Dark_AleX Updates — 3.71 M33-2 & 1.50 Kernel Addon 2
greg | October 2, 2007
Two updates from the D man himself…
3.71 M33 Update #2:
- There was a bug that caused corruption when writing files of more than 32256 bytes using usb flash. The bug has been corrected, and now the implementation is as reliable as it was when it was based on 1.50 kernel. (tested with a full restoration of a dump)
- Psp Slim: a functionality to let the charge of battery when connecting a usb cable has been added. This feature is based on Noobz plugin code. By default is not enabled, you can enable it in recovery. Note that the charge of battery may be delayed some seconds since the moment you plug the cable.
- After installing this update, program at /PSP/GAME/UPDATE will always be executed on 3.71 kernel, despite configuration.
- VSHMenu: vshmenu will not be executed when onscreen keyboard is active, to avoid the lost of the select button function in the keyboard. An option to reset the psp has been added.
- VSH plugins are not longer executed anymore in recovery mode, that was the cause of pseudo-bricks.
Two bugs remain: the WLAN network error, and the PSP Slim psx game change of brightness. Dark_AleX notes, “These two bugs are copyright of Sony :) happens too in OFW.”
1.50 Kernel Addon #2:
- When returning from sleep mode, 3.71 ipl was executed causing an inmediate crash. Fixed.
Have a good one!

I’m first commenter!
Do I win a date with Dark-Alex?…lol
Keep up the good work amigo!
Do i have to install 1st the 1.50addon b4 the 1.50addon#2 or can i install the 1.50addon#2 DirecTly?
When are they coming out with a mod-chip for the slim edition?
nice!!! I
i was about to comment before you
i already updated even before this was put on the site
wow you’re cool. i wanna be just like you when i grow up. Fucken retards.
Hmm small dick syndrome…..
i have afavour can anyone tell me how to use usbhost with3.71m33
so does this work for the slim…the 1.5 kernel add on
NO
That was a bit angry, why not try calming it down some more?
NO.
FAG.
told you so… haha.. ok now does this work with ir shell yet?
error when unrar
Invalid or corrupt authenticity
That means download it again dude. The file’s corrupt.
i hope this fixes my themes problems too…whenever i install themes i get internall error and so on..
Redownload, zip files sometimes download incorectly. It did the same thing first time I downloaded, retried and worked perfect. Thank you Dax for this update, and I personaly appreciate your efforts. Thank you for everything you have done for the Homebrew PSP community. Farewell and good luck Sir Dax.
just cant stay awwwaaayyyyy…….!!!!
3.52 M33-4 and luvvin my themes/homebrew ;)
Yea, Im staying nice and comfy at 3.52 M33-4 until im REQUIRED to update to play me games.
Same here
i love DA . kekeke
Just updated to 3.71 M33-2 and installed the 1.50 kernel addon 2 and my UMDs aren’t working anymore. After the PSP screen it goes to a black screen and after a few seconds it turns my PSP off. Same thing happens with ISOs / CSOs. Is this happening to anyone else?
try changing the UMD drivers. maybe they were reset.
Trying that now, thanks. Will post results.
I cycled through each UMD mode trying each one and the same thing happens. :-/
the problem is the pluging
My plugins? Disabling them all now and trying again.
Disabled all my plugins and that works. Thanks. :) Too lazy atm to go through each one to pinpoint which one(s) specifically caused my issue.
The plugin that caused all this is music.prx.
does anyone know if DA will release a 1.50 kernel add on for the slim?
1.50 kernel doesn’t work on the slim.
How bout a patch/reverse devhook/somethin? Probably being worked on, but kept secret to keep people from whining that it’s not being done fast enough. Try the Eloader for now. Most 1.5 emus and homebrew load on my Slim with Eloader. (remember they made it for 2.71, not 1.5 as you don’t need an Eloader for 1.5) So try that for now…
Anyone have the issue of the game boot starting then the psp shutting off. I am unable to apply any of these updates…
Game homebrew folder in recovery = 3.71(not 1.5)
Run update = 1 happy psp owner…
Ok.. So I have spent the last hour downgrading from 3.71 M33 because my homebrew did not work with the ad-on… when I got to 3.52 M33 4 I was crashing… Now that I am one more step to get back to my original 3.52 M33 2… He releases an update? WTF? I’m tired of this.. I’m staying at 3.53 M33 2 until I really see a difference….. GOD
well, that’s your problem isn’t it?
fag
is there a tutorial on this? half of the stuff i read on here dosnt make sense to me
i see another brick on the way
hope you you understud how to make a Pandora Battery :-/
When i browsed games on my stick, it was like stuttering, and showing slow framerates(on XMB). Is this fixed? Cause, im back on 3.40OEA because of this…its anoying, at least for me.
