Team Wildcard releases 3.40 LE PSP Custom Firmware |
Ó
Well isn't this another big surprise? Earlier today we reported on the 3.40 OE reverse engineering development spearheaded by Team Wildcard. The goal of the project was to reverse engineer 3.10 and 3.40 OE, building a base for Team Wildcards future expansion of Dark Alex's Open Edition custom firmware which ended up getting leaked prematurely.Due to this leak, Team Wildcard decided to made an official release of their source code. Which is now being followed up by a official build of their new PSP custom firmware, titled 3.40 LE (LE standing for Leaked Edition).
This release, which is an expansion originally based upon the reverse engineering of the 3.40 OE PSP custom firmware, brings all new features to the stalemate which Open Edition firmware was facing after Dark Alex decided to drop his PSP projects and development.
In addition to all the features previously offered by the 3.40 OE-A custom firmware, Team Wildcard brings us some great new features, such as:- Everything you know and love from 3.40 OE-A
- A sexy new SCEP-style recovery menu
- In-XMB configuration menu
- Auto-detection of the kernel needed for homebrew - no need for GAME150 and GAME340; just put it all in GAME
3.40 LE - Installation Guide
The installation overview should look very similar to the original OE firmware installation guide, thus installation should be a breeze for anyone who is currently on custom firmware. (Video thanks to xMATTx)
- Look inside the ZIP file for the folder that corresponds to your current firmware - either Custom Firmware or Firmware 1.50. To install 3.40*, you have to be on one of these. If you're not already on one of them, what are you waiting for? Downgrade!
- Copy the *CONTENTS* of the MS_ROOT folder onto the *ROOT* of your memory stick. This means the place where the 'PSP' folder is. It'll probably tell you that it has to overwrite the PSP folder. This is OK; just click Yes.
- Download the 1.50 and 3.40 firmware EBOOTs. ( included below )
- Rename the 1.50 EBOOT to 150.PBP.
- Rename the 3.40 EBOOT to 340.PBP
- Put both of them *in* the folder "X:PSPGAMEWildcard All-in-one Flasher", alongside the EBOOT.PBP file. (X: is your PSP's Windows drive letter.)
- Go into the PSP's Game menu, under Memory Stick, and run "3.40* All-In-One Updater". The installer will build the 3.40* DATA.DXAR file, then launch the flasher to install it. Follow the instructions on the screen TO THE LETTER and you'll be safe.
Warning: You take complete responsibility for flashing your PSP's firmware. Be warned that an incorrect flash can damage your PSP or even render it useless (bricked). Make sure you read all information available (README) and follow directions to make sure you understand the risks and new features completely before flashing. Yada yada ;) So download the 3.40 LE PSP custom firmware and feel free to discuss or ask questions about Team Wildcard's latest release in their thread, located in our PSP Development forums.

firsT!
I'll give a try.
Looks pretty cool.
crazy
has anybody try this?
well ill try it out and we;ll see how it works,if i brick ill damn qj for beign some dumb asses pieces of crap
I think you should still work on it even though this one was leaked. just don't post updates or anything so it can't get hacked and spread everywhere.
"Auto-detection of the kernel needed for homebrew - no need for GAME150 and GAME340; just put it all in GAME"
Yes! That feature is awesome, that solves a ton of problems.
If you do brick then maybe you should read the instructions better. A number of people have tested this in the forum and so far only one person has reported (successfully?) bricking their PSP in the forums. Note the warning, read it and understand that you take responsibility for your own actions.
in xmb config its awesome too
myne says error : invalid SHA-1, Rebuilding DXAr
Why Would I Downgrade for a NEW XMB EDIT MENU
i can relink my own files to what ever i want even a
small GAME in flash memory...
3.52 (I'll WAIT for the real guys bring it up)
did anyone look at the picture and see that it says CF 3.51 yet they are giving 3.40?
Yes I was just going to write about that too 3.51 picture weird isnt it? I expect great things for the CFW in the future and i hope that there will not be a seperation between M33 and Wildcard CFW users.
Let the good times Roll
Hopefully it comes out, I'm not going to upgrade till than because I've already on 3.40 OE-A and it'd just be to much of a pain to downgrade, than reinstall into this one, plus I don't know if my theme will work. If it doesn't, I'd go back to DAX's, so basically, I'm not going to upgrade till 3.51/2 is out.
