Team M33 rolls out Custom Firmware 3.52 Update #3 |
Ó
Team M33 called the shot, and they made it with a picture-perfect finish. Yes, PSP homebrew development fans, it's the promised third update of their own Custom Firmware 3.52, with all the awesome bells and whistles to make your PlayStation Portable all that more tricked out (can you say popsloader?). Let's cut the chit-chat and get right to what's changed in this update!
Changes:
- Added more speeds: 75 and 133.
- Added flash2 and flash3 usb to recovery
- Added a setting in recovery to change the usb device to which XMB will connect.
- Added "vshmenu", which is a menu that will appear when HOME is pressed in the XMB. It will interfere with existing
- XMB plugins that use HOME, so it can be disabled in recovery.
- - Added umd video iso support. The umd video isos are playes using vshmenu. Video isos go in
- /ISO/VIDEO folder. They require an UMD inserted because NO-UMD does not work.
- Support for 3.30 firmware. Instructions are same as in previous release, except 3.30
- firmware did not have libpspvmc.prx, so just ignore that file.
- Warning: There is an incompatibility between 3.30 savedata and later ones. If a savedata exists from 3.40+, the emulator will freeze.
- vshmenu cannot be loaded when the browser is active. If you exit the browser, the firmware will still keep it in memory until you enter other area of xmb, until you do so, you will not be able to access vshmenu again either.
- video isos and the game isos show in xmb use the same core. Due to this, when you enter in game menu and there is some iso, if a video iso was currently mounted, it will automatically be unmounted.
- cso format is not supported for video isos.
- UMD audio isos are theoretically supported, but not tested. They go to /ISO/VIDEO.
Thanks to all those who sent in their tip!

;-D
pspkings.net
theres problems with bricking don't update
yet
Beautiful release!!! thank u for all your contributions u've made and continue to make towards the community! great stuff;)
thanks!!!
I realy like this!!!
this is a big step und dumping wooohooooo
you could do it before with a boosters program but now it's included in the M33-3 update no need for a app now
I have 3.40 OE can i just copy the eboot and upgrade or go to the original 3.52 M33 CFW
LOL I set my cpu to 20 it took 5 minutes to laod the internet browser
If you download this from the website warned about in the license.txt and the readme, it will brick your Psp. Some users have reported a corrupted Psp after visiting the site in question too but that can be recovered by deleting your Browser Cache. If the eboot installer is hex edited in anyway, it will brick. I tested this on a chipped Psp and can confirm.
Does this mean we can make our movies into ISO's??
wtf this bricks psp's who told u lot that i havent updated but i dont think it bricks
What the heck is happening with all these freakin' PSP dev nut balls? I can't use this update if I ever looked at ps... well some other playstaion news site?
What the ?? I didn't leak anything or do anything against m33! why are we punished simply because we read forums from a particular site?
Thieves stealing from thieves and calling it thier own work... who gives a cr@p? Just release your work and let it speak for itself! Enough of all this... DA figured it all out in the first place, or maybe he didn't... who cares?
Changes in popsloader:
* Support for 3.30 firmware. Instructions are same as in previous release, except 3.30
* firmware did not have libpspvmc.prx, so just ignore that file.
* Warning: There is an incompatibility between 3.30 savedata and later ones. If a savedata exists from 3.40+, the emulator will freeze.
* Warning: There is an incompatibility between 3.30 savedata and later ones. If a savedata exists from 3.40+, the emulator will freeze.

m33, alejandro darx alex the wanker is a member too, he just pretend to be not involved anymore becuz he is scared of sony...
I suggest that anyone who posts firmware updates that INTENTIONALY BRICK PSP's should be banned from QJ and all the links to Paypal should be removed.
m33 sux/
i updated to this crap and it crashd my psp in the middle of a game.
I completely understand why they did this, but like you, I definitely don't agree with it.
I don't know what they should do about hosting it, I mean most people don't read the readme, and I can see why they wouldn't want to put the info in the article, because that would be free advertising for a slimy site.
But there's not much point in not hosting it, because people will just get it in one of 100 other places.
well thats too bad for u...maybe u should just make ur own custome firmware and see if it is PERFECT ..
ooo a wanker!!! I luv him even more now!
As facts are better than words, this program may refuse to work on your system if you:
- Downloaded it from ps3news.
- You are an active member of that forums's page.
- You visit frequently that page.
In last case, and only last case, the problem will be fixed if you delete browser cache of both,
psp and pc, and stop visiting that site.
Other cases of BAN are described in the LICENSE.TXT.
Not respecting the license will bring the PSP to BRICK, because the program will refuse to run.
A BIG ***** YOU TO M33
risk of bricking + features i will most likely never use + thx but i'll pass on this one.
if sony's cooking something for september, i will just wait to see what happens then...
currently i have 3.52 m33-2 and everything is great. gpsp kai and ff6 and remotejoy woohoo!
Good work. Installed, bricked - Apparently from visiting another PSP site??? - That's a great backhander I'm sure. So is that it? - PSP Brick thanks to web click? - This should be removed it's malware....
WHY ***** M33?
These *****ers from ps3lamerz stole DAX's OE SOURCE CODE
and:
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showpost.php?p+640045+postcount+276
Streak, despite i was attacked by that page, i contacted that page and we made some kind of "no agression" pact. They have been violating that pact lots of times, even now that I left the scene, they do it even more.
The have been putting recently my supossed name in his page, some times with initials, but the other day he posted it fully.
What do they think they achieve by putting my real name? I really don't mind that, they cannot even probe is me or just the paypal owner. But they do it like trying to act as a "mafia" so sony can see the names of authors. They did same when Noobz released 3.03 HEN+downgrader, they put the ip of fanjita. They don't only not have respect for homebrew authors, but they put them in danger.
As for me, neither spanish police nor Sony needs a retard administrator of a loosers page to put my name, they have their own means to find me, much more efective than visiting a paypal address, so i cannot care less about them showing that name. IF someone from my environment know who i am, i will receive congrats because i have done no evil. It would be different if the name and address of the administrator of that page were leaked. He would actually be in physical danger, because he has not stopped of annoying developers from several years. He plays with fire, too bad for him, fire burns.
As you can see, there is nothing it can be done against that guy violating homebrew coders rights, so i see fair that coders are fighting them in dirty way to protect themselves or other coders. It is useless to talk to them, they still continue doing same things they have been done for years. I regret to have talked to them that time, it was the worst loose of time i have ever done. And i regret too not to have done the same in OE.
My friend just tried updateing his psp and guess what....he is now a proud owner of a BRICK. he claimed to have never visited said site. THIS IS A WARNING. DO NOT UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION. IT WILL BRICK. Hopefully when the programers are finished punishing the wrong people they will make something worth flashing again. M33 better get smart on this one.
too bad it worked for me. guess u didnt read the instructions
I agree with their actions,the smarts ones will read b4 updating and plus that site deserves it anyways.
Isn't any psp app that flashes a potential bricker? Did you not read the readme? Did you not press cross to accept the terms and agreements? Did you not accept all risks involved? I'm willing to bet you did.
^^thats dax's words.
