Mathieulh: 3.80 M33 CFW works perfectly now, almost done *UPDATE*

PlayStation Portable - Image 1 


More good news about the highly-anticipated Sony PlayStation Portable 3.80 M33 custom firmware, and this bit comes directly from none other than Mathieulh himself. It seems that as of this writing, the unreleased custom firmware is already in proper working order and boots perfectly. It runs all existing homebrew program in User Mode as well. This in itself should already be great news, as we're pretty much guaranteed a safe, non-bricking and still awesome CFW to play with. Why, then, isn't it released yet?

Mathieulh reports that there are still something that Dark AleX needs to iron out before declaring 3.80 M33 a finished product - namely, the NIDs Resolver that allows the launch of homebrew programs in Kernel mode. It will also help in making sure that all the plug-ins present will be usable without any extensive modifications. It's safe to say that while this doesn't sound like much, it's still a very important (and very time-exhaustive) thing to work on, so we'll just have to be patient until DAX ties up all the loose ends.

UPDATE: Those hoping to pick up the 3.80 M33 custom firmware may have to wait a few more days. It's come to our attention that Mathieulh has given a small update on the work for the CFW. According to him, work is currently being finished on the NIDs Resolver, and we may very well see a release within the next week or so.

That being said, we suppose everyone will just have to keep patient in the meantime. We'll keep checking around for updates, just in case in comes out sooner than expected, so feel free to keep QJ bookmarked for the latest updates on the upcoming CFW.

You make a non-glitchy, perfect CFW for 3.80, or any firmware version, then release it extremely quickly. Then come talk to me. Otherwise, shut the hell up plz.

i think DAX should make 2 3.80 M33's, 1 thats perfect, and 1 thats all F**K3D up for ppl like u!

DAX is an amazing programmer and he does it all under this kind of scrutiny and persecution. It's amazing you even have CFW you ungrateful swine.



DAX as soon as 3.80 is out you get another $40 from me.

# Guidezzabbas 2008-01-03 19:24
the fat psp with 1.5 should be able to upgrade directly to this firmware... for the slim you will need to get to 3.60 m33 by using the pandora method... you can follow this guide by Lounger

only dax knows... as was stated in the article... its almost finished.. he has a working custom firmware with 3.8 decrypted features; however he is just taking the extra time in making sure there are minimal bugs that may arise.



In a way its good and bad to know how close to release it is... its good because we know there is progress, yet, its bad cause it makes the anticipation for it that much more

# okAces In The Palm 2008-01-03 20:11
on the fat. make a pandoras battery and magic memstick before you do anything

i hope you have a spare fat batt

then you can update fat psp to 3.80m33 when it comes out as it will fix the idstorage keys for ta-082 before it updates

as for the slim

i know it needs pandora but ive never done a slim

i do know if you look just a little, you'll find a guide somewhere

Do you even realize the amount of work and time it takes to figure out the NID translations to set what will basically be a standard for homebrew on the next firmwares? Waiting a bit now sure beats waiting for every homebrew that works on 3.71 to be updated each and every version - regardless of what your patience is like.



Compare it to a football player if you must... but the analogy fails horribly since there is absoloutely no comparison at all.

Why the hell isn't anybody developing cfw for the PS3?

and I don't need the linx whores to flaming...

we need cfw on the PS3 cause you can't do

everything from linx and you achive more

through hacking the PS3 instead of being

content with linx.



Come on, work it out people, get the PS3

cracked, hacked and stacked with homebrew.



Didn't take this long to get the PSP cracked.



Besides, I think I remember hearing something

about Mathieulh dropping PSP coding to start

working on cracking the PS3.



I know I read that here somewhere, so whats up

Mathieulh... we gunna get any updates on any

progress with you PS3 tweekings?

# PS3Torch 2008-01-04 01:51
Its simply because there are no exploits. And even if we DO find an exploit, we cant run unsigned code, because the CPU will physically check the contents of the ram and verify its contents signature before executing. And the remaining area of the ram is marked as Non-Executable. Which means the instruction pointed can never jump to that location, so we cant load our unsigned code like we do when we find a PSP exploit.



If you want a basic idea about the IMMENSE level of protection and checking of code on the next gen consoles read this.

no matter what exploits are found, sony will prosecute anybody who tries to hack the ps3 firmware. theyre not making the same mistake with the ps3 that they did with the psp. that and mine only has an 80, and sata notebook drives arent as cheap as ide's and blu ray games are massive, so its not all that worth it to not pay for the games. i mean i agree 60 bucks is realllly expensive, but i use iso's with my psp and i pay for my ps3 games because they're all worth it.

- Copy the UPDATE directory into /PSP/GAME/UPDATE and copy the EBOOT.PBP of the 3.80 Sony updater there but with name "380.PBP". Note: the program will not even show if you copy it to a different folder than that.



