Custom Firmware 5.00 M33 Released
greg | October 17, 2008
To Sony’s face with the belt… Dark_AleX, world-renowned PSP heavyweight, has released custom firmware 5.00 M33 into the wild. Get it while it’s hot folks…
5.00 M33 changes:
- 4.01 to 5.00
- Bug fix: when changing speed in xmb, and the psp turned the brightness to 0 automatically the speed was reset to 222 again.
Note to pspstates plugin users: this plugin won’t work in this firmware due to it being made specifically for 4.01. Running it in 5.00 M33 can cause problems, wait until an update of plugin.

Woo-hoo! sweet news! i’m gonna try it out now!
oh… and first post, baby!
iv upgraded my psp but now my pmp videos dont seem to work on pmp advanced player it says loading then it goes bk to main ppa screen. why is this? is pmp crap now?
on a second note… dark-alex is the man!
can someone tell me if all the ISOs that used to work in 3.90-m33 will work with this firmware?
works great under m33 driver
hehehehehehehehehehe pleh spamy fuckin spam up
Dark Alex…you are an absolute GOD. I believe! Amen!
Seriously, way to go!
Ok, peeps. I’m gonna be the guinea pig and try this out, and i’m gonna come right back and tell ya’ll if iso’s work fine! if it no work, then i’m goin back to 4.01 M33.
yeah it worked fine on mine
Fast work as always Dark Alex!
Nice one, will download in a bit.
Darn, I won’t get a chance to try this until I get home from work. I have the psp-1001 model (phatty). Can anyone tell me if they tried it on their phatty model ad if it worked?
works
ok, so heres an early verdict: PSP ISO’s (iso’s of real games of course) work on this custom firmware. But alot of other homebrew that pretty much rely’s on 1.50 kernel wont work. I’m sure that just like with 4.01, theres gonna have to be a 1.50 kernel plugin for 5.00 M33.
Thats just what I’ve just tried right now. If anybody else gets different results, cool
Full screen feature isn’t there osk isn’t that great and custom themes are no more and there may not be an update with the weird offsets in use. I switched back to 4.01m33-2
i have a phat.
Do i need a kernal?
like 4.01 m33-2?
installed it, great stuff.
Amazing. He must be more man than machine.
If only I wasn’t at work, so I could try this out! Very Excited.
Will the custom themes be available on this new firmware?
At the moment, custom themes are not working:( Excellent CFW but I’m gonna switch back to previous CFW until this is resolved…
Strange…I got the blue bricked screen on my phat but I held the off button and it came back. Works now though.
Great job D_A. Thanks
oh yeah! i didn’t expect it out so soon, but kudos to alek. i’m going on a trip tommorow and this is kinda the best news. thanks alek, thanks psp-hacks!
I feel kinda dumb for asking but can I update to this from 3.90M33 or do i have to update to 4.01 then to 5.00 ?
you can do a direct update ;)
& dont feel dumb for asking, its the smartest thing to do
It is better to ask a noob question and be pointed in the right direction than to walk about blind and screw up your PSP. :)
Noob question. still using 3.52m33-4. OK to update straight to this version?
Won’t I get any creds for tipping?
same question as blind man. anyone help plzz.
OK guys i tried out 5.0 and here what works….
ISOs
Homebrew (2.xx and above kernel)
CWCheat
What Doesnt Work:
Homebrew (1.50 kernel….add-on obviously needed)
Popsloader (yeah psx games dont work…..at least ones that were converted to eboot FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)
Add custom themes to that list but who cares the crew will be working on it all as we speak. :)
No use to me at the moment, until I have the 1.50 kernel. But still, this was unexpectedly fast. Dark Alex is amazing.
That’s awesome, although i dont like it when unnecessarily u say things like ‘in ur face sony’ etc. its really not needed.
@Blind Man: No, you don’t need to update to any other FW versions first as long as you have a M33 version to start with.
@Everyone else: Doesn’t seem to work on my slim. Then again, all I’m running are .cso files, but not a bloody one seems to work. Not only that, but I can’t connect to my router anymore either.