Just dont change ANYTHING (incl. pic0 etc.), and do not download it from ps3news. (there is some kind of protection in this eboot :) )
Just download from here or M33's site and it won't brick. My PSP is fine, I'm playing games on it right now. If you're really scared, READ THE PRECAUTIONS that it gives to you BEFORE you update and clear your internet browser cache, there is ample warning in the readme and before you update.
Just dont change ANYTHING in the eboot (updater file).
well said mate. hopefully better sense will prevail when they re-think why they are doing this in the first place... its unfortunate such good work is marred by some personal feelings.
no
I know what the "criminal site" could be (they leaked oe source code). if i became a member on that site and commented saying that what they did was wrong, does that mean i collaborated with that site? i am probably not going to update to this unless i know for a fact it wont purposely brick.
pspkings.net
mmmkay?
I read the LICENSE.TXT mate. They could have saved allot of typeing by having it just say FU** YOU. This is why I did not install it. This is also why I will not donate another dime to them.
I wonder if If they will setup a website so that they can give back donated funds to people who wished they never gave them money? Do not donate any more money to them as long as they play games with us. DO NOT DONATE
The site might deserve it, but I'm not the site am I? The M33 team isn't bricking the PSP's of the admins of the site only... they are bricking anyone who's got the site in thier cache.
so now it's ok if I release an mp3 player for PSP and brick anyone who is running M33 firmware? As long as I put it in the read me?
QJ should pull the files.
Do not donate any more money to them as long as they play games with us. DO NOT DONATE.
It's only a fake with the license txt. I downloaded it from ps3news and it works perfect.
people are bricking
I BRICKED
well there could be so many resons that they have bricked. But the most of them have no problems.
If you used a credit card, and not a deposit from a bank account, then just dispute the charge with you credit card company. No signature, and not tracking numer equals automatic refund.
They actually designed the update to brick your PSP under numerous conditions +\
I used to have respect for the M33 team....
so how many here hav either bricked or updated successfully??
so sa ifi ever went on ps2 news or watever this file will brick my psp, but the exact same file that my mate has, and he hasnt bin on "criminal websites" ( quote m33) wont brick his psp. i am really annoyed now and no longer trust m33. i thougt that they were so good bun innocet gamer like my self can not be certain my psp wont f*** up whe i use this. this is not fair on the psp community!
Here is the exact low down. ps3*****ers hex edited the installer to remove various anticredits. that version will brick. you WILL NOT BRICK if you have visited their site. YOU SHOULD NOT VISIT THEIR SITE AT THE REQUEST OF TEAM M-33. THIS WILL ONLY BRICK IF YOU HEX EDIT THE EBOOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
This update works fine. Make sure you update to 3.52 M33 First. This should be a cumulative update but just upgrade to M33 - 2 then this M33 - 3 as thats what I have done and it works.
The features are awesome; I love the fact they incorporated usbstorage feature to dump the iso to the computer in the xmb as well as flash0, flash1, flash2, and flash3 all configurable as the usb device in the xmb...
GREAT UPDATE... LOVE M33
do not download it it will brick your psp and tell all psp user not to go on ps3news they dont care
do not go on ps3news all you psp owner they dont care
Do not donate any more money to them as long as they play games with us. DO NOT DONATE.
dont go to ps3news to download to all psp owner.
Updated successfully twice. I was testing it on a chipped Psp. The only time a brick occured was when I installed the one from Ps3news.com onto my Psp. The version they have is a Hex edited eboot.pbp that removes the anti-credits and the warning about the brick in the Readme. Basically Ps3news.com is knowingly distributing a bricker. If they did not edit the eboot then it would be fine. Having said this, I no longer have any trust for M33 and will not be using this Custom firmware on anything apart from my chipped Psp.
dont donate to malware spreaders, they think there god with there *****gy lil PUBLIC custom firmware
ps3news took out the bad comment post it on their site and like i said they dont care
Why are you ffin nerds cryin like a small girl. Anything that writes to flash does carry the possibility of bricking your PSP. M33 told you the conditions under which you will become a proud ower of a brick. You know going into it what will make you brick, its not a secret, not a mystery. Try reading the damn readme every once and a while. I didnt brick and am currently playing with the umd ripper and ripping some of my UMD's i bought for cheap so i can trade em in for a game or somethin.
do not go to ps3news to all psp owner they put up m33 on their site and the comment did not work you do not now if m33 is the right one ps3 do not care if you brick your psp so be careful and state away from ps3news.
Actually it is. People dont have to chance using free software. So if you put in the readme that they will brick if they do A,B,or C whos fault is it for installing the software in the first place. This whole argument is like saying you should put the gun manufacterer in jail when someone accidentally kills themself with a gun. Playing games with us? If you have a problem with what someone gives you for free dont take it DUMBA55. These people dont have to make thier work and efforts available for the rest of us to benefit from. You dont like it, write your own CFW then. Its not being forced upon you in any way shape fashion or form. They put in the readme, if these conditions are met then this will be the result. I've yet to come across a somethun that writes to flash and doesnt warn you that writing to flash carries the inate possibility of bricking your psp
M33 is possibly thee biggest pussified dumbasses. Although I've never really liked M33 to begin with, this is just the icing on the cake. ...It bricks your PSP, because they don't like some people on a different forum? Who cares.
"Our software doesn't contain any malicious code, but code to refuse to start in those cases"
"As facts are better than words, this program may refuse to work on your system if you:
- Downloaded it from ps3news.
- You are an active member of that forums's page.
- You visit frequently that page."
...Are you *****ting me? Who the ***** cares. Dark Alex never did. The only time Dark Alex gave two *****s about anything was when people claimed to be him and modified his firmware to brick PSP's, M33 is doing it on purpose. M33 just thinks they're hot ***** because they have the only 3.52 CFW, when we don't even need it yet.
...Honestly, don't download this *****.
Learn to use proper punctuation. I don't see a single period in that poor attempt of a sentence.
You know if the terms of installing this firmware was to be past through court, team M33 would be paying alot of money for bricked PSP. What team M33 have done is sabotage! I used to be a fan of team M33 and praised them for their work, but now after reading their License.txt file, they are going out to brick your PSP... they have also vialated human rights and freedom of speach.
For all that has installed this firmware I would say remove it, why? Because if they can brick PSP over browser history, what is stopping them from bricking your PSP within 5 days of installing it?
Would you install spyware on your P.C?
This update isn't even on M33's official website (http://m-33.narod.ru/). And with many people speculating licensing / bricking issue's, I don't think I will be updating this time around. The features are good, but not worth the risk.
What do they have against ps3news???
I donwloaded the update via another website, it wasn't on dl.qj.net so I thought it was a bricker...
this is gay. i was just thinking about updating to m33 finally, but not anymore. Not only are you screwing with 'bad' people, but you are *****ing with innocent people who have no idea that ps3news did anything.
you tried to get your revenge and then *****ed up your rep.
Correction: I now see it is on their site. I still won't upgrade to this tho. And what looks as if this will continue, means I probably won't ever trust M33 again +/
go home
do not trust ps3news and m33 they will brick your psp they ban me for writing the bad download on their site
OMG...
