M33 Custom Firmware 3.52 Update #4 (3.52 M33-4)

greg | August 20, 2007

Just a quick one…

  • Fixed the bug that caused CRC error when writing to flash usb in the XMB. Now writing is OK.
  • Added the new speeds to vshmenu and core, because we forgot in recovery.

AS we didn’t want to release a new update without something new, we worked in making 3.10/3.11 to work with popsloader, and that’s it, the new popsloader plugins supports them. Instruction for 3.10 and 3.11 are same as 3.30: you need pops.prx, popsman.prx and pafmini.prx with the correct names in popsloader directory. And remember that savedata of 3.10-3.30 are incompatible
with those of 3.40+. We’ll research if a solution for this is possible.

The update is safe, I can assure you this. Details concerning the recent bricks and whatnot, have a glance over the “README_EN.TXT” file. It’s rather humorous. Kudos Team, stick it to ‘em!

Thanks gamermanpsp

popsloader - is kernel of your PSX emulator.
In different _official’s_ fw - _different_ versions of popsloader.
Plugin, that comes with 3.52-2-3-4 updates, can select the kernel (popsloader version) of PSX emulator, and you can select the optimal version for you.

Works sweet! great job.
Question?
How do you mount your video iso?
Mine is in the correct directory \ISO\VIDEO\Movie.iso
But iI do not see it any where? UMD is inserted and UMD Normal Mode.
Home key shows the ISO VIDEO MOUNT but can’t change it from none?
How do I get this mounted. Should it show up in the game menu with the other iso’s?

Another sweet update!-+———————-

press “home” button to access vhs-menu, and select your iso.

Comment by !!!!!!!
2007-08-22 14:28:54

Hey mate, listen, if you really like the benefits of 1.50 you have nothing to lose from upgrading to 3.52m33…….why? because its like having 3.52 and 1.50 running at the same time. E.G: if say you wanted to run a game emu that required 1.50, all you need to do is place the emu and roms in the GAME1.50 folder. Plus you have ISO loader which means you no longer need fastloader to load ISO’s. But if you really want to flash back and forth try using psp upgrader/downgrader by bob joe it will make very easy work of it.

I’ve been getting some lock-ups on these M33 FWs. I don’t know why, but, the only way I can access my files through USB, is through the recovery menu. It locks up trying to do it through the XMB, same goes for trying to connect to the internet, and a couple of other things. Maybe if I get a fresh copy of 1.5 and then put M33 back on here? It’s really annoying.

Comment by P$P1.5

Have you reset to default settings? Are you using unstable custom icons/font… etc.

Comment by Mac
2007-08-21 18:25:31

Yep, every thing is on default, switched back to default XMB icons/fonts, still does it. I don’t know why. How would one go about re-flashing 1.5, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve done it.

Downgrader from official Sony 3.52 firmware is extremely difficult to find and it is not available here due to copy rights. Use Google… you will succeed sooner or later. In the meantime read more about your PSP on this site.

OK Good Work M33, although there a lot of updates and stuff :D IMO I think you guys should get all the bugs fixed in one go instead of a update every week. So if you get it all fixed up in my FW and then updates for major bugs, it will be much better instead of bits and bits of the update. Anyway good work there, cheers. BTW anyway to turn of the M33 VSH MENU when you press HOME

Comment by DSpider
2007-08-21 09:50:54

Would you rather they release a *final* version, let’s say, um, 3.52-X and never release the update just because it’s not “final” ?

Let them do their work. After all, it’s up to YOU if YOU and only YOU choose to update or not.

Hold on, let’s make a bet to see if these guys will ever release a STABLE release for us.

 
Comment by Cacus
2007-08-21 11:51:39

Can I just say to all the moaning twats **** off. If you don’t like the custom firmwares then go back to the Sony ones. M33 give you the ability to use ISO, homebrew etc and all you can do is bitch!

Comment by Mr Boogaloo
2007-08-21 19:28:06

So does Dark_AleX’s CFW and I’m still using the 3.40 OE which is STABLE and still runs the latest games ;D

I guess your one of those guys tha thinks M33 are liek wow so l33t and shit. But then explain why they need to bring out so many patches? I’m guessing those people that brinked their PSP from having to upgrade to shitty M33 are fuming right now.

