Custom Firmware 3.71-M33 Released!

greg | September 23, 2007

I just shit my pants… After much drama Team M33 has finally decided to release their new custom firmware — 3.71 M33! Get it while it’s hot folks!

Just to be clear — please make yourself aware that 1.50 kernel enabled homebrew WILL NOT WORK with 3.71 M33, yet… As mentioned below, “the main installer will not install 1.50 kernel anymore. A 1.50 kernel addon for 3.71 M33 that will install inside 3.71 M33 will be released in a few days (for fat only)”.

3.71-M33 changes:

  • Now uses 3.71
  • VSH Menu is not longer launched using HOME key, but using SELECT now. This is to not interfere with the XMB function of home, which is now more useful in this firmware.
  • Psp Slim: umdcache was allocating memory even when homebrew was launched, wasting memory that homebrew programs may want to use. Now umdcache module is stopped before it can allocate any memory, only in the case homebrew is launched. Also, memory is unprotected for user memory usage by M33 core (only when homebrew is launched). Developer, for a sample of how to use the extra memory, see the extra ram sample of the M33 sdk.
  • Both version boot now from 3.XX ipl, and are independent of 1.50.
  • The main installer will not install 1.50 kernel anymore. A 1.50 kernel addon for 3.71 M33 that will install inside 3.71 M33 will be released in a few days (for fat only)
  • Note: due to some changes in kernel nids by Sony, you can expect a lot of kernel plugins not working anymore. Programmers: refer to the sdk readme for details.

Installation requirements: A fat PSP with 3.52 M33-3 or 3.52 M33-4. Previous versions of M33 won’t work, due to a bug that affects them and OE; or a PSP Slim with 3.60-M33. Instructions can be found in the always important readme.txt. Resort to our forums should you encounter problems or difficulties.

No time for chit-chat, must go install. Enjoy!

Huge props to Team M33, Dark_AleX, and everyone else involved with the development of custom firmwares.

Download:
CFW 3.71-M33
FW 3.71 Update EBOOT

P.S. I found this interesting: on Team M33’s site, it’s stated, “M33 == Dark_AleX.” Also, dark-alex.org now points to M33’s site. Could it be?! Yes, of course it is!

Thanks for the heads up, EvilSeph

3.71 M33 will be the last release from DA aka M33

Comment by Darius Sinclair™
2007-09-23 22:01:01

I bet we can expect another AKA from DA. He’ll pop up again somewhere else. First Spain, then Russia, next… Let’s wait and see.

Dark_Alex has also confirmed that he is the M33 team and has told MaxConsole exclusively he decided to reveal his secret identity because it is one of his last releases as he has gone as far as possible with PSP custom firmware.

don’t tell me you didn’t see this coming,
i mean darkalex announces that he’s leaving the scene and then out of nowhere appears a “team” equally talented in developing cfw and picks up from where da stopped.

Comment by Aures
2007-09-24 11:12:59

But after a couple of M33’s interviews, especially when said “Hey, DAX, if you’re reading this, we expect you to contact us at this [email]“, everybody forgot about the DAX=M33 hypothesis.

There is one slight over looked text issue. When changing from the 1.50 kernel to 3.71 kernel in the recovery the text still says 3.52 not 3.71 under.

Hey, heres a thing that i don’t understand :/
it says it requires a Fat ass PSP, but there it uses the 1.50 kernel etc…
But i can’t see any connection to the 3.71 on a Slim, more on the Fat ass…
Is the 3.71 M33 also on the fat ass PSP?

2007-09-23 16:58:34

Wow, thanks DA/M33.

On another note, this “scene” has gotten bloody hilarious..all that drama during the ps3news vs scene …lets hope Team Wildcard and that other team (AoP?) can meet up with the standards set by DA, our beloved PSP God working in the shadows

I’m pissed off with some of you lot thinking it’s Dark Alex. IT PROBABLY ISN’T! Stop f*****g giving someone credit that is likely to have nothing to do with it, the coding is totally different. Besides even if it was, YOU and I do not know so act grown up and don’t keep praising Alex until you got proof. Anyone could do this if they had the skill and time.
He said he didn’t want to do this constantly because (basically) he wanted an outside life, most of you who are adamant it’s him are basically saying that’s all he does. Shame on you.

how the fuck do you know the coding is totally different? did you compare both source codes (OE – M33)?