Do you trust Dark_AleX?
if yes, go to the maxconsole and read his post about this m33 protection.

they ban me because i was writing about the bad download they have on the site
'But would you personally take the way of bricking people's PSP's?
Just because they use some site, without even knowing and without any scene-drama insights?
Some ways are just unethical, and such is this case Dark_Alex.'
+++++++++++++++ +++++
It is people giving them money. People don't understand they should not visit that site as they are causing harm to the developers whose application they use.
If sadly fear is the only way to go, then i see it right.
LOL, this update just bricked my psp
I read the read me file (for the people who claim that people should read the file, *****es!)
I also got banned from ps3 news for some unknown reason, I guess cuz I complained about the update bricking my psp
I dunno, Im really depressed, is there any way to fix this?
there are not problems with bricking, only with lamers downloading from ps3news ;) ps3news is a criminal website stealing and modifying code as tho they made it themselves. do not ever visit it.
how many more psp brick will be done today from ps3news
All that happens is the update checks the MD5 or whatever it is called of the eboot, so any editing of the eboot will change the MD5 and ***** everything up.
It has nothing to do with going to ps3whatever, its the fact that they edited the update.
basically, if you download this from QJ you won't have a bricker.
So wait.. did DAX say he would of done this same thing with bricking?
So suppose I went to ps3news just because of all the propaganda of released code to look at it. I was just curious as most people are. Do I deserve to have a bricked psp?
You have the *****ing nerve to punish innocent psp users out of their 200 dollar piece of equipment because of some ***** that happened to YOU!? No thank you.
How about this. If you really want to perpetrate your hatred for criminal acts how about you display a message that says something like "We do not condone with hackers. This installer will now exit." YOU HAVE TO *****ING BRICK THE PSP!? ARE YOU FREAKING INSANE.
I hope Sony finds every one of you goddamn BASTARDS and throw you in jail for stealing THEIR work.
I am downgrading back to 3.40 OE. You are a bunch of NAZI RETARDS is what you are.
I use 3.51 M33-7, I was considering updating to 3.52 M33-3 but after reading this I don't feel safe, they are being hypocrits and punishing innocent people, The terms are not clear, hat if this thig decides that I'm a bad guy and bricks my PSP? Congrats Team M33, you've just signed your own Death Warrent in the homebrew community.
i don't know why but i always had a bad feeling about this rusian coders/hackers of m33 , i was reluctant to upgrade my old trusty 3.40 OE because of that and now my thought come true , too bad for the bricks , i share your pain totally , m33 may have problems with that site , they will have to find the way to fix the problems with them but bricking inocents people's psp is not the way , they aren't trusty anymore and it's a shame because DAX don't want to be envolved and i don't see others coders in the horizont , too bad for the psp scene..
If you're a regular PS3news visitor, you've seen what they've done against the PSP community, and if you CONTINUE to go there after seeing how flat-out EVIL they are, you DESERVE to brick.
i don't know why but i always had a bad feeling about this rusian coders/hackers of m33 , i was reluctant to upgrade my old trusty 3.40 OE because of that and now my thought come true , too bad for the bricks , i share your pain totally , m33 may have problems with that site , they will have to find the way to fix the problems with them but bricking inocents people's psp is not the way , they aren't trusty anymore and it's a shame because DAX don't want to be envolved and i don't see others coders in the horizont , too bad for the psp scene..
i totaly agree wid u anonymous ( part from swearing lol!) basically m33 has just destroyed any acceptance and fans tha they may have gained. i was considering ofdonatin to them but im not sur now lol! i would just hopethat thy realise what they hve done. if i went to ps3 news for a demo or summat, i deserve my psp to be bricked? um NO! i just hope that m33 will reaise what tehave done. im pretty sure the wont so join the BRING BACK DAX CAMPAIGN!!!
Man how could this crap happen!!! Stupid brickers!!
How about you stop being a reactionary dumba$$ and ask yourself:
How would your PSP know what web sites you've been to on your PC?
Actually, Jin, you f*cking retard, Alex has been constantly speaking out against ps3news ever since they leaked the OE sources.
Paranoid delusions again. Listen to yourself talking before you state hypotheses as facts.
i've never trusted m33, i'm on 3.30 oe atm and still have no need to update, should the time come that i need to update i hope that another team, perhaps team wildcard will have a more polished custom firmware.
You ignorant *****. You only brick if you use ps3news' HEX EDITED EBOOT. This is to prevent people from *GOING* to ps3news.
i agree wid aonymous(apart from swearing!lol) . m33 have lost all trust and apprecation that they have earned. i wil never upgrade to 3.52 - brick. i feel so sorry for all thos ppl who suffered at the hands of these ppl and i am glad i have not upgrade.nobody upgrade to this. unless u can really afford it it is not wrth it. join the BRING BACK DAX CAMPAING!
chance of bricking with every click
someone could just make a link disguised as lets say google and it could be linking to ps3news and there is no way to tell from the psp browser and you click and brick. do we deserve this crap? no. did we do anything to deserve this? no. will this solve this issue between m33 and ps3news? no. will this rape the innocent people that support m33 and dont know anything about ps3news? yes.
i just updated from 340oea to 352m332 yesterday and i was liking it so far but i just went back to good old non-bricking 340oea and i will never update to anything that isnt made by DAX. i cant wait for the day that team wildcard makes a 352cfw better then m33's and m33 puts a block on wildcards's site. that will be the next step.
team m33, You are a shame for PSP development!
This thing is gonna backfire on these russians. I don't agree with what PS3News did with the source code, but I still visit their site every now and then, Now there is a chance that my PSP will brick because I visit their site, even though I dont agree with some of the things they do? Then they got all these licenses and agreements? since when? this is *****ing homebrew, They are acting like they own the scene. They are not hurting PS3News by doing this, they are hurting us, the users. They complain when somebody modifies their code, because it's "their" code, yet they are modifiying Sony's code to make their own Custom firmware, and don't tell me they aint using sony's code, afterall, isnt that what custom firmware is? The Scene was here before they came, the scene will still be here when they leave. If they leave they WILL NOT be missed.
im on 3.52 m33-2, should i download from here (qj.net) or psp-hacks.com and upgrade?
From what I can tell. PS3XXXXX has changed the eboot file, and they are distributing this file knowing full well that it will brick your PSP. They did it on purpose and are prolly pleased that it is bricking. They did not have to do any work at all, and they are getting rid of PSP's all over the place.
If they had no problems hacking DAX's PC to post his IP and real name in an effort to destroy the home brew scene, what have they done here?? They have destroyed everyones faith in team M33, and they have got people pissed at them. But they dont care, their intent all along has been to destroy homebrew and the developers.
Now the danger is that if someone posts the files from PS3news onto their site and host them, it will also be a bricker. So how do we distinguish between a legit one and a bricker one?
Also, in the purest form, the offical M33 version is not a bricker at all. Its ONLY if the bin file has been altered. So make sure you have an unaltered one, and throw it on.
Besides, DAX's last remark was he would have done the same thing if he had of thought of it. But since he didnt until he was under the guise of M33, they are getting all the publicity.
