Custom Firmware 3.95 GEN released

Posted Jun 1, 2008 at 2:29AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Applications, News Tags: Custom Firmware, psp homebrews, Sony, XMB

The clock has finally struck midnight and developers behind the much awaited custom firmware 3.95 GEN have finally delivered on their promise to make this latest CFW available to the public.

As previously mentioned, CFW 3.95 GEN will be fully compatible with the PSP Fat models. Also, the VSHMENU from Popsloader, most of the functions of IRShell, and the CXMB were tested on the new CFW with limited success.

Here's the breakdown of CFW 3.95 GEN's changelog:

General

Kernel updated to 3.95 (new nids, patches etc.)

Recovery

Option added in recovery to choose between VSHMenu and in-XMB recovery.
Option added in recovery to choose between Sony, GEN and M33 network update modes

Access vshmenu/recovery with the SELECT button.
Network Update icon can download directly from the GEN server (adjustable)

We remind the readers that you will need to have a PSP running on at least CFW 3.71 M33 to get 3.95 GEN working on your handheld. As always, don't forget to check out the Readme.txt file included in the file bundle for more information on how to install CFW 3.95 GEN. You can also view additional details on its different functions there.

It doesn't even work for me

I start up the update and it freezes at the PSP loading screen

Guess I got lucky with what finding out that the PS1 games and homwbrew don't work

Btw, It's gonna be a while before 4.00CFW comes out

Sony hasn't even announced it yet

(It Still doesn't mean that they're not doing it)

It bet that DaX is making his own CFW right now

# yep it's really crap lol — K33PY 2008-06-01 04:04

no homebrew loading at all on my psp. Anybody got and homebrew to work ?

# ooops — K33PY 2008-06-01 04:08

I had 3.95 kernal on lol turned it to 1.50 and guess what still not working. Now where did I put pandora lol

# Works for me — skoomaeater 2008-06-01 04:11

I've tried almost every PS1 game, homebrew, and UMD's (backup and disk) that I own, and it works for me.

Good Job Guys!

# what psp you got — K33PY 2008-06-01 04:13

Have you got the slim or phat psp ?

# idk... — omegaridley 2008-06-01 04:17

ive got 3.90 m33-3

This custom firmwares seems to be a good one, and i am considering downloading it, but at the same time, im not....

if anyone thinks i should download this, well, tell me if this CFW is good...

# arrr — Dr1ver 2008-06-01 04:20

so thats what the wait was for the gen update servers

# So far So good — sage3k 2008-06-01 04:23

I just updated my Old PSP Phat and it's working with no issues. CTF's aren't working though. And so far all homebrew that I have attempted to play isn't loading past the boot screen.

Maybe an update soon?

# *sigh* — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 04:23

I hate detractors... Do you people actually think before you speak?

1 - 3.xx Homebrew is working fine! 1.50 Homebrew doesn't work due to the lack of the 1.50 subset... Let's see if the GEN team releases it...

2 - PS1 Emulation works fine through the popsloader... Did you even think that is why it comes included? 3.95 pops does not seem to be working though but I'm guessing they'll fix that...

3 - Plugins seems to function too... I even got rid of the an issue firmware 3.90 m33 used to give me...

4 - The memory stick issues in GAME are gone... Or at least seem to be... I have no lag at all

I'd rate this as a 8/10 release because the most interesting features (3.95pops and 1.50 subset) are not available yet... Still its a very good firmware

# PSP bricked? — niehaus 2008-06-01 04:33

I played an ISO (made of Original UMD), after quiting the game a black screen appears ;(

took the battery, plugged it in again but nothing but a black screen appears.

putting the eboot of the 3.95 GEN update to /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY doesnt work?

DO i have to use pandora?

# Working fine — diasam 2008-06-01 04:35

Loaded ISOs, 3.xx Homebrews and PSX Games without errors on PSP Slim.

