Custom Firmware 3.90 M33 Released

Posted by greg

Update: And, for us fat users only, the 1.50 Kernel Add-on…


Dark_AleX with the quickness — custom firmware 3.90 M33 is here! You’ll require Sony’s official 3.90 update; fetch that below or let Dark_AleX’s M33 network updater download it for you.

3.90 M33 changes:

  • 3.80 -> 3.90
  • March33 NO UMD: fixed (yet another) bug related with exiting with home. (infinite semaphore wait)

M33 Updater changes:

  • The degeneration check and correction of IDS keys happens too in 3.71 now.
  • Added code to download 3.90 PBP from net via wifi. Note that his code is not yet 100% stable, it may crash when selecting AP. In that case, re-init the installer.
  • L+triangle has been restored as method to bypass battery. If you already have 390.PBP keep those buttons pressed until you see “Veryfing 390.PBP”. If the 390.PBP is being downloaded via wifi, press those buttons at the end of download until you see the previous sentence.

    Is your psp version 3.80 M33?

    Comment by PimpMatt
    2008-01-31 21:29:29

    Dude he said 3.80 hes probably one of those dumbass that never reads the READ ME.txt you need 3.52 M33-3+ to get (3.71 M33 or 3.80 M33 or 3.90 M33) to get 3.52 M33 you need 1.50 PSP.

    USE FUCKING PANDORA!!! AND WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR UPGRADES (CFW) WHEN YOU SHOULD BE AT THE DOWNGRADE SECTION!

    It will hang when the kernel access hasn’t been set to 3.xx.
    Just turn the PSP off completely and turn it on again while holding the R button pressed. In the menu set kernel access to 3.xx and reboot.
    Now the installer will work just fine.

    Comment by Eoh01
    2008-02-09 07:18:52

    You need a Pandora battery to install a custom firmware. The easy way is to use pandora and a stick with say 3.71m33 install on it. do a search here or got ebay and try your luck there. :/ If you pay more than $100 US you are mad.

    I Wonder if DARK ALEX or the developers of IR-SHELL, or some other psp developer are interested in making a REAL TIME SAVESTATE APP for PSP isos and PSX emulated games,(It means to save game playing in any moment, just like emulators do) IT COULD BE DONE VIA IRSHELL, OR SOME OTHER MEDIA MANAGER.

    IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

    2008-02-01 09:54:55

    SkypeIn (psp to psp, psp to pc, and pc to psp) is free. SkypeOut (psp to landline phone or psp to cell phone) is like 2 cents a minute or something like that. i only use SkypeIn so im not 100% sure on the SkypeOut pricing

    they’re weren’t any problems with 3.80 M33

    Comment by Anthony82
    2008-01-31 20:11:24

    Umm Yeah there was many, PS1 games worked like Crap, SNES worked like garbage on it, and many other problems. I’ll stick with my 3.71M33, that seems to work the best, and with my 8GB Sony Stick, works fine, 380 didnt not like my Stick, AND yes it’s a REAL stick, before anyone say’s OH check if it’s a Fake. IT”S REAL.

    sucks to be you, works fine for me in every way..

    Comment by anthony82
    2008-01-31 21:22:53

    Well do you have a 8GB SONY STick, because that’s what works like Crap with 3.80, I had it working OK, yeah just OK with the 1GB and 4GB stick, but allot of stuff was Buggy, as in PS1 Resident Evil, and CWCheat, so I went back to a Good FW, 3.71, everything works Fine with my 8GB stick with that FW. So until they make a FIX for those Sticks, I’ll stick to 3.71, or until SONY actually makes a Good FW with stuff to be Excited about.

    I have a real genuine 8 GB Sony stick and it works PERFECTLY with all M33’s including this one.

    If you want to know what a real one is supposed to look like do a search on ebay for “*GENUINE* SONY 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo 8 GB Retail PSP” sold by a user called “1800memory” and his comment is “BEWARE FAKE Sony P/N with T, 3+0+3 seals or BLUE 8GB/GO”

    They look real they may even work kinda ok for most stuff but they are cheap garbage. Don’t use them if you can afford to get the real stuff. :)

    What were the problems with 3.80m33? I didn’t find any myself.

    Comment by ratix
    2008-01-31 17:44:49

    just because you didnt have any doesent mean others didnt.

    a lot of people had problems with pops loader not working as well as speed among other problems mostly due to some of the new things sony did with the firmware. just go look through the forums and youll see.

    Comment by Carnivac
    2008-01-31 18:01:57

    I was only asking out of curiosity as I’ve not had any issues with that firmware even when running pops loader…

    Some game compatability went down with 3.80, with ps1 games that is.

    This is a surprise. He made this faster than most other releases. He must have been on this the minute it was posted. He shouldn’t have had too much of a problem because of this being similar to 3.80. And you don’t have to download anything using a computer anymore (unless u use 1.50 kernal then that’s different)

    2008-02-05 19:29:28

    all u need to do after u use the pandora’s battery is start up the psp without the battery…(with the power cord) then put the battery back in.. then go into the pandora’s battery program and switch the battery to normal… u really don’t need another battery.

    Go!Messenger is for Europe only. In Recovery mode you can change your region. that’s what I did. It looks cool, but it’s not online yet. I’m guessing it’s some video IM thing that works with PSP Camera (hence why it will NOT come out in the US)

    Comment by wardog256
    2008-01-31 19:16:39

    um hello the US go!cam is coming out either late this year or early next and when that happens im sure sony will put go!messager in the US firmware

    Do you really, REALLY think that, after playing games like God of War (demo) or Crisis Core in your PSP fat, this little thing hasn’t got enough power (processing or RAM) to run something as simple as Skype??!
    It’s just a marketing move from Sony to make us move on to PSPslim.

    now I don’t know if I should wait for 4.0 or what XD.

    also, can anyone confirm if they mean Network PS1 games that are console network or multiplayer? I am really confused :S

    Nice work DA, if 4.0 is really worth the update, I am going to be donating to you for your work man…seriously this was a fast as hell release.

    No. It was fast because barely anything was changed from 3.80. I’m using 3.90M33 on a Phat and Slim, and I can’t find any bugs.

    Damn, that was fast. I’m in absolute love with the network update. Here’s to hoping that in the future that 1.5 add-on support can also be applied through it.

    Dark_AleX, you are what makes my PSP keep from getting dust.

    Backup your memory stick. Reformat MS and GAME390 will be there. Or just rename that folder to GAME390.
