CFW 3.51 M33 update: WLAN fix

CFW 3.51 M33 Update: WLAN fix - Image 1If you installed CFW 3.51 M33 on your PSP, you may have noticed that the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) features weren't working on homebrew programs. The M33 team were made aware of this and rolled out a fix.

Apparently, the problem was caused by Sony's 3.51 wlan.prx code and not by M33 code. The 3.51 wlan.prx reportedly affected the 1.50 wlan.prx, stopping WLAN-based homebrew from working. As proof of this, they pointed out that the 3.40 wlan.prx did not have the same problem.

If you want to patch your system, you can download it through the link below. Keep checking back here for more firmware updates and news.

by Gunslinger - 2007-07-15 10:08
» As Usually

Put it in the PSP/Game folder and run from menu

by ps - 2007-07-15 10:09
» just....

just run it trough your XMB if you're on 3.51 m33

by StoneCut - 2007-07-15 10:09
» Um ...

Take the folder with the EBOOT inside it and put it in /PSP/GAME150/ - then run the Update from the XMB.



Dead simple, really ...

gotta say 3.51 XR is looking good too when it comes out but we'll see

by .... - 2007-07-15 11:08
» ....

By the sounds of it, XR isn't coming out anymore... I like this firmware perfectly anyways, basically the same thing that DA would have come out with, which is all I need...while the XR was just adding a bunch of little things that can be done with plugins and other programs already.

by evil_g - 2007-07-15 11:27
» For those who wanna know how to install this patch

1. Download the EBOOT.PBP

2. Go to "USB Connection".

3. Create a FOLDER (u can name e.g WLANFIX) in PSP/GAME150.

4. Put the downloaded EBOOT.PBP in that folder u created in step 3.

5. Exit USB connection.

6. Go to GAME, and run the M33UPDATE.

7. Press "X" when prompted.

8. Switch off your PSP after the update.

9. Turn your PSP back on and the wlan fix is already patched.



Thank you M33! You guys rocks!

F*** XR firmware pj isnt going to come out of the closet RUSSIAN coders for life

by Dark246 - 2007-07-15 11:46
» Nice fix

very easy to install. its clean and simple. just make a folder in your Game150 folder called WLANFix and throw the eboot in there, then run the update from the MS in the XMB. Very easy.

For some reason bootsounds don't work for me now after this patch (neither original or cutom).

by metalspector - 2007-07-15 11:57

I fixed it, seems that recovery settings came back to default after patching and if psp logo is skipped then the boot sound sin't booted

» know your battle

jeez, its one thing that your flaming him over on his topic, but now your bashing him on a topic that isnt even remotely related to him. wtf is your problem? seriously. this has nothing to do with XR, but you feel the need to bash him on this topic too? you gonna bash him next while sitting on the crapper? or anywhere else you can? doing that aint cool to begin with, but if you must, do it there, not in any situation you find the chance. thats a cheap shot

you gotta setup your remote play again and when you do you'll get the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH but after that the settings get reset you then just gotta try setting up remote play again and it works! WOOT!

» thanks for the update and hard work.

you guys sure do complain alot for something that is free and doing you a favor. These guys didnt have to release this stuff but everyone has something negitive to say. If it has bugs then dont download it. Stay with 3.40 and when GOW comes out and you need 3.51 then you'll just have to sit there and wish you updated cause you can't play it. Just thank the guys that made this and be happy.

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/2z4h you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

» The year of the rtard

Do not bite the hand that feeds you. For the simple minded I'll explain: all these dev/mods etc work hard on stuff that is for us, and for free. They don't haveto and sure as hell aren't obliged to, so when someone does have the generousity to give us access to their work either show some gratitude, or if you dont like it you dont need to say anything at all. If i gave you a FREE pizza that didnt have the toppings you liked would you chuck it in my face, or say thankyou and just not eat it? (btw if your answer is that you would chuck it in my face, i think you need counselling). I thank all the people in the psp scene, whether i love or hate their work, its the effort they put into what they create that counts.

On a side note, the wlan fix doesnt work for me, tells me ive already done it, prob all the custom modding ive done. A full reflash of M33 would prob fix it, maybe later ^^

by Nibesto - 2007-07-16 05:52
» :x

I've applied this fix, and none of my net-enabled homebrew applications are working - AFKIM in particular. I even redownloaded it and ran it again to make sure, and it told me the fix had already been applied. Is there something that I'm doing wrong, or what? This is a serious problem.

by Jormangund - 2007-07-16 05:53
» " I think this fix flashes a config se file again you need to delete it if you don't want you config to be all messed up"

I read on Maxconsole forum that only rtc.prx and recovery.prx are flashed, which would effect the config file i presume. But doesnt actually replace it. Also for those that cant get it working, some have said to use the unencrypted 3.40OE wlan.prx. Untested personally.

» New Custom Firmware works fine for me

I've used only the initial m33 custom firmware, backed-up then reformatted my MS, also RESET settings back to default.



Admittedly, I don't use any LAN settings or anything else.



I've been in PSP homebrew only eight or nine months, but I made sure I read things properly every time I've updated to various custom firmwares.



This is actually quite a good custom firmware for the non TA-082 mb's, so figure some complaints on it come from things related to the more difficult MB's, programs that need a bit of updating to the newer custom firmware to make compatible, or something similar.



Then there's people trying to do things without knowing really the full steps to do it. Like the person wanting to go back to firmware 3.40...question...DID you go back to 1.50 FIRST before doing the 3.40 setup? Doesn't necessarily work if you try to go back from m33 directly to 3.40.



Technically, I'm still a newbie...but I read as much as I could before doing anything with the custom firmwares...you do that, you don't embarrass yourself.



We needed these Russian coders, and I agree they've done us a good turn. Prior to them, I was wondering how we'd all do without DA. They don't mind bug reports but lay off the crappier comments. They HAVE taken us further as we needed.
