From Dark AleX with love: PSP CFW 5.00 M33 released *Update* |
Woot! Dark AleX sure caught us off guard! I haven't even fully started up my computer yet and boom: a flooded inbox of tips! Well, here we have it: Dark AleX's PSP custom firmware 5.00 M33. Here's what's new:
- 4.01 to 5.00
- Bug fix: when changing speed in xmb, and the psp turned the brightness to 0 automatically the speed was reseted to 222 again.
Bajillion thanks to J_Gat, Alexey86i, Kari, redmoon9, Dragar, pspx256, Blade_punk, Fadil, Nathanias for the tip! (Yeah, we're kinda late, huh? <--- understatement?)

*Update* Dark AleX did a quick hi-hello in their forums, responding to some reported problems with loading PSX games on CFW 5.00. Here's his note:
Some people have noticed an error 0xFFFFFFFF appearing launching their psx games.
The reason of this is due to some converters like psx2psp using 32 bits depth when converting the png icon, and new pops only support 24 bits format.
In future versions M33 will check if the depth is invalid, and in that case replace the icon by the dracula one, anyways this is not critical, and an update won't be released only for this.
If you want to make those psx games work in this version, reconvert them using popstation command line tool and using a 80x80 24 bits png icon. Alternativelly if you want to continue using psx2psp and you don0t mind about savedata icon being dracula one, go to options in psx2psp, and in icon0 select "Old default".
He has also since then released a bugfix for this PSX problem. For now, he won't release a new CFW version just for this update, but for those who want a quick fix, here it is.
This is a bug in M33 code that is caused sometimes with certain icons. I'm not gonna bother do an update only for this but I'll post the file that fixes this for anyone wanting to fix it manually replacing the file.
This also fixes document.dat not working.

I just got in, so... yeah! Thanks again for your tip Dragar! DAX is just amazing! Let the 'brew flow! ^_^V
Hot.
Wow that didnt take long lol.
Dark Alex is teh Homebrew God!
*worships shrine of DAX
now, can the 3000 be flashed??
respect Dark Alex, that was fast! :)
i don' know why, but i can't connect to my wi-fi access point in this cfw.
that's a bug or only for me can't work ? please help me ! :)
DAX you're the man! Best PSP hacker out there alive. Keep up the good work.
Dark AleX is so awesome, he just keeps throwing awesome stuff at us, ROCK ON DAX!!!
Now will this play my UMD's?
I couldn't upgrade to 4.01M33 or -2 because of that.
im installing and testing on my friends spare unit right now!
i've been at 3.80 cfw for so long, i'm not sure what to expect! :)
Thank you once again, DaX!
I also submitted a news tip you about this, but instead got 3 emails from 'MAILER-DAEMON@garibald i.swishmail.com' with a lot of techical babble. What's up with that?
Anyway, Dark-Alex is on fire!
*Anxiously waits for Despertal del Cementerio v8 with 3K compatiblity.. ;-)*
this man rocks
U ROCK MAN!!!
all i need now is 1.50 kernal
THANK YOU DARK ALEX FOR THE CUSTOM FIRMWARE!
BIG SALUTE!!!

UMDs do work on 4.01m33 If you where haveing problems with UMDs on 4.01 m33 then it was most likely errors that could be fixed by formatting Flash 1 or resetting MAC.
got my psp ready. lets go
Turns psp on......nothing
Plugs in A/C..........Turns on
hmmmm right after I charge my battery :(
that we can now load backups? is the kernal 1.50? Would our old homebrew work/!!!
AHHH! DAX I LOVE YOU!
EVERYBODY DONATE TO HIM. HE DESERVES IT.
Ever since I changed to 4.01m33, the custom backgrounds that I put with my ripped PSX games on Popstation don't show. I'd like for them to show up again.
throws many kisses
all my progs still work, pico drive, nester j 1.50, bookr, uno, beautiful!!!
only thing not working right now is IRshell and thats probably my fault, my config is always messed up. :)
Dax is tha MAN!
OK, I'll try it your way. Thanks.
The most useful prx is not compatible with the 5.0 firmware.
I wasn't able to locate the author's (DarkSidious) email. Could one of you higher ups possibly do the job?
I'm aware that 5.0 claims to have Auto-USB mode, but it is vastly inferior. It just kicks you to the USB connection screen, which disallows you to navigate through the XMB while connected to your computer.
In other words, Sony fails.
You are the Best Dark Alex. Keep it comming Dont ever quit
rocks this man
I dont mean to be a FreePlay but I just got it via network update and it said "file not found" for the 500.pbp file. Guess I'll have to download the update manually and install it.
Can I use this upgrade on a PSP Phat?
Also, Which is the lowest FW I can directly update to this with?
Thank you
Try using Red Squirrels Alternate VSHMenu. It works with that.
i love you too xD but hey dont take that too seriously :$
Utopia sources released:

o ***** ya mutha *****kaa a fresh new firmware wow
can we play our backups?
The popsloader isn't working and the 1.50 kernel add on isn't out yet..hey DAX Thx for everything ~~Much Respected~~
recover with DC v7
it has an idstorage regenerator
sounds like your umd key is dodgey
yes
i believe 3.71m33 was the last you had to directly update to before you could go further
but why wouldnt you just pandora straight up to the bigguns
man rocks this
i had that problem once on my phat.
go to the store you bought it in and check if they can fix it.
some please confirm if homebrew works with 5.00.
homebrew is the main purpose of dark-alex's work on m33, all the homebrew apps i use work - I don't use any old 1.5 stuff, which probably wouldn't work but none of that is really needed these days..
but i thought that was what the 1.50 kenel addon is (i kinda gave up on PSP a while ago, until today when 5.0 m33 came out +P)
I know the day will come when they won't, but I hope that day isn't today!
I like to customize my emulator eboots with pictures and start-up jingles. If anyone knows what program to do this with on 4.x eboots that doesn't corrupt it PLEASE let me know!
PSPBrew doesn't work with them :(

I hate how you still can't say SP00N on here... very annoying... QJ needs to stop using Net Nanny!
I am pleased
very much.
:)
this rocks man
i lol'd
..and lol with u
Go DA Go!!!
Thank you for all your work and efforts. I just can't thank you enough. Your a GOD among mortals!
man... This rocks!!! and so does DAX
rocks man this
S.H. cork's mantis
this is cool but will there be a 1.5 add on ?
Dude so gay: Everytime I try to update, it freezes at 99% and goes back down to 84, then back up to 99.. and so on. Anyone know a fix for this?
so dumb -___-.. i bricked twice trying to do this, i even had to freaking hardmod my only battery for this bs.
of course we can you dumb *****3r
Can we now use a composite cable to play on TV out? Since I heard that 5.00 will support interlace.
You keep the PSP homebrew scene alive!
Go to dark-alex's forum... He Has released a patch.
skcor nam siht
I think PSP Content Manager lets you do that.
if you have problem with stuck pixels use ifined program gogoole it! I used to have psp slim but I sold it I bought a phat for simple reason it has loads of cheap price accesories like tannoy psp speaker and psyclone nodus and nyko theater.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAY!!!!!!!
Excellent work!!!!
I just tried to install this custom firmware, and everything was going great, till my battery fell out. Now it won't start again. Anyone got a clue on how to fix it? If you do, please leave me a comment here, and also send me a mail on my GMail titled "I know how to fix your brick". My GMail adress is john.d.mcclane
Can someone help me? My PSP got bricked because my battery fell out when I was like 1 % of the installation, and now, since I think it's bricked, I can't get it to start again. Is there anything I can do?
you wouldnt happen to have a pandora battery or a service tool battery would you...

I think mine was, I was actually on DaX's forums when he released it. First thing I did was report to QJ lol
/\
before any one signs up does any one think that they could use the psp online store to track the people that use the cfw ?
I need a new firmware!
Well done DA! 5.0 is pretty awesome, them new waves are beautiful. I download literally hundreds (in packs...) of custom XMB waves but they're all terrible since the designers don't have design skills. And the 5.0 wave pwns the lot.
Even tempted to buy stuff from the store. It's just so nice having games there and accessible wherever there's a hotspot.
Still needs a way to log on and stay logged in (a la Xbox Live) for messages, emails etc. One can dream!
hey....dax just released 1.50 kernal add on for 5.00 M33 :) even though i dont use it i figured i would give heads up to the people here at pspupdates :)
DAX works for Sony marketing

1.5 kernel is really just for the real old homebrew. i dont have 1.5 kernal because i have a slim, and i dont think there is anything i cannot run that i actually wanted or needed.
haha. that blows. try running pandora.
I love the guy, for real. He's awesome. He can impregnate women by simply being in their presence.
I haven't really messed around with my PSP for a while, and I'm still running FW 3.52M33. Is it possible for me to upgrade to this firmware, and if so, can I still use my FW 1.x apps? BTW, I have a TA-081 PSP Phat.
don't waste your time you cant play backup games and most homebrew wont work
If you are having issues playing UMDs on CFW try changing the clock speed. I do know that Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank worked fine for the most part at 266. Everything else it would end up freezing somewhere. But why can't we play our games online in CFW?
DAX!!! KEEP IT UP MATE!!!
your a gawd!!!!!
I can't connect to my router with this firmware, any solution?
Woooooooooooot! !!!!!!!!! Dude Alex u the bomb XD!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey guys i got the new m33 5.o installed but now my games failto run off the memory card the games are star wars force unleashed and NBA Live 09. I get an error(the game could not be started (800203321) please help wot have i done wrong????
skcor siht nam
Man rock u
YAY!
try going to VSH menu and chage the
"UMD ISO MODE" to "sony NP9660" or "M33 DRIVER"
How do i get into the vsh menu/?
That's because in british english, a P00N is that whole that some people have in between their thighs, just under their stomach. I suppose QJ is supposed to make believe that all humans are like barbie dolls, i.e. just flat there.
I said hole; not whole... what's going on here?!
press "select" if it doesn't apear turn off your system compleatly and hold the "R" button and turn it on go to "configuration" then down to "USE VSH" enabled it go back and try "select" again
