Team M33 Takes a lil’ Breather

greg | September 22, 2007

And another one’s gone, and another one’s gone. Another one bites the dust. Well, not so much, I just wanted to quote some Queen lyrics. Although, it does appear Team M33 is taking a little hiatus, according to their most recent site update…

After a hard discussion between every member of M33 (3 votes against 2), we have decided to take a little break before releasing anything else. (Take it as the russian winter that might come even when there is sun in front of us)

The main reasons for this decision are as follow:

First, looking at how have things have come since we started our work, we now know how might have felt other developers when there are much other interests that don’t benefit to the entire Scene. We all know what we are talking about, and we will make our best to eradicate all of this rotted side of the world in which we are nowadays, in the near future.

Second, to teach a lesson. A mayor percentage of the PSP (and others) Scene(s) has to think about what it has come into since there are lots and lots of people that just want to steal money and attention when they don’t even deserve it. This has existed since the beginning, and this is, clearly, to that hackers-wannabe that modify a couple of files and want to be acclaimed as a God-like.

And third, to have fun looking at how all this lamers that steal codes don’t know what to do when there is no binaries or sources to modify ;-) Ok, that last one was kidding a bit… but that doesn’t mean that it’s not right :-P

…I’m glad these dudes still keep their sense of humour after all the wanksters perpetrating the scene.

By now you’re most likely wondering, “omg, omg, omg… what about custom firmware 3.71-M33?!” They complete their letter of absence by stating 3.71-M33 *is* finished and will be released upon their return. So, sit tight, chill with the flaming, and enjoy everything these talented Russians have brought us up to this point.

Respect.

There will always be new ones and they will most likely come back sometime also think when da left wildcard and m33 came and now when m33 leaves there will maybe be a new cfw creator team to take the lead in cfw who knows

Team M33 are amazing…they have integrity, they always speak honestly and are very hard and accomplished workers…they deserve to take a much needed break. There’s nothing huge between FW 3.60 and 3.71 anyways other than having the most current FW available. I’m looking forward to more slim compatable emulators. Great job thus far team M33, enjoy your break and we look forward to seeing your return!

(a copy of my qj post)
first off, F*CK ALL YOU A**HOLES for talking crap about M33.

its THEIR codes. if they dont want to release it yet, its their choice. they WILL let it out eventually, just not yet. and the way you are all acting, you dont even deserve it. you’re all acting like a bunch of kids.

and just because someone else wants to release a CFW (AoP) they’re stealing from M33? thats bullsh*t too. they just want to do something for the scene, and everyone is talking crap about them.

f*ck all you sh*t talking a**holes

This isn’t right. It’s like M33 is taking a leave of absence just because of all these lame jerks that modify one or two files and claim that they’ve created a CFM. Why should we suffer?

Take a break if you want. Everyone who is flaming is really just a noob with no experience anyway. Want it? Do it yourself, upgrade to Sony’s FW, or use what you got.

u guys rock. take a break. you deserve it. not many people can continue a legacy as great as dark alex and improve upon it. just dont take too long of a break ya know? were waiting for that CFW.

 
Comment by wtfs?
2007-09-22 15:48:26

Why release 3.71 M-33 on their return? By that time, it will probably be obsolete. And besides, there are a bunch of custom-firmware-hungry people that have been waiting a while for this. It just seems a bit illogical to me.

Comment by dave
2007-09-22 15:54:57

That’s possible.
But perhaps this is a good thing in the end. Sony is trying hard to step up security wise and fails every time. If no-one releases a custom firmware based on their latest firmware, perhaps they might actually develop something new and usefull for the psp.

In the end, I’m sure they have their reasons for the short hiatus.

M33 are doing it so AoP dont steal their code. Lame as most of M33’s code is stolen from DA’s OE fw

2007-09-22 16:00:56

eep!

@wtfs - Just cause there’ll be a new firmware out (unlikely) by then, doesn’t mean this one won’t work. no games will come out for a while that’ll be forced to use 3.71.