# Great job — Triompf 2008-06-01 04:36

He did a great job but i stick on 3.90 m33-3

# Fixed Font Issues — diasam 2008-06-01 04:39

This update also fixed the trouble I was having with 3.90 M33-3. With M33 it couldn't recognize files that were in other languages even though the fonts were there (ex. files with Japanese names). This update fixed it and is working perfectly.

# Finally — skoomaeater 2008-06-01 04:39

Finally, someone with some understanding and common sense. And to all you people insulting this, saying it is crap, this is a great release, and trust me, you aren't hurting anyone's feelings by not updating. I'm currently enjoying the sleep function only in 3.93+ in the internet radio player +)

# **DOUBLE SIGH** — sage3k 2008-06-01 04:40

1 - 3.xx Homebrew is working fine! INCORRECT.

2 - PS1 Emulation works fine through the popsloader... NOT, they all boot to a black screen with the optional POP's versions. when one is selected the system freezes.

4 - The memory stick issues in GAME are gone... THIS i can agree on. I have a 16 Gig ms and it's lighting fast.

The 3.95Pops and 150subset would be great. but I don't think it will be any time soon. I agree it's pretty solid. 8/10!

# Sounds like a bad flash — skoomaeater 2008-06-01 04:42

I would probably go ahead and Pandbatt it. At can't really lose much +/

# Tight...But I Can Wait :) — The Patriot 2008-06-01 04:42

No Disrespect to the creators of this latest firmware but just as I am with dax I'ma update when they fix all the issues but good job for the most part! :) I hope to use this FW as i want to try it for myself but for right now I'll just stay on 3.90 M33 :) Thanks again and I hope to see some good updates from you guys! :)

# Working great.... — BIH 2008-06-01 04:44

Installed a few mints ago works like a charm....

Like the new recovery menu...deffinetly one of the better custom fws not made by DAX...

And for the wingers out there ...how about you STFU? learn to code and make your own custom fw to suit you....

You people dont realise that the developers arnt asking for money to make these for us.

Also get over the "OMFG DAX DIDNT MAKE THIS, ITS GOTTA SUCK" while Dark Alex is a great dev and i thank him for all his work..there are other great devs too out there and because of you most devs dont want to even release something like this becuase they know idiots will shoot it down, because its not made by Dark Alex.

# Video Install — BIH 2008-06-01 04:48

Sorry for the crap camera uity the best thing i have at the mo but its watchable....

# ***TRIPLE SIGH*** XD — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 04:49

pops loader works fine for me... I've been testing various game (Castlevania, Brave Fencer Musashi, GTA I + II, and other) and they work like charms...

so does all the homebrew 3.xx i've tested... Though right now I only have the fabulous PSPPDA

# Agreed... — sage3k 2008-06-01 04:50

I just found a fix for the POPs issue I had. I changed the Popsloader files for the ones on the Dax site. All Pops are now working great.

Great job Team GEN. and funny I am working on my own CFW.. but im not as good as any of the coders from the past. More work and Q/A time for me!!

# ***TRIPLE SIGH*** XD HA! — sage3k 2008-06-01 04:54

Nice.. I changed the pops files from the download and they are now working great. The PDA works great as well. Guess I'm good 2 go now!

# Idiots... — Ivory_soul 2008-06-01 04:59

This is why you wait before updating. You just screw yourself and I don't feel sorry for any of you. From what I've seen homebrew doesn't seem to work so I'm holding off until and update it released to fix this. I may even wait for DAX's CFW.

# Without OFW — mohammad7410 2008-06-01 05:00

I've uploaded the file without Sony's original firmware to make file size a lot less, but you have to download original firmware, here's the link:

any one that can help me plz email me at mymoneyarnold@g mail.com or post here. i really need help

# psssssplover — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 05:37

do you at least have a CFW installed? My guess is that you must me on an official FW by Sony...

note to 3.93 CFW users: i've been getting reports that the 3.95 GEN installer DOES NOT work on 3.93 CFW...

# no — psssssplover 2008-06-01 05:40

no i have the official fw of sony 3.95 n i downloaded it the put the update into my game folder. i disconeted my psp n went to play it. it showed up n i pressed x for it to start. the it said this game could not be played.

