PSP Firmware 3.90 Released
greg | January 30, 2008
Sony has released firmware version 3.90. Those sleek Slim owners now have official Skype support; while us Fat lamers, including myself, only get added support for PLAYSTATION®Network titles. So what, big whoop, wanna fight about it?
You can grab 3.90 from us or via Network Update. You may need to disable “M33 Network Update” if you’re running custom firmware 3.80 M33. That’s located under the recovery console.
Stay tuned for more updates. You know the usual routine — firmware is released, later dumped and decrypted, Skype support ripped out… Yadda, yadda, yadda…

dam man i feel sorry for dark alex and all the work sony puts him threw, i mean everytime sony makes a new fw DA has to decrypt it, lol
anyways 3.90 m33 o ya
No! Don’t feel sorry for Dark Alex, he knows what to do! He is way far more superior than Sony, it takes entire department of Sony PSP encoders to take on a single man elite Dark Alex… this is nothing to Dark Alex. El numero uno cabrones: Dark Alex!
Don’t forget: Support Dark Alex!!!
Well it’s not just Dark Alex working on M33. It’s him, Malueith (spelling >.<) and a few other guys.
Dax and m33 SUX
Your a dumbass, why are you here? GTFO or STFU
man stop acting like dark alex is your boyfriend noob.
noob? What are you 12? I think I hear your mom calling you for dinner, make sure you wash your hands first.
good comeback sexy.
O.o WTF did you just say?
yeah you stupid Fuking vagina…GTFO
Dark Alex is like David with a slingshot and sony is goliath with a tank. All he has to do is take that bitch apart bit by bit.
if da so bad, how come he cant make sumpin to allow those of us dumb enuff to dl the official update to play homebrews on our psp’s w/o havin to mod tha damn thing?!?
I’m curious about the release date of 3.90 M33.
Yeah, 3.80 M33 took about a month, but most of that time was for that NIDs resolver… so it should be smooth sailing from here, right?
Besides, I’m sure we’re all wondering if Sony wised-up and gave us back full ISO speed with the better memory stick driver…
I’m still on 3.40-OE, haven’t had the need to get newer firmware as no game I’ve bothered playing requires higher firmware - I think Sony gave up :D
Same here buddy.
I agree, I am on 3.52 m33 and I havent bothered upgrading, until sony actually puts something really worthwhile in a firmware update and DAX and company make the good version of it, I’m not gonna bother. I mean skype is all well and good but I don’t use it so it doesnt excite me as much.
hm this sucks..wonders if dark alex has any tricks up his sleeves to get skype running on fats…guess we’ll have to wait and see..
That means were going to enjoy IRSHELL 3.9 until 3.90M33 comes out.Cuz Ahman quit the scene.
Those with Phats will always enjoy iR Shell…
get ready to be hacked……. only 3.80 m33 isnt as stable as 3.52 or 3.71
i havent had any problem with my psp and its running 3.80m33, not even one! no problems whatsoever, and none of my friends have had problems either, its better than either of those firmwares.
Stable? I’ve not had a single problem with it myself.
Stable?? …….. Thats where I keep my horse!
I agree. Installation of custom themes ended in a brick for me. And then recovery menu didn’t work properly…
I feel bad for Dark_AleX
He keeps getting pounded to make new cfw’s!
Is this from the Korean Site?
no, i downloaded it from network update.
Thanks, So this is the North American/ European Version? (Is there any difference?)
north american. no difference, i don’t think. should be alright if you wish to update.
maybe sony will have more clues of the third gen psp
will dark alex make a 3.90 m33? i hope so but poor him coz he spent a month’s time making 3.80m33.
i also heard rumours that when psp version 4.00 comes out it has a feature to video chat to others with the psp camera. hope so…..
I think that he should just wait until 4.00 to make a new CFW. Its a lot of work for one guy.
is the skype for the slim free????????, with a psp camera, you have micro and psps speaker, it should be for the fat psp too
Ever heard of FURIKUP?
The Go!Cam does work with Skype, Right?
there is way to make donations to dark alex???
http://www.dark-alex.org/
there is way to kill dax?
Hey dumbass, your down here too huh? Didnt I tell you to GTFO?
ahah shut up.
OMFG zzzz….will you get the fuk out of here…dear lord your annoying
so waht’s new in 3.90 again?
I’m very happy about Sony releasing Skype on the PSP. Its a very cool feature. Even though I HATE sony. This was a great add to the PSP scene. Now for Skype to be ripped and integrated into the Fat PSP. :]
Furikup.