Either way. Now you know.
There's a huge difference between bricking unintentionally , and doing it as part of a propaganda against a website. It's also only free if you don't brick it, otherwise you have to buy another psp or something. They did work on it for (well, mostly, donations help) free, but so did a hacker who created a virus.
It's like saying that if kazaa contained and installed spyware, it's our fault for downloading the program and using it, they aren't charging for it, right? It's the same situation, albeit worse, since you just might have to pay around $150 bucks, only because you went to a website.
Guys! I am using 3.52-2, and that works like a charm. Might I suggest others to use that too. It's only this update (3.52-3) that has the bricking crap in it. So for those on 3.51, or even 3.40 OE, 3.52-2 should be your last upgrade unless M33 comes out with some sort of apology or fix for those that had their PSP's bricked
anyone who updates to this is a moron, 3.40OE still runs everything, there's no needs to update to this junk!
im modifying the code to get rid of these stupid restrictions. they have alot of protection on it though, some help would be great, thanks. email me at jyihtzer
FreePlay, aren't you the guy no one ever agrees with? I get you and that Metalspector guy confused, maybe both.
Also, I'm glad it's worth bricking PSPs. lol. Even by accident, BRICKED. Yeah good call.
Oh and let the word of Freeplay be preached!
What a tool.
i was a little scared too, but ive never been to said lamer site. i crossed my fingers and updated. and i have to say this update rules, tons of new features. including a home button activated vsh menu, and mounting video iso images. If you read the readme and are sure your not one of the banned users, then go nuts, m33 does it again.
dont DL from ps3news, dont have ps3news in your cache of your pc or psp before updating, and youll be fine.
3.52 m33-3 with irshell 3.6 for the win!
i myself have been victimised as people steal your hard made code and use it for their own gain. You FOOLS should understand what they are telling you PS3News is a no-no and M33 feel deeply annoyed and they made a anti-steal device but m33 you should have game them ways for them to get past this but should made the code encrypted to 256-aes format which only crack on a base of reason that would have helped. But bricking their prized possetions is a step tooooooo far.
M33 i got to hand it to you, you have your ways but thats barbaric i will have to think up my trust for you as my view has changed.
Dark Alex live on as we support you (homebrew scene)

do not upgrade stay with the one you got
was is everyone complaining. nobody else have been making cfws except for m33. did u expect them not to do something against these people modifying they're firmwares to make brickers? besides more then half of these people saying they got bricks due to this are probally full of *****
he has been in recent talk as sony may hold his psp hostage and he has been warned of his incredible actions against sony as they may file lawsuit against him which result in a hefty fine like jail time. Like Microsoft against Lindows A.K.A Linspire they filed lawsuits for copyright infridgement in all the bloody countries in the world so there may be conflict against him and sony that explains the sudden leave of the great Dark AleX

Bountyhunter
do not upgrade stay with the one you got m33-3 is no good
Sounds to me like the bricking is not only due to visiting ps3news. It sounds to me like their firmware is ******* and they don't want people to know, so they claim if YOU do something wrong or something they don't like or who knows what else, it will brick.
If they really STOLE your code, then do something about it: Go to the police. Don't take the law into your own hands and ruin other peoples' equipment. That makes you ********, not gods.
Can anyone tell me whuat i have to do if my PSP is Bricked because of this *****ty Update?! The Recovery Menü works fine, my psp just wont start up!!! arrrrrrrg plz help me
so if i use the update from QJ my psp will brick if i acces ps3news from the psp web browser? hm so basically if im randomly surfing the net with my psp and accidentaly enter ps3news my psp will brick? i dont want a firmware that can brick my psp by just entering a website.
Who cares about this lame as update if it has achance to brick. Who cares about the new video option who uses it anyways. F***ing umd movies are huge in size so who would want to put it in there psp anyways. Also I got the update from PS3news and it didnt even brick f***ing lying arse russians.
i install this update and if u have custom icons and such ur good it keeps them now i got 3.52 m33-3
i upgraded with no problems
my advice is to delete all the cache and history of u're psp broswer and pc.
THIS UPDATE IS REALLY GREAT!!
ya, i was scared to, but i've never been to this ps3lamers site and i never will cuz probably the future updates will have this kind of protetion
ps: sorry about my english
I'm realy desapoint with m33, I agree with all the comments above to no more donations to m33 and every thing. m33 f***. I'm downgranding my PSP from m33-2 to old 3.40 oe. I'm a homebrew developer, and I dont trust people that is brincking inocente just to a personal fight with a side. I'm one more at the BRING BACK DAX CAMPAING!
that if the recovery still works the n you have what tehy call a "semi-brick" so therefore, your PSP can still be saved just google recovery 1.5 and you should get what youre looking for.
Wow, 3.52 m33-3's been out for a few hrs and it's an all out war. some ppl brick others don't. It's a gamble. Don't ***** cause you got a bad hand.
Ok, If it is true about what you said then why are they not "setting things str8"? Why not say "download the file from us or you will brick." The wrong people are suffering and look at what it has done to the scene. They have an obligation to set things str8. I dont blame people for the hysteria caused by a careless release. M33 needs to set things right.
they shouldnt put the bricking things inside the firmware!!! innocent people will be in deep sh*t!!! change back to normal!! punish those f*ckin psp3nws website otherway!! this really shameful for team M33!!!
SPARTANS, ATACK!!!!!!!!!! !!!!lol
They dont have to apologise anyone as they warned ppl not to download it from that lame website. BTW i've downloaded it from qj and i have no problems with it, and i really like the "M33 vsh menu".
Wow.
I never gave M33 a chance due to all the problems/bugs/patches/fixes. This only further cements my resolve to never update to M33's CFW.
I only check this site for my PSP homebrew needs. Bricks or no bricks, releasing this with their threats/squabbles is child-like.
I appreciate all the hardwork/time spent on their project, but this is even lower than stealing some code. I'm not the only person who uses my PC as I'm sure most everyone out there is in same boat. I don't know what sites have been visited. This just lowers everyones trust in the homebrew scene. Not everyone knows the PSP intimately who owns/uses one.
Again I say, a sad day for the PSP community.
Ya I forgot, their README is not in very good english...
Good luck M33.
i prefer that they make application that let people know before flash the psp to this firmware that the psp is clean from psp3nws. then it will be ok ^_^
that would be a good idea
*****s BICKED MY PSP. DONT DOWNLOAD AT ALL
Yeah, you're the ones who are ignorant. The fact of the matter is, everyone is not a technical genius. There are a lot of people in this world that don't understand difficult stuff like that. What if some innocent person in all excitement downloads the hex edited version from ps3news because HE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT? What then huh?
Pull your head out of M33's ASS and realize that PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO RELEASE ***** SOFTWARE THAT INTENTIONALLY RENDERS AN EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT USELESS.
And all this when they stole the code from DAX to begin with. What idiots.
Like I said. If you're so angry about someone STEALING what you STOLE in the first place, then if the eboot was hex edited why couldn't they just put a countermeasure that flashed a message on the screen that said something like "we don't condone hackers..." and then shut the psp off?
