Custom Firmware 3.90 M33-2 Released

greg | February 13, 2008

Sony, what’cha gonna do when Dark_AleX runs wild with custom firmware updates on you? For those who haven’t spotted this via Network Update, here is 3.90 M33-2.

3.90 M33-2 changes:

  • Improvements in plugins loading code:
    • Fixed some problems with problematic cards due to file system not mounted.
    • Now plugins should read the faster.
    • Problem fixed with lines with spaces at the end.
  • Added the rest of regions to the recovery option fake region.
  • (PSP SLIM): Added patches in nand ipl to allow Booster multiiplloader and TimeMachine iplloader to boot from nand.
  • Note: only 3.90 M33-2 and higher can be booted from nand in slim with those ipl loaders, not official Sony firmwares or previous versions of M33.

Changes in updater:

  • The 3.90 eboot downloading code is now more stable, no more freezes after selecting AP
  • Memory stick write in the 3.90 downloading code is delayed the maximum possible for faster operation (the system prefers big chunks of data written at once).

Download:

If only Sony (or any major company really) was as concerned with tweaking their product as DA/M33…

Does popsloader work with 3.90 M33-2?

 
Comment by Satch
2008-02-13 23:36:04

yes popsloader works, i was just playing resident evil before. However, i did realize that when using the browser the home button loses functionality, i have to reboot inorder to get back to the XMB .. any ideas?

Comment by doopy
2008-02-15 00:35:50

try hitting circle ’til it says it will close the browser and choose yes.

Ouh, great, I had a brick on the update, I downloaded the update files from network update und run the updat, had 79% of bat. the settup finished, and it needed to restart, and then it bricked, just a black screen. I can get in the recovery.. My friend had a brick too from thins update.. I use slim, is there any way to unbrick without pandora?

Comment by Gweedo81
2008-02-16 13:57:00

the only way to unbrick that i know of is to use a pandora battery and the app desperato-cemetaro..something like that..the newest version can be found at dark-alex.org ..if you dont have a battery there is no chance of getting your psp unbricked..the app i mentioned above has to be run on a cfw and u must have 1.50, 3.40 and 3.80 official firmwares…it works..i just used to it go from an official to a custom on a slim in no time at all..hope this helps out..

I updated to 3.90 M33 – 2. My right shoulder button sticks allot and if using a game and select home button it will not let me choose either yes or no and I have to take the battery out to get back to the main screen. And if does re boot it boots into recovery mode its self. And if you go into a menu to enter your name i.e. Nickname in the system menu it seems to stick on going right and nothing stops it unless you come back out of the menu. I have had OE 3.03 to 3.52 M33 to 3.71 M33 with no problems before. Only since moving to 3.90 M33. Any suggestions. I have no idea what to do in recovery mode, or no clue about cpu speeds and such like. I do not have kernel installed as I dont use homebrew, does this make a difference playing back up ISO’s and I did not install the flash 0 as I am unsure what this is for as it says backup and didnt thought I needed this and I never seemed to have needed to install this before.

Comment by MadMedic
2008-02-15 13:56:30

Just an update encase it helps anyone else. While taking out the battery and placing it back in the sysytem reset and went through the motion like it was Default reset. Since then no more problems but I did install the Kernel 1.50 and 2nd update. Not sure if it was that or the reset.

(80431068)” error message. and before the flaming starts yes i know i can update through the memory stick!;) just want to point it out so it can be fixed.:) im on 3.90 m33 by the way.

Why would u want to use the network update when u are using a cfw? that would take u back to an official release if im not mistaken..

 
Comment by d33
2008-02-16 18:34:51

Gweedo81 no they wont. im not sure when DA manage to hack the network update. this enabled you to update through network update to the newest CFW not OFW.

I have a psp slim running 3.90-2 with the 3.71 memory stick driver and everything seems to be working 100%. Also, I love the fact of still being able to run Sega and Super Nintendo emulators on this firmware.
None of this could be possible without the dedicated M33 team. Thank you for thinking of other people and giving this one of a kind CFW to the world to share. Keep up the GREAT work!

Ok. Updated from previous CFW. Quite dumb on my part as none of the old homebrew (that i used) works anymore.

Just wondering if DAX has a CFW downgrader in mind ;)

I would understand more if, you know, compatibility were not such an issue, but currently i screwed up my other psp and i really don’t feel like making and using pandora’s battery.. again.. for the 5th time…

then i have to do all that updating from 1.5… again… ._. gah….

=3 Maybe another homebrewer could concoct a program to do so

I mean… We MAKE homebrew. So how come we can’t downgrade CUSTOM (open) firmewares with our own homebrew without pandoras? xD