VERY nice job though!
are PSP saviors....their CFW works flawlessly and even better than DA's.. Maybe you should try it before talking down on it.
whats the name of this song lol and cool firmware installed and running
it doesnt work with 1.50 i did everything on the read-me and im not a noob but all this does is create a data.dxar file and thats it whats up? This also hapened with my 3.03 oe-c. Is there something im doing wrong?
you are right M33 are @ss holes
MY PSP BRICKED THIS SUCK
I LEFT CD IN THE PSP AND DIDNT WATCH THE VIDEO I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A VIDEO THIS SUCK plZ hELP iF cAN
I agree, they are a bunch of *****s. That's why I'm never going to use their custom firmware. Good thing this came out though
NO!! I bricked!!!
This sucks!!!I thought it would work
it saz custom firmware 3.51 in recovery menu...
They made a note of pointing this out in the forums. The reason the menu shows a different firmware revision is due to the fact they were working on a newer version when the source code to this was leaked.
yeah me too
not. read instructions first
it does'nt ask you to accept all responsibilty and press X b4 it starts flashing in the biggining...ehh guess datt means we can blame em if it *****ks up our psp
what?
kasabian-club foot
Nice to see strong development teams coming out with alternate CFW's. This will mean competition (possibly) and eventually more features for us.
Thanks Team Wildcard
can someone make a video on how to install this cfw
it looks hot wif its features,hopful ly u guys continue.GOOD IDEAS and dam that mystery site that leaked
Somebody needs to enter the seen and replace M33, I'm glad it will be you! Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to a 3.52 OE release. Thanks again.
dax's cfws will probably always be the most bug-free cfws. though even after 3.03 OE-C i started to notice more bugs. these guys seem better than m33. i havent tested the firmware yet but if people say its good than wurd ill probably go to it. m33 really didnt do much. they really just modded alot of daxs stuff. good coders nonetheless and im on 3.52 m33-2 now but much can be done to make cfw's better. i think team wildcard will be the ones to do it. and also their is an in-xmb plugin already. it has a file manager and can rename/copy/cut and alot of other shart.
This was reverse engineered from DAX OE so it is the real thing. This is as good as it gets to having a DAX CFW after DAX has left the scene. Team M33 are just plagiaristic noobs in denial. Team Wildcard 4evr!
Place the DXAR that was created in the "340leflash" folder, then try the install again.
Someone need to help you learn proper grammar + spelling. XD! PWNED
This looks fricking awesome! If you make 3.52 and beyond I'll definitely upgrade when UMD's need it!
This looks way better than M33.
GOOD JOB!
Yea! Cmon Wildcard! Please make more!
it asks you to press X to accept once, then triangle to accept again, then it gives you 10 secs to still chicken out
What they added some gay add-ons?! then they are scared to release the next version. Wtf are they scared of?! Their momma's?! the boogy man?! their f***ing p***ies?! Give me a break.
why in th right lower psp screen it said CF 3.51 Wildc*rd insted of 3.40*
Why 3.40... why even bother if theres 3.52 M33 this is a waste of time.
pick it up it will help should "web videos" ever dissapper
Please don't punish the rest of us for some idiots actions. You know that if the Elite of the homebrew community knew these *****ers address we would go over there with baseball bats and beat the tar out of (their driveway) them.
Just from the video I would be WAY more then willing to upgrade to this new firmware. You guys actually have good ideas. Please don't quit now.
LOL!!!!!!
what does the file manager in the recovery menu do?
nothing happens when i select it.
Although I'm still in 3.40 OE, this work is really really good! Congratulations Team Wilc*rd! Don't give up and continue!
The creation of a new CFW is good to all of us. Now we have 2 choices, and probably there will be more in the future.
Cheers from Japan.
I did as the readmy file say, and when i tried to run "3.40* All-In-One Updater" I got "The game could not be started (80020148)".
Does anyone know why do i get this ?
i hope you guys keep going. Never a bad thing to have some competition. I'm awaiting for my battery 2 b charged so i can install this but please don't stop you work on this project
other than the fact that you said f*ck, all your other insults seemed really childish (and saying f*ck is also getting to a point where even 5 year olds say it so...) Also they just reversed Engineered OE edition of CFWs. Currently the CFW by DAX has the least amount of bugs/issues and this new team is trying to build their CFW with Dax's cfw as the base. Your really dumb aren't you?
3.52 doesn't have any games out yet that really need it so 3.40 is still an OK firmware for games. Also 3.52 M33 is said to have more problems than 3.40 OE, so __(fill in the blank)__. So currently we have a choice between higher fw version or more stable fw.... Actually I really dunno if this version is more stable but if they did a good job w/ reverse engineer OE then it should be fine.
