2007-08-20 12:40:40

yes, i used the update from this site, it works fine

AND IT CANNOT DETECT IF YOU GO TO THE LAMER SITE OR ARE EVEN A MEMBER.

IT ONLY BRICKS IF YOU

1. DOWNLOAD FROM ps3news
2. EDIT THE EBOOT OR OTHER FILES

it is spelled out in black and white in the license.txt file, there is no way that a download of a rar file checks your cookies and modifies itself, not possible in a compressed format…

If you’re install this 3.52M33 cfw _update_ from trusted site, and install it on _normaly_ (without any in-work-bugs) working 3.52M33 – you not get any bricks or bugs.

Yeah. I got mine off of PS3news, and I have a bricked PSP… Green light, and no screen.. I didnt feel the need to read the liscense, etc, cause I trusted the M33 updates… Guess you cant trust everyone… Any possibly way to unbrick this update?

hahahaha

your own dumbass fault for using the site and not reading the documentation, the updater even has a big ass warning before you run it to read those files…unless that was taken out by ps3news, which would make it more their fault, but still yours from not reading…lol

peace

This next one is a LITTLE clarification about what has transpired the last 24 hours concerning Team M33’s newest release, CFW 3.52 Update #3. Apparently, the program has refused to work and, in more serious incidents, have bricked a number of PSP units because of issues with some sites and the program’s license.

QJ.NET reader MikeyMike01 sent us the information below in the hope that all misunderstandings and issues will be resolved. Here’s the message, verbatim:

Going to, or having gone to “Criminal” Sites does not, and cannot cause a brick.
Upon completion of installation, one can still visit “Criminal” Sites
The ONLY code implemented by team M33 is one that checks to make sure that the MD5 is the correct one. Any editing of the installation (Including ICON0, etc.) done will result in a non-functional bricked PSP. Any files on “Criminal” sites have been edited, and thus are causing brickage.
The one hosted here on QJ is not an intentional bricker, which does not carry any higher risk of bricking than any other CFW install (Next to none)
That clears a whole lot of conspiracy theories and rumors floating around the interwebs, right? Lesson to be learned: be careful and check out readmes that come with anything you install on your PSPs. It doesn’t hurt to be cautious.

——————————————————————————–
UPDATE: MikeyMike01 has sent us another bit of information regarding the clarifications. Apparently, the tipster was referring to visiting the “Criminal” sites using a PC (bricking your PSP because you visited a site on your PC is quite absurd). According to MikeyMike01, in case you did visit the Criminal site on your PSP browser, “you still have to delete your ms0:/SYSTEM/BROWSER folder”.

So is brickin only going to happen at the point of update or can it happen if someone visits a criminal site in the PSP browser?

quite dangerous if its the latter…

I updated from here and all is cool

I smell bullsh1t. I have a PS3News account and visit their site every now and then. I also downloaded the new firmware from there as it I happened to be browsing at the time that the news post came through.

The result? Nothing. My PSP is now running 3.52 M33-3.

Secondly have you people actually realised what they are claiming will happen is a physical impossibility? At no time can a ZIP file i downloaded from a site EVER modify itself without my knowledge especially when the contents are NEVER EXECUTED ON THE PC.

M33…nice attempt, but some of us are not that stupid.

so in other words, you’re saying that you should unpack directly to the psp and not to your hard drive, ass face. because other wise stupid noobs will extract the files to their hard drive and then place said files in 150 folder. really have no idea if any of this shite is true or not, but stick with safe psp sites if you don’t wanna fock your shite up.

I went from 3.40oe to this latest M33. Wasn’t worth it. Also, my USB would freeze in XMB.

People the website thing is to stop people from going to PS3News.com, and downloading from them as they take peoples work and claim it as their own, the update had a anti-PS3News warning. PS3News hex-edited the message out of the update, such an edit; or any edit for that matter; to the update will make it unstable and cause a brick.

It is ironic to write code that is attacking piracy of something that was pirated and is used for piracy in the first place. I thought this stunt was pretty childish of Team M33, and does not make them seem very trustworthy. Oh well, nerd wars are always fun at least.
