Custom firmware 5.02 from Team Omega, XiaoFeiChong |

During the tail end of November, the latest official PSP firmware version (5.02) was released and subsequently decrypted. It doesn't look like a big enough update to warrant an M33 release, but two separate custom firmware versions of the 5.02 firmware have since popped up on the QJ.NET forums.The first comes from XiaoFeiChong. According to the forums, this is a recompiled M33 firmware. The most interesting thing about this release, however, is that it does not support backups. No ISOs, no CSOs, no nothing. If you want to run CFW but don't want the lure of piracy, you may consider giving this a try.
The next one is from a group calling themselves Team Omega. Again, it's 5.02, but it still has support for backups. There's also some "new support for PSX games" mentioned on the forum post along with bug warnings for the pops, but the explanation is a bit hard to wade through. If you update to this, be aware that a lot of your homebrew and plugins will end up broken, as is usually the case with firmware updates.
If you want to learn more about these two custom firmware releases, I recommend clicking on their respective forum links below before you download and install them on your PSP. Still, don't forget to keep a jigkick battery handy.

Positive: The feature is awesome. It gives us a choice of faster load times and less fuss with UMDs on the go. People who respect developers will buy the UMD and just create a back up for personal use, keeping the UMD for a primary source.
Negative: People abuse this feature to the point that its positives are made redundant.
It's no wonder many PSP games don't make profit for the developers or producers... since many just pirate games.
Releasing the 2 versions will change nothing. Since pirates will still have an option and would opt for it. There would also be no reason now, since there are CFWs that allow ISO/CSO use. Biggest part of CFW users would download the ISO version, since most CFW users just download games...
The only way it would work is if more features came out, to make it worthwhile updating to a ISO/CSO non-compatible firmware.

when a point is made redundant it is no longer needed or relevant

@UltimaArmorX, this project was taken over by a new group of Coders, who seem very skilled, and Stormin Norman has returned and is guiding them, they have made quite a difference already to the DaedalusX64 N64 Emulator Beta 1 release, go and check it out, its runs alot more games now, and quicker :o)

Gawd, I wish I had a time machine. Then I could go back to the days of PSP Homebrew before all the idiots came out to play...

This way of thinking is just plain wrong and a little sad. There are so many other great developers out there willing to give something like a CFW to the Homebrew community. Some may even be better than DAX (remember that in the beginning OE and M33 were much the same as the newer CFW's now - many flaws and bugs), but of course they are shunned by everyone because no one can match the "super powers of the Supreme DAX".
Dark_AleX is good. There is no doubt about that, but a lot of people need to stop following him blindly and actually think for themselves for a change.
An example of what I am saying about new CFW Dev's being shunned is when M33 first emerged. Remember how everyone was saying "M33 is so crap. Dark_AleX forever!!", and M33 turned out to include DAX all along.

Pirates (such as myself) will stay on 5.00 M33 and continue to pirate.
Anti-pirates will stay on 5.00 M33 and continue to not pirate.