Try putting the updater in the GAME150 folder. Or just follow the install instructions to the letter.
why upgrade to a "leaked edition"? wait for the official.
never wanted to go to m33, i think this is way better. if 3.52 or seomthing newer comes up ill be installing it for SURE!
This is way better than this M33 peice of *****. Great Job Wilcards
I like the last point. But im not getting it unless it gets better than M33.
I think that m33 is wayyyyy stable and functional and I don't see a reason to "downgrade" to this 3.40 LE, everything works perfect in m33, I have 0 problems!!!
Oh, yeah. Simply as it is.
I do like to root for the underdog, usually, but assss much as I want this to go a long, long way, I agree with with the minority posters who still want the stability m33 provides. Russians aren't bad. Learn to love 3.52 kernel.
Pretty Good, Any Chance They Can Make Another Popsloader Like DAX Said He Would..?
my 3.52 m33 has no problems. previously on 3.4oeA my FFVII always jammed while playing mut now its working fine...
how to open the recovery mode while im on psp menu? without a reboot?
do what Jesus Man said.
after having the dxar file you will put it in flash folder then that is will trigger the update to the Custom Firmware!
and jadaking YOU ARE A NOOB, as i once was now im neither! geesh everyone with DAX OE firmware knows how to do this.
lol... jump on the bandwagon
select + right trigger
M-33 has been been a fairly good firmware. It has sufficed for me, and has offered me some cool features. However it isn't the most stable version, and still didnt add a fix for many of my themes that I really happen to like, but won't run on it.
When however they worked more nicely on the OE's. and I didn't really encounter any bugs on the OE. I mean I give M-33 major props for admitting to their faults right away and designing fixes to many of their problems right away, they seem to have quite a few to go.
One last point to be made here, being up to the newest version isn't that critical, especially when there isn't a game out that requires that version, so the newest version isnt currently that nessicary. Its a concept of which features you like better, and with the exception of Remote Play and just the sake of saying your at the newest version, it looks like LE is dominating the playing field with some overwhelmingly bit©hin cool features
=)
this is so great. please make 3.52. 3.52. U guys r tha best
http://nextgen.giveaway.co.uk/index.php?referral=213649
just wondering if divx or xvid support could be added so that we can watch divx or xvid videos without having to convert it. perhaps install the codecs or even be able to stream directly from the PC video as you could do so using a laptop etc.
Thanx
When 3.52 came out everyone was kissing there nuts! Now something else comes out people are slamming them...
Boy I trust my peers!
As long as there is a steady out-go of Homebrew options to choose from.
you people suck. Is it because they are russian you say 3.40 is better? Most of you cant even install it. It was the easiest cfw to install here and the most stable. So far the best! The sony loader is fast as hell and rox. hmm...
i installed and flashed the new custom firmware but i can't load up the XMB and the recovery keeps on freezing, somebody help me please
I agree. M33 is 100% stable with everything that I have run on it. PS1 games, homebrew, ISOs, homebrew programs, music, pictures, UMD games, videos, internet, etc all works just as good as DAX firmwares ....so I don't see why people say its bad. People seem to say its "buggy" or doesn't work right...but I have yet to see any reasons to what is wrong....and I have yet to find any. I'm sticking with m33 though, because it IS the best firmware out now easily....people just don't like them because they replaced DAX (actually better than DAX) and thought their firmware was buggy because of all of the updates they released...when really the updates were just to make NO-UMD support better....not a bug at all ;) If you are not on M33 firmware, you suck.
Does anybody have much background on these guys? Not that I dont trust them or anything, Im just curious on where they are from, and if they have any previous work that really contributed to the homebrew scene, and more over then anything, if they got their own official website or something that they are primarily located at?
As of now M33 3.52 is the BEST!! CFW!!
Who gives a sh*t about these whiners about their Ohh we had to release out cfw early coz ps3news.com leaked us, wa wa wa... "oh stfu"
PPL support the M33 Team!
OE, M33 and now THIS!!?? jeez what next?
They are mostly well know devs in the community, though they would very much like to stay anonymous.
Recovery Menu always says i have CPU@222/111 even if i change it in menu. Is that bug or crappy new recovery menu ?
totally agree. People doesn't seem to understand that updates are not always there to fix bugs.
Also, some people are afraid that with so much flashing the PSP could be bricked. That's totally BS, because you can flash the NAND 1000x times and nothing happens. I always enable flash0 access to copy new themes etc. and I made it so often, that i can't count it anymore. Besides, even
if something goes wrong with the updates, only the NO-UMD could be broken. The other files are not even touched.
thank god for team wild card, but will all the current oe apps and themes work for it?