Sorry, but keep in mind all those .cso files were running just fine on 4.01. The heck?
u_u
get a damn umd
or change the driver to any other than normal
Cool…cant wait for DC8
Firmware actually are different, who knew? But I agree, strange.
Just reinstalled the CFW. Every single .cso file I have now does not work and neither does connecting to my WLAN. The hell?!
Have you checked if you are using the M33 driver or the NP9660? I noticed when I installed that it needed to reset my settings and therefore nothing started cause nothing was turned on :)
This might be a stupid question, but in the event if I don’t like the new 5.00 firmware, how do I downgrade back to 4.01? Do I just run the file from the memory card or do I have to run a downgrader program?
one word…. Pandora
WORKS!
to fix cso and iso problems: you have to set startup into recovery mode (startup while holding power and right-trigger for about 5 seconds)
in the recovery mode, got to “configuration” and set “UMD mode” to “M33 driver-NO UMD-”
go back and exit, psp will reboot and all will be dripping nicely
I’m such a tool… I figured that out about 5 seconds before I read your post. Still not sure why the router isn’t connecting though…
Umm on my slim I just push the SELECT button to bring up the M33 VSH Menu and then scroll down and scroll across and it is done. :)
nice, a much faster way, hadn’t thought of that!
Thank you! I couldn’t figure that out for the life of me, and it turns out to be the simplest thing.
you can just press select on the psp in the main home menu and it comes up with the speed, usb connection mode, umd driver mode, reset the psp and some more, its alot eayser.
OMG ownage SONY got PWND in the face ridiculously quick.
SNES, PICODRIVE, SMSPSP, GPSP_KAI all work on my PSP and even some other plugins….but my CTF’s do not, so forget it I will stay on 4.01
All of my cso’s function but pops doesn’t. (Fffffff) error
on dax’s site is a link with info on this problem
dark-alex.org
thanks!replaced my popcorn.prx with the new one and pops is back! fu*k yeah!
router problems?
you have to re-enter the network settings, worked for me.
in xmb, go to settings>network settings and run setup
Did this. Also updated router firmware to no avail. Running a DGL-4500. Have it configured to run in G & N mode with WAP/WAP2 TKIP & AES. No friggin’ idea what’s wrong. Tried a handy PSP phat as well to no avail.
dude.. the PSP does not support 802.11G or N only B
i was having the same problem, but then i tried spoofing my MAC adress and now it works.
Mine reset to the defaults so I had to put it all in again. Worked fine.
Is it my imagination or is the net running even faster through this firmware? I’m on a cable connection and my net on my PSP sucked so I generally left it alone but now it seems to move as a cable page should move. Freaking fast.
*shrugs* Maybe I’m dreaming.
Dark Alex The King !!!!!
wow way to go DAX! 5.00 was a major-er update then 4.00! thanks
aaargh the horror of it all:
then != than
as usual DA im speechless ur the man cant wait for m33-2 with 1.5 kernel
thanx alex
everthing works so i’m not sure what the above people are talking about. thanks alot!
Is anyone able to log into the PSN store. I wanna play with it.
logged in and bought street fighter alpha (psx)
I have noticed that whaen testing wifi connection, the results now show:
UPNP status & NAT Type.
Mmm?
Sorry for posting again, there is also more scrolling info about connection at bottom of screen.
Had psp 4.01 M33 and tried to upgrade to 5.00 M33. downloaded both files, the sony 5.00 and the 5.00 m33 install. Followed instructions, just like the many times before with m33 firmware upgrades. The exctact went fine, the installer started, copied all the files fine. when complete install of 5.00 m33 it says press X to restart. PSP restarted, and opened up to the screen with MANY different languages telling you to hit O to reset default settings. Only problem is.. hitting O or any button, the psp stays stuck at that intial screen. Can anyone help?? I am looking for ways to fix without having to go buy a spare battery to make a pandora. First time this has ever happened with a M33 install.
seems there was a brick, mine was fine during the process
i mean it seems yours is bricked
I had the same screen. It reset fine though. yeah I lost all my settings but that was all.
