Dark AleX releases PSP CFW 4.01 M33; 1.50 kernel add-on to follow |
Ó
![]()
It's finally here! Dark Alex and the rest of Team M33 have been popping in and out lately with their messages about creating a new custom firmware. While their previous release had CFW 3.90, the release of the official 4.01 FW prompted them to follow suit with one of their very own.
In comes CFW 4.01 M33 with the following changes:
- Bug fix: vshmenu didn't let change camera mode due to camera_plugin using select button. Fixed, now vsh menu will not be loaded when using the camera.
- Recovery can now be translated, See how below. Translation to spanish is autoincluded.
- Updated the M33 SDK with a new function and sample, and released the psp-packer tool to compress prx's and PBP's in the ~PSP format.
- The folder of 4.01 and highre homebrew will be GAME4XX so it won't need change on update.
Thanks to hellfire and MahSixFo for the tip!
Download: PSP CFW 4.01 M33
*UPDATE* PSP CFW 4.01 M33-2 has now also been released - check it out here. Likewise, the 1.50 kernel add-on is also available - click here for the kernel.

Saweet..
this is awesome
You Said "In comes CFW 4.10 M33 with the following changes" Shouldn't It Be 4.01 M33
noticed it too but too lazy to add another comment
thank you team M33
whoops.. Thanks for spotting! A little slip of the finger... It's edited now.
Can't wait to install it because my damn battery is at 15%
Can we using the internal update feature if we are running CFW 3.90 M33? I remember them saying that all future M33 release will be done through the system update feature, thus negating the need to download and update off of the memory stick. Is this true?
and it took forever searching for an update so i said screw it and downloaded it here
I'm surprised to see that they've got a 1.5 kernel add-on coming out. I'm not complaining because I still use it a lot; I just thought they were fazing it out.
mine did the same thing
I was upset about not being able to use select on my Chotto shot I just got
thank you for this great release dax! great job as every time!
yes i'm updating now for some reason network update won't work
The servers are probably getting hit hard right now with everyone trying to do network updates all at once. Give it some time, or download from here.
dark-alex.org is timing out so it's likely that the resources are swamped right now. If you don't want to wait you can always download the installer and the 4.01 update eboot for manual installation.
I realized that after awhile
Updating now server is down so i downloaded from here and had it download the 401.pbp for me can't wait for the 1.50 add on
there was going to be no more 1.50 kernal?
Well, i have updated to 4.01, but how do i get the in XMB recovery up?
shut off the psp and turn it on hold the R button
Thanks yet again DaX
In a status update posting, it was stated that the in-XMB recovery and savestates would likely not make it into the initial release and that you're likely to see those everything working with M33-2 or later.
Keeps getting better and better.
Does popsloader work with it?
1.50 kernel after all!! good news for us fat psp fans!
snes check ok!,pspfiler check ok!,pspube check ok!,adhoc file Transer check ok!iso games check ok! Irshell check :( doesnt work !%$!^!^!$#! again? Irshell doesnt work? wth??? so still what the big thing bout this firmware ???
I'm certainly happy that 1.50 kernel is still staying, and while devs need to give it up, 1.50 kernel is still needed for running old programs that haven't been updated for 3XX. There's not much in 4.01M33 that I can really use, so I'm going to wait for savestates before giving up the custom theme I'm using (Project Glow).
ir shell not workin (*****) hope some smart ass make a patch soon. DARK-ALEX LET SONY LOOK LIKE DUMB ASS
As grateful as i am for DAX and his lot making these custom firmwares, im just a wee bit disappointed with this update. We waited all this time (For 4.00 OFW, then 4.01 CFW) and there are no cool new features. I was expecting SOMETHING, seeing how Sony dropped the ball on it. I'd be happy to even hear that the Google search is gone But ah well, at least we're getting continual updates and fixes, so that in itself is pretty awesome. Keep up that CFWing, DAX
This is just an idea and I don't have the programming skills to do it, so don't flame me about this. After seeing how irShell allowed people to access a sort of in-game shell that actually worked very nicely allowing people to listen to music during games and such, I think In-Game Xmb might be a possibility for PSP. I realize this is very far-fetched and I have know idea how (code wise) it would be done, but considering the extra ram of the slim, Utopia coming out, and built in In-XMB Recovery on the horizon, I think this would be a great new goal for D_A with his new Custom Firmwares. Once again, Just an Idea.
pwns Sony again!