They call you nub cause of yer size, or r u just a p***y girlz?!
ditto, been running m33 for weeks now /w no problems. All you say there are problems, how about shutting tfu and produce a list of these problems?
Ha Ha Ha! What a pathetic attempt at making custom firmware! Team M33 is GOD anf no other custom firmware will ever replace it! The Soviets will not lose the custom firmware race. Mikhail Gorbachev will rise again!
i haven't had any problems due to m33 the only problem i had was when putting custom themes in i semi bricked it but this because i was noobish with themes but now i have learned my lesson. so m33 haven't caused me or anyone else that i know any problems so stop moaning i don't choose my firmware on what the coders attitude is or because i think there trying to take DAX's place like u lot do i choose them because they have the most up to date cfw and if someone brings out a newer cfw ill happily upgrade to them but i don't want to downgrade to a lower firmware just because u can access the recovery menu from xmb even tho this is good if they release 3.52 then ill upgrade thats if there inst any newer ones out just my opinion anyway
yes, nice look, nice work! keepworking!!!!
But people, when realees a 3.52OE-.. by d.x. CFW line? anybody know?
i use the Sony ISO loader, but get this thing to 3.52 and youve got a winner, this looks amazing
M33 is by far stable and updated. It worries me that this firmware is not using the most updated version of sony firmware. I think this "rushed" firmware is no excuse for not creating something that is better than what is out their. Keep trying it seems you have a long way to go.
I want 3.52 OE-A :(
do you have to make it and where should you put it because its not in thew readme some dude said after you make the data.dxar youre supposed to put it in the 340leflash folder.
I think it's safe to assume that if you guys release a 3.52 OE almost everyone will update to it and Team M33 will be left in the dust.
Please please please release 3.52 OE!!!!!!
im so sick of new firmwares coming out every other day , with what new features? NOTHING, make it better and then release it, mmmkay, thanks
"It's also interesting to note that Team Wildcard mentions, "We were also working on a 3.52 custom firmware with even more features which luckily was not leaked. But after recent events, we can no longer be sure if it will ever see the light of day.""
What the hell is that all about? And this is already an outdated firmware, though it seems pretty cool.
I keep reading that there is no reason to upgrade to a higher firmware like 3.52 (cfw), but I bought Alien Syndrome and it requires 3.50. So there is a reason too, unless for some reason custom firmware 3.40 oe or le can be use to load/play games that require 3.50 then I would like to know. Really.
i can play Alien Syndrome just fine with 3.30 OE, so i beleive you are misstaken
wow after seeing this i might downgrade and get this, i have a 3.50 official firmware psp, but im not smart enought to downgrade or install custom firmware. i have double math my first and second periods at school im so dumb
Go Nazi Forces...(luved tem in COD2)
The dumb guy up^ there(Ivan) is my slave...
he lives in a mental institution...so very true
This isn't the leaked edition, this the actual thing, they just titled their project leaked edition because of the leak that happened before they were ready to release.
Just a quick tip from the developpement forum, if some of your homebrew still works, but some doen't it may be becaus you have the __SCE__ and %__SCE__ appendages in the folder names, get rid of these and instead put the % mark at the end of the folder name (just match to all your other homebrew) also, there is a bug in the cpu speed settings, it will only change if you enter the internet browser...you can then exit and your cpu speed will be changed (confirmed by using PRXInfo)
A little side note too, if there are people who are a bit iffy on flashing this with custom icons installed, i flashed it with 3.40 OE and my Gears Of War icons just fine
CHECK THIS OUT! better than the other crap offers, no credit card, no nonsense!
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ele/391901861.html
I see CFW 3.51 at the bottom right of the psp screen in the video. But that wouldn't make sense since it's 3.40 LE.
Maybe Team Wildcard is headed by Sony... it looks too good to be true. A trap I say.
And this kids, is why you should stay in school.
It is, they just need to make a 3.52 version.
If you seriously need to ask if you have to make it and where you should put it because it's not in the readme (spelling and grammar errors corrected), maybe you should sit down with your parent(s) and ask about the birds and the bees. Maybe it's just me, but I don't need a readme for that.
I think the m33 dev team are a buncha flaming kiddies and thats just my own 'opinion' but as far as their development works go its pretty solid except i have one or two minor bugs such as when coming back from standby when lauched into and iso when i go to the next part of the game that requires loading it usually hangs and a hard reset is required. Personally im loving the look of this team wildcard firmware and the dev team seems to be pretty mature except i hope they have some thick skin so that some of the lamers in the scene dont ruin their development process because i cant wait for the 3.52 release with a sony patched loader and who knows what other features. Team Wildcard FTW!!!