# Both — skoomaeater 2008-06-01 05:46

Both

# That's your problem — skoomaeater 2008-06-01 05:51

You can't install this from any OFW. You need to have a custom firmware installed. If you have friends with custom PSP's they can help you, otherwise you'll need to have someone trustworthy from the list of unbrickers to do it for you. My guess is that you probably won't, so you are pretty much SOL

# damn — psssssplover 2008-06-01 05:53

n there is no other way

# hmmm.. — roddollente 2008-06-01 05:54

i can't get my ironman ctf to work. maybe because it's for 3.90 m33?

and, ps1 games dont work for me. i tried pressing R button but it doesn't show popsloader, instead, it goes right to the Playtation logo. then the screen goes black. tried it with a couple of games (tactics ogre, castlevania, tekken 3, etc.) but didn't work for me. i tried both popsloader.prx from dax and gen, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

time to play lego indiana jones :)

# pandora way — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 05:58

only if your friends make you a pandora downgrade... no other way i'm afraid

# also — roddollente 2008-06-01 06:00

homebrews work. :)

# plugin issue is back — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 06:01

okay... now i'm confused... xD

my plugin issue from 3.90m33 is back... if i activate certain plugins the plugin works but the controls in-game do not... anyone has this issue?

and for the haters, this also happened in 3.90m33-3 so no its not a 3.95GEN issue

# pandora — psssssplover 2008-06-01 06:01

none of my friends have a pandora battery. where can i buy one

# successfully unbricked — niehaus 2008-06-01 06:06

yes it worked using Pandora CMD tool

# replace the + with a +? — roddollente 2008-06-01 06:12

maybe the + with an +

# huh? — roddollente 2008-06-01 06:15

it doesnt put in the equal sign. lol. replace the plus sign with the equal sign.

# So *****ing true people — c74gta4smash 2008-06-01 06:19

You don't just rush to the first thing. Look at how *****ty cfw 3.93 is. I doubt anyones using it. You have to wait for bug reports and some reviews before you ***** with the flash and give your self limitations. Look before you leap. and you wont have to talk about how *****ty of a deal you got.

# I only use my PSP for PSP games, music, videos, — UltimaArmorX 2008-06-01 06:47

and maybe pictures for text files converted to bmp.

WE DON'T NEED ANY FIRMWARE ABOVE OR BELOW 3.90 UNTIL A CAPCOM, SQUEENIX, OR OTHER BIG COMPANY'S GAME REQUIRE IT! YEAH, WOO.

# By the way — UltimaArmorX 2008-06-01 06:49

is there a mass disliking of comments going on around here or what? lmfao

# fatmsmod — kevin1003 2008-06-01 06:51

it still seems to have ms loading problems.

use dax's patch to load 3.71 fatmsmod. tested and is also working on 3.95 gen

# what is the point of updating to this? — StingBlah 2008-06-01 06:58

will someone tell me why I should update to this from 3.90 m33?

# it happened again — gr8tlegend 2008-06-01 07:04

I tried to play my psone game ran pop's loader selected one at random pop's for 3.71 or maybe it 3.72 in any case now my psone game does not want to function .....HELP

# WOOT — SkipperWarlock 2008-06-01 07:05

Gratz on the release! Can't wait to test it out, and hope they release a 1.50 subset and 3.95 POPS.

# problem — josefool213 2008-06-01 07:12

i just upgraded and i can't get my themes to work on it. can someone help me

# sweet — iamback(unregistered) 2008-06-01 07:37

This firmware looks to be quite spiffy. I especially like how it all modulates together well with the OFW and the m33 firmware updates. Thus, with this, it appears as though you can switch to any firmware you want at will. I'm still waiting for the day where the dark alex will be able to make a firmware that can run on ANY PSP, straight out eboot format (I know all about pandora and time machine; I mean one where you can download an eboot, and let it run. That'd make homebrew totally universally available to anyone with a PC).