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BRICK IT!?
This is utter bull***** and manipulation of the general public and I do not stand for it. Go ***** yourself Team M33.
it is working properly......
pls.......
dnt judge the.....the team m33...
they do it for us.........
so pls...........dnt post a bad comment
Here's an idea Team-BRICK. How about instead of BRICKING innocent user's psps why don't you give them a warning and exit the installer?
I am not risking a malware that can potentially render my psp useless. When I was new to the homebrew scene I searched around a LOT on how to do stuff and might have un-intentionally visited ps3news. So do I deserve to get a $200 paperweight?
I have cleared my browser cache but it's still not worth the risk in my book. Perhaps Team-BRICK should stop acting like pre-pubescent boys with raging hormones over code that they have stolen in the first place.
this a good idea!!
this is good idea, especially before they continue flashing their psp, there is a system check that state that their psp clean from ps3n3ws. if not, user can go back and delete all the catche or whatever stuff is.
It's funny how none who were affected by this realize how **bleep**ty it was of these guys to do this. They could have made a fake brick, they could have bricked everything but allowed the recovery console to come up, they could have done plenty of things but what they did end up doing was freaking adding a line to their damn license (which, for the information of the people saying that those who downloaded the PS3news version, was not included in the damn zip file.) and bricking the hell out of a console to the point where you're going to either have to throw away your PSP and pick up another one or drop $100 on a mod chip and installation.
Even if it was included, honestly, how many of you actually READ licenses every time you flash to a new firmware version? 99% of the time you don't have to worry about some conditionial crap included in the code that states that your PSP is going to be bricked for downloading it from a certain site.
I was unaware of the problems at PS3news.com, I was unaware of this feud, I REALLY would have felt for these guys if they would have included a small page of text before I patched my PSP with this instead of bricking my damn console, but right now I couldn't hate them more. I don't care if the freaking owner of PS3news was holding a gun to their head and stealing their code line for line, innocent users should not be brought into this fight, and the fact that they did that is more than crappy.
I've been following the PSP mod scene for months. The original MS switch hack that allowed me to play SNES9x on my PSP helped me through the three months that I was bedridden after a major surgery. I've experienced, applauded, and donated to various coding efforts in the past. Now, my PSP is bricked due to a stupid quarrel over getting recognition.
There were better ways to do this.
Reverse engineering is protected by US law so m33 couldn't have stolen the updates from another hacker. They have been with us for nearly a month now. I trust them and so should all of you. Upgrading does have a chance of bricking and you guys agreed to that so it's your fault that you have a bricked psp, not m33. It might be possible that sony is operating ps3news.com so that they could brick the psp and pretty much force owners to buy a new one. It's a good marketing strategy but it bad mouths the homebrew scene. I'm pretty sure sony wanted this to happen.
those who bricked are either they:
- downloaded it from ps3news aka ps3lamers or
- they visited the lame website n never clear their cache n cookies
this lame website has n will always steal creators' code n hexedit them to make it like their before post it up to. these lamers also take out credits n anti-credits from the readme.
to some of you yanky kids out there who dunno about this, ps3lamers stole n leaked WildC*rd's custom fw source code which was suppose to be private for our hombrew security reason.
so m33 did the necessary job to warn everyone not to visit the lamer's site n they meant serious. it's your fault to brick your baby. i'm using 3.52 M33-3 with no flaws.
Now stop talking sh*t instead help us to fight the lamers.
To all those that agree with m33, what if sony's next firmware update bricks psp's if you visit m33's site or qj, would you agree with that? M33 has no right to tell me or anyone for that matter what sites i can visit! If sony did this everyone of you would be up in arms but yet its ok for m33 to do this. If you belive they have the right why can't sony its their firmware these guys are messing with.
to anonymous -
That's not a bad idea.
But the message should be something more like
"The website you downloaded this from has altered the program in a way that the original coder did not intend. Please download the proper version of the program from http://m-33.narod.ru/"
Why is there a good and corrupt version then?
Don't listen to these *****ers. They put in a security measure to prevent people from editing whatever the hell they want into their updater.
The one on QJ is FINE that is why they haven't taken it down.
IT'S IN THE GODDAMN README TO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM THERE!!!!!
If you get the "Real" 3.52 M33-3 there would be no bricking. Its the PSPhuckers that edited it into a bricker.
The on on QJ is perfectly fine.
the FACTS:
1) If you download the one on dl.qj.net you will not have an intentional bricker
2) Going to or having been to PS3***** doesn't brick
3) After the update you can still go to PS3***** (read the forums people with modchips have tested it)
The ONLY way that you will get an intentional brick is if you use any edited eboot, specifically the one on PS3*****ers.
Can't you see? This is what they want! Confusion and bricks lead to mistrust ! PS3Ass is trying to kill M33 and thier respect!!!! They know fully that the file they are hosting is a 100% BRICKER. They are trying to kill the homebrew scene and Team M33!!!!!!
Don't fall for it! M33 are not the villians here! Both M33 and the scene are victim to a cruel plot!
it has nothing to do with browser cache!!!! It is the edited version found on their site that bricks, not the real M33 one!
Even if it were in there, ps3***** would have edited it out! Just like they took out the License.txt! M33 has been framed!
Can anyone tell me what firmware comes with the psp it has a letter T on the box plz help.
you dont gotta update to their firmware nor do u have to open ur big mouth as is unnesscery.M33 didnt steal no body's work,and u probably deserve to brick.
They're not saying that if you go to their site it will brick, they are saying if you use thier edited version it will brick.
On top of that they are suggesting not to go to the site, as it sucks ass.
Dont blame M33 blame that $·&%$/ PS3****** they have the foult, thist is what they want turn the people against the M33 and ruin they reputation, actually you should stop to read every readme of each file you download because ¡Your agree with the terms! anyway dont blame M33, i am thankful about they job and all of you should be too.
Sorry for my english.
i agree with u cuz i dwonload from exophase and i didin't touch it, unzipped, put in memory stick, run it and i didin't brick (but i was scared).
i must say that this update is really god.
U CAN DOWNLOAD FROM QJ AND EXOPHASE (i didin' tested the one on maxconsole)
JUST DONT TOUCH IT GOD DAM IT!!
Finally! Someone who takes the time to take a step back and think. Not just blindly follow the propoganda sheep over the cliff.

Dark_Alex:
Streak, despite i was attacked by that page, i contacted that page and we made some kind of "no agression" pact. They have been violating that pact lots of times, even now that I left the scene, they do it even more.
The have been putting recently my supossed name in his page, some times with initials, but the other day he posted it fully.
What do they think they achieve by putting my real name? I really don't mind that, they cannot even probe is me or just the paypal owner. But they do it like trying to act as a "mafia" so sony can see the names of authors. They did same when Noobz released 3.03 HEN+downgrader, they put the ip of fanjita. They don't only not have respect for homebrew authors, but they put them in danger.
As for me, neither spanish police nor Sony needs a retard administrator of a loosers page to put my name, they have their own means to find me, much more efective than visiting a paypal address, so i cannot care less about them showing that name. IF someone from my environment know who i am, i will receive congrats because i have done no evil. It would be different if the name and address of the administrator of that page were leaked. He would actually be in physical danger, because he has not stopped of annoying developers from several years. He plays with fire, too bad for him, fire burns.