Hope this will fix the .txt file that cannot be open in Browser.
just updated to 3.71 m33-2.but when tried to update the kernel andon 2, says incorrect or inexistant.i had already installed the kernel andon 1, with andon 2 i put the update folder in psp/game. but does not worked, any suggestion, thanks for your time
Im having the same problem…
u need to put the 1.50 update into the root of ur psp (150.PBP)
and set the “game folder homebrew” to kernel3xx
(in recovery)
greets from austria
brain
thanks again , it seems like the 150 update file i was using was corrupted, i used a new one and worked, im in debt with you.
greets from mexico.
Very nice update – thanks for the post mate!
I don’t have any problems with the 1st 1.50 add-on, all my psx’s and emu’s work fine with no problem, and i have better loading times with my games and faster FPS with my emu’s. maybe its cuz i have a ta-82 MB not sure but all my firends who have a ta-79/80 MB are not as quik in loading then mine. Im not sure, but imma hold off on this add-on untill i see a crash or shutdown or something, thanks again D_A
hehe sorry to take ur time, thanks for it though, the thing is i did so but still says 150 update incorrect or inexistant. dont know what elsecan be the problem, anyway thanks a lot, my friend. i really apreciate it.
Thanks for the updates Dark Alex…. everything is working great!!!!
man dax, u a bitch, i hope u fucken die in hell nd go suck a dick!!!! OFW on myne 3.71!i!! fuk CFW!!!
Pfft.
lol..
another lost sony fag lolz (lost sheep)… why bother coming here lolz
Comment by $ony
“man dax, i luv u, i hope u fucken me in heaven nd go suck your dick!!!! CFW on myne 3.71!i!! fuk OFW!!!
Im sorry but the only people who HATE CFW are PEOPLE who don’t know what the hell their doing as far as downgrading, and upgarding. Any Sony has it coming to them, the screwed me over when just after 8 months my ps3 broke due to the power supply, Sony has great ideas to try a make it back and beat up the DS with its cool feature, But after 2 years, they say NO to CFW, Stup Ass’s
Can someone help me, i have 3.71 update on my psp and the readme says i need 3.60 m33. what does this mean? can i still use this? when i tried doing all the steps it said i already had 3.71 and i didnt need to update :S
why do we have to always update to new firmwares? why not just stay with 3.52?
because hacking is fun!
what’s the sdk folder for? it dosnt say what to do with it :S
dude thats used for developers for Custom Firmware like DAX. ^^
SDK means = “Software Development Kit”
doom custom wads stopped working.only normal doom works
i can’t update the addon, keep saying “cannot decrypt update prx.”
am using 3.71 M33-2
like braindead said, you put the update folder in the psp/game folder, then you need to get the 1.5 update eboot, rename it “150.PBP” and put it on the root of your memory stick, just run the program and thats it, remember that the hombrew folder in the recovery has to be in 3.71 kernel. ok good luck.
i did the same on the first 1.50 add-on, there was no problem, but for add-on 2,i cant update it, i hv put update eboot 1.5 and rename it 150.PBP, put it on the root. anyway thx. ^^
try getting a new 1.5 eboot, i was having the same problem, so i got another 1.5 eboot and worked fine.
good luck.
Yap, it worked. thx. ^^
i thought he retired
I also had to go back to 3.52 M33-2, as I could no longer use irshell. I think the issue of the leak has caused this, as the problem was with the prx not loading. So hopefully an update in either the CFW or in irshell will mean I can take advantage of this version in the future. Until then, I’m sticking with 3.52 M33-2
Should I install the m33 update2 then the 1.5 addon 2?
can I just install any one of them but not both?
When I try to put in 1.50 kernel #2 the PSP reads it as corrupted data :,(
YES EVRY THING WORK GOOD…..DOES N E 1 HAVE JACKASS THE GAME CUZ I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS GETTING THE SECOND LEVELS I THOUGHT THIS UPDATE WOULD OF FIXED IT I GUESS NOT NE 1 HAVE IDEAS…
Just downloaded it but haven’t tried it yet. Check local torrent sites I am seeding…
The PLAGUE Is COMING!
