PSP Firmware 5.01 Released with the Quickness

greg | October 22, 2008

With the quickness indeed — Sony has officially released PSP firmware 5.01. The update is said to correct issues relating to larger capacity PRO Duos. Namely users who own an 8 or 16 GB stick were left with an insufficient space error when downloading content from the PlayStation Store.

I hope that the new stuff that dark alex has made for 5.00 m33 will work on the 5.01 or 5.0 m33-2 coz it would have been a waste to make them if everyones gonna upgrade to 5.01 m33 or 5.00 m33-2 whateva one gets chosen to be made, but i got a 8gb sony memory syick, not magic gate surported but it works fine for me on 5.00 m33

it should say next to the download thats its not the custom firmware verson!!! i almost installed it

but it already indicates that its not a custom firmware since it doesnt have “M33″ at the end of the firmware number…that right there is all the info you need to know if its cfw or not dude. Thats why its also good to read the description of the post, to know if its cfw as well.

anyways DAX doesnt need to make a cfw out of this one, they are just fixin a bug on that playstation store thing, and i doubt anyone who has cfw on their psp uses that feature anyways

So you accuse everyone with a cfw to be a pirate? …

well, it’s not too far from realtity but i still think, that psn store is a step into the right direction.

I have already downloaded many things from the store even though I have custom firmware.

And my 8GB memory stick works fine with the current M33 firmware.

You sir have failed, will just be patched no 5.01 for u.

He wouldnt do 4.05 because it was a waste of his time so he released a plugin for PSN.

Will be the same again.

Dax probably will just patch it so that we can still connect to the Store. Since he just finished 5.00 M33-2 and nothing was really added to 5.01..

you see, i’m pretty sure sony did this just to f*ck up the ones using custom firmware. i have a 4 gig stick, works perfectly, someone above has 8 gig says it works perfectly. i’m a little scheptical about this 5.01.

The popcorn.prx was actually really easy to fix. If you enter USB mode in the recovery, just go into the kd directory (Where the prx files are.) and drag the popcorn.prx into it.

Was very easy, no mess.

fast one !
I’m sure that DA can fix it just with a patch like 5.00 m33-2 or sth like that.

K just some tips to get it started:

If you have a CFW (custom firmware) mainly any of the M33 CFW, then you just need to put the .cso file (NOT the folder) into the iso folder in the PSP Memory Stick. Once done with that, there are 2 options:

If you have 4.91 M33 CFW and below: you should put a umd drive in your psp in order to play the game, which is located in the games section when playing the PSP.

If you have 5.00 M33 CFW and above: You can do the same as above, or easier is to “hold R when the PSP is booting (starting up) and a recovery menu should come up. From there goto Configuration then Click on UMD mode and set to M33 drive -NO UMD-. Then back and exit to the main screen. Now, you can play your .cso.