Anyhow, I think I'll try it out on the PSP Slim that I won from www.swatcash.com/admin

They are really spiffy, and have even made a new game where you get paid for just playing a simplistic "battleship" style game.

Erm, lol. I think I went slightly off topic there. Anyhow, I look forward to 4.00 Gen :)

# hmmmm — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 07:43

support for themes seems to be broken... also the fatmsmod issue is nonexistant for me and i didn't have to use the patch...

# Interesting.... — degenrise 2008-06-01 08:07

I am trying 3.95 GEN and the things the said would work, work and the things they said may have issues, have issues. The only wierd thing is I cant go into usb mode from recovery. Not the flash modes but the regular usb. Maybe I missed that comment? Not sure. I do however hope they make a fix for cxmb.

# hmmm — Hekynn 2008-06-01 08:12

Jeeez what about 4.0? man cant wait for 4.0 :)

# whats the BIIIIGGG thing! — Rabies 2008-06-01 08:28

I'm not moved by what i saw.

downgrade back to 3.90 M33-3.

plugin issue, yes.......but recovery is well done......beyond that its #UCKRY.

# whats the SMAAALLL thing! — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 08:42

why is it "#UCKRY"?

it works as well as any DAX firmware and has some of the same bugs, and some fixed (like the msfatmod one) only thing missing is as i said before native 3.95 pops and 1.50 subset...

What did you expect? You're psp turning into a psp toaster? If you have nothing to talk about then just don't... Its utterly not needed...

On the pspgen.com forums MaXiCieN said that a fix for themes support is coming...

# 3.93->3.95 Test Indiana Jones under 395 as ISO->bricked PSP — niehaus 2008-06-01 08:46

Perhaps this can help the developers to improve their CFW ;)

Upgraded from 3.93 to 3.95,

then I tested Lego Indiana Jones(ISO) under 3.95 GEN

After quitting the game I had a black screen. after turning fully off an on:still black. This bricked my PSP.

Got it running again with Pandora ;)

Any idea why this happened?

# snes emulator probs — degenrise 2008-06-01 08:59

I have also found that the snes emulator is not working. It gets to the rom selection fine. When I try to load a rom it freezes. There obviously are still some bugs. I do however feel that they will fix the problems though.

# hmmmmmm - part 2 — KyyubiDX 2008-06-01 09:06

well I've had no problems whatsoever up till now with games... so nope... no idea why your psp got bricked... sorry...

as for the emulator problem... i haven't tested any... maybe i should just for kicks

as for the plugin issue well i just found out the reason

seems like cwcheat locks up the keyboard for some reason... must be misconfiguratio n

# 3.95 buggy — frostbitehunter 2008-06-01 09:09

cxmb didnt work.didnt test the others but i like the option of custom themes and it just froze trying to restart in cxmb mode

so what did i do.i tried to reflash to 3.71 m33,i was selected on the gen server option still though so of course i was frozen.luckily my mss also has the setup to go to ofw so i did that and fixed self.now i gotta repandorize to 3.71 m33 and update again but meh.so if you find this to be an issue,now ya know how to fix it.assuming you got the totalnewbi setup files just press o upgrade to ofw 3.95 then pandorize back to fix errors

BTW can someone help every time i exit skype or select the camera my psp crashes any help?

# Works Beautifully — fourmyfriends 2008-06-01 10:23

Just remember to check your settings everybody.

Go to your recovery menu, make sure you region emulation didn't get switched, mine did, it ended up on Europe instead of US somehow. Also my no-umd was on normal instead of m33, network updates where set to sony. I moved all my setting back to the way I like them, and everything works wonderfully.

Also love to see the option to make a pandora battery in the recovery by default.

got vice city cso running with cheatdevice plugin no problems. load time seems faster on it.

Stakker loaded with no problems, internet is fine, MP3 is fine, I dont see any problems, but i haven't tried any psx games yet, to lazy to load one on the memory stick.

