Custom Firmware 4.01 M33-2 and 1.50 Kernel Add-on Released

greg | June 29, 2008

Concluding our action-packed custom firmware adventure is the promised 1.50 kernel add-on for PSP Fat owners. And in addition to that — Dark_AleX has corrected a few 4.01 M33 bugs; ergo, releasing 4.01 M33-2.

Custom Firmware 4.01 M33-2 changes:

  • Nids resolver: Fixed scePowerGetCpuClockFrequency issue. This is the same bug that happened in 3.80 M33-1, it won’t happen again.
  • Fixes recovery problems that have appeared in prior version (incorrect position of back string in language others than English, enable, and disabled strings not translated in plugins, hide pic0+pic1 couldn’t be changed, language file in flash1 wasn’t working…)
  • Spanish recovery translation typos fixed.

Get down.

Where do I install the 1.50 Kernel Add-on for 4.01 M33. When I updated via the network it did NOT creat a GAME4xx folder??? I don’t see it in my list of games. What am I missing.

Thanks for the help?

Comment by Vic
2008-06-29 19:00:47

1.50 Kernel Add-on

To install, first download the 150.PBP and place it in the root of your memory stick (X:\150.PBP, if X is the drive letter of your PSP). Then simply copy the “150k_installer” folder to GAME and run the installer from the PSP’s Game menu.

Comment by Joe
2008-06-30 01:02:34

in the readme DAX said to place 150k_installer folder into GAME4XX folder not GAME….im guessing 150.PBP still goes into root of mem stick?

Comment by gyjunior
2008-06-30 09:48:42

yea… only wors for PHAT.
150.pbp in root
create Folder “Game4XX” and copy the 150k_installer to that folder… should work fine in the normal gamefolder as well.

I’ve heard that patch has lead to semi-bricks on 4.01m33 so I’d be careful.

Comment by Extreme
2008-06-29 21:01:50

Pob, if you’re going to be using it to strictly use it for playing games, and homebrews, then mate, no, not really, everything you need, and and all you’ll basically need is on a 3.52m33, though i suggest you upgrade to at least 3.71m33-4.. even 3.80m33-5. I mean, usually I (and I haven’t yet) upgrade to the newest custom firmware because it’s always full of bugs, and more than likely you won’t be able to do things you’ll usually do. So just follow my advice, basically go for 3.80m33-5 if you’re wanting to update at the mo.

I was wondering if somone could please help me.

I have always had my gameboots installed and working perfectly.

After upgrading from 3.90 M33 to the new 4.01 M33-2 my gameboot no longer works.

What I get now is a PSP logo with a white background, no sound, and also not the original.

I have tried to RE-INSTALL to Flash0/vsh/resource folder and it does not work. Still get the same blank screen. Can’t even seem to go back to original. I just can’t figure this out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Best thing is to use a Pandora Battery. Google “psp malloc forum” and find it there.

i already have m33, i guess what i wrote is misunderstanding.
the autoupdate doesnt work for me, so i have to manually update.
i update my friends psp, and they all have CFW, but when i want to update them to 4.01 m33-2, do i have to update it to 4.01 m33 then update to 4.01 m33-2? or can i just use the 4.01 m33-2 to update from 3.90 m33-3?

You should be able to go straight to m33-2.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and (if you’re running 3.80m33 or higher) let it autoupdate you to 4.01m33-2

That’s what I did.

Question:

Why does DA/M33 not work for Sony?

I would guess they have tried to hire him, so is it a moral objection? (For which I would hold DA in even higher esteem than I already do) Or is Sony just REALLY stupid?

However many millions they would have to offer him, it would be well worth it…the guy plays the PSP like a violin :)

Corect me fellow PSPers if I’m wrong on this, but I believe that Dark Alex did work for Sony, but got rid of him after he was using this access to Sont tech to create the firmware’s.

So far I’ve seen ZERO bugs. Was running 3.90 M33-3… went to 4.01M33: Popsloader still worked. I didn’t touch it. Didn’t do anything. Just ran Metal Gear Solid right after the reboot and got killed by Sniper Wolf.

Upgraded to 4.01M33-2… again… without reconfiguring anything… Started up MGS, KILLED Sniper Wolf… Switched to disc 2…. absolutely no problem.

The google search thing worked… Recovery menu works… Fastfoward and rewine videos works…

If there’s a problem with this firmware it must be something I reaaaaaally don’t care about.

Comment by elecman_x
2008-07-01 21:43:24

Same here. I consider myself lucky when I hear of bugs and I never experience them.

The only bug I ever seem to encounter is in MGSPO+, when occasionally, the game will appear to freeze, but is actually still going, it just LOOKS frozen. Usually happens in the loading screens, but once it happened in a timed mission, and I barely made it to the checkpoint.