It was said that savestate and vsh recovery would not be 100% done, and be buggy. It is supposed to be included in M33-2, most likely. We'll surely see Despertar del Cementario v6 soon and maybe Time Machine v0.2?
To celebrate this joyous occassion, I will register with qj.net and post this comment. I am schluptnut from the old qj.net
this isnt bad but dax,and i know your reading this.can you get irshell and cxmb working again.thats bout the only issue i have.well cxmb i personally use more but some prefer irshell meh we need those compatibilities.thank you
sticking it to sony :P
Didn't DAX say that he "OFFICIALLY" says bye-bye to the 1.50 kernel update? It's great that he changed his mind! PHAT rules! SLIM is cool too. Gonna update when 1.50 kernel gets released! Will the plugins like nitePR or CXMB work still??? THX DAX! :p
I expected to see more of GEN in the recovery console options. Such as all the shutdown and reset options, the option to have vsh or recovery in xmb and certainly the capability to make a pandora softmod battery. I know mny new features are expected in m33-2. I just wish DAX and team wouldn't release teasers (or demos) so to speak. I wonder if it is us (the leaching homebrew fanatics) that induce premature releases being impatient addicts that we can sometimes be. DAX, take your time, nothing beats perfection, is it worth to to say "With x amount of time of Sony releasing 4.01, hackers release a new cfw!" I dunno, guess I'll wait for the next release...patiently this time. Thanks guys...
what happened to the save state feature, this looks like a good firmware and congrats to D_A but Ima wait till all the features like ctf's and irshell is done.
it works for me try putting. irshell 3.90 in game folder not the game401 folder.....
put it in the normal game folder it worked for me....
does any one know if there is a gba emu that works on the 3.xx kernel or higher? it one i had was for 1.50
its called gpsp
popsloader is still working +) i hope dax add 3.80/3.90 pops support in a later version
thanks
Just hold L+triangle in the beginning of the update. It'll bypass the battery check.
This is another great M33 release among many, and I think M33 is doing a fabulous job. However, I have no idea what Sony was thinking; all the search feature does is allow you to search via a special "Google PSP" interface, and save searches. You can already use google on the psp, and you can already save searches using the bookmarking tool. This new feature in my mind is totally useless and redundant. The video slowdown/speedup feature is only slightly useful at best. Come on sony, you can do better than this!
will Ir Shell be usable? will my plugins that ran on 3.90 m33 run on this one? i'll check later to see if everything works the same. it sounds like a good update!
4.01 pops is pretty much the same as 3.90 pops but 4.01 pops has memory card utility
hey how aboput we take this new search feature and relink it to run psptube?
how about we take the new search feature and relink it to run PSPTube?
go right ahead. You can use the XMB eboot launcher plugin. Then You can chnage the words from Google search to PSPTube using Rcoeditor. Easy as that.
i thought that there was this huge article saying team M33 official says bye bye to the 1.50 kernel. Oh well, i wanted it to stay :)
ir shell is somewhat usable.... so far ir codes work. the web browser works tho when you quit it leaves you on a black screen. you cant launch umds or any thing else for that matter. they will probably release a fix soon to make it fully compatable. i didnt test any plugins though
that would be a huge waste of time. you're really gonna whine because it takes 2 clicks of the down button to launch psptube? pathetic
how about you stop being a lazy douchebag and just run psptube normally? ITS NOT EVEN HARD
IR Shell works fine, just not on 3.xx kernels.
how about you stop being an *****?
all the plugins that i've tested... music.prx and cfe_game and vsh.prx works fine. i haven't tried popsloader yet. i'm kinda unsure about staying on this cfw. Ir Shell was something i really enjoyed having. until things are running perfectly again, i'm going back to 3.90 M33-3. i don't care about a speed adjuster for videos. and the Internet Search is lame. all it does is keep up with your search history. if there was Youtube Search, i'd definitely stay.
