Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-4 Released

greg | December 5, 2008

Beep beep — get out the way and make some room… Special delivery from Dark_AleX: custom firmware 5.00 M33-4.

5.00 M33-4 changes:

  • Speed selected for UMD/ISO was not properly locked in some new games that used scePower_EBD177D6 instead of scePowerSetClockFrequency to change speed.
  • UMD/ISO speed settings now apply to PSN games too.
  • Fixed libupdown.prx connecting to dark-alex.org instead of Sony when npsignin_plugin checks for a new version and M33 update is enabled.
  • ISO file descriptor was not closed in driver deletion.
  • Added a shutdown command to vshmenu.

Download:
Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-4 Update
Custom Firmware 5.00 M33
PSP Firmware 5.00 Update EBOOT (rename to 500.PBP)

has anyone noticed that when you move left and right across the xmb menu such when you go along photos to music to and on… it moves hell slower than normal, it jerks along but it looks hell good.

Has anyone tried testing their internet connection in network settings? In my case, it obtains the IP address from the router but it just gets stuck in testing the internet connection. However when I connect to the internet using the browser or Playstation Network everything is fine. This has been the case since 5.00 m33-3 or lower I think.

Just wondering….

I’m still on CFW 3.71
I love it,Everything works like a dream.

Now I need to know that all the Emu’s will work on this
(NES,SNES….)

Also, Can I just download the
“Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-4 Update”

And install over my 3.71?

Comment by sinwarrior
2008-12-06 19:51:14

no, you need to update to 5.00m33 first then u can reach 5.00m33-4

so with this version, the check for updates icon in psp menu will search dark alex.org for a new m33 update or something?

 
Comment by DNMEBOY
2008-12-06 02:30:40

It has always been that way if you choose to enable that option in the recovery menu.

But anyway my vsh menu does not appear and yes it is enabled in recovery menu….

No clue how to fix it.

Dark Alex, please be your next update is 5.01 M33… please please please :( I had missed so much fun with the other homebrew things that 5.01 OFW can’t run. Stupid stupid stupid, I hope really that there will be a 5.01 m33 update or 5.02 m33.

It doesnt matter if he makes cfw 5.01m33.
you still need to find a way to downgrade your psp so you can use any cfw.and dont bother asking how to do it here.use google.

Comment by jeremy
2008-12-06 21:25:23

it shouldn’t matter. just change the version.txt or something and enable using that in the recovery, it should be by default. If you have official firmware higher than 5.00, or any other official besides 1.50, you need to downgrade or use pandora. no need to update to the newest firmware haha.

Make sure you completely turn off (cold boot, press and hold power switch about 5 seconds or remove battery out and put back) ur psp. One click power switch on (no need to press and hold power switch) and hold R triger. I update both my psp fat and slim, all work fine.

don’t forget to boot into recovery menu
and change game folder from 1.50 kernel to whatever the other kernel is you have.

“Added a shutdown command to vshmenu.”

Hmmm… I wonder why he didn’t add it earlier ? (Like 3.51 M33 for instance.)

My NES Emulator (Nester) and my GBASP emulator both havent worked since I upgraded to the 5.00 M33-x firmwares…everything else works fine…

Anyone else have this problem?

Any possible solutions?

Hi Links,

I upgraded from 3.90 M33-3 and all the emulators still work. The emulators in the folder \PSP\GAME380\ did not appear on my PSP after the upgrade. You need to move everything from the \PSP\GAME380 folder to the \PSP\GAME150\ folder and they will appear back on the PSP. Cheers