Not a firmware problem though, since I have tried this on OFW (3.90) and CFW (3.90 M33 and 4.01 m33), and it does it either

Does this new CFW increase the popsloader compatibility? I have CFW 3.90 m33-3 and I love it. Some games might be slightly glitchy but it really works perfectly for me. Should I download this update? Will it make more PSOne games even more functional?

One thing I wish Dax could implement is another Fatsmod patch for 4.xx. I have tried the 3.8/3.9 one and it does not work. If I just ran programs (such as Gundams Battle Chronicles or Suzumiya Haruhi ) with plain 4.01m33-2 , the game intro would be very laggy. I guess it is the same issue with 3.71 jump to 3.80. Anyways, thanks for the good work Dax, nothing makes us more happier to see 5ony’s azz got whip one more time.

Just download this, H E L L C A T s R e c o v e r y F l a s h e r. You don’t need to use pandora.

Downgrade to 1.5 (PHAT) or 3.71 (Phat+slim) with Despertar del Cementerio (http://exophase.com/files/psp/dc5.rar) and make Pandora battery. But there are like 1million guides 2 that.

Thank you for your suggestion. Still froze at 92%. Do I need to downgrade to 1.50 and then upgrade?

Comment by gyjunior
2008-07-01 02:19:50

Do you have a slim or a phat? For Slim downgrade to 3.71m33
for phat dg to 1.5m33 and then take it from there. U cannot upgrade 1.5 directly to 4.01 u have to go to 3.71m33 and then U can install 4.01m33

(Comments wont nest below this level)

Try making an ISO folder on the root of your memory stick (Ms0/psp/). The root is where all of the folders like Music Picture Video etc go.

The root of the memory stick is MS0:// not MS0://PSP/.

When you first run your update you will have 2 Files

Eboot.pbp
401.pbp

When you run the update for the first time…the first line that appears is a line that says

Unpacking…

The unpacking process creates the other 3 files.

DL.pbp
PUPD.PSP
U235.PRX

Comment by Fluffhead

You may be waiting a long time for a recovery file other than pandora. You have a hacked psp… make pandora. Problem solved. If you think it’s difficult you are fooling yourself.

 
Comment by ronnie42
2008-07-01 18:55:48

dnt wry about the 1.5 problem thing cause dark alex said that soon 1.5 will be stopped an all homebrew will be moved to either 3.xx or 4.xx an this means hopefully we’ll get our location free app thingy back, our korean font.lol

 
Comment by maddeath
2008-07-12 12:22:17

you should be able to run the downgrader that comes with hen 3.50. you dont need the game to run the downgrader and if should get u all the way back to 1.50 and from there just upgrade to 3.52m33 and then to 4.01m33 and dont use the 1.50 add on.

Yes fluffhead I have hacked psp. my brother has one too..problem is I dont want to buy another battery; I’ve bought one b4 n it was a fake one. dont want to wast anymore money. I heard with pandora battery there is a way to switch it back to normal. Is that true? thanks for the help by the way

Comment by hiTsu
2008-07-01 15:33:53

Of course you can revert the battery back to normal after using it.
The application that turns the battery into a Pandora Battery can also change it back.
You can even backup the original data from the battery with this tool.

readme.txt’s are there for a reason u know!

umm maybe someone should find a different method besides pandora cause not everyone can get hold of a hacked psp,thx god my psp is hacked cause if not then i’d never be able to get pandora done, i was lucky enough when they had the lemmings downgrader or watever game it was.lol.anyway DA keep up the good work

My PSP is slim firmware version 3.90 m33-2. I have downloaded the version 4.01m33-2 from this site. Is there a special way of installing the newer version without producing problems with my PSP? I was able to download before the plain 4.01, but I had a problem with downloading the games. There was a deduction in my memory, but II cannot view the game in the game section. Thank you. Please reply ASAP.

I seem to be having trouble installing this kernel add-on.

I am currently running 4.01 M33-2 on a Phat PSP.
ISO Games run fine. UMD Games run fine.

I have placed the install file on PSP\GAME4XX
I get an error: The game could not be started. (80010002)
I have tried running the install file from PSP\GAME\ as well.

I have my kernel setting on 4xx in the configuration menu.
I used the 1.50 kernel patch on 3.90 previously.
Now I am unable to run any 1.50 homebrew applications.

I also get another error on certain homebrew applications (kxploited ones; NAME and NAME% folders)

8002014C - Ran kxploited homebrew without Homebrew enabled firmware.

So I’m unable to run any eboots/homebrew right now? I don’t understand how this happened.

Any solutions? Please and thank you.

Quick question. I used to be running 3.40 M33 and had several PS1 games I converted myself. What I’ve found is that after upgrading the firmware I lose my icons on my PS1 saved games. They switch to an Icon of Alucard whenever I save my game.

Is there a fix? Do I need to convert my games differently?

Comment by maddeath
2008-07-26 10:53:39

all you need to go is change the size of your icons to 80×80. this is couse of some thing sony placed in the FW that made it so ps1 games would not run unless they were from PSN. so just use pop gui and patch the games with a new pic. :)
