CFW 3.80 M33-4 and PopsLoader Released! *Updated*
greg | January 16, 2008
Update: M33-4!
- galaxy.prx was changed to a new version that is giving problems with slow memory sticks. Reverted back to previous versions. This didn’t only affect decrypted isos running in NP9660 mode.
Just when you thought Dark_AleX was gone, he’s back on. 3.80 M33-3 and compatible PopsLoader (PSX/PSOne emulator) has arrived. Need I say more?
3.80 M33-3 changelog:
- Fixed synchronization issue that plugins check code caused in PSN NP9660 original games (fixes 0×80010013 error)
- Added a couple of libs to the nids resolver.
- Added some internal changes required by incoming 3.80 popsloader plugin.

Quick bugfix for M33-3.
- galaxy.prx was changed to a new version that is giving problems with slow memory sticks.
Reverted back to previous versions. This didn’t only affect decrypted isos running in NP9660 mode.

i want to keep my Theme
dont 3.71 themes work in 3.80?
ptf still work on 3.80m33-4..1.50 add on
does the popsloader plugin released for 3.80 m33-3 work with the new m33-4? i dont have any ps1 games on my psp at the moment so i cant test it out
lmao i just pressed rwefesh and it said m33-4 LMAO
lol same
I can believe DAX is release improves faster than a click of the mouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was just 5 minutes ago i downloaded update 3 hahahaha Dark~AleX is Roooock!!!
Is there an EasyInstaller for all of this where i just launch a .exe program? Too lazy to install all of this one after the other see…
are you already on 3.80 m33? cuz u can just run network update and have it before you know it
very nice indeed i tryed loadin the pops loader and sayin it curropt?? just new to all this could some1 tell me were to put the folder for the ps1 games thanks :O)
you put them in their own folder in PSP\GAME
i done that i put the folder in psp/game then it not work then i made my own folder in psp/game and put them in there and still the same i gotta be doing something wrong
hm. i havent done pops since 3.40 oe. mustve changed it up. i think u put it in seplugins/popsloader but im not entirely sure. sorry i cant help more
scratch that. r u putting all the games in the same folder? u gotta put one game per folder and name each game EBOOT.PBP. the folder names can be wuterver u ant them to be
for example, if u hav ff7 and ff8, u should have ms0:\PSP\GAME\ff7\EBOOT.PBP and ms0:\PSP\GAME\ff8\EBOOT.PBP
if youre doing that already make sure the popsloader plugin is turned on cuz its disabled by default when u first put it on ur psp

Thats great news. I am currently running 3.40oe but want to upgrade to 3.8 cfw. Can I just install this new FW or do I have to do it progressively?

where do i get sonys pops files to add to this popsloader
Does this support multidisks for pops?
Nice stuff by the way, thanks DA!
Okay guys, if anyone can help me, I’d like to talk over AIM if at all possible. I’m getting a new PSP phat today, but it has Sony firmware 3.50 installed. I’ve heard that you can still install CFW with a normal memory stick and Lumines or something like that, but I have no idea how to do it! If anyone out there has this information and can help me, I’d much appreciate the gesture! My AIM name is Sflame1230. Please help me out! Thanks!

Follow that link to a YouTube video of a guy showing you how to make a Pandora battery. It’s all software related, and takes only a couple of minutes, and blam-o, you can downgrade to 1.5. From there, install 3.52-4 M33 and update it to 3.8. From there, update it to 3.8-4.
I know it sounds hard, but, it’s really not. No matter what you do, get your downgrader started first, that way, even if you screw up, you can always go back and fix it.
Good luck.
you can either dowgrade with unpatched Lumines UMD, use guide here http://www.pspmod.com/forums/psp-firmware-guides/17499-guide-how-downgrade-3-10-3-50-1-50-a.html or you need Pandora battery (either borow it from someone or borrow hacked PSP and create it)
No, all they have to do is follow the link I gave them, to a Youtube video. The Youtube video shows you how to Pandora your battery, and switch it back to a regular battery, fairly easy.
this came so fast..great work.