As you can see, there is nothing it can be done against that guy violating homebrew coders rights, so i see fair that coders are fighting them in dirty way to protect themselves or other coders. It is useless to talk to them, they still continue doing same things they have been done for years. I regret to have talked to them that time, it was the worst loose of time i have ever done. And i regret too not to have done the same in OE.
People downloading from or visiting ps3news deserve their PSP's bricked.
I don´t see this as a bad measure, it surely will be the standard amongst all homebrew coders sooner or later ;)
@Hek
F*ck off, no room for crybabies.
Yea, Dont blame m33 for adding extra text files that make people wonder what is going on. Its not their fault. If your read the files you know exactly what is going on. Those text files instill a calming warm feeling in me. Those text files make me soo want to install the software and not ask any questions or find out what other people are experiencing.
@ snarg: Of course. There would be a professional message that indicated that there is something wrong with the original eboot and then shut off the psp. Something along those lines. I was just using an example.
@ anonymous: Ahem..didn't steal nothing? How about the fact that the core of the actual freaking firmware was written by hmm let's see....SONY!
did someone download the update from qj and get a brick?
If downloading from QJ or Exophase doesn't brick then WHY does it say in their OWN README that if I have ps3news cached in my browser I will brick? Answer me that please. Unless I am perfectly clear I am not upgrading.
Why didn't they just say "If the eboot you use is hex-edited you will brick" why did they say that if you even have browser cache with ps3news it will brick?
No matter how much of a victim m33 are they brought this upon themselves by including an intentional BRICKER with their product.They could just as easily have put in something else instead, for example if you used a hex-edited version of the eboot you semi brick but can still access recovery. Is that so hard?
So DAX actully agrees with M33 action against that site.
It won't brick if you download the update from this site or M33 site.
To tell you the truth it's actually a smart move on M33 part but then again it might backfire on them.
Will the downloaders blame the ps3news site or team M33 for the brick?
You're like.....50th dude.
I downloaded it from this site and it works just fine.
That's like saying "everyone who fills up with BP fuel should be engulfed in flames". Sure BP does some crappy stuff, but the average person who uses it doesn't deserve punishment just because they do. Don't be an ass.
As much as you guys want to put the blame solely on PS3news, the fact that M33 KNOWS that PS3news edited their files (something that I had no idea was happening) and put that freaking code in there puts them partly to blame.
They could have easily put something in there that would only semibrick or make the update void if it was edited instead of completely bricking PSP's.
Also 1st unregistered, you can shut up about being a sheep until your PSP is bricked by this stupid crap. I'm pissed that my handheld is a casualty of this crappy squabble and I'm equally pissed at M33 and PS3news.
We don't care about your issues with whatever site that burned you.
And you don't look cool now.
Punishing users who support you is NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Who do you think you are? I don't care that you've done for the scene. this move that I'm reading about in these posts is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, CHILDISH, CRIMINAL, and is something expectant of VANDALS.
I hope you realize that you've probably destroyed God knows how many dollars worth of enthusiastic users equipment. Bricking peoples PSPs? Im actually sickened by the mere prospect of it.
YOU'RE no better than the lowest most vindictive and petty garbage. by your actions you've effectivly flushed your reputations down the toilet.
I won't be updating to this, and I'm actually going to take your garbage OFF of MY PSP.
I pray that the unhappiness that you've inflicted revisits you sevenfold.
devhook is the safest thing to use now, we just need a updated version and its all good.
No one forced you to update, no one forced you to support them and finally no one cares for your crying.
They did what they thought was right, even at the expense of losing followers but I don't see anyone else releasing new CFW beside them.
If you don't like the ride then get off the train.
It doesnt contain anything, great for hiding small files...
This just isn't cool. Entering "non-malicious" code as the developers so nicely admit to have done, is hardly the way to do it. M33 Team stoop just as low as the PS3news website! To me this is poor judgement and an immature way of doing things. Like a bunch of babies, seriously.
There are better ways, some of which have already been opted for in the forums. Team M33, you did not think this one through.
is INNOCENT. It just PS3news intentionally put a bricked version on their website. I've downloaded from this site and installed the M33-3 update on 3 PSPs, it works like a charm.
people are sayin that u only brick because u download or visit ps3news or ps3lamers
1) i never even heard of ps3lamers until now
2) i never go to ps3news, ive seen it on google
3) i dont use my psp to go online
4) i only use 2 sites for my psp
- A) pspupdates.qj.net (main site)
- B) psp-hacks.com (i only use it for Sony official updates)
lmao to pissed members of ps3******. you deserved it lmao
I just upgraded to M33 3.53 update 3 and it is great. I do have an issue where I did not before.
I read some earlier posts about this being an issue, could someone please explain this to me so that I can continue to play my PSX games.
2 PSX games
Dukes of Hazzard Race for Home &
Hydro Thunder
Before the Update Dukes of Hazzard Race for Home did not work at all, it would not load. It now loads and plays GREAT, but it locks up at no certain point.
Before I did the update I could play Hydro Thunder without any issues except it had no sound, now there is sound which is AWESOME but it locks up intermittently as well.
Not sure if there is a setting or something I need to enable/disable now after the update.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you...
if you're stupid enough to get your eboot from ps3news, you deserved it. oh and your comparison is lame btw
only idiots who downloaded from ps3news bricked their psp
I just upgraded from OE 3.10 to this. Is there a guide anywhere on using the recovery menu, and customizing icons with 3.52 m33?
I downloaded the update from QJ and flashed two PSP's with this update today. One is a TA-079 and the other is a TA-082. Neither bricked. Flashing another this weekend. Stay away from the lame ps3 site.
You don't brick from visiting a site... just prove to show you that you are a idiot.
In conclusion idiots should not update, they will only brick their psp.
I just decided to take a chance and updated.
Yay, didn't brick.
I don't see anything wrong with m33's action. They do the OE for free and people on that site steals their work and now they punish them. They can hate whoever they want. They don't like 'innocent' people going to that site and those 'innocent' people shouldn't download it from that site. Moreover, they've warned people and it's your fault if your psp brick. It's like any other disclaimer. For example, " Your Wii would brick if you have any technical modification on the hardware". If your Wii is brick, you wouldn't go to Nintendo and ask them to replace your Wii would you?
retard
haha
go change your tampon, lil beottch!
This update is nice!
It bricks if you modify the MD5 checksum, so any deletion or hex modification will corrupt it
I updated it twice, didn't brick, and that's ok cauz i HATE ps3news since the ps2 period
serious question:
if the hex-edited eboot from said site is leading to a brick,
where are the brick-reports from users that used that file?
so far, all I've heard is FUD. Are there actual reports about bricks from ps3****.com or is it just what some1 heard from someohter1?
and supposing everything in m33-readme is true: how on earth could an eboot on my psp have knowledge about my pc-browser-cache? or is there something i dont get?
but i am sticking with 340 le because it is more reminisent of
Dark_AleX's work
i download it from QJ ! fine!