It’s like Your-Mom fansub group if you ever watch anime and download their torrents. Let me explain, they are NOT the best group out there if they release stuff faster than anyone else. I prefer a fansub group that takes time with their releases rather than a speedsub group. Same thing applies here.

Oh and another thing, I do believe this is opened fro comments so that M33 and the likes can get feedbacks from comments and so, we, the “guinea pig” for M33’s dodgy releases are the testers for there shit and so therefore, we have every right to moan and bitch ;D

Comment by wow
2007-08-21 23:43:19

The M33 crew needs to grow the fuck up. I like the stuff they have released but really. Making the users pay for someone elses mistake is pathetic.

I resent them more than the ps3news people. Grow up people. It is your fucking fault you put in the malicious code in which bricks psp. You knew that this would happen and peoples psp’s would brick. This makes you jerkoffs. Frickin hell, my donation is going elsewhere now. If they are going to pull crap like this i would rather they start hacking the gizmondo rather than putting in code they know will (directally or indirectally) cause peoples psp’s to brick.

2007-08-21 12:36:02

All I can say is I like the customfirmwares that aren’t so needy. I can already use ISO, CSO, and all the homebrew I want. I have 3.40*LE and the only problem I have is not enough memory when on the net. I appreciate what they are doing, but it’s already been done better so why waste your time on it? If it was REALLY 3.52 that would be cool, but it’s not. I think it’s running 3.10 and emulating 3.52-and that’s just gay. Seriously, why downgrade custom firmware? Why not have 3.40 emulate 3.52? Or just make a new customfirmware 3.52? I just don’t understand how we went from “everything you can do and then some”, to “you have to get a different version, some bootloader, change kernel, change folder name, edit this with notepad, etc” I like seeing new things, but I have yet to find out why this isn’t a waste of development skills. I’m not trying to piss anyone off, just pointing out that there’s better things you could be working on…

Comment by dammit
2007-08-21 23:19:01

forums on this site, I don’t remember exactly which one. Probably another M33 comment page. And if it’s not true, then what exactly is the firmware emulation? because from what I’ve read it’s not really 3.52.

Comment by wow
2007-08-21 23:45:32

the firmware emulation stuff is for POPS only, some of the different firmwares POPS played certain(very limited but a few) psx games better than the newer releases, if you want to play some of those games, you need the older pops…

peace

Comment by dammit
2007-08-22 12:07:38

That’s it? Well then the only other argument is that 3.40*LE has only one GAME folder for all your homebrew, versus GAME and GAME150 and GAME340 and GAME352. So this M33 isn’t bad at all…

plz help me im unsure thnx in advance

Comment by Ash
2007-08-21 15:28:53

you would have to upgrade to 3.03 and use the 3.03 downgrader wich requires an unpatched version of GTA LCS wich has the 2.00 update.
Also, if you can’t find the unpatched version of GTA if you want, you can upgrade to 3.50 and use it’s downgrader, but the catch is……..lumines is required.

so you have two options of downgrading i suggest waiting till you can get a hold of just one of these games before just upgrading to a downgradable firmware

If people choose to download installers/updates from other websites then they are very foolish. If these files are altered by idiots that don’t know what they are doing and cause the update/installer to fail resulting in a bad flash (brick) then these people are to blame not M33.

Keep up the good work M33.
And a thanks to PSP-Hacks for keeping the downloads clear of PSP brickers.

Here’s a link to Popsloader all tested and working.

http://dl2.megauploads.org/download.php?id=36A06AE2

All you need to do is copy to your memstick and enable the POPSLoader in the Recovery menu. IV also included v3.51 and 3.52 so it should be future proof

lol… Just for the fun of it.. I went to the ps2news site (1st time ever) just to see if the had anything to say about M33… it gave me a laugh… they rip people off and the moment someone takes a stand they have a hissy fit…

Dark_AleX, M33, and Wildcard have now publically responded stating they do not intend to stop harassing the owner of PS2Ownz and his family as long as the PS3News Web site is online. First and formost, PS3News.com is a news site and will never be taken offline due to threats made by terrorists regardless of what personal information is published. Secondly, as a result of some irresponsible Web masters failing to comply and remove the personal data the owner of
