CFW 3.80 M33-5 Released
greg | January 20, 2008
It’s time to update those hand helds. Dark_AleX has just released 3.80 M33-5. You know what to do. Enjoy!
3.80 M33-5 changes:
- Fixed custom CPU clock not working in games
- CPU clock has never (in any SE/OE/M33) be set at all in games that restarted using sceKernelLoadExec to use a subgame or reload themselves, after said restart happened (e.g. Castlevania). Fixed.
- Added setting to recovery to hide PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG in the XMB game menu. By default off, when on you will probably notice a faster browse in XMB games. This setting only applies to any kind of apps/games (pbp, iso) that load from MS, but not to UMD’s.

Haven’t seen a 5th update on a firmware for a while…
Yeah well there should be a 6th soon, At least I Hope, One that fixes the Memory Stick’s not working well, and a Fix for the Popsloader. : /
I got my Popsloader working fine (3.40 Pops). And I used to have the slow XMB problem, but I formatted flash1 and it was working again…
Oops. I got the Memory stick problem confused with something else…
That guy Is Awesome With All His Work thx man u the best
man i love the network update. man u are awesome.
i hope the next update would enable my upms installer again. thanks for the updates.
thanks DAX, i love the network update ^_^
i thought DAX retired
Lol, Where have you been? No, he didn’t retire.
How about a FIX for the 8GB Sony Memory Sticks not working with half the Crap I have, Everything worked fine with 3.71M33 with my 8GB stick, ANd NO I”M NOT doing the Pandora thing, to revert back, because I read all the Forum HELP ME”s and lots of people have problems when trying that, I am not going to try it, and screw this PSP up, with my LUCK I will.
I have a 8gig card and it works fine…is yours magic gate supported? it could possibly be a knock off… go to your card press triangle and go to “information” see whether it says supported or not…and you should check to see if your file system is set up correctly. Also try reinstalling your prx pluggin’s and kernal 1.50.

I already went through this, YES IT IS REAL, it’s Supported, it works, it’s a real SONY 8GB Memory Stick. So it’s the Update, that’s all I can think of, as I said everything I have Problems with now, Worked fine before, this update. Thanks for the Help though
what exactly are you having problems with?and are you running a phat or slim?
-TKG
PHAT PSP bought it in 2005, Had 2.60 FW on it, and the problems I’m having are, Snes I had on it no longer works, I had to DL the ME version to run in 1.50 Kern now, and Mario never works now. 2nd RE3 does not work now, Freezes before you get to actually play, CWCheat does not work anymore with my SONY 8GB Stick, and YES YES it’s real, it says Supported, before you ask me. Only thing that still works right are the PSP games and CWcheat with it. Advice to anyone using a 8GB stick DO NOT UPDATE, stick with 3.52 or 3.71M33-4, those worked the best for me. If I left anything out, it’s because I’m pissed that shit all stopped working. Sorry if I sound like an Asshole.
Are you sure its real? *ducks*
I wish i had a 8gb stick, that would be friggen sweet.
Nice Job. =)
One further thing…Dax you are a God amongst men thanks for all of the endless entertainment you’ve given us.
-TKG
Thanks Dax :)
When ISO VIDEO MOUNT without UMD in drive? :)
Nice work!!
p.s ( for a 8Gb card i need a prx plugin?? )
Good stuff.
Dark_Alex has no mercy!! You Legend!!
Thanks dude!!
thanks, DAX. if it wasnt for u we would be stuck playing someone elses shity cfw. im going to cry :)
Thanks again DAX for looking out for us. You’re the Best!!!
I hope that there will be a 6th soon that can play beats-like games! Thanks DAX!
your the best dark_alex
HEAD SUS, I C IF UR RUNNING THE SEG GENS EMU (PICO) DRIVE, THE ROMS LOAD FINE BUT THE SEGACD ISO’S DONT LOAD ANYMORE. CAN SOME ONE CONFIRM THAT FOR ME. ON 371 THEY LOAD FINE, 380 THEY DONT LOAD. NOT EVEN WITH THE LATEST M33 5 UPDATE. ONLY THE ROMS LOAD FINE. NOT THE SEGA CD ISO’S. PLS FIX. DAX, I NO UR OUT THERE SOME WHERE
WTF? R U RETARDED? LERN TO SPEL YOU FUKING JAKASS.
Turn off your caps lock and learn to spell fucknut.
Nice update.
One note: Only thing I cant stand about 3.80M33 is lack of custom themes. Other than that, this is PURE WIN!
brilliant work i’m now updating by network laughing my arse off cheers DA and peeps you and the team rock
yeah network update kicks ass!
well, now we are waiting for a good update from sony so we can have a more apps runnin on our beloved psp’s,,, thank you Dax,, you keep this community alive!
Fucking Nice!!! :D
Does stuttering CSO’s work normally yet? Is GTA:LCS still running with no sound at all?
Dude, take it up with sony, unless you wanna optimize Booster’s de-compression, it’s fine for about 99% of games
ohh yea, on madden 08, sometimes the sound goes blurr, hope it’ll soon be fixed! but anyways good work!
I tried the network update of this cf. Its fast and easy no more manual transfer for the mem stick! yey! dark alex rocks!
how do u install this on ur psp…it keeps giving me a message…tht says”The game could not be started.(80020148)..can anyone help me with this..thanxs again..
Make sure you put the update folder in the PSP/GAME folder. then it will run properly, or just do network update :P
mark if ur using a 2 or 4gb mem card try using a 1 or lower gb/mb card i used my 4gb n it gave me tht error but used my 1gb card n got it workin
I’m running 3.80 M33-2, do I need to updated to M33-4 before I apply this?