Hi guys I’m new to all of this so please can anyone tell me what sonys pops files are and where do I get them. Thanks
thats what i need to know please some one help ty
joeyj I found this looking around hope this help o and I’m not if I can post links here so here it goes http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=118794&p=1
Man DAX is awesome I wish we knew whether or not he reads these comments on any of these sites cause he deserves all the praise he gets here and more
The battery check really annoys me. Any way to bypass it? I remember something like L + traingle used to work but I’ve tried that and other different combinations.
Any quick tips?:)
thank you michael and thank you da you are the man
Man You Awesome Thx DAX You Really Cool Man Keep It Up
Does the new popsloader break the sleep function during PS1 games for anyone else…?
I just updated to m33-4. THANK YOU DA!!! one problem i got is i tried to use network update from m33-2… it downloaded m33-4 instead of m33-3 first. so i removed the update and manually downloaded m33-3 and installed it then i used net update for m33-4. but yeah the updater notified me of a later update.
haha! read some news u can use network update now instead of doing that. also u didnt need to go from 2 to 3 to 4. u can go from 2 to 4.
At this rate 3.80M33-10 will be out in approx. 50 min. lol
just installed 3.80 m-33 – 4, how do i activate popsloader plugin in recovery in order to run PSX.
iv tryed Resident evil 2 and 3 and still no luck! final fantasys dnt work nothings really working with this update!!! whta waste of time!!!
I tried RE3 and it worked all i did was load the EBOOT.PBP with the KEYS.BIN file and i think that is the answer, you need the KEYS file to make it work. but when it went to select the what pops to use i just selected “use original from flash” and it works fine. only thing is i can load my old save file.
KEYS.Bin ???? Explaing a bit more, I’m not a Noob to all of this, just some stuff is like HUH ? Whaa ? And that is one of those Things. Is this the Thing where it gives you the Choose thing for all the FW My RE-3 worked with 3.52 when I used it Now it just freezes. I”m using 3.80M33-4 With the New CWcheat, and that doesnt work for this anymore, worked on 3.71M33, and PspTube doesn’t even show up anymore. :( This update did me more Bad then Good.
I am in absolute love with the network update. I had 3.8-2, and simply clicked on the network update, it found an update, and I installed it by pressing X. Simple as hell, and required absolutely no work.
Genius, good work Dark_AleX, and M33 team.
Another thing, I’ve never used Pops, I know it has to do with PS1 games, but, what the fuck does it do?
I’ve done everything that the readme says, but, says to put Sony Pops files in there?
awsome!!!! thiz rockz and ur netowrk update is sick and slick
Once again D_A delivers on the goods
im not very smart lol uhh i download the CFW 3.80 M33 and i don’t know y is’ts not working
..
Anybody know if this works with Remote Joy?
where do i install popsloader??what folder??plsss thnx
u drop the seplugins folder into the root of the memory stick and uxit usb mode and go into recovery mode, one uv done tht go into plgins and enable the pops plugin but seriously iv tryed it and when i tryed my resident evil 2 and res 3 even final fantasy it came up a menu with pops and didnt matter wht 1 i picked it j crashed on screen and whenever i loaded the game bk up my game would never start!!! iv went bk to 3.52m33-4 coz at least all my games worked bk then and i didnt even use pops either so its the safer and best cfw out! and another thing all my games still got the stupid dragula crap image in my save games lol so much for DAX fixing tht!!!
if anyone knows how to get most of ps1 games working on 3.80m33-4 plz HELP US ALL coz so far all these updates R pointless!!!
dude you should be thankful that DAX is still doing new cfw’s at all. if you dont like it then shut the fuck up and dont use it. ungrateful little bitch.
oh, and learn how to type.
well done wardog256 good call
This is all great, but… How about a pandora installer?