I would praise DA even if he took a shit on my front lawn. He pretty much kept the scene alive and gave people hope that all firmwares could be hacked. If DA is M33 then its all good to me.

Some of you really are idiots. I never said he didn’t and I think he did a great job. Maybe it’s you who needs to read before commenting. Fool. I just think you aught to be grateful that someone is doing this for big noses such as yourself so shut the hell up.

Comment by DarkKnight666
2007-09-24 12:44:27

Use Pandora’s Battery buddy, it is probably the only way to downgrade to 1.50 and then install 3.52 M33 and the 4th update, then you can update to 3.71 M33, but I suggest to stay at 3.52 M33-4 for the time being…

I can’t help but think that if d_a were involved, Us Fatties wouldn’t be left without our 1.5 kernel – especially after a break like that.
Next thng you know there’ll be a post tomorrow saying the addon is finished and working but won’t be out until October, because they want to go on vacation.

Comment by lpopman
2007-09-24 05:02:46

To get wlan working, just power down completely, remove the battery and power cord, reconnect power and battery then switch on your psp.

If your battery is a pandora, you might want to leave it disconnected.

PS I am typing this message on my psp 3.71M33 so my wlan is working.

Nice to see a new Custom Firmware release (I’m still using 3.40OE though) and this who’s Dark Alex soap opera is pretty damn hilarious. :) The man created a myth around his person, not bad. :P I for myself don’t know what to believe, on one hand I have no problems to believe DA=M33 as they released the next CFW’s pretty fast after DA’s departure, on the other hand DA’s releases had higher quality (for me at least, not meant to diss M33’s work!) so it is equally possible DA != M33. In either case, thanks for releasing the Firmwares, without them I could not code for my PSP and the whole PSP scene would be boring. So whoever created this FW, mad props and somehow I’m sure it won’t be the last released CFW. At least I hope so! :)

so you work for sony eh.
just get the soucre code from SCEJ & give it to M33.

i bricked my psp when trying to put my old opening_plugin.rco files on my 3.71 M33.
So im looking for pandora’s battery in the South west of the UK (mostly west devon). e-mail me @ mattomcorp@googlemail.com if you got pandora’s battery & live in devon.

You are brilliant DAX! But what about ‘Team M33′ working with team wildcard? What was that whole sourcecode story about then? And are we forgetting something, everybody who has ever cussed team M33 for not being Dark-alex, look atyourself now fools.. though you should never do that anyway.. a CFW maker is still dedicating it’s time to the scene.

Comment by Minotaur
2007-09-23 18:56:23

Surely a custom firmware without 1.50 homebrew support built-in really implies that it’s purpose is for piracy? M33’s arguments about “unlocking” the PSP don’t really stand up unless they do it themselves…

Comment by chuckstudios
2007-09-23 21:07:24

They include an SDK for 3.71 so that homebrew developers can use 3.71’s kernel.

 
 
Comment by Minotaur
2007-09-23 18:59:04

Another thing, M33 == Dark_AleX could imply that M33 has become equal to Dark_AleX – thats what the statement means in C programming. Doesn’t mean they’re the same person though :)

Comment by Dark Alex == M33 || Dark Alex != M33
2007-09-23 19:37:50

I’d say they had written M33 = Dark_AleX then. :) For me, the == means they are absolutely equal and thus the same person. :) However, I find this all bloody hilarious, thanks DA/M33 for entertaining me. ;)

And in the next episode next week we’ll see:

does cmp.l M33,Dark_AleX set the zero flag?
is Dark_AleX a Sony employee?

All this and more in the next episode of “Dark_AleX – man, myth, mystery”

:D

 
Comment by psylink
2007-09-23 21:36:54

Depends on how you read it.

