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.

sweet stuff :) f
i cant get a music umd too work…guess its not supported…
Nice!
HEY VORSICHT @ ALL!!!
Das 3te Update der M33 bringt nicht nur gutes mit sich.
Es heißt wenn man nicht bestimmte vorkehrungen triffe (ich kenne sie nicht genau), dann kann es bei einigen websites vorkommen, das die PSP BRICKT!!!
ACHTUNG! ERST INFORMIEREN DANN AKTUALLISIEREN!!!
fucking hell sum one make a downgrader 3.51
loads of ppl have been waiting for months!!!!!
You are a DUMBASS!!!
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. ;)
There waiting for the PSP Slim to come out to try to hack the firmware on that. So just be patient.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
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….
dumbass
why do people always ask for downgraders when a cfw update is released. go to hell you assfucking limp dicked faggot
nice work
I’ve heard that it has bricked psps for this update. Can someone confirm if they’ve had problems with m33-3?
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 ?
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.
OMG, umd iso´s?? that’s sweet!!!!!!!!!!
I updated my and it works fine
*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
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.
its been way too long since the lst downgrader
has anyone heard is there will b a downgrader 3.51!!!…???
even if theres word on a progress of how long this will take coz its been way too long
Are you fuckin stupid or something? A downgrader was just released. Why the fuck you think sony released 3.51? 3.50 was hacked.
WOOOOOOOOO YEAH Ive waited since 3.10 to downgrade and now my psp rocks!
i agree man im stuck at 3.51 and i bought my psp off of my m8 but didnt bother to check the fw…..
hope theres a downgrader aoon
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
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.
u guys are retarded just do the wal mart trick if ur tired of waiting -.-
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.
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!
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.
are you qouting tupac ?
How do you install this update? CAn someone give me a step by step?? TIA!
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
please can someone help me. when i try to go on to the internet browser, a blue screen error come up? it is very annying, how can this be fixed? thanks in advance :)
Reset to default settings. It’ll just change name date and time and stuff and your internet browser will then work fine.
cheers worked brilliantly! love you!!! (only joking). (not really). (ya really!) lol thanks
This works fine on my psp, Thanks
Thanks PSP-Hacks , Thanks Team M33 , Thanks Wulfgar for Clean Update ! .
if u a member of ps3news then this will brick ya psp apperntly… dont know how but been proven!
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.
i dont know how it works or if it does but says on there website and others and also a member of PSPDevs forum who also member on ps3news now has bricked psp
just make sure u know where the firmware was released from before u use it and DONT DELETE ANY FILE (README ETC)
works great on mine downloaded it from here.
great update m33 thank you
This is fuking great just dumped a umd movie converted it to iso, and and it works great but its 1.5g. anyone know how to compress a umd movie?
This is fuking great just dumped a umd movie converted it to iso and it works great but its 1.5g. Anyone know how to compress a umd movie?
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
Another upgrade but no PSX disc swapping in popsloader yet >.>
Hope the next one you guys can crack the coding for it.
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
great.. nice update.. and it’s work fine in my psp
just do it works great thanks m-33 love your work no need to go to recovery as all you need is in the xmb dumps games and movies this is so great movies can be edited with umd gen remove update but cant be compressed this is great man anyone scared to try this dont be as it works fine
awsome just did the update OMG!$! umd movie csos OWN MY WORLD KTHX
3.40 oe-a rocks STILL! no need to update ;-)
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.
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.
I just have to take my hat off for this one. TEAM M33 you are doing a KICK A$$ job. I mentioned only 1 time that UMD Video support would be nice to see… Now here we are. Keep up the hard work, dedication, and success. I am a happy user of your firmware
still bugs on this…im waiting.
Has anyone heard anything about how well FF7 plays on this new cfw. i had problems with m33 1, and 2. please let me know.
FF7 plays fine for my m33-2, beaten the entire game actually, without any freezes…
also, fsf, name the bugs please, as i would like to know what they are…
peace
What the hell is a flash 2 and 3 o.o.. Great job though, M33
Hmmm.. well I tried putting on PS1P Alpha 1, PSX-P Alpha 2, and PSX-P Beta 1. None of them worked. I also even tried DA’s. I’m wondering it this has anything to do with this CF?
I have a question, I don’t know alot about this, but is this like devHook, like I have a 1.50 fw psp and i want to flash to 3.52 and use the feautures on it, then flash back, can this do it?
nah, its a cfw, u have the abilities of fw 1.5 and of fw 3.52 at the same time i guess thats the easiest way to put it :)
and theres no need for devhook
you can install cfw ? then use recovery to get back to 1.5 fw but you wont want to m-33 cfw kicks dev hooks ass
Team M-33 Rocks this newest one is so kool
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?
i went from 340 oe to m-33 just download there creator and the firmware follow the readme from team M-33 then update using game150 folder really eazy you dont have to downgrade upgrade with the 352 creator then use the updates
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 ?
jus updated from 3.55-M33-2 and now it bricked. What happen??? when i turn on the psp, there is the green light but i see the startup screen ….the recovery screen doesnt come up….! HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
told yeah theres bugs.
