Team M33 rolls out Custom Firmware 3.52 Update #3 |
Listed in: Firmware, Homebrew Applications Tags: Custom Firmware, ISO, psp firmware, XMB
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!

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?

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.

- 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

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.

"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:

...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 *****.

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?

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.

I read the read me file (for the people who claim that people should read the file, *****es!)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

That's not a bad idea.

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!

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?
Reply
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?

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
