Custom firmware update: PSP 3.80 M33-2 now out

PSP - Image 1The first update for 3.80 M33, Dark AleX's latest custom PSP firmware, has been released. This update fixes a couple of issues:
  • Function scePowerGetClockFrequency/scePowerGetClockFrequencyInt was not resolved properly due to a confussion between the two nids applying to the same function. Fixed, this update is necessary for plugins and kernel homebrew reporting psp cpu speed.
  • PSX EBOOT.PBP that have a icon of 80x80 pixels will not be replaced by Dracula icon in savedata.
Dark AleX provided an explanation for the icon issue in 3.80 M33:

In 3.80 pops, Sony has introduced a bug that causes a crash when the icon of the pbp is not 80x80, like those of psstore. To resolve the issue, M33 was replacing the icon in ram by the one with Dracuala image, what caused the side effect of ps1 save games having Dracula icon.


As the readme file takes note: to get this running, you're required to install 3.80 M33 first. Be reminded that you can also get the 3.80 M33-2 update via Network Update if you already have 3.80 M33 running on your PSP. As usual, refer to the readme file included in the download for installation instructions as well as more info.

Thanks to Buttonsoft, Dragoon, and all the QJ.NET readers who sent us tips about this update!

nooby Q

does HEN Core mean that homebrew can now be run on the slim? HEN stands for Homebrew Enabler rite...so is it as good as a 1.5 kernel?
by topshot2x - 2008-01-14 17:25:01
yep

confirmed it happens here too
by Metal Jody - 2008-01-14 17:32:06

3.80 m33-2

Installing the update couldn't be easier with the network update! :) Thanks to M33 Team, CFW is soo much better than OFW! 3.80 m33 and updates are all stable, iso games works perfectly, as well as homebrew applications like PSPTube and etc. Just sit tight and wait for more M33 updates!
by duffyangel247 - 2008-01-14 17:42:59
..

there sud be an update on that coming real soon... but prx works perfectly. damn sony's been altering codes, to increase security level.. but homebrew still manged it :)
by duffyangel247 - 2008-01-14 17:45:51

1.50 kernel?

When will the 1.50 kernel be released? Is it out???
by urherenow - 2008-01-14 19:39:25
yes 1.5 kernel, no it's not out yet

but of course it will be for psp 100x versions... never slim+light
by urherenow - 2008-01-14 19:42:06
major...

There is no reason at all to stick with 3.52. 3.71 m33-4 with the pops update will run every single pops version there is, plus multi disk game support and whatever else was added to the official firmware. you can also add the 3.80 radio thing to it if you feel so inclined
by EricDraven - 2008-01-14 19:44:06
what can i say...

hope can people not thank these guys? you rule, Dax, as well as Math and the rest of Team M33!
by Metal Jody - 2008-01-14 20:06:46
why

why am I hearing that the .prx's are working perfect when I can't even get music.prx, mp3module.prx, cxmb.prx to work??

Downgrade from 3.80 m33

Hi, I have a phat and slim with 3.80 m33-2. I'd like to go back to 3.71m33-4 for my phatty (some fav homebrew not working yet, waiting for 1.50 kernel add-on) i tried making pandora and magic memorystick (using despertar cementario and the ospbtv5), but no real luck there (i tested on the slim which is now semi-bricked, battery worked, i think the despertar cementario is not working correctly) any ideas for a phattie downgrade? or do i just wait for the 1.50 kernel add-on and use the orignal pandora? All help appreciated
by jmike78237 - 2008-01-15 03:59:31
1.50 add-on is out

checked DaX's site @ 4:00am cst(GMT -6:00). Its there. Updated my "slim" to 3.80 m33 @ work 13 hours ago, updated to m33-2 when I checked Dax's site, and will update my son's "phat" later today now that the add-on is out.
by jmike78237 - 2008-01-15 04:10:32
now it is

I checked Dax's site @ 4:00am cst (GMT -6:00) and the 1.50 add-on is posted. I've already downloaded it to install on my son's "phat" later today.

by Metal Jody - 2008-01-15 15:16:01
DAX should

come out with a 3.80 M33-3 that has this feature: -option to switch between "select" and "home" for VSHmenu in Recovery Mode. This is a reason I wont update past 3.52 M33-4 because I have to use "select". I use it for my PSP camera. DAX, pls make that option under Recovery Mode if you're going to make M33-3.
by JoJaSc - 2008-01-15 18:24:06
help please

hey I've been away from the psp scene for a while...I have Dark Alex's 3.10 OE-A firmware. I just want to make sure I do this right. Should my update path be 3.10 OE-A to 3.52 M33 to 3.52 M33 v2 to 3.52 M33 v3 to 3.80 M33? Or can I just go straight from 3.10 OE-A to 3.52 M33 v3 and then update to the 3.80 M33. I just need to know how to get to 3.52-3 without bricking my psp...thanks in advance.

eLoader and 3.80 M33

Apparently there is no support for eLoader, so I thought what the heck, maybe someone on here can help me out. Does eLoader work for anyone with 3.80 M33? I have not been able to get it to run ANYTHING. Even Installatron doesn't work. Anything I try to run quickly crashes with a bus dump error. I have not been able to get a single piece of 1.50 homebrew to run... EVERYTHING crashes with the same error. Before everyone tells me to run the 1.50 plugin, I am on a PSP Slim, so eLoader is my only option. I have formated the 8GB memstick several times, so that is not the problem either. All 1.0, 2.x, 3.x homebrew works fine out of the box, just nothing with eLoader.
by Jericto - 2008-01-15 20:20:52
Heeeeelp! please!

Will M33 versions allow PSP to play PSX in ISO file? And downgrading PSP will it make my PSP destroyed or else? heeelp me reply please