But i’d like to ask… I bought Daxter from sears yesterday, and it may be the greatest hits… So, if it requires 3.6 or .71, will I be able to use a version changer the that, as it was designed for 2.6, or do I just gotta wait?

idiot…..
m33 did a good work but now it´s over,team m33 will never come back - and 3.71M33 will never be released.
because the code of the original 3,71 firmware is a lot different than the firmwares before,
i think it takes a while to complete 3,71 without bugs :)

sry for my eng.

okay here is what i don’t get… team m33 cries hard about people stealing thier code.. but yet dax started cfw and they got code from him, but hold on… all this code is STOLEN FROM SONY FOR A DEVICE FROM SONY, yet these guys bitched about 3.40 LE when they had 3.5x already. so bloody what if some retard thought they were a hacker and released a OLD firmware, so does this mean if someone makes a 2.50 leaked fw, and claimes that they are the god-like hacker (btw everyone will know it is a lie, who wants a OLD update anyway) that m33 is going to leave? well don’t leave m33 you guys rock, just stop being hippocritical (

m33 firmware is completely seperate from sony’s firmware. In fact, no source comes from sony firmware(you must provide the 3.51/1.5 update eboots). They were ‘whining’ about people stealing the code the wrote that dual boots the firmwares. Dax supplied his source for his origional firmware specifically for groups like m33.

If someone still doesn’t know how its going there i could tell it a simple way: against a law? - you need a gun…
In Russia there are usaly cold and long winters, hope that m33 team doesn’t live in the cold part ;)
As for the wannabes…
There always will be dumbasses, i have the same problem in Pawn, first 3 months i tried to fight against it, now… i understand that their modifications make many many leeks and they can be easly hacked :P

M33 What is your problem?
Since PSP hacking started there has been bitching between coders. “You stole my code”
“You Copied our work” are you kidding me!!!!
Everyone knows that you guys are currently the best PSP coders on the planet!!!!!!!and this includes sony themselves.
When people mimik you, you should take it as a compliment. I suggest you release 3.71M33 and take the praise for as long as it lasts.
However I doubt that you have finished it at all!!!!
More like you are handing the cap around to get these kids to pay you!!!!!!
Sony have looked at DA’s firmware with release of the source code and made the necessary changes to 3.71 to stop you guys in your tracks.
Stop making excuses and step up to the plate.
Otherwise I think like most people that you have finished it is BULLSHIT.

And all the idiots screaming bullshit where the first in line to jump on the banwagon when they put out the first of the new CFW. Those same fools are at it again screaming bullshit; and they will be there with there hands out when the 3.71 M33 is released.

Without you guys around, no one here would be downloading, or making this PSP-hacks popular, or making Sony PSP the ultimate handheld device gaming experience.

2007-09-22 18:54:30

M33 has taken over the role of DAX…we’ll see what happens in the meantime, but I doubt there is anyone on the scene right now as talented as M33. How long was the Slim even out before they had CFW for it? I’m guessing we won’t see any new CFW until they come back, depending on how long they wait, of course. Eventually, someone will be able to accomplish the same thing, but if you have any doubt that they are telling the truth about finishing 3.71 M33, then you’re either an idiot or haven’t been paying attention.

 
Comment by gamer
2007-09-22 18:56:54

“Seems the OE source code leak wasn’t only beneficial to CFW developers; it gave Sony a couple clever ideas too. Sony’s latest firmware includes several interesting changes which hinder Team M33’s current developments.”

whats the matter m33, cant do it ?

You obviously not coders or you wouldn’t bitch about somebody taking some time off.

3.71-M33 will arrive, as did 3.52-M33.

 
Comment by Bourne
2007-09-22 20:14:14

I’ve said it before and will say it again, M33 basically stole DAX’s code the hard way by reversing it, yet DAX didn’t All their work is just modified versions of DAX’s OE FW alongside OFW updates and fixes.

They think it is OK for themselves to reverse DAX’s OE firmware and steal his code and use it as their own while they think their code is precious. M33 think we owe them for their work, but we don’t. They chose to develop CF so tough shit. DA didn’t bitch half as much as these ‘tards are and most importantly DAX wasn’t greedy enough to setup a PayPal donation.

Looks like money is pouring in through Paypal. No wonder theyve become so spoilt