What 3.55 ?? Are you stupid or something ? Sony released up till 3.52 and we can expect 3.60 next month ! WHAT 3.55 ??
Moron…
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.
just reconfig the buttons in the analog txt in seplugins
howd you get that to work? Im on 3.40OE-A and it doesnt work for me :(
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
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…
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
just ran this update and it works great!! Downloaded it from here and runs perfect. Cool features too, love the direct access to the umd from xmb, more like ripping my xbox games now…
peace
Where can i download video ISO’s??? which site? or torrents??
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.
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 ? :-/
hey guys the battery of my psp needs to be at 100 % when i update ?
“oh my M33″ this is so cool now you can accsess the flash0 directly from the xmb…with out having to go in to recovery
WOOT…..WOOT…..
Whao … M33 are some PSP gurus. Great stuff.
lol, Greg must be a moron or he had a big virtual hangover.
theres big fuzz abt this new release with possibility to brick your psp if u modify it, or even have blacklisted nick, or browser cache(means it wont start)
and NOT FKN ONE COMMENT ABT IT IN FRONT page…
what the hell…
i mean (and i do) you have to read readmes all the time and stuff but most ppl wont, (blabla too bad and stit) but still you copied junk and i assume even he didnt read licence…
yeah, and new reader has to read what over 80 post to see this, nice, well done.
How about playing iso games from the pc. I can´t get the IRShel to work, is there another way for doing it. And by the way thanks for the CFW. Have just upgrade from 3.10 OE’A to this on. 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..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HEY GUYS my background image is changing after i put the psp in sleep mod (push the off butten up ). i have firmware 3.52 m33 with update 3.whats the problem , i had this problem before and i`ve fix it with a reinstall firmare ( go to 1.50 and to 3.52 m33 again) and i don’t want to reinstall again.can you help me ?sorry for my english!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I took the risk and YAY IT WORKS! Now to go and find my Batman Begins UMD video.
great job……. but i’m not sure for the true download link !!!! can i download it from here directly ???? plz
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…
peace
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
thx ru 4 your reply
but can u tell me a trusted site
do anyone know if a 3.03 downgrader would come w/o using the gta unpatched version?
I’m 3.03 downgrader ! but what did you mean w/o
w/o = without
so ALL YOU GUYS have the problem with the background ?
greg, u forgot a feature
m33-3 can dump a umd to a computer using vshmenu (usb device)Umd disc
I HAVE WILD CARDS 3.40/3.10 FIRMWARE UPDATE TWO WITH NO PROLEMS SO NO BRICK ING M33 FOR ME
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”.
Does anyone know what the md5 check sum of the correct update is?
Ondra , just download it from QJ site
i update my one from there
hei dogs if you do not want to brick your psp just download your update from this site or the m33`s official site.the update 3 works fine after i downgraded to 1.50 and upgraded to 3.52 m33 update 2- update 3.no more background problems.
what an IDIOT !i`ve told people to download their update from here or m33`s official site because it`s safe.so shut up bob
just to let people know i downloaded my update from here and installed it and it runs perfect :)
BOB u are a freaking noob , u as well throw away your psp , visiting website DO NOT MAKE UR PSP BRICK , it is just M33 trying to scare the user and wanted them to never visit that site , and noob like you who just get scare off so easily , whinning ” it bricks , it bricks ”
READ MORE FORUMS BOB
Does someone know where can I find the prx already decrypted from the older firmwares in other words ready to download. Tks.
how do u boot up the menu in the xmb screen
Press the home button
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.
WOW I went scared when I read the license and the warning before installing. M33 dont do that again!.Forget about those bastards wild c*rd. I am a person that like to visit many pages that are related to psp and ps3.Luckily I didnt visited that page.M33 you should think before you act.Pls dont do it again :( but anyway thanks for the update :)
Catch a fucking wake up….its not real.
hey can anyone help me on what the pops loader is or how to use it i dont know witch one to use when the menu comes up
3.30
3.40
3.51
flash???
can any one help
I used 3.52 M33 FW creator. Went through the whole process and w/e. I checked the System Settings and it said I was still on 3.51 M33 FW. Help?
Thanks for the Update but bricking PSP’s? Whats with that? Next step from bricking psp’s is selling your soul to $ony like DA did. Anyway how about full Res divx/Xvid support?????
works perfect thanks M33
team m33 bitches about “thieves” and foolish crap in the license, but yet they aid in the piracy of umds, and distribute for free, and brick some users psps. dark alex always spoke against piracy! not helped it and criied about people stealing his code
GO BACK OUT AND LOOK AT YOUR BUG FIX’S. I TOLD YOU THERE WERE BUGS AND I WAS WAITING. LOL
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.
I Recommend Not to Apply Patches 3 & 4!
It Will Lead you to More Bugs!
almost shit myself dident relize i colud do umd movie iso :D finally:) now only if i can usb load…