M33 = Dark_AleX implies that M33 is to become equal to Dark_Alex.
M33 == Dark_AleX implies that some form of check for equality is to occur… ie: IS M33 == Dark_AleX.

I dunno – mebbe he is, and he’s just used to writing it. Maybe Not. CFW is CFW, regardless of the author in my book.

2007-09-23 19:27:31

upgraded my slim. so far, so good. FFVII still works too (battle swirl and everything). no working popsloader though (poop). the game emulators still work as well (snes, nes, gba, sg, etc…). now, if only my psp slim can transform into a big breasted woman that can clean, cook and spew beer from her nipples, i’d be set for life!!! or until the next cfw comes out. way to go dark_33.

Love it. See no real reason to upgrade from 3.52, but then again, I saw no reason to upgrade from 3.40oe either, yet did.

Question though: Does this mean DA is back (again), or that he was silently working with M33 all along (possibly the creator and all members at the same time…)?

Hahahhaa… Here’s hoping Dark Alex can now move on to bigger and better things (like maybe a job with six figures) so he doesn’t have to spend all his free time arguing with ten year-olds anymore.

I thought the whole M33 thing was kinda silly… but hey! Thanks for the memories! :)

D_A, if you really are M33, why do you even bother releasing an incomplete cfw? These updates are so unlike D_A that I am still highly doubtful about the team members of M33.
Seriously, if it’s got things missing (like 1.50 kernel support), why even release it?

Comment by heydabop
2007-09-24 01:12:25

Because this release also goes o the psp slim, which can’t use 1.50 kernel.

Watch out for this release. After it “corrects” the idstorage you might not be able to go back to previous firmware versions, because the corrent keys brick T082 under those versions.

Comment by raddad
2007-09-24 03:07:48

why would you want to go back
wont be long and themes will be coming out
so far it does all 3.60 did just prx dont work
but the new source codes were released so will
be better than 3.60 soon
“DA COMES THROUGH AGAIN”
enjoy while you can as this maybe it for CFW

Damn you are once lucky SOB
just copy the Update folder on this release into your game folder. Then copy 371.PBP into that update folder.
You nearly ended up with with the official 3.71 firmware, which would be ok if you had a fat with pandora battery but if you have a slim you would have been fucked.

Comment by Hmmm
2007-09-24 05:19:25

Sounds fishy to me.

M33 is D_A, no 1.5 support, early release. One would think it would have 1.5. I’m gonna stay with 3.52.

To me it sounds like “m33/D_A (aka sony!)” are trying to rid of all psp capable of running homebrew.

Has anyone tried using pandoras on 3.71 m33 to revert back to 1.5?

I could be wrong, but I dont think a 1.5 patch for 3.71 will be released.

Dont upgrade yet! wait till “the pacth”, and has been tried.

I cant conplain though, 3.52 owns, and thanks!

 
Comment by Ricco
2007-09-24 05:34:25

1st of all
thanks to M33,the firmware installation are similiar as official one,i have no worry for that.
review by myself,this new firmware i think it actually want to fight with ipod with mp4 player,cause with the skip and back system added,we can add some MV to watch and watch it easily,and maybe….the sony are try to make something similar like SE phone’s theme,can change any theme at any time at theme setting,of course still need to research,this is just a possibility.
disadvantage:if the vsh menu like before should be ok,BUT the new firmware are change the vsh assign button to select,just one question,when typing words like in the web explorer,how to change the fonts?
for ppl still wanna play with the application with psp,well,i will say that,wait for next update come,then it maybe can use the application,again…….

Yeah, it happened to me once, I redid Pandora’s Battery and fixed it. I installed 3.52 M33-4, and it was buggy like wallpaper erasing, etc. So I used Pandora’s Battery once again and reinstalled 3.52 M33-4 and Voila, fixed it somehow, lol. Now the problem is 3.71 M33, I don’t have Pandora’s battery anymore, I have to borrow a PSP from somebody because 3.71 M33 doesn’t allow me to make the Battery installer. Hope the 1.50 Kernal comes out fast!

What if M33 were in-fact Sony, and gave the Dark AleX name to give it credibility?

And then this new release comes out with a promised 1.5 add-on, but the add-on never comes.