No offense, I appreciate all the work, but it keeps stopping at 99% and bricking mine. I’ve tried MANY different things, but nothing yet…
Poploader Guide: download file inside
http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=118794&p=1 next grab popsman340.prx, pops340.prx, pafmini340.prx and libpspvmc340.prx and dump them in poploader file. the one inside seplugin then enable poploader in recovery and your go to go. why? 3.40.prx because it plays all ps1 games.
thnx bud tht really helped c thts how the pops update shoulda been posted like instead it was empty for the user to find thnx alot
What Folder Do You Put It In
place the UPDATE folder in :/PSP/GAME so it will be like this:
:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE
then select the m334 update from memstick in xmb
So, still doesn’t work for Beats the PSN game
I can’t get my emulators to work. I had 3.80 m33-4 and when I run the emulator its says “the game could not be started”(8002014C). do I put the emulator files in game, game150 or the game380 folder and what kernel should i be running? thanks for the help if anyone has any ideas.
all emulators go into game1.50 folder and go into recovery and enable ur homebrew to 1.50 instead of 3.80
not necessarily. i have a slim with two emulators thaty run in the 3.80 kernal so not all emulators go in GAME150. if you download an emulator and the download contains two identical folders except one has a % sign in it, its a 1.50 homebrew and goes in GAME160. if its only one folder, its either a 1.00 kernal or 3.XX kernal homebrew. both go in GAME and run just fine
wow another new cfw. i can’t say it enough but i owe you dax my psp life! oh by the way does irshell 3.81 work on this release?
“all emulators go into game1.50 folder and go into recovery and enable ur homebrew to 1.50 instead of 3.80″
I tried that but everytime i run the emulator it just freezes on the psp screen.
SWEET. =) Brave Fencer Musashi PSX works with popsloader =)
Thanks for the update.I don’t have anything to said to DAX except for thank you.He’s the Best!
dont network update without first installin 1.5 kernal
Big Thanks 10/10Drak_Alex Is God For PSP If HE
Was Not There PSP is Never Be More Fun
I Think Sony Was Give Him Little In Backstage
At Almost 75+% PSP Sellout Only Bcse Of Him;-)
Hmmm, I upgraded to M33-4 then formatted the stick, copied the 1.50k_addon files to /PSP/GAME/UPDATE, then copied the 1.50 firmware over to the root of the stick with the name 150.PBP but for some reason when I go to the memory stick through the “XMB->Game->Memory Stick” it only shows a corrupted Data icon. No update? Worked for 3.71 this way? What am I doing wrong?
Create a folder in /PSP/GAME/ called 1.50Kernal.
Place the 1.50K_addon files in that folder.
Be sure to place the 150.PBP in the root of the stick.
Then u can run it.
This worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
lol, I also did not do the Network Update thing. lol
Dark_AleX you are the man
i just wanna say how thankful i am to DAX, man you are great, i as most of the people here owe you a lot of respect.
i didn’t install 3.80 yet but i just wanted to say thanks and keep up the great work

Great Assholes keep hackings your psps no wonder the psp almost never sells software
Cheap bastards who cant even pay 19-29$ for a game
****************************************
****************************************
You are right, ppl should try these games and if they like them than buy them and if not than delete them
anyways is sleep mode working with pops? mine doesn’t
FUCK YOU BOTH ASSHOLES-YOUR BOTH GAY!
I bet then your one of the cheap assholes who thinks its okay to steal (pirate games) because they cant offered them
Learn to spell dumbass. you’re the one that can’t afford to miss spell when calling ppl assholes. only makes yourself look more the asshole, or maybe look more the ignorant fool.