Innovative in it's own right, functional, overall I'm very impressed 9/10

# too many problems I hear about 3.95 GEN — Metal Jody 2008-06-01 11:48

I don't think I'll update to this one. I read that PSPtube doesn't work and camera icon crashes it. this is an absolute "no" for me. sticking with 3.90 M33-3 ^_^

# hmm. 395 gen is indeed crappy — sergeidragunov 2008-06-01 13:56

psp classic ver. 3.93 w/ 150 subset upgrade to 3.95 gen

plugins working on my psp

--vshmenu.prx

--music.prx[GAME]

--screenshotbmp.prx[GAME]

these are ok to enable and the psp wont freeze at start up.

plugins not working on my psp

--cxmb.prx

--joysens.prx

whenever i try to enable these plugins and then exit recovery menu, my psp will freeze and turn off just before the start-up screen.

however, if i disable these plugins---everything works smoothly.

on 393 w/ 150 subset

--when quitting a game(ISO) its fast to return to home menu

on 395 gen

--when quitting a game(ISO) its a little slow to return to home menu. anybody else notice this?!

# Should I upgrade and if so, why? — Wally12 2008-06-01 14:27

I have fat PSP running M33 CFW 3.71. Is this CFW made by M33? Also, should I upgrade my PSP, and why?

# I do think so... — GH[ ]ST 2008-06-01 14:44

I think so!

I love the new Recovery features but the only down fall of it was that stupid pink text looks so out of place [Not that it matters].I haven't found anything to be wrong with it so far but I haven't tried 1.50 games on it yet.But really with all the older games and apps going to 3.xx versions...does it really need that 1.50 add-on?

# when upgrading,,, — maqyboi 2008-06-01 15:21

pls.. when upgrading,, disable all your plugins in the recovery menu... there are times that your psp will be brick,,, and always make your nand-dump.. using nand manager .. here is the link... http://www.geocities.jp/minerva4096/bin/NandManager_v0.51.zip

# I dont like it much..... — degenrise 2008-06-01 15:23

I have given 3.95 a fair trial and at this point, have decided to go back to the reliable 3.90 m33. 3.95 gen is to buggy and not worth missing out on the things that are compatible with the m33 cfw. I hope they keep up the work and get it less buggy. When that happens, I will give it another shot.

# Help with pop's — gr8tlegend 2008-06-01 15:31

I used the pop's loader on this firmware and just like my previous firmwares when I selected a pop's from the popsloader I got a black screen it does not proceed to the game. I need help.

# tough cookies — digicron 2008-06-01 15:33

you need a CFW to upgrade to this CFW because you cannot go to a CFW from an OFW . as other people have said to you before, you need someone with a Pandora batt so you can go back to 1.50 then upgrade to the CFW of your choice. you are basically screwed if you dont know anyone with a pandora batt. sony is not going to just allow you to put on a CFW with ease.

# My 2 cents — Sinphaltimus 2008-06-01 17:43

Hi All,

New here but not new to the site or PSP CFW. Just thought I'd post my upgradde experience to 3.95 GEN.

They added the iso video mount back! Sweet!

- Got some work to do. Cutoms gameboot and flash0 customizations (background and wave) are gone.

Time machine no longer works to boot slim in to 1.50 mode. I'm guessing this is due to firmware change.

This happened on my fat as well when I reverted 3.93 GEN back to 3.90 m33-3.

I'm going to update my fat to 3.95GEN, restore my flash0 updates, reinstall timemachine, then test 1.50 homebrew and PS1 games and I will report back when done.

UPDATE - OK, I've successfully restored my slims flash0 customizations and fixed timemachine - I have a memstick with all the TM files on it so I simply needed to re-run the setup under 1.50 for the slim.

Now to upgrade the fat.

Fat is completed pretty much the same as the slim except I did not have to re-install timemachine. BONUS!

Not going to test every homebrew and iso/cso and PS1 game right now. Thus far, looks like all 3.90 M33-3 functionality is retained plus some GEN additions to the recovery as well as being able to configure either VSH or Recovery menus when you press select which is cool. And anything CFW 3.95 offers on top of it.

