Dark AleX releases CFW 3.80 1.50 Kernel add-on for PSP Phat

Posted Jan 15, 2008 at 5:49AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Firmware, News Tags: Dark AleX

Homebrew 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!

# hmm — willytate 2008-01-15 00:36

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

# found the problem — willytate 2008-01-15 00:39

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

# RE: — xCHRISx 2008-01-15 00:39

should be PSP/GAME/UPDATE

and put update1.5 in root, rename to 150.PBP

unless its already named that o_O

# solution — gr8one698 2008-01-15 00:43

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.

# yeah — xCHRISx 2008-01-15 00:44

i havnt dont it yet,

i just replied with what was stated above..

damn, shouldnt have trusted qj ;]

# Folder CANNOT be named update — Jubbjubb 2008-01-15 00:49

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.

# mmm — darkXjony 2008-01-15 00:52

x:/PSP/GAME380/UPDATE

# Thanks for all your heads up! — Guest 2008-01-15 00:53

the instructions have been updated with the correct one. you guys beat us to the punch. try refreshing the site. it should be there. =)

# thanks for all your heads up guys! — Guest 2008-01-15 00:56

try refreshing your page. the correct instruction should be there already

# EBOOT — Lucky_Bastard 2008-01-15 01:26

@all

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

# Thanks — LuPuLu 2008-01-15 01:45

Thanks!

# Not to be mean but ... — J0539h 2008-01-15 01:52

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? — eddib 2008-01-15 01:54

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.

# Thanks DAX! — ssjnaruto 2008-01-15 01:56

This is awesome. Kernel 1.50 released already! ^^ Going to update right now.

# tthanx — cilokid 2008-01-15 02:27

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

# Thats weird — Dougie321 2008-01-15 02:42

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

# thanks — sickofitall 2008-01-15 03:29

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.

# 4 gb memory stick? — mr belgor 2008-01-15 03:33

can anyone access their 4gb memory stick? some people couldnt with the 3.80 m33... or any problems with the new update?

# 4gb memory stick — mr belgor 2008-01-15 03:34

is anyone able to access their 4gb memory sick with 3.80 150 kernel because some people weren't able to with 3.80 m33?

# . — What common sense is really about 2008-01-15 03:36

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

How do i downgrade back to 3.71 M33?

# 4gb memory stick — huonddog 2008-01-15 03:49

i was able to and it works fine

# Memory Card Access after flashing 3.80 — HeLRaZR 2008-01-15 04:04

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!

# 4gb memory stick — pspfan8719 2008-01-15 04:05

I havent had any problems with my 4gb stick with or with out the 150 kernel

# Thanks DA — natcom 2008-01-15 04:35

I like to know what is new about this FW i'm on 3.71m33-4 do i really need to upgrade ?

# psp — daxidiot 2008-01-15 05:24

for those having a problem in 3.80 that is who cant see their homebrw on the game just rename your game folder from game371 to game 380 that all you will be able to view all your homebrew and istall add on kernal

# it works if... — TinyTony 2008-01-15 05:56

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

# sega emu — pspfan8719 2008-01-15 05:57

DGEN doesnt work for 3.80 m33 with the 150 kernel but R13 does.

# Dgen — Binary 2008-01-15 06:43

it works for me!

redownload it!

# not upgrading to this CFW — Metal Jody 2008-01-15 10:08

I tried it and it's too buggy for me. I'm sticking with 3.52 M33-4.

# Works great! — latissimus 2008-01-15 10:19

DAX Rocks!

# help — hatman 2008-01-15 10:31

where does 150.PBP go

# ???????????????????????? — PSPwns 2008-01-15 11:01

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 — .psp_owner. 2008-01-15 11:16

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

# READ! i figured it out — .psp_owner. 2008-01-15 11:18

# ... — FreePlay 2008-01-15 11:33

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

# it worked for me — fiberwire 2008-01-15 11:57

i put it in x:/psp/game380/update

# Re: — Ram_Chow 2008-01-15 13:09

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?

# ... — BrendanL 2008-01-15 16:50

Can someone list me some reasons why I should upgrade from 3.71 M33 to 3.80 M33?

# cuz it feels good ..... lol — Stiletto 2008-01-15 17:48

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......

# I need help — draggerlane 2008-01-15 18:45

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

# ... — FreePlay 2008-01-15 20:52

Was it necessary to repeat what I said, six hours later?

# oops — eddib 2008-01-15 22:11

1.50.PBP was already in root of memorystick

# because.. — shingeta 2008-01-15 22:50

# Perfect — Arliman 2008-01-16 01:43

My PSP is now the best it's ever been. Thanks, Dark Alex.

# update — clouducla 2008-01-16 08:50

there is a new update on dax's page: 380m33_3

# IR SHELL :) — Nascence 2008-01-16 09:10

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

# .. — sickofitall 2008-01-17 01:48

the memory stick's root.

# locationfree — dieselboy27 2008-01-17 01:55

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?

# Error using addon 1.5 — ZodiacD 2008-01-17 20:30

Ok, so I pressed "cross" when it tells me to and after a few seconds, it says...

Cannot decrypt updater prx.

Anyone got any idea why this happened?

# help here! — gray757 2008-01-28 08:07