LOL, DAX stole from Sony, M33 stole from DAX and M33 think no body should steal from them?! I allways had the impression that the CFW devs released it as open source, in the readme of M33 3.52-3 it says you can change anything when installed. If i made a CFW you would all be welcome to steal mine lol. M33 shudn't have a cry over somthing they themselfs stole, its not like they sold it.
Also can anyone answer these questions.
A. How could the PSP know what sites you have been on, on your PC?
B. Why doesnt someone remove the part that bricks your PSP and checks your PSP's cookies/cache for the website in question.
C. Why the hell does everybody on this site have ago at people just because they have a different veiw. They need to grow up and listen to somebody elses comment for once, we cant always be right.
The Browser Cache bit is too scare people away from PS3News. It's an ingenioud plan really. Only intelectual rational people would see through it (Checking PC Cache? Please.)
But these rational people wouldn't be at ps3news anyway.
I have updated to M33-3 with the file on QJ. As long as it still has the Blah Blah Blah PS3News Sucks page you're good.
God this disgusts me. PS3Asswipes are sending people all over PSP Forums to post false claims of brickage.
It can't. That's the point. It's there to hopefully scare people away from PS3*****.
@ Kyle although you are probably a PS3Douche, I will respond anyway. I already SUCCESSFULLY upgraded to 3.52 M33-3, just as anyone else who downloaded it on QJ.
I'm so happy theres another dev team (team wildcard) working on CFW because since day 1 that is lame team has put out their work than blasted other devs I could see how lame they were. Now they have stooped to bricking peoples handhelds, like how *****ing lame can you get. I dont condone ps3news and what they have done at all but bricking innocent people for visiting a site is just lame. I will never install/support anything from m33 and think they are the biggest lamers ive ever seen. How pathetic are they....
I haven't read through all the comments so I don't know if anybody has addressed this but according to the readme its not an actual brick. It sounds like what they are saying is if you delete the browser cache from the memory stick then it wont be "bricked" anymore. I haven't tested that myself but if you updated and it isn't working try deleteing the browser cache. I updated with no problems.
A: It can't. It's only a lame scare to get people to stop visiting that site. The only way you would brick is if you use a hex-edited version of the update. Like the one hosted on ps3lamers and ps3news.
B. That's the whole protection. Removing the "brickage" part is tampering with the eboot. And it's tampering with the eboot that leads to a brick.
C. They are pre-pubescent teens with raging hormoes and a severe lack of place to stick their morning wood because no one wants a pimple ridden four-eyed geek.
i just bought a new psp and updated to version 3.52. how do i add the m33 after 3.52 in System Info??
If you're being funny then bravo, you made me crack the ***** up. I laughed really hard.
If you're being serious then I'm sorry dude. You don't ADD the m33 after 3.52 You downgrade your psp to firmware 1.5 using the downgraders available on the net and then upgrade to a custom firmware released by a hacker. There are numerous guides about both things on QJnet Sony PSP forums.
However.....since you have already upgrade to 3.52 firmware You cannot downgrade to 1.5, since there isn't a downgrader available for that firmware yet and will most likely not be available for a long time. Which means you've basically screwed yourself over. Sorry friend.
Update worked great for me, if you're not stupid nothing bad will happen. I actually respect them trying to outcast ps3news, much love M33 ^_^ keep goin
THIS UPDATE CANNOT AND DOES NOT READ YOUR PSP/PC BROWSER CACHE. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT AT SCARING GULLIBLE MORONS AWAY FROM PS3NEWS.
If you download any non-edited update, like the one on QJ, you will be 99.5% gauranteed not to brick! Use any edited one and you have 103% chance of bricking.
SO UPGRADE DAMMIT.
to all BRICKERS, HATERS, SCAREDIES, etc.:
first thing: why you blame m33, ps3news distribute bricks
second thing: pls go home and fu, ok? thx.
got it now?
NO?
buy another PSP, and try it again... 1diots
Hows it going to backfire!!!
you act like its a franchise.
they are hobbyists who share their work.
they owe no one anything
they stole no code, they reverse engineered the code, as did wildcard.
if you dont like the fact you cant go to ps3news, then dont install it.
^^^ exactly!
Yes, upgrade.
UMD video function works great!
US movie plays perfectly on my euro psp ;-D
STOP CRYING U EMO
everytime i dl anytihng it simply reloads the page and never downloads anything anyone know why?
>Like Microsoft against Lindows A.K.A Linspire they filed lawsuits for copyright infridgement in all the bloody countries in the world
Actually they filed the lawsuit for the name (trademark) which they claimed was too close to "windows". The case was in no way about copyright!
(although it might have had some hidden "let's delay the release" agenda)
Alright the reason why your PSP brick is because you are not using the file at is from M33 offical website , your psp will only brick because the updater file you have is hexed or edited by website like ps3news or other website that have the updater file hexed.
My conclusion is , if you love this update features then download from m33 offical Website
my psp is on warranty im gonna go for it. if it works, then we know delteing all csche history etc from psp and pc, plus downloading for 1j, does work.
Guys this is ridiculous, there are various people at fault here.
First of all: M33: For scaring peopleby saying things like this will brick if you visited a certain criminal site. I know a friend who has no idea on this controversial issue and uses ps3 news only for psp downloads. Unfortunately he ended up with a brick. I am not from ps3 news i am a straigh QJ reader, im not being gay and spreading ***** about things getting bricked and scaring people.
Ps3news: For tampering with te software and distributing it on such a large scale. If it were a PC virus it could be fixed, but an attack on a closed console will render expensive equipment useles. As well as this they are "reportedly" sending people out to major forums like the ones on QJ and other Psp hack sites false brick stories. I don;t know if this is true but this may phsychologicall y alter someone into thinking this if they are rerading something half way through and shut off the psp in fear. I know it sounds stupid but the actaul psp hacking community is a minority and the majority have no freaking idea.
Think this over and stop blaming only 1 party as both parties are at fault here. Even though ps3news did alot more damage to the non experienced users.
i have successfully used this upgrade and will explain the stepps i took.
1. I am on m33 3.52-2.
2. I went to control panel on my PC and deleted all history and cache an the rest.
3. I didthe saae process on my psp from Tools.
4. I download the update from QJ ( BET PLACE- WE CAN TRUST IT!)
5. I backed up the files on my memory stick and then formatted the memory stick.
6. I placed m33's psp folder to the root of my mem and then inside that psp folder made a GAME foldr so that the update would show up.
7. Bynow you shoul have PSP-GAME150 (with update in) and GAME (folder also inside psp.)
8. I then copied the seplugins to the root of memory stick.
9. i fully charged my psp and left it on charged whilst i selected the upate from the game menu of the psp xmb, and pressed the cross button.
10. I s*at myself (joke)(honest!)
11. the screen will come up sayin g on the ps3 new brick crap. i Was nervous but pressed x.
12. it was done in 2 seconds literally. as soon as i pressed x it said update successful
13.Go mad and celebrate.