- If you are in the fat psp, make sure you have configured the psp to run the game folder in the 3.XX kernel.



- Execute the program, it requires 78% of battery. If you have idstorage corrupted due to a downgrader, the program will ask you to correct it automatically so the update can continue.



- Press X, and the Sony updater will begin. Sit and enjoy while Sony code installs 3.80 M33 :)



- When finished, the updater will ask you to reboot (pressing X or O). DO IT. Do not skip this step shutting down the psp by yourself, or you'll end with a brick.



- You should be now in 3.80 M33



- If you read this far you just wasted your time BECAUSE THE FIRMWARE ISN'T EVEN RELEASED YET

When he believes its almost perfect (it obviously cant be perfect) he can release it. those ppl hav no rite to say things like bout dax. if they can make 3.80 m33 before dax releases it then they hav some rite but otherwise they dont.

# OFW 3.80 and below and CFW 3.80 M33solsticebeast 2008-01-06 06:18
I have a OFW 3.70 on my PSP with no CFW. From my understanding there was a PSAR Dumper put out about 4-5 days ago that would allow CFW to be installed on the 3.80 OFW and that the CFW 3.80 M33 would be able to be installed with that once it was out and that DAX already had it and was going to be inplementing it.



So to me that means that no matter what version of OFW you have that you should be able to install the CFW 3.80 M33 with the upgrade.

So to me that means that no matter what version of OFW you have that you should be able to install the CFW 3.80 M33 with the upgrade.



However since you already have OFW 3.80 I don't really know. If DAX does use the PSAR Dumper to install the CFW version he's putting out then I think you would be fine with the version you have for now.



It all depends on how he's going to be doing the installation of the CFW.

You must downgrade. The only way at the moment to downgrade 3.51 firmware and up is Pandora's Battery, google it.

I'm sure if your already runing a psp with a custom firmware, it will load just fine. If you still have original psp software, then no, you will still need another psp to make a downgrader battery. It's not the coders fault it won't load strieght on, it's sony's. Sony is the one who locked it down so hard. I'm just glad we have the battery trick, the first time I downgraded I had to use the GTA Liberty Cities trick, and it had much more of a chance of bricking the system than you do now. It may be a pain to need a cracked psp to make one, but at least it's a safe downgrader and de-bricker

but i'm not

why?....because you're lazy

this has been answered again and again

read the other posts

the one problem with this site is whenever a new custom firmware comes out, you will get one noob say "how do i install this on the slim"

he'll be answered.

is it enough.....NO

freaking same question again and again and again on the same freaking page.

before asking a question it might be an idea to read the posts and see if its been answered.

and theres more than a few tutorials on how to do it.

google does work

i'm beginning to think a noob may be someone too retarded to use a search engine or even read posts.

and that my friend is gayyyyyyyyyyy

# Bricked using 3.71 m33-2phiyuku 2008-01-07 15:09
I was using 3.71 m33-2 and my psp bricked when using snes9xtyl. All of a sudden a red screen appears saying my psp crashed and ***** happens. Now when i turn it on nothing appears and shuts off after about 30 secs. I can't get to the recovery menu. Is it a faulty install of 3.71 m33-2 or is it a bug on 3.71 m33-2. If it is a bug then i really hope it is fixed on 3.8 cause it happened twice already, that my psp bricked and i could not get into recovery menu. I am getting tired of going over to a friends house to make pandoras battery.

I hope they ad a Shutdown option in the VSH menu. They have a Reboot option now, in the new M33 a shut down would be great.



Thanx and can't wait 2 see it !

Red Squirrel's VSHMenu has a shutdown feature. Search it on forums.qj.net, it's pretty useful.

PSAR dumper is only a program to decrypt the firmware and has nothing to do with installing the firmware, it only will let you see all the files stored in the DATA.PSAR file, which is part of another file called EBOOT.PBP. This contains all that is used in the firmware, which allows us (more accurately DAX) create a custom firmware, which needs 1.50 or any older custom firmware to be installed. You will need to downgrade to 1.50 using Pandora's Battery (google for a tutorial) before you can actually install it.





On a different topic, I really would not like to be in DAX's position. No one else can make the firmwares as well as he can, so basically the entire homebrew world relies on him. He really can't quit now that he is so needed. I would say that Mathieulh and Fanjita (plus everyone who codes with him) and various other people who have worked with DAX or have great coding skills (sorry for not mentioning all who deserve it) will be able to learn from him and develop their own, just as good, and maybe give him a bit of a break.





Everyone, donate to these great developers. I, being a programmer myself, know how difficult and time consuming coding actually is.

actually, it verifies the eboots before making them. That is another good thing DAX has done to ensure the safety of your console. :)