At least i don’t steal i called you assholes because its the truths stating facts doesn’t make you asshole ASSHOLE
looks like somebody’s bitter, hahahaha! mad props to Dark_AleX, don’t mind them haters
true that
we have come a long way in psp hacking we even gone as far as updating our psp’s via network update the possibilitys are endlless
i agree ,the psp games are shit and all the top titles that could have been are delayed or canceled ,its no wonder …. im all for homebru and psx pops loader ,but i think dax should remove umd iso compatibility.
you all dont understand the damage piracy does to any industry ,and for all this legal backup crap, well look after your discs and carts and you wont need to back anything up ,a psp collection boxed in mint on ebay in 10 years time will be worthless.
dax is a kool guy and if his intentions were of good for the psp in general , no umd iso emulation would be possible.
now ,on to topics of 380 ,i was on it and found it really buggy so made a pandora and went to 150 then 303 , now i see mm4 is out ,can anyone verify …. slowdown problems removed ,old and current homebru working ?
ohh and is online radio any good now ,as it was slow at best and frustrating to use in general ..
would you guys recommend 380/4
online radio is sh*t in my opinion
I would say 3.71M33-4 was the best, everything worked for me. :( I mean I appreciate this guy making these, but if allot of stuff does not work, Why even release it, It would save space on here for all of us ASKING help. Makes sense.
Has anyone tried to put in the 3.80 – 1.50 Kernel addon on their M33-4? I can’t seem to be able! I asked for help a few messages back. lol, but no answer, so my question is has anyone actually tried to install it? Cause either no one has tried it and thus they don’t know it don’t work or they have tried it and my PSP is screwed up!
I report a fall in perfomance with 3.80 m33-4. I have a FAT and MS Sony 4GB.
at first i was like, what about 3 lol. Nice jobz, now gta games will run faster!
I upgraded to M33-4 and games are still slow. On Wipeout Pulse, images freeze for a split second whenever access to the memory stick is performed.
I was playing Untold Legend Brotherhood with my bro via Ad-hoc WiFi using 3.71 M33-4 and after I switch to 3.80 M33-4 , the game framerate drop , it seems to be slower and laggy.Just what went wrong with this firmware,hope this could be fix soon…
I remember a while back about being able to downgrade 3.71 m33 back to 3.52 m33 without pandora i just cant remember what exactly it was that did it anyone have any clues?

I had problems with it when i Put it in the /PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder. When I went to my memory stick folder all I saw was a corrupt data icon.
So this is how i got it installed.
First – Create a folder in /PSP/GAME/ called 1.50Kernal.
Second – Place the 1.50K_addon files in that folder.
Third – Be sure to place the 150.PBP in the root of the stick.
Fourth – exit USB mode and you should no longer see a corrupt data icon. Instead you will see the newly made 1.50Kernal folder.
Just run it, follow the prompts and it should install.
This worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
Yup, got it to work. lol, some things just don’t run without it. Or at least the things I use. lol
Oh yeah. lol, thanks a ton. Almost forgot to say thanks. hahahahahaha, was too excited to finish off some stuff. lol
u cant even use ur socom hacks if u have 3.80m33-4
how do u use remoteplay with m33? cuz mine sais that I need to update!
im totally new 2 this psp thing and i dun hv those pandora battery or watever im using cfw 3.71 m33-4 and i wan upgrade it 2 3.80 m33 -4
can i just upgrade it wif out the batter and is there anyway 2 backup the nand flash coz i heard is important data
I’m pretty DOWN gents. Y’all have praized D.Alex like a GOD and me being a newbie have TRUSTED your words. I waited with nail-biting anticipation for weeks to get the 3.80M333. I never stumbled on what homebrew had to offer ’til after I downloaded Sony’s 3.72FW….unfortunately. So, I have been waiting and hoping to get my PSP Phat hooked up so I can enjoy everyhting y’all have been playin….now I find that I can’t get the 3.80M33!! You need CFW3.71M33 to update it to 3.80M33…WTF, I mean seriously WTF!! I love freeware, and I am definately way too normal to develop shit and give it to the world for free, but man…i mean, MAN!! I have been waiting for this release only to find out I’m still F’ing Screwed…WTF, this is ALL Bullshit!! I’m sticking straight with SONY and the legit shit! Fuck this, waiting and waiting for what…for restrictions and requirements….with all due respect D.Alex, I am amazed at what you can do…because I couldn’t even begin to image how to develop or hack any type of electronic devices, and it appears you have a true loyal following, but I feel as a newbie…I fell FUCKING jobbed. I sat for a month, checking daily and waiting for my taste, my taste of this majic that everyone else blogged and chatted about…only to find that in the end I’m better of sticking with the legit, FW that SONY has to offer, cause in the end….they aint gonna BULLSHIT the newbie. SO here’s my BIG MIDDLE FINGER to D.Alex…..I wont waist my time again.