So thumbs up so far -

And I like the ability to switch the network update to NONE, Sony, M33 or GEN. I think that was really kewl of them.

I've tested PS1 games and they work fine without enabling poploader prx. Also the 1.50 issue doesn't apply to me since I use timemachine which works fine as you can see from my previos statements on the topic.

So all homebrew (1.50 via timemachine) seems to be working without issue. I tend not to use many pugins if any. Tomrrow I'll test pikey on my fat, that's a biggy for me.

I've heard cxmb doesn't work but i don't use it. Perhaps over the next day or so they'll be more info on it. Maybe a work around or something.

That's it for now.

Yes, I'm a hige fan of 3.90 m33 and I tried 3.93 GEN - I ended up reverting my fat to 3.90 m33-3 and leaving my slim on 3.93 GEN. So far as I use my PSP - no issues at all to report and I've put them both on 3.95 GEN. I also seemlessly share mem sticks between them, real ones and fake ones.

We have a cool thing called PANDORA. So what if people want to update, the human nature is like that, CURIOUS.

I didn't update, but that's because I don't have a Pandora currently and there aren't many themes that work with 3.95 GEN.

# ... — JaXeRiR 2008-06-01 19:23

You need a thing called Pandora's Battery to get custom firmware...

# ok....but still — gr8tlegend 2008-06-01 19:36

Thats all gr8 I don't doubt that it may work on some peoples psp's but it's not working on mine. all I want is my psone functionality back. everything worked fine until about 2 upgrades ago . like right around 3.90 is when I lost it. idk what happened . maybe I just have crappy psone version's i had to get new ones because my hard drive got wiped. It might have been the pop's loader 2 . right when I was experimenting with that is right when it stopped working . if anyone can help me with this problem I'm listening...

# everything works for me — Bolec 2008-06-01 21:48

so I think you just have a crappy PSP

# meh — exile 2008-06-02 00:15

i just hope they bring out an update very, very soon that make the /psp/game/recovery/eboot work, because unlike most people i dnt have the luxury of a pandora battary.

# Have you tried? — Sinphaltimus 2008-06-02 03:36

Disabling popsloader.prx?

I would wipe your memstick and start again from scratch. Something on your memstick probably isn't right. Also try formatting flash0 via recovery.

# HEX — mohammad7410 2008-06-02 04:56

check it using hex editor, it's not a bricker, but I wish it was, the CFW crashed my slim psp 2 times in the xmb, returning to 3.90M33-3

# hate it — josefool213 2008-06-02 05:43

ever since i got this, my psp is messed up. if turn it off and try to turn it on again it doesnt go on. the green light turns on but nothing happens. i have to connect my charger and take the battery for it to turn on properly.

# NO PROBLEM!!! REALLY — niehaus 2008-06-02 05:48

U Can make a pandora battery from Recovery menu in 395 GEN, the Pandora Memstick can easily be created by using Pandora CMD. ICQ me (50063647) if u got problems^^

Note: Pandora CMD will make a 3.80m33 Pandora memstick, notcapable to UNpandora your battery

So, u'll have to run in wired-power only (w/o the battery) !AFTER u got to 3.80m33!

Pandora-ed battery makes problems after restart

So u need corly's tool(3.80m33 compatible) to UNpandaro your battery to normal mode.

no big thing: the program just alters the serial number of your battery(which, with pandorized serial, makes ur psp able to boot from pandorized memstick, instead of the bricked or semi bricked psp internal memory/system)!

# yeah — niehaus 2008-06-02 06:08

this release is nice but still buggy

try pandora

# I haven't tried that yet — gr8tlegend 2008-06-02 06:41

I haven't tried that yet. believe it or not even though I've been upgrading and downgrading since I got my psp I have never maunally flashed my psp like that. I thought it was a firmware issue because it does the same thing on my dad's fat psp. when I disable the prx the game doesn't work at all . but what am I saying it doesn't work now anyway I will use the flash 0 and report back.

