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.

ehm nice but i still stick with 3.71mrr-4 first
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
@ wardog256 thanks m8 will check it out very helpfull :o)
i had 3.71m33-4 and dint have this popsloader thing anywhere on my memorystick for that update… is pops NEEDED for the phat psp to run ps1 games?
wow, im lovin this network update thing..thanks DAX!
nice..but i will stick with 3.71 m33-2 for now and wait until a week or two :]
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?
i think u need to go on 3.52-4 then to 3.8 then to 3.8-4
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

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