From previous CFWs readme’s it says before you update to change to a normal theme, i.e. no personal background picture or anything and just the wavey line thingy, as if you don’t it has problems. That’s what happened here and it’s nothing to worry about when i’ve done it (twice now despite knowing this) but to avoid it just go to a default theme before updating.
i use this 5.00 m33 buy my psp tell that the game could not be started(80020148) my psp version is 4.05..how will i doo… reply me please
G O O G L E
will tell you all about it
You have to use pandora to go from an official firmware such as 4.05 to a custom firmware. Go check out the forums here.
I think im gonna stick with 4.01M33 till the kinks are worked out and all my favorite software works (1.50 kernel!!!!).
i tried it but went back to 3.90 M33-3. i liked it, but i just can’t leave IrShell.
>.<
u stupid! irshell will be coming 5.00 m33 before you know it!
Dont you mean your stupid? stupid. And there was no ir shell for 4.01m33. What makes you think there will be for 5.00m33?
impossible is nothing…just like NIKE’s moto
the person who made irshell gave up on the psp is wut i think Infinity meant to say
yeah i tried 4.01 and dldnt like it, irshell is the best!
i have never used a homebrew fw but have the sony 5.0 how do/or can i still switch
Dude you are fucking amazing im going to try it out will it still play CSO files from the ISO folder? ALEX IS THE MAN
do i need a pandora battery to update from 4.01m33-2 to 5.00m33???
No just put the update in the game folder then run it might need to connect to the internet
better still,
make sure the network update option in the recovery menu is set to “M33 update” and then run the network update in the XMB.
the offical firmware (which you also need) will also be downloaded automatically, just follow the instructions.
Just tried it and the CSO files worked LOVE THE NEW UPDATE
My observations on 5.0M33 so far:
Most features seem to work OK on PSP Slim (ISO/CSO of PSP games, homebrew software for >1.5 kernal like PSPRhythm 8.0, PSPSeq 3.01).
There is one very annoying bug though, and makes me wonder if I should revert back to 4.01 M33-2 (and is there an easy way to do so – noob help here please):
PS1 EBOOTs are working fine for the most part for me (no FFFF errors like other posters are mentioning). But the CD audio in those EBOOTs that used to work ok, are now dead silent. The system sounds (i.e. EFX) work ok, the startup videos audio is audible, but the actual in game music is not playing.
I’ve got Air Combat, Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere, Wipeout, Wipeout XL, Wipeout 3 SE, Macross VF-X, Baby Universe, and N20: Nitrous Oxide all ripped as EBOOTs. The audio songs in Baby Universe work ok (original on disc as XA format audio instead of standard CD Audio). N20 does not even display anything after the PS1 startup logo. You can hear some video audio playing (but not see anything), then after a minute or so the audio and screen are dead silent. All of the Ace Combat and Wipeout games startup videos play fine (audio and video), the games work ok with in-game sound effects, but the CD Audio music tracks ripped to the EBOOTs (which worked fine in 4.01M33-2 and before) now do not play any music whatsoever.
HELP!!!! (sorry for the long post, but wanted to clarify my problem in case DAX or anybody else has a quick fix for this very annoying problem). If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to begrudingly revert back to 4.01 M33-2.
Was able to revert back to 4.01M33-2 using Hellcat’s Recovery Flasher. Thanks to a kind soul on DAX’s IRC english channel for pointing me in that direction. Everything is working ok like before (CD Audio playing in PS1 EBOOTs, N20 playing normally).
Please, DAX or another M33 team member: figure out why it’s doing this weird thing in 5.0M33, unless Sony’s fubared it themselves for non-Playstation Store PS1 EBOOTs in the OFW 5.0 and therefore CFW 5.0M33. I’d love to have access to CFW 5.0 with the extra features, including the PS Store (if they ever release the Wipeout Pulse DLC in the US that is), but I’m not willing to give up basic functionality in playing my PS1 games for that.
Anyways, thanks for all your hard work, both past & future.
Final update with good news (almost a month later):
Tonight I decided to try again, this time with the latest 5.0M33-3 CFW. Installed 5.0M33-3 successfully, N2O was playing the video properly this time (not just blank screen with FMV audio). Still no audio in any of my PS1 EBOOTs.
