Sony PSP - Image 1Homebrew developer Dark AleX has released a CFW 3.80 M33 add-on which allows users to launch homebrew which have not been updated and require the kernel 1.50 to work.

Unfortunately, PSP owners will be unable to install this update on their PSPs via WiFi using the Network Update feature in CFW 3.80 M33 because it is an optional add-on.

If you plan on installing this add-on, be advised that it is only for the PSP Phat. There weren't any instructions included in the compressed file but MrTuto_Alek, one of the ExoPhase members, was nice enough to provide the method for installing the program:

Instructions

  • Copy the files in the release to a directory called anything BUT UPDATE
  • Move the UPDATE directory to /PSP/GAME/.
  • Get sony 1.50 update and copy it to the root with name "150.PBP"
  • Run the program and done.

Download: CFW 3.80 1.50 Kernel add-on

Thanks to tipster valyr, Chivasoj, and Buttonsoft for the hot tip!

shows up as corrupted for me when i put it in ms0:/PSP/UPDATE/


   Re: willytate - 2008-01-15
 » found the problem

the instructions on this site are wrong, it has to be in a folder OTHER THAN "UPDATE" :-p

   Re: xCHRISx - 2008-01-15
 » RE:

should be PSP/GAME/UPDATE

and put update1.5 in root, rename to 150.PBP
unless its already named that o_O

   Re: gr8one698 - 2008-01-15
 » solution

for all that get corrupted icon, put 1.50eboot into root of memory stick and name 150.pbp. instead of putting the update folder in psp/game put it in your 3.80 folder. it should appear and follow instructions after that. hope that helps.

I updated my CFW to 3.80 M33, but now i can't access my games folder on my 4gb + 1gb ms.

Something tells me you guys who can't see your games FORGOT TO RENAME GAME371 TO GAME380.

You will see corrupted data if the folder is named update. I changed my folder name to YOHOMEY and it worked fine....seriously, just change it to somethign besides update.

 » EBOOT

@all

for those who has problems recognizing update eboots. just rename it to 380,150,352 etc without .PBP ( e.g "380") WITHOUT QUOTES.

 » Not to be mean but ...

In the instructions you say
Move the UPDATE directory to /PSP/GAME/
I would assume that after most people installed the firmware, they deleted/removed this folder, what would be the point of keeping it on the MS. Maybe your instructions should take this into considerations.

I just think your instructions should be more bullet-proof for those people who are less adept.

B.T.W. Thanks once again DA for the hard work you do!

 » que?

i downloaded this from the DAX website a few hours ago and just dumped it on my MS in the UPDATE folder under GAME, ran it and all is fine! time baby works, pspcomic works...
I didn't need the 150.PBP...

to QJ.net: i also sent you guys a mail about the release, since it wasn't on QJ then (about 4 hours ago), would've like to see my name with the tipsters, better luck next time i guess

and to DAX and team m33 ofcourse, thx for a great release.

1.50.PBP was already in root of memorystick

tis was easy update idk why so many people were confused instructions was very simple ty dax

   by Dougie321 - 2008-01-15
 » Thats weird

I think its weird that you call the directory anything but update cause its usually update, cant see why it should be.

but some psx games I can't run. I cannot run Resident Evil 2 past the police station anymore. The screen just goes black. I even changed the game id.


   Re: Ram_Chow - 2008-01-15
 » Re:

Perhaps your version of the game's corrupt. I have Resident Evil 2 and it worked just fine, even before this CFW was released. If you have the disk yourself, why not try making a homebrew?

DONT Label (VolumeLabel) the Memory Stick.
connect your PSP to the PC, rightclick on MemoryStick -> Properties -> The Namefield MUST be blank!!!. Then the stick will work

 » Memory Card Access after flashing 3.80

For some reason I found on the two phat units I flashed yesterday to 3.80m33 that all of the data on the cards seemed to be missing when viewed through the PSP. I corrected this minor issue by copying the data off of the PSP's in Windows, then formatting the memory sticks using the PSP and copying the data back. Odd but livable.

Thanks for the new FW DAX!

Wait, what do they mean by "copy it to the root?" Which root? The memory stick's root?, or the root of the folder you just created? help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 » READ! i figured it out

ok so you put the UPDATE folder from the kernal and put it in a folder called GAME150
PSP/GAME150/UPDATE

if you do not have a folder called this make one but make it beside the other game folder

Well 3.80 has an internet radio and for me I can now remote play with my ps3 again..... TY DAX !!!!


I do however have a question:

I want to reinstall 3.80-M33 , I have it installed right now but with the 1.50 kernel addon.. would it be better to use pandora and drop to 3.71m33 then back up to 3.80m33?

I want the Location Free Player feature back and I realized the I don't really use the 1.50 kernel that much.

could i just rerun DAX's 3.80 M33?

guess I could try it but I'd rather hear what the gurus have to say......


   Re: dieselboy27 - 2008-01-17
 » locationfree

so, if you don't have 1.50 kernel installed locationfree is still there? did you try out locationfree before you installed the 1.50 kernel?

i am using 3.71m33-4 firmware i have a few iso games that i can't get on my memory stick and i would like to play my games via usb but when i try to get the right plugins and stuff to do it its for an older firmware can someone please help me on how to get this to work on this firmware if at all possible please it would be a great help

 » IR SHELL :)

If you have 3.71m33-4 then you are in luck because you can use the UsbHost function on iR Shell, which will let you access files through a usb cable I believe

www.irshell.org has guides for the program