Ok in 3.71m33-4 the UPMS cso is working 100%. I must say really really good job with this program. But if you have 3.80m33-4 the UPMS cso is not working. When the program starts you get black screen and errors:
Error0×800200D2 loading/starting ksfuff.prx
Error0×800200D2 loading/starting baster.prx
Welcome to the Wonderful Headache that is 3.80
How come now my psp infared remote dosent work and gives me a error saying the game could not be started (80020148) after i have installed CFW 3.80 M33-5.. Please help me. It used to work on my 3.71 M33 and i have 1.50 kernel. HELP
did you installed 1.50 Addon?
if Yes ,
Checked the folder with 1.5 Kernel?
No my mistake, it was cause of the kernel and now i updated to 1.50 kernel for 3.80 for dark alex website…thanks for everything DAX you da best..
how do i enter in the recovery?
Hi, I am on CFW 3.71 just now. I am going to update to CFW 3.80-5. Can I just go straight to 3.80-5, or do I have to install he previous updates first (i.e. 3.80 M33-2, -3 and -4)?? Please let me know someone. Cheers, Lee.
You’d have to install 3.80M33 first (because it uses the EBOOT). Than you can get and use update 5 from Network Update
im using 3.71 m33 and i downloaded this update (3.80 m33-5) just now, when i put it on the PSP/GAME folder, my psp suddenly dsconnected to the pc. and when i tried transferring files from my pc to psp, it would alwas disconnect. this problem started since i did the update. im still on 3.71 m33, the update did not work but my psp wont transfer files now. help please…
anyone have the problem of the PSP shutting off for no reason when running 1.5 homebrew using 3.80 M33 w/ kernel addon
kelloidz - you need to upgrade to 3.80 m33 first. m33-2, m33-3, m33-4 and now m33-5 are fixes for 3.80 mss
well i will wait for a more stable version
Sheesh, a lot of people wish they’d stuck with 3.74m33- instead of going for this bug-ridden 3.80m33. Music prx v0.50 no longer works on this, old games don’t work at all, homebrew is unstable and GTA has no sound anymore! I’d wait until God of War or similar games that require 3.80 come out, then upgrade…now excuse me, It’s Pandora Time!
Um why use pandora, coulda sworn CFW has the ability to downgade via recovery
why my psp still so slow ?
is there anyway i can downgrade it back to 3.71m33?
use pandora battery
Did you downgrade back to 3.71 m33? Did you do it via pandora and did it work ok?
Thank You Dax and The M33 Team for your super support in CFW. You are true masters. “King Dax and M33 Knights of the round table”
Has anyone seen a good GUI for the popstation_md program, that lets you put multiple image files, into one eboot? I’ve tried a couple, and most of them suck. None of them, I can see, lets you use all of the custom icons, I want to be able to put every icon, including the animated, sound, and boot icon, but, alas, I haven’t found one that does it yet. Although, the eboot does work, it just doesn’t run right, it won’t let me use it on Popsloader’s 3.40 firmware, the best for my eboot, and eboot’s in general, and that sucks.
Anyway, about this update, great work, I also really love the laid back use of using the network update, very convenient not having to download, then upload to the PSP.
y do everyone praise DAX?dudes,have u forgotten sony?without sony,could DAX release firmwares?
i’m still grateful of DAX but i love sony
I would’ve never bought a psp if it wasn’t for cfw. Same with my 3 other friends. Sony should send dax a cut from the 640 bucks that he made for them….
Noob
Dax - Rox !
psp would not be the same without you.
without sony - there would be no psp - without dax there would be no psp scenes - so therefore no one would be typing here ;-)
DAX+Sony = perfect combination !
Well put.
offtopic finally http://www.ps3news.com is down :D
go go dark alex
Haha. DAX has won…
Go DAX go!
good,stupid ps3news is a retard site…thanks for publishing DAX source code out!
can i just update to 3.80 m33 and then jump straight to update 5?without installing the earlier updates
Yes u can ,, u don’t have to update the other updates , u only have to install 3.80 M33 and then update it to 3.80 M33 - 5 and thats all,, good luck :)
they should make an ir remote for 3.80m33-5
DAX таки жжот :) пицот апдейтов за три дня, и все в тему. идея с отключением pix-ов классная. DAX, жги дальше :) ждем 4.0
so whats up with the big memstick issue with 380. some stick that worked now dont work. whats the problem
hi guys,, did anyone tried to update from 3.80 M33-4 to 3.80 M33-5 using the network update ,, it didn’t work with me it says that i have the latest version,, but it worked when i updated from 3.80 M33-2 to 3.80 M33-4,, so can anyone tell me plz :) bye
make sure you have it enable in the recovery menu
I just started the Network Update for the first time. I’m scared.
It says “The download failed. A connection to the server could not be established. (80431068)
Is it just busy right now? I’ll keep it old school so that’s one less person clogging up the servers.
I can’t connect via usb?!?!? Ack! What should I do?
Went from 3.40 OE to 3.80 M33 - Everything works as it should, ISOs, psx, homebrew… using a 4GB memstick… A few minor problems; Internet Radio doesn’t show any stations, can’t change the xmb battery or use any “custom” themes. All in all, I am well pleased with this release.
Have you tried using your usb cable yet? Cause mine isn’t working…It’s not the cable. I keep receiving errors when trying to connect to pc. I am still trying to upgrade from 3.80m33v4 to v5. I can’t get it online or usb. Am I stuck in limbo? There has to be a different solution than recovering. Plus I’m on a Slim, so I can’t exactly go back to 1.5-what would it recover to?
Forgot to Mention PSP Fat T82.
Whoa - yes USB works fine.
I have 3.40 OE but want to upgrade my CFW to 3.80 M33 too. Do I just upgrade to it or do I have to do other steps to get there? (I have a PHAT PSP)