I was able to get this to work, and while I haven’t done thorough testing yet (just a couple of my PS1 titles: AC1 and N2O), it appears there is a workaround to 5.0’s PS1 audio issues. Use the 4.01 version of the POPSloader included in the RAR files uploaded by ShaggyZE in the other thread a few news items above this one.
http://www.realz2reelz.com/SEPLUGINS.rar
If you extract the .RAR files to the seplugins directory on your Memory Stick Pro Duo when you start a PS1 game you should be able to choose between about 15 different versions of the POPSLoader to start your PS1 game with, from 3.0-4.01, plus the currently installed in flash 5.0M33-3 version. I chose the 4.01 version, and my PS1 games appear to function completely normally now (as far as I can tell).
Hope this helps other 5.0M33-3 users with similar problems with PS1 EBOOTS.
i cant install the 5.00..
does anyone know what should i do?
it said that the new firmware does not exist..
did u follow the instructions? just in case, download the cfw 5.00 m33 and the ofw 5.00.
extract cfw 5.00 m33 and after that copy the update folder the ur memory card to x:\psp\game\ (x being the letter of ur memory card). then, extract the ofw 5.00 and rename it to 500.pbp and run it. hope this help.
Is this FW working for PSP Phat?
5.00 M33? That was fast.
Good Job DA. However until 1.50 Kernel and a working CXMB add on for this FW is release, only time I’m gonna update.
Will it work on the new PSP (PSP_3000) ??
once its hacked!
Weird for most of you with errors. Mine installed flawlessly. I can run all my CSOs, WiFi works, no settings reset screen, all is peachy :D
BTW, I’m not currently using CFW, so that hasn’t been tested, but I suppose it’s a FACT that they have to be recoded anyways.
Oh, and I have not tried PS1 games yet. For some reason, I haven’t been able to recode an eboot properly ever since 4.01 came out. Maybe Impaler’s multi-disc eboot maker isn’t even supposed to work anymore and i didn’t know about it? comment here if you know of any multi-disc popstation eboot maker that does work. I have games like parasite eve and ff7 i’d like to still play :D
i had a flawless install also (god of war psp-and manual install)
mine is the god of war psp as well :D go figure…
crap, i didn’t mean to write “i’m not using CFW…I meant I’m not usig PS1 games…my mind sometimes wanders
I think i’ll stop nesting this now
Is there an 1.50 kernel adds-on for this CFW?
OMG! THanks dax!
yeah im wondering if anybody knows about the 150kernel???? and ………..does the PSN store work for this????????????????????????????????????????????????
Is the remotejoylite working on firmware 5.0?
remotejoy v0.17b works for me
Waiting for 1.50 Kernel for firmware 5.00 M33!
“Dark_AleX, world-renowned PSP heavyweight”
I lol’d. Nice one Greg.
so anyone got any info on what the best/latest popstation eboot compiler is (multi-disc)?
update was successful w00t! like the new keyboard layout and simple theme! none of my homebrews work right now so waiting for 1.50 kernel! long live Alex!
Dark-Alex deserves a statue!
This guy rocks ‘em all!
Thanks again!
i have psp v4.01m33 and i update to v5.00 but now i can’t update 5.00m33 . Why? I have no idea.please help
because u updated to a official firmware.
use pandora. be careful next time. nway, dax, please dont die in another 100 or 200 years. just in case I’ll be reincarnated. ;)
i think like psp would be already be extincted in about 10 or 20 years :P
what will be the new features in my psp phatty if i made it 5.00 m33 from 4.01 m33-2??????????
love the full screen keyboard layout.
just try it out. there’s nothing to loose. by the way, mine’s phat too.