And you can’t restore to previous versions?!!!

Installation instructions:

Copy the UPDATE directory into /PSP/GAME/UPDATE

Name the EBOOT.PBP of the 3.71 Sony updater to “371.PBP”.

Copy the “371.PBP” of the 3.71 Sony updater to into /PSP/GAME/UPDATE
Note: the program will not even show if you copy it to a different folder than that.
Example:
ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/371.PBP
ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP
ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/umodule.prx

If you are in the fat psp, make sure you have configured the psp to run the game folder in the 3.XX kernel.

Execute the program.
It requires 78% of battery. If you have idstorage corrupted due to a downgrader, the program will ask you to correct it automatically so the update can continue.

Press X, and the Sony updater will begin.
Sit and enjoy while Sony code installs 3.71 M33

When finished, the updater will ask you to reboot (pressing X or O). DO IT. Do not skip this step shutting down the psp by yourself, or you’ll end with a brick. http://trading-post.sytes.net:6969/forum/viewtopic.php?p=564#564

Wait hold on a second. On the M33 site (or should I say Dark_Alex’s site) it says a PSP Unbricker will be released for both Fat and Slim PSPs. But there’s already a PSP Fat (or PSP 1000) Unbricker, the Pandora’s Battery. Does this mean M33/Dark_AleX will be creating an unbricker that doesn’t require a battery?

take a linux for a sample…
The kernel is the main code wich containts all programms on the linux system.
PSP system isn’t much diferent from the Linux…
The 1.50 kernel is the base system of the 1.50 Firmware, 1.5 because homberew allowed, but i think that homebrew allowed is 1.0 not 1.50 :P

well you will need to goto the recovery menu . seleced advance and clicking on usb flash1.
there you will find a file “config.se ” .delete and it will work(dont worry , this file wil reappear when you start up your psp)

Usualy I do not make puns in my comments…but if Russians consider a vacation to last 3 days, I seriously think you need a real vacation.

As far as this may be the last custom firmware, I dont blame him. Dax consealed his identity as M33 in an attempt to get the respect he lost as Dax….well, mabye not respect, the squabbling that existed, and the bad mouthing. It was an experiement, thats obvious by his announcment that MM 3.71 would be delayed, albeit finished. This is what did him in, as its the exactly same sistuation the last time.

For those of you who live near London or the south of england, there is a guy that will upgrade/downgrade the firmware on your PSP for £5. You can catch him at the British Computer Fair @ Ashburton High School this Sunday and every other Sunday. Some of you already know him as he’s always had the same spot at the fair for years (this was the guy who originally chipped my first ever playstation over 11 years ago). He also chips Xbox 360s, Wii’s, DS, and PS2s.

Anyway I just thought I’d let you know as I see some of you are having problems and this guy has a 100% sucess rate (as far as I know). So you might as well get it done by a professional. Just search google for British Computer Fairs to see when their about.

I know this will only help a fraction of you as most of you probably don’t live in the UK but hey…. What can I do?

Good Luck!

I am starting to wish that the psp would just die. Seriously look at all this shit. The hackers/coders really deserve a lot of credit and respect regardless of whether or not they came up with the whole idea or they just reverse engineered the whole thing.

For all hose people talking trash, seriously, put something out or shut up. For those that are just helpless with everthing and need everyone to answer shit for them just go click on the link, read he files and try to understand for yourself.

This scene has become totally dependant on one group/person and so there is not enough work going ino it from other groups.

I feel really bad for these guys like Dark Alex, Fanjita, and the others who have left the scene. You guys made them hate something they loved.

Sadly no one is gonna read this and chances are I am gonna get flamed but who cares, it had to be said.

“You guys made them hate something they loved.”

Speak for yourself. If your love for something is dependant on being praised constantly, then you live in a fantasy world and are a thin-skinned crybaby. Focussing on the ‘bad’ comments over the praise is no way to treat fans. You don’t deserve them if you don’t care about what they have to say. In closing, are a slimy obsequious scumbag, so FUCK OFF.