# I KNOW WHAT CRASHED MY PSP — niehaus 2008-06-02 07:41

after pandorizing my psp

and installing 3.90m33

i got bored from it

so i installed 395gen again

after turning vsh recovery menu off my psp wasnt able to boot again

after turning it on again everything works fine!

GOT a PHAT PSP!

# whats the BIIIIGGG thing! — Rabies 2008-06-02 08:15

# I think... — Sinphaltimus 2008-06-02 09:19

...you are replying to me. If you want "real-time" help, you can come over to PSPMod.com - I have the same user name there. There is a live chat room with folks really in to helping. Ignore any jerks, there are some. And I don't mean to plug a website here but yooze guys at QJ must know the site. We practically worship this place. I send folks here all the time. So I hope no one minds at all.

# Under the microscope — gr8tlegend 2008-06-02 10:57

I flashed my dad's phat and launched tomba it worked without pop's on 3.90 however final fantasy 7 did not. it turns out that the copy only had key's for disk 3 and the reason it might be freezing is because I copied that key to disk one and two . maybe i'm not sure how the "keys" work....but still no psone game on my 3.95 gen and pop's doesn't not work it freezes when I select a pop's???

# Pandora — ajnauron 2008-06-02 15:30

Ebay.

# no SNES...... — GentMAB 2008-06-02 19:47

i haven't tried the iso yet, but I know I can't get SNES to work at all, I have a fat psp with this on there and it always freezes completely when I try to load a rom

# #uck u — niehaus 2008-06-03 10:21

#uck u

u r just too dumb

# Smart!! — sunny05550 2008-06-03 22:25

are! ppl,

i don't thing i got any good point to update my PSP,

currently i am on CFW 3.90-3 m33,

and every thing is working gr8...

i thank GEN developer for his contribution, its very impressive, but there is nothing attractive in GEN for me (Let me clear, i am talking abt my view, so play dont take my words ne other way).

i would w8 for 4.0 by DaX...

# recovery menu question — sourav93 2008-06-04 10:07

i hvnt downloaded this yet. thinking of upgrading to this. can u pandorise or unpandorise psp battery in the recovery menu? just needed to know before upgrading. thnks

# Wait for official M33 firmware. Avoid GEN. — eseyo1 2008-06-04 14:28

I agree with many people on this thread. There is nothing really appealing about the new 3.95 GEN firmware. Also, if you update, you lost a lot of functionality of 3.90 M33-3.

I was unable to use:

- CXMB (which is obvious)

- Snes9xtyl (Freezes PSP when loading a game)

In other words, you lose some cool features that you can have with M33 and some homebrew doesn't work.

Don't make the same mistake I made and upgrade just because it's "new." I eventually downgraded using DAX universal unbricker\downg rader.

So I recommend waiting for the next official M33 firmware than going with GEN. Why try to upgrade something that is awesome as is?

# PSP tube — neo28 2008-06-04 16:09

someone who try psptube in this CFW, is it work bcoz myn wont work

# Cxmb - — Sinphaltimus 2008-06-05 01:01

This seems to be an issue for all - the pluggin needs to be rewritten - as for Snes9xtyl, I'm running Snes9xtylme 0.4.2 without any issues. It might be because I am running timemachine and booting in to 1.50 to run it.

The main reason I installed 3.95 GEN is because I I want to access the fill recovery menu and all the new features in it from XMB without the use of a plugin. AND, I want the mount video iso feature (which was missing from 3.93 GEN). I enjoy being one of the first to adopt something new and test it and see how it is. Since I have no known issues, I am sticking with it. However, if I found just one limitation in my personal use I would drop it in a heart beat and go back to 3.90 M33 since I didn't have any known issues with that either. To each their own.

# I need help!?! — biggin15 2008-06-14 03:52

I need extreme help, my psp is a OFW 3.52, i need a downgrader without using the pandora magic!!! If anyone can help me, email me @ biggin_ballin_15@yahoo.com