What about 1.50 kernel or the pops.The other bad is there isn’t many themes for now-if you wait a week or two these all will be resolved and you’ll see how good is 5.00m33
is the CFW 5.00 m33 like the frimware 5.00 of sony?.
cfw 5.00 m33 is an add on the make the original firmware from sony to become a costume firmware. its still the same firmware but with some extras.
custom not costume. sorry about that.
ok here’s a noob question. is this the osk?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/31142331@N05/2951198303/
if so whats so different?
nope,
push select-button to get the new layout (while in text-input window)
btw: there’s a lot of people asking stupid questions, please google around for a bit before posting these questions
hey..if you download the 5.00 m33 from above…will it ask you to download again in the psp??????answer ASAP!!..please
?what? if u update from above its a manual install. if u update from the network update in the xmb it does it automatically. your choice.
cant update twice to the same fw
5.00 m33 is only the file that makes the original firmware to become a custom. that is why ur psp is asking it to download the original firmware so that it can install the original firmware and modify it to a custom firmware.
hmmm wonder how the full keyboard on screen would work when that one guy who made a psp mod for touchscreen made his own keyboard heh
i put the one above in my psp..then i start it..then now its downloading onre more time..but the size is 25 MB..??..is it correct???
yes
my phat (originally 4.01 m33) updated just fine using network update..but recovery menu says i CAN run homebrew using 1.50 kernal already? did it keep the 4.01 1.50 kernal update?
also have to find this onscreen keyboard that everyone likes so much : )
@crshovveride: that’s the one I found.. I too am wondering if this is the one that is supposed to be new…
@don_viper: yes 25 mb is correct
ok so its not just me………
update: the NEW onscreen keyboard is laid out as a QWERTY keyboard. to get to it press SELECT when seeing the original keyboard and it will change
thanks. makes sense now.
These step by steps really should say which update folder from what file what ?
K the renaming must be done on FILE inside The renamed folder plus “thAt” file IS then put inSIDE the first installed update folder from 5.00M33 already put on psp. To simple still..
like most ppl ima wait for a 1.5 kernel be4 i update
but still props to the man who made it happen
Just Got The Blue screen try to Reset The psp But Notting Show On The Screen But Still Get The Green Power Light On
I just pressed O and it worked after that.
I’ve rendered nethostfs under Irshell useless now. Does anyone know any other options to get nethostfs working again?
Bricked my phat w/broken umd drive. Error at 92%. Good thing I have a Pandora. Guess I will need o wait for new Despertar Cementerio to update to 500m33.
Anyone with a broken UMD drive successfully update to 500m33?
i have the same problem -_-
my psp is modified 4.01 then i update it into 5.00 its ok but there is no games in the main menu i check the games in iso folder its there HELP ME PLS……..
i think u updated to a official firmware. use pandora. check on forums. be careful and read instruction carefully next time.
Really need help here. Mine was way behind like 2.xx version so being a newbie, I stupidly went to downlaod the version 5.00 firmware. Then now all my iso, cso don’t work.
Found this homebrew and I was really happy but after I have d/l the m33 cfw, I tried to run it but it says game is corrupted.
Am I missing any steps here? I was using m33 earlier but that was done by a dealer so I am trying to fix the prob myself. Pls kindly advise.
Thanks kind souls…
use pandora. read on forums.
Press select in your xmb and change umd iso mode into: SonyNP….(few numbers) and then you can play your iso’s and other homebrew like the M33 updates!!
i dont like this firmware just yet. pops is broken so is cwcheat and cxmb. you best to stick to 4.01 untill the 5.00 cfw gets updated.
Do i need to upgrade my 3.xx firmware to 4.01 first before upgrading to 5.00, or can the process skip 4.01?
the readme doesn’t offer much info about this.
i just upgraded to 5.00 m33 and it wont let my psp be detected on the computer is just says please wait and nothing happens
Sick, i only wish $ony would do something real with the updates because its getting kinda old seeing the same darn thing.
maybe they will someday add a update to?
(or add on )
Flash player (wow that’s so need an update)
True youtube (you know new option in XMB)
psp Docs (so you can view doc, text, acrobat, etc.)
Ghost_Mode (so you can make the wave move to front of your background)
Browser_2.0 with options, this one is going to be long here we go!
i say 2.0 only because well we know 1.0 sucks and is haven’t seen an update past them adding it to the psp, plus you don’t really use it that much and you know why?
because it sucks!, come on! it does suck its like that thing was made for windows 95 or something plus its super slow, not connection slow but page download slow and at no time do i ever use it…
Okay to that effect i say change it to something a little better like
Firefox/Google chrome, and make it use your memory stick duo as a way to use.
extra ram (i give up 100mb for ram! trust!)
cookies (hummed in low voice page load 4x faster)
guess that all i need to say about that thing
because i can go on and on but seeing as sony don’t have time to do any of these things, it only seams like they only have time to play Tag with Dark_Alex you think by now they get the idea he is going to hack your 400,000.00 a month/two months new code in ha ha ha 2 or 3 days.
oh yeah if any true programmers are out there
out side of DAX please make a new Browser for this thing whe psp world will thank you for it.