everybody there is no point waiting for 3.90 m33 because theres not much of a change in the code besides skype. so we should be waiting for DivX support in 4.00
Haye, is that DivX support in 4.00 a rumour or a fact? If it is indeed true, SWEET!
Skype? What is that anyway.
one of the most popular voip (voice over internet protocol) services. In other words, making phone calls from your psp whenever you are in range of a wireless network.
Lol, in witch hole do you live in? No offence. (:
Skype is an Estonian product, it’s something like msn, but it’s better (:
Actually a Nordic product made by a Swede and a Danish guy :] The Swede was also the man behind Kazaa about 10 years ago.
Skype is now based in Luxemburg though.
I just got my firmware yesterday and I don’t give a crap about Skype. The batteries for the psp wont last for 10 minutes calling anyway (or it would be surprising).
mm not, “Estonia is the home of another worlds first - Skype” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inforadio24
Actually they where both behind Kazaa. And they are now making Joost.com, free tv.
i think we’ll know when DAX has a new CFW, cuz network update is m33-compat since 3.80
If only IrShell stayed up for another month because
there will be no doubt be a custom firmware and I got a feeling this will be the last sony release for 2 months at least.
3.90 sucks!!
shame the games coming out for the psp are complete horse shit, the psp is DEAD. no game developer wants to make decent games cos of how easy it is to pirate in the psp scene.
I think that “Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadows” is a very decent game, but thats just me talking.
And this is coming from a guy who hates two stick input styled games, I would have said FPS but this game is 3rd person.
I tend to play more PSP games than anything else these days personally. And I’m looking forward to God of War - Chains of Olympus far more than anything on any other machine.
well u still have gow chains of olympus and ff7crisis core that is if u havent imported it…
Crisis Core? Dissidia? Star Ocean?
i think they end up making money anyway…. alot of people will give up PSP if they cant use ISOs, so the game companies didnt have their business in the first place
i dont think anyone will upgrade, ir shell wont work
3.90 m33 when will you come
COM’ON DAX !! WORK THAT MAGIC OF YOURS.
(p.s. everytime i install 3.80m33 i get a brick . tried on 4 psp’s . any thoughs??)
you’re doing it wrong
how am i doing it wrong , followed all instructions . running 3.72m33-4 or summit.
how am i doing it wrong , followed all instructions . running 3.72m33-4 or summit. and i even tried the Desperatar Cementario v4 (3.80m33 version ) still nothing but a brick. HELP ME!!!
you sux
it’s just another effrontery to all phat users which bought their psp immediately. shame on you $ony!
Long live the hombrew-scene!
It is another way for sony to make all the phat users want to go out and buy a slim.
Well screw you sony, what with DA and the homebrew guys, we dont need you cack anyways.
Why dont sony do something usefull like PSPTube or Something. Come on sony fingers out of the arse and into gear
Ohk , This is Awefull , i tihnk they do that to convince us to buy slim , so for that im just wating for a new homebrew for skype =l
Don’t bother with 3.9 wait for 4.0. Skype is kinda useless anyway.
Your comment was kinda of useless, millions of people use skype. NooB
yea, on their computer you dork. why use skype on a psp if your computer is right next to you. If you’re outside i don’t see you running to a hotspot to make a phone call if you have a mobile phone. Go back to your porn.
yeah nice shootin’ partner
As of now, the only benefit I see from the slim PSP is the feature to have video inputs on it. Other than that…I really don’t see much else that’ll make me wanna run out and buy it. I may purchase it though just so I can play my psp on the big screen. Meh…I’ll wait for something greater to come out.
The Slim has far better controls which makes diagonal input on the D-pad easy too. That alone made it worth me buying the Slim rather than the ‘phat’ as it makes certain games like Street Fighter actually playable.
ok putting aside all the posts above me…
“PLAYSTATION®Network titles”, by this are we talking about multiplayer PS1 games without having to use IR Shell…or does this only mean PS1 games that allowed for multiple PS1 consoles to be networked together?
I do hope that it is indeed multiplayer PS1 games and not console networking.
Such a feature, as well as Skype (which I use as my main method of contacting people) is a pretty nice addition to the PSP. Especially when my flat is sitting on a Wifi point :D
“PLAYSTATION®Network titles” - Number of PSone titles that can be downloaded from the Playstation store has been increased. It’s their way of saying that Sony PSP updated there security too. As for PSone multi player. I bet they haven’t even got the answer to that yet. You’d think that they would of since they made PSone support. My guess ios that they can’t think of a way or they can’t think that far ahead. hahaha!

LOL. Thanks XD
Haha yea they don’t seem to think ahead very much at all. I mean IR Shell already has multiplayer working for PS1 games, but I am not too fond of IR Shell >.<
Interesting that they claim to have updated security and yet 3.90m33 just came out :D
Quote: “Interesting that they claim to have updated security”
No claims. They some times tend to sneak them in and don’t say anything. Maybe they didn’t this time. Team M33 says that the 3.90 FW was not much off from 3.80.
How do you get to the recovery console? (just curious) I’ve never needed it since all of my firmware upgrades have gone perfect. Currently running 3.80 M33-5
Hold R when bootting
turn ur psp off then hold the right trigger while turnin the psp on again thats it
Do you think that us with psp phat will get skype too?
not skype as there is not enough RAM but there is alreadly an alternative out
lol