I for one, am ecstatic to see the 3.71 firmware out and will await the arrival of the 1.50 package.

Comment by Jesse
2007-09-26 08:49:36

Fuck you dip shit! The whole thing I meant was this whole “GIMME GIMME GIMME” bullshit. I was not talking about criticism. I was talking about the rampant assholish behavior that retards like you seem so happy to demonstrate.

“I for one, am ecstatic to see the 3.71 firmware out and will await the arrival of the 1.50 package.”

That more of the shit I am talking about. You just want them to keep doing this shit for you until you are satisfied.

You’re the one that should fuck off dip shit.

This firmware works fine for me. However, until 1.50 kernel is released, I can’t run homebrew. Also, without recovery yet, this installation is a bit of a gamble. On a side note, one of my friend’s bricked his PSP trying to change the theme in flash0, when recovery comes out, is it still possible to run recovery without the 1.50 kernel?

 
Comment by drmadcow
2007-09-25 15:08:30

yeah fuck this shit. no 1.50 kernel?? no recovery?? what the fuck were they thinking even releasing this now my PSP is about useless after trying to flash a custom topmenu. I got to wait til when AND IF a 1.50 kernel .prx comes out to even be able to recover. no battery here so im fucked. this CFW wasn’t worth it

Comment by Tom
2007-09-26 07:31:56

Sony is pretty clever. Prior to the 3.60, all updates were in fact, entire copies of the firmware. Now that 3.70 and 3.71 are out, its obvious the updates are just upgrades, without the complete PSP firmware isntalled. How do I come to this conclusion? Both PSP, fat and lite, can be upgraded with the same EBOOT. Since the eboot is much less than 30 mb, and the slim psp’s flash is close to 64mb, and the fact that different things are installed for both systems, it is just an upgrade, updates certain parts and keeps others previously installed the same.

What does this mean…its too early in the morning for an analysis.

Oh, and 3.71mm can run the exact same homebrew as 3.60 on the slim. Look around, your favorite stuff like Reg and Super Nintendo, Atari and Gameboy work, just need the 3.xx verison. Sad though PS1 doesnt yet.

One more comment, if DAX does indeed create Pandora 2, which can downgrade both systems, what does he need to continue work for? Everything we have hoped for will be accomplished. You may say it wont run the newest games…what about that? What about it…if you want to run illegal games thats your buisness, but as far as ‘legal’ homebrew is concerned, everything that can be done has.

Comment by eddib
2007-09-26 11:22:59

yes, but i want to be able to play future games that will require a newer fw, let’s say 3.80.
so then it’s back to official fw? no, we need developers making the most recent CFW for ever. long live homebrew!

DAX is not M33 people get that thru your fucking heads, he was a member of M33~!!!OnE11shift11

You disparage all the great work done by the other members when you keep crapping on about dax and ignoring everyone else.

goto the recovery menu (holinf r whhen starting up)delete the config.se from flash1 (this will default all the setting in the recovery menu) you will find it under advance setting

irshell doesn’t work because you can’t enable the prx. If you try, PSP crashes. You then have to remove the mem stick to access recovery, refit it and disable the prx again. Thought I had a brick for a while there.

Oops wrong bit. You can’t change from the official firmware as sony put code in to prevent you doing it. You need Pandoras battery (Ask someone else).

Honestly, this firmware doesn’t offer anything better currently over 3.52-M33-4. The only plug-ins I use are the screenshots plug-in and now that doesn’t work, and the poor excuse that has shown up over the last few days is just pitiful. Tried it, didn’t like it. Going back down to 3.52 M33-4. Currently the only use this has is if you need to play something that asks for firmware this high.

hi, guys. I’m happy to have Slim & Light model and the latest custom firmware. Now it’s my first time to face a problem like this. I downloaded Castlevania DX and when I run it it gives me a black screen and nothing happens. I can returne back to the menue screen by pressing the Home botten. I need help with that.

oh, that’s OK. I have fond the problem. I changed the configuration of my psp it works very well with the game. Even I’m dissappointed with the level of this game, but still I’m happy that to have this kind of experience to not have any porblem in the future. :)
