Dark AleX - Image 1


Badda-bing-badda-boom! It was announced yesterday that the new M33-4 custom firmware would be "released in a few days," and some people were expecting it to hit during the weekend. Well, here's a toast to a speedy release: CFW 5.00 M33-4 for the PSP is here!

Dark AleX even has a new banner on his site. DAX Sackboy like whoa!

Now, here's the changelog:
  • Speed selected for umd/iso was not properly locked in some new games that used scePower_EBD177D6 instead of scePowerSetClockFrequency to change speed.
  • UMD/ISO speed settings now apply to PSN games too.
  • Fixed libupdown.prx connecting to dark-alex.org instead of sony when npsignin_plugin checks for a new version and m33 update is enabled.
  • Iso file descriptor was not closed in driver deletion
  • Added a shutdown command to vshmenu.
Thanks to JaX3RiR, earl_grey, and papakep for the heads up!

"The update will come with bug fixes, and will sport new features as well."



5 changes

4 of them are bug fixes.

So the "features" "are" the shutdown command?



Not as spectacular as I tought but, well...

# Trying out the network update — RocSqualie 2008-12-05 10:02
"Network Update has found a later version.

To download, insert a Memory Stick with at least 1 MB free space and press the X button" Hahaha this is the first time using the Network Update. It actually works :D



Thanks DA!

Disable all of your plugins and try them one by one. It fixed the problem here.

You *are* holding it down for the several seconds normally required to do the full powerdown, right?

# sony — calo 2008-12-05 11:02
do you want to know what a good idea would have been, for if sony were smart they would have put the option to turn on or off the wifi in the psp through the settings, coz the amount of people i hear breaking the wifi button is unreal. it would save a lot of people hassle in getting that repaired.

# Another idea — Covet 2008-12-05 11:17
Hows about an option to put the PSP into sleep mode from the VSHmenu?

Mine's always worked. I've updated my CFW three or four times doing a network update.



However, I can't seem to update it now. It seems to be down...

I'm also grateful for the shutdown feature, my power switch is in bad shape. The little protruding dots and arrow have snapped off and the switch is now completely smooth. It's a little difficult using it.

# Fail idea.. — Christian Banks 2008-12-05 13:02
options to reset and power off the psp are good ideas cause they save time.

to put the psp in sleep mode, you just pudh the switch up and release real quick.

it would take more time to open the vsh menu and hit sleep then it would to just do it normally.

# no — Foolmonkey 2008-12-05 13:16
Not a fail idea. If you want to prolong the life of your switch then it's good. Then you'd only have to use your switch to turn on your psp thus barely ever using the switch.

A plugin such as the Game Categories Plugin might've caused it since it adds it's own options to the VSH Menu.

I charge my batteries always off. Never plug it in half way. Also use it all up before you charge it and have another ready to go.

# Need the battery — locobrown 2008-12-07 19:49
CFW is what allows us to virtually do anything and run ISOs as well.

# Nice Sack Boy.. — sage3k 2008-12-08 00:55
Does this mean we could possibly see a CFW for the PS3? that would be awesome!

# CFW upgrade — beto_cva 2008-12-08 07:29
So once Im able to run ISOs can I easily upgrade to another CFW without using the battery??