i just want 2 know if IRshell works at full & will my plugins work at all ( nitepr/cxmb )
maybe i wouldn't be so harsh if people would stop being like this. it's ridiculous. you would still have psptube under games anyway and it's just a click away. you'd be wasting lots of time trying to relink it for your convenience
it looks cool to have it in the XMB
QJ.NET's search engine :D
I have tested all of the hb that I use. All of the plugins work.(cxmb,CFE,cwcheat, extended vsh) Also boxhead,snes9xl,deadalus,polygon wars,kurok, psp filer and wack a mole all work, Nice work Dax.
in recovery menu/configuration the hide PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG in game menu option doesnt work. if you hit X on it, it just flashes and is always disabled.
Just updated to 4.01 M33, my NEO Pocket emu and others run without any problems :D.
it doesn't work online anyone have the same problem?
does socom work online for anyone?
I have the same problem only mine is stuck on enabled.
While I like the 1.50 kernel support, there aren't enough features to make me want to switch away from 3.95 Gen-2, which is ironic considering people's opinions of that firmware. With Time Machine, I really like the option to pandorize/unpandorize a battery, and I love the in XMB recovery menu. I'll update to m33-2, but I like the new homebrew features more than the new Sony features, and I can understand taking your time to implement crazy new stuff like savestates. Still, great work, m33!
some plugins dont work, m33xEver doesnt.... irshell never worked for me, i was on 390, but it was just a black screen...... had to turn off the video speed up thingy is really funny, specially on crank dat soljia boy
comment of the week right there! LOL hahaahahaha! why not, right? if dax would be kind enough, sure, i wouldn't mind! ^_^
It wont play the pmps :(
http://www.dark-alex.org/150k_addon401.rar 1.5 add-on is released.
good news :) Zx
I thought they were gonna discontinue the 1.5 add-on
Works for me.
Unofficial gpSP works on 3.XX, and so does the 1.00 eboot of gpSP 0.9.
can some one help me real quick... i need to update it but how do i do that without using the internet? i looked at the Read Me txt and tried wut it said but it was a little confusing so i need help updating this cuz i still have 3.90 m33.3. CFW.
So $.01 M33-2 is released but does not have the extras. It's a fix for the original 4.01 m33 release. M33 Network update is working. www.dark-alex.org is back on-line however the blogs are not connecting to the back end SQL servers so no blog access. 1.50 add-on for 4.01 m33 is released. good luck all.
for the phat?
i have tried to put this on my psp... now i have 4.01 owf and whenever i try to put cfw on i put in /psp/game/ and when i start it it says game could not be started and a number any know whats wrong?? any suggestions? help me please thanks
I can't get IR Shell working either... I had it working perfectly on 3.90 M33, but as soon as I updated to 4.01 M33, I get a black screen when I try to run it, and then the PSP shuts itself off... =/ Hope someone can figure out why some of us are having problems with it... while its working for others... maybe if people gave more details. BTW, mine is in my GAME folder... I always use GAME so I don't have to move things around between firmware updates.
when its verifying the 401.pbp, it says incorrect file. i followed the guide here and downloaded the files but i still got the same msg. im currently on 3.95 gen btw.
Anyone else noticed that when scrolling through the games list in the XMB, it's back to the speed it used to be? I remember since 3.5X and up the XMB would slow down slightly, and be choppy when scrolling through games. I'm sure this one is fixed, and runs much better.
SInce you upgraded to OFW 4.01, you will not be able to install CFW 4.01. Looks like you need to find a pandora battery before you can go to CFW.
Anyone that can't get IR Shell working with 4.01m33-2, check out my post here: http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?p=2070239&posted=1#post2070239 for the solution
Probably a stupid question, and I don't want to get flamed for it, but I have to ask: Is this CFW compatible with the Slim? I'm adding CFW to some friends' PSPs and I want to make sure before I add this to it. Thanks in advance.
Im havin trouble wit this i put the sony update 4.01 in the 4.01 M33 update folder as 401.pbp ....but when i start it the thing says game could not start and then some more stuff ...............plzzzzzzzz help meeee