PS sorry about the long post!
you know a side note to the themes thing i only use the one theme and that’s the one that make the icons in the XMB look like the icon on the IPhone and it works under 5.00 this is a theme i got off some site a long time ago and threw all updates it still work sweet *note this is not the thing that make it look like a full Iphone witch i find to be dumb but just the icons are changed
The_watcher: Have fun fraging ppl
EOF
yap.. i already update it, and it works… thanks alex… but.. my problem is…. the ctf themes doesnt work.. what will i do… to work it again, pls tell me.. or email the answer.. anyone pls…
Thnx DAX, keep up the great work.

Mine has bricked twice while trying to do the update. Restored fine with DC7. Think my nand storage is fucking up. First time after trying to install CFW 5.00 M33 i can’t format Flash1 (just freezes). A nand restore fixes this and then I install CFW 4.01 using DC7 fine.
Guess I’ll just wait for a while, see if anyone else is having teh same issue.

Cause i didn`t read it in the readme like the time before(1.5 flasher`s readme)
thx for all answers
Greetings Cyber
the 5.00 m33 update worked fine on my phat psp with 4.01 m33 … but it bricked my slim psp … tried nandtools by reformating the partitions and it still bricked .. tried idstorage tools and it still bricked … hopefully when dc8 is released it will let me upgrade my psp slim to 5.00 m33 … :(
Yeah me too. Did you use DC7 to unbrick? If so did it have an issue formatting Flash1 (like mine did)?
how do i switch from sony’s 5.00 to the 5.00m33 firm wear i would really appreciate the help
why can’t i register for the psp store? anybody knows?
it’s weird coz I still have 1.50 kernel even Ive already updated to 5.00 and every psn game homebrew I had still working like nothing changed… any similar scenario? and btw, to encode a ctf file on 5.00 CFW you need the 3.90 compatibility tool it won’t work if ur below 4.01 or 3.90 M33 tho. that’s all.
can some1 help plsss…
My system ver is 5.00 but what should i download now so tat i can play iso games?

If you change to custom firmware and opt to go back to OEM firmware, can you?
Also, if you attempt to install new firmware and something goes wrong, leaving you with no firmware in place, Is there a way to somewhat easily get back in action?

ok, recently rehacked my psp on 2-5-09.. apparently sony’s newest firmware keeps you from using most of the programs and game iso’s after the psp has been updated with their latest firmware which came out just a few days ago. i am now having this problem. anyone know any answers to this as i cannot use any of the programs or games even if i rehack it back to 3.9m33 firmware. also tried to give it the latest 5.0m33 again and still no go. was wondering if there is a new fix for this or if i am screwed now.
nevermind.. fixed it.. was a user error
I havent updated the firmware on my device for a while. Still using 3.52M33-4. Ok to update straight to this new version?
Try to run the upgrade file and got message “Game could not be started”. Fat PSP. Any thoughts?
Could some one help me out i’m trying to help my son understand all of this and make a magic stick, and pandora batterie as well as get a iso compressor, but i really don’t understand what is what. amd i downloaded the compressor but i can get it to install, do i need to have the psp lpluged into the computer? please help

K let talk big boy talk. I’m using an old Fat CFW 5.00M33-6. Have a CSO that won’t run. Ran perfect on slim using same ms. No FatMSmod/then w/FatMSmod/ then w/1.5Kaddon no change. Getting 80020148 error. No issue thus far with any other CSO or ISO. What is the special problem I am experiencing. I can flat this back to any CFW needed. Just need fix. CXMB is also experiencing problems. I am sure that it is an issue with my CXMB ver. Can anyone help. I am posting in alot of spots for this one.