Thanks Dax worked fine for me on my psp slim and psp fat :) keep up the work
anyone else having prob in running recovery eboot back to 1.50 from 3.71
After installing this update, program at /PSP/GAME/UPDATE will always be executed on 3.71 kernel, despite configuration
- this is pretty useful for those who always forget to set it to 3.71 kernel then keeps asking questions
150 Addon-on v2
- don’t forget to place 1.50 EBOOT.PBP rename it to 150.PBP and place to MS root
Oh I just wanna share Themes .ptf i found in the web
http://stickforum.kilu.de/themes/
orz i put in wrong box
CAN I UPDATE DIRECTLY TO 1.5 ADDON#2 WITHOUT 1.5 ADDON#1?

hehehehehehehehe
nope you can’t skip sony logo on 3.71 m33 not at the moment,
bests stay at 3.52 m33-4 for now….
skipping the logo on my big boned psp on 3.71 m33-2 + kernel 1.50 addon 2 works just fine
Ta very much DA and the rest of those m33 boffins
Wont upgrade until I get the new RCO editor to make my theme work.
Cannot tolerate the stupid sony theme.
I’m glad the USB flash is fixed. Now I can finally put custom 3.71 RCO’s on my psp slim.
installed fine on UK fat Black psp. Trying on Fat Jap Pink PSP and cant install 3.71m33 originally patched the keys so prog run but when it uses the official FW it crashes + error cant run game contact someone for help. Reboot PSP then BRICK.. I have pandoras batt so im ok. I have tried re downloading many a time and tring again and again but still same prob. any ideas?
BTW it is a Ta 086 Mobo
what is this WLAN error DAX is talking about?
i haven’t had any problems so far with 3.71 m33-2.
Can any body help!
My Start button does not work after installing m33-2 update.
I keep getting error when extracting file from the m33update2 file.The file can be extracted but I’m afraid to flash because of the error.Download a lot of time with the same result.
i have installed 3.71m33-2 on my slim but how comes the 1.5 kernel addon doesnt install is it only for the fat psp?
You can’t install the fw 1.5 patch on slim cause it won’t suport it.
please help.. the CFW 3.71 M33-2 worked fine but the 1.5 addon #2 didnt work..
tell me exactly how plz..
each file in which exact folder
for example:
put your “update” folder from the RAR file into “\psp\game\”
and can u tell me please what is the root?? like in “ms root”. what does it mean?
Nevermind!!
the root folder is “F:\” if “F” is ur psp drive in ur pc
it worked sorry to spam!!!
Thank you, I found that very helpful.
Question:
what is useful about kerbel 1.50???
when do u use it??
In which directory should I now save my homebrew stuff with the latest 1.5 addon #2 patch?
And how come I loose the M33 menu when I come back from launching 1.50 apps? How do I get it back?
Finally, how do I get into the recovery mode menu with this new version?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!
graci senor DA! welcome home! we have been miss you!
to much confusion. Okay I’ll I want to know is should I upgrade to this custom firmware or wait untill games require it. And if I do install this can I downgrade back to 1.50 without pandora’s battery
You can upgrade, but the 1.50 kernel update disables some features of the 3.71 firmware. You can downgrade to 1.50 from 3.71 M33-1 or 2 by using this link http://dl.qj.net/General-Apps/pg/12/fid/14678/catid/151 and use in 3.71 GAME folder
hey i get a WLAN error but my friend wit 3.71m33-2 isn’t gettin a WLAN error anyone can help??
The error in question is one that occurs even in OFW 3.71. It’s Sony that’s in the wrong there, and those files are copyrighted to them.
my firmware is 3.71 can i change it to 3.71 -m33
how? pls…. give some instruction….
Yes you can, you need a JigKick battery or a 1.50 OFW or CFW PSP to make one. There are plenty of how to’s on how to do this. Then use the Despertar del Cementerio v3 from Dark_AleX http://www.dark-alex.org. the just follow the readme.
do these updates write to flash?
damn it sony they need 2 hury up and fix it i cant get online wit ma psp shit
complete power off isn’t working. used pandora to 1.50, used 3.50 m33 update, used 3.50 m33 #3, used 3.71 m33 update, used 3.71 m33 #2. It will only sleep, instead of power off.
Hi, upgraded to 3.71-2/1.50-2, and now due to various issues I am haveing with it, want to go back to 3.52-4. With 3.71-2, all recovery’s are done in 3.71 kernel mode, and I assume that is why I can’t get any of them to work (even some that claim to downgrade 3.71).
Is there a way to do this without pandora?
I have an early original fat psp that came with 2.00 originally.