14 if this was unhelpful to you i am sorry but it worked perfect for me!
omg i download work like charm,no problem,no brick.. u can play burnout legend n street fighter alpha 3 n luxor with no umd now..finally m33 made it to work..we have 3 choice of no umd..dnt use the 1st 1 use the 2nd i think it like better of 2.71se-C *****in love this firmware.. no noob say brick n crap n problem dam u guys fully noob dont know anything...i have custom icon n everything work.. that all.. please do not listen to noob who cant get thing working thank
trust. i did just what u sed and it worked perfect. your explanation was funny and helpful. thanks you very much!
I HATE M33 you guys pay for my psp
M33 are only attempting to stop leeches. If you know the term "leech" then you understand why M33 has decided this action.
Not long ago a hacker broker into and stole the source code. PS3News is a website that edits the "read me" file so that it shows no credit at all. This is very disrespectful in the homebrew community.
Let is use our imagination folks.
You created a Firmware and released. Would you not wish to have your work stolen and cloned only to be claimed as new work. They edit out the credits from the read me and continue it without your permission. Would you fail violated and used?
M33 clearly stated in the READ ME that if you used it, it would brick. All updates and upgrades to downgrades have a chance of bricking you agreed to when you decided to use the file. No one holds account for your actions. Please, grow up and except the facts, PS3NEWS users will be angry with this and think it is unfair, I think it was unfair the the Administrators of the site allowed the source code to be ripped.
M33: Great update, I had no problems updating at all.
On a side note, I can't believe I written this.

This is a NEW and IMPROVED online way of making EASY/FREE MONEY this one has alot more features with alot more ways of making money online.. you gotta try it and see.
SWATcash - Where the checks they fire are never blank!
Great, fun site with a friendly community and nice helpful admins over there. This is a GPT site that pays via paypal or check with a minimum of $15 in earnings to request payout. 20% referral commision. Extra goodies like missions and an armory and weapon shop and alliances.
Missions: When completed all missions you get extra goodies!
Armory: Buy armor and weapons to increase your atk and defense skills so people can't steal your SWATcash (not real money- that's safe with you) and you can steal others once a day for extra swatcash.
Alliances: Out of 3 alliances, you may pick one. The highest amount in avg. earnings for each alliance, as well as infiltration points (you can attack other alliances), and referrals you get extra goodies.
You can get 2 free referrals with 25 swatcash by buying the Walkie Talkies in the armory.
That got me an extra $50 in my earnings. Also the weekly contests will get you atleast $1000 plus more if you are a lucky one

from today there will be a new synonym in the scene:
BRICKBLAMER
those who shifting their own fault. lol^^
the homebrew/psp community knows who they are and what they do. Any respectable person within the community can take one look and knows that it's m33's firmware. It's nothing more but a method of revenge and getting back at ps2news.
Every cfw have a warning and yes it's a risk with every cfw. BUT m33 deliberately and knowingly ADD their so called security measure to intentionally brick the psp if a person were to dl it off a certain site. They could have taken so many different methods and would achieve the same goal but no they went for it and got their name pound to the ground.
All they end up with is ps3news laughing at them for taking the wrap for all the bricks and a bad rep within the community that they just started
Jeez, if there's any truth to this so called "protection" against ps3news site, then I have to say it's the most childish ***** I've heard in a long time.
I mean are we interested in cool custom FW, or do we give a crap about stupid site and group politic's. Leave that nonsense out of your firmware. Why is it any of your concern what sites I visit? If I like to hang out on ps3new's forum, why should that EXCLUDE me from using this software? It's totally bizarre.
I don't like having my surfing habbits dictated to me by firmware coders, and I WILL NOT conform.
I had never heard of ps3news until this nonsense, but now instead I will NOT update to this lameware and instead go and register at ps3new's forum! How about that!? So your attempt to keep people away from there is actually having the OPPOSITE effect.
As for a donation - now you can forget it... Instead I'll rather send my money to ps3news. I hope they accept paypal!
Had they tried a different approach like saying "if you appreciate this firmware, show your solidarity by boycotting the site ps3news - we have our reasons" Now that would have been the way to go...
Instead they try to strongarm me to conform to the same? I don't bloody think so...
ps3news, here I come!

My PSP is currently on using his 3.52M33-3 psp. Can someone please tell me specifically how I can re-enable the Location Free Player on it, and exactly how to do it? Any form of help will be GREATLY appreciated!
M33 is at fault for this whole thing, not PS3news. Ps3news doesn't hex edit anything. We don't know why M33 are mad at us but, we've always respected their work and left it intact. The file was already tainted when M33 sent it to us. If M33 has a grudge against us, they don't need to take it out on innocent people. We will have a safe copy up for download soon so check back later.

can you believe theyre already making a 3.52 m33-4. well this is m33, they made 7 updates for 3.51 in, like 4 days! link for m33-4 info

not really a link
hi jhonny i am glad you find my walkthrough helpful. its just there if u want to feel 100% safe. i would recommend it to those who are not 100% sure. just do as it said and yu will be fine! good Luck!
they arent bad but i still miss DAX and their firmwares are not as good as dax's
For a bit of background info for my psp:
Used to run 3.40OE, which worked just wonderfully I might add.
I downloaded the M33 3.52, updates 2 and 3 from their site, 1.50 eboot from here I think, and the 3.52 from the official sony website.
I just applied the third update, and it was in a semi brick state for a moment and I thought oh *****... But I restarted it twice, the second time going to the recovery menu and volla it workes just like it did in 3.40OE but better now.
And yeah, I took a risk too I have only a TA-082 psp, and no UP to back me up.
Good luck everyone else.
Its easy. Just DONT install the ps3news *****. Download from here and you shall be safe.
IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO CURSE M33, YOU CAN SUCK MY BIG *****.
Team M33 FOREVER :)
"I am on m33 3.52-2."
No, you're on crack and need professional help.
Great update - little idea for you for the next one. Instead of using the memory card as the memory, write a program to use the USB as the memory. I think I make sense.
Team M33 has just lost all credibility.
INTENTIONALLY bricking people's PSP's just for visiting a site they don't like is absolutely wrong and should not be condoned by the community.
And once again, thank you QJ for intentionally messing up their Paypal link. They don't deserve to make money off of this bricker.
lol
i got a question: does the cfw that either m33 or DA have lets you go back to your factory fw 1.5 like how devhook does? cuz i wanna play the new games, yet i still want to use my homebrew can someone help me out? thanks
as far as i can tell if you download or left cache/cookie you got brick..
what if, you only access ps3news from the pc? does it matter?
and for all those who hate m33.. this is pretty much freeware and if you dont like it you dont need install it to PSP.
want free games and movies for your PSP, then go to freepspdownload s.co.nr they have an excellent source of downloadable PSP games and movies, also they have apps for your PSP and a converter so you can convert games to what ever file types you want. if your still sceptical on weither or not that this site has what you want then come visit aand see for yourself and dont forget to sign the guestbook and post in the forums. Happy Downloading.
2 months ago, 3.51 m33 came out of nowhere. I got suspicious and never updated. I told a bunch of my friends not to update, because they are trying to get your trust, then brick your psp later. I didn't know it would actually come true. O_o