WHO or WHAT told you the new 3.80 m33 would beable to install on a sony fw LOL befor you get all mad try looking for Pandora’s battery Whitout 1.50orCFW on Youtube and have the Joy That is CFW.
Wow
jimmie9 – you need Pandora Battery and a jigstick to flash a Slim PSP I have never done a Phat but they are just as simple so I’m told. It’ll take less than a minute to perform the surgery. Next time instead of just reading the bit that says “latest custom firmware” try reading the bit that says “this is how you hack a PSP”… The only person you are making fun of with your “big middle finger” comments is yourself. You have proven you really need to RTFM which you will find MANY manuals on here and you already have a PHAT PSP so quit ya bitchin…
LMAO
so which is the better fimware to be using 3.80 m33-3 or m33-4 didn’t quite understand the txt?
is m33-4 unstable or something!
that guy jimmy ,m8 i know how you feel, but look man .. get a pandora made up ,if you know one person with a cfw ,any cfw then great as they can make you a pandora ,its easy to make ,takes 5 mins and with it you can revert to 150 fw then move on to a custom firmware(dont use 380) go for 303 oec or 3.52 mm4 they are best. ohh and to revert to 150 using pandora it takes about 3 mins and its the click of the x button.
hope this helps man
Erm…I noticed a bug in the thing… When you go to the M33 custom menu (Hold R and power on), you cannot access the flash drives. I tried all of them but all ended up reading from the memory card…..
Is this my problem? Or the software got bug? I’m on 3.80M33-4. PSP-phatt.
I updated to 3.80 M33-4 without a problem. When I go to make a pandora’s batter with it I get a weird memory error. I downgraded back to 3.71 m33-3 and I can make a pandora’s battery again? Is there something in the 3.80 that has shut down the ability to create a pandora battery? Any help is appriciated.
PS. Thx D.Alex for all your efforts, you be da’ man!
Hi,
I have updated to 3.80 M££-4 and need top go back down to 3.71 M33-3 as my UPMS installer stopped working. Can you please tell me how you did it? Some people say that if you use pandora to go down to 3.71, it bricks psp? Thanks for your help.
Well a Update here, I tried out my 1GB MS, and wiped it out, put the Seplugin Folder, put in the GAME text ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat.prx
ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx
Enabled it in Recovery, downloaded the 350 and 352 PRX and popsloader.prx and the idcanager_old.prx that came with that FOLDER, replaced all of that with this stuff, and also just tried replacing just the 350 and 352 only, still no luck, or course. BUT the CWCheat Menu actual comes up this time, but RE3 Still freezes, unless I can get this damn MENU to come up with the version I can choose. I held in R on every spot you can think of before the game starts, even right as soon as I click on it, Still NADA, NOTHING, ZIP. So I’m gettin close to just givin up. this shit pisses me off. OH and I was using my SONY 8GB Stick before.
Anyone know how to go back to cfw 1.50 if I’m on 3.80 m33-4? Or maybe back to 3.52m33? Any help would be great!!
use pandora
i just put the cfw on my psp slim and now my iso’s or emulators wont run. right when i try to play one of the iso’s my psp will turn off. does any one know how to fix this
never mind i fixed it. I had a se plugin that allowed you to play music while playing a game that was enabled and i disabled it and that fixed the problem
is this compatible with psp-slim?
and seriously im a pure newbie here. i dont know what the hell u guys are talking about.
what pandora battery?
do i have to buy it before i upgrade my psp?
what do i need to know to upgrade my psp?
can anyone add me on msn and guide my step by step?
please?
:S
I will add you to my msn, what is your msn address? I will explain what it is for you my friend.
thanks. ^^
my email is yan.aka.de2k@gmail.com
email/msn will do ^^