Move it to PSP\GAME\RECOVE RY
run from recovery menu
Does it really matter which CFW is better? There isn't a need to convince people on which is better, it doesn't make a difference. Both of 'em are free either way. You really just have to decide what features you really want. If you play lots of brand new UMDs, then yes, 3.52 M33 would probably be a better choice. Now I have 3.40 OE-A. Personally, I am about to move to this 3.40 LE FW because I don't play much other than homebrew (NEVER PSP isos though, and only a couple of Playstation isos OF GAMES THAT I OWN). If I don't like the LE, I'll try 3.51 M33.
I see nothing wrong with people trying to BETTER the community. I currently use M33, I have problems with some homebrew, Xandu's media player for example.
I cheer for both M33 and WildC*rd
Maybe I am, i haven't really tried playing alien syndrome on my psp at cfw 3.40 oe-a. I bought it after the fact that I had already upgraded to cfw 3.52 m33. Hmm, I really do like the custom themes for 3.40. But I know that the game umd has an upgrade to 3.50, but this may not mean that it requires it. Damn, sony may have played me for a fool. I had assumed that when a game comes with an upgrade to a new firmware that it meant that I must be at that firmware version. This was true for all of my umd's. Interesting... Thanks wheh.
I'm really greatful for that fact that I am able to play homebrew games, after all that is truely the only reason that I bought a PSP. I remember trying to take it back the very next day that I bought it. There wasn't a HEN for 2.71 yet and I had NO INTEREST at all in any of sony's games (umd's) what so ever. So THANKS to all whom have made it possible for myself and others to play homebrew games on our PSP's. You've got to love custom firmwares...
Does anyone know if or how to get Timidity (latest version) working on cfw 3.52 m33. If you dont know, timidity is a midi player that has been ported to the psp and thank god for it. But mine stoped working when I upgraded to 3.52 m33. Says that the game or file is corrupted. Any help would be apprieated. Thank you.
Nevermind, I figured it out. It was my custom xmb theme that I was using. Sorry.
Lots of people use timidity to listen to there favorite console game music.
I installed the LE. The install went fine, slow, but it was ok and it gives you like 3 different chances to bail out. First when I booted it up it was nothing special. Except that it crashed as soon as the bootwaves appeared. So I just restarted it. Then, unlike the first time, it took a while to boot up. This time however, it gave me the "corrupted settings" screen. Everyone has probably seen that before, it appears right after you install and of the DAX FW's. So I hit O and the setup screens language defaulted to Japanese. The X button didn't work to continue tro the next screen. A second later I realized that O was enter and X was back. So my PSP changed to a Japanese PSP. (what a weeaboo)
Anyways, after trying tons of different things I got to the XMB. When I tried out that nifty new in XMB recovery menu, it froze as soon as I went into the general settings menu. When I reset, I got to the corrupted settings, still in Japanese.
After fudging around for a couple of hours, I remembered something somebody said about it setting up Flash1. So I went into Flash1 in the recovery menu (you can only get the actual recovery settings in the hold-R-on-boot menu) and deleted everything there. I got the corrupted settings screen again but in english this time. After that everything worked fine.
Luislizard's flasher program works just fine with this. The autodetecting GAME folder is kind of buggy. Demos won't run unless you set the default kernal to 3xx. Everything else worked fine after that tho, so I guess it's fine.
And BTW, the recovery menu DOES say 3.51 wildcard in it for some reason.
yay i just upgraded and i had no problems
i did this custom firmware update thing... its fine and very easy.. and there is no chance at all of bricking it.. all my friends have it, none of us have bricked... wat are you guys waiting for!
szia
I don't like M33 so I updated my 3.40 OE-A to this just to face a brick! This sucks! Never update to anything! Sigh... I guess this is it... I'm gonna leave the PSP scene forever...
ok so i just did it and no problems so ha! so happy...but how do i access the cool stuff on the vid????
i have a question ...how do i get the in-xmb menu? ..... wut do i press ???
did you resolve the problem. I couldn't find the answer yet
Finally!!! A custom firmware that actually looks good!
It's working good TY !
I've always hated TROLLS. Why don't you just go troll away at habbo hotel.
Just go troll at habbo hotel, where all the other trolling 10-year olds are.
i used this ... its almost all automatic
http://www.psp-hacks.com/2007/08/09/psp-upgraderdowngrader-v111/
It's working great
Thnx and keep up the good work
