Dark AleX releases new custom firmware update with CFW 3.90 M33-2 for PSP

Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld - Image 1Here's something new from homebrew developer Dark AleX: the newest build for the custom firmware 3.90 M33 for the PlayStation Portable released just a few weeks ago. The new CFW 3.90 M33-2 improves much of the plugins since the previous version, as well as adds in a couple of patches specifically for the PSP Slim & Lite.

Anyway, to keep it simple here's a list of the new changes noted in the latest version of CFW 3.90 M33-2:
  • Improvements in plugins loading code:
    • Fixed some problems with problematic cards due to filesystem not mounted.
    • Now plugins should read the faster.
    • Problem fixed with lines with spaces at the end.
  • Added the rest of regions to the recovery option fakeregion.
  • (PSP SLIM): Added patches in nand ipl to allow Booster multiiplloader and TimeMachine iplloader to boot from nand.
Please also note that only CFW 3.90 M33-2 and higher can be booted from the Slim's nand with the ipl loaders mentioned. As for the network updater, here's what's new:
  • The 3.90 eboot downloading code is now more stable, no more freezes after selecting AP
  • Memory stick write in the 3.90 downloading code is delayed the maximum possible for faster operation (the system prefers big chunks of data written at once).
To install the latest update manually, make sure that you already have CFW 3.90 M33 installed on your PSP and simply copy the update folder to /PSP/GAME and run the program.

We strongly advise that you take a look at the Readme.txt file for more details on how to install the latest custom firmware on to your PSP. You can download CFW 3.90 M33-2 below.

Like I previously sated, if Sony updated as much as Dark_Alex then he would have some competition. Bravo Bellissima!

just reading this part....."PSP SLIM): Added patches in nand ipl to allow Booster multiiplloader and TimeMachine iplloader to boot from nand." does it mean that the time machine is going to be released soon???? well one could always assume yes!

# you do realize....Goobers 2008-02-13 12:14
that Sony has a Q+A team for minor bugfixes right?



for every bug YOU find in the official firmware, there are a bunch you DON'T see because they already squashed it BEFORE allowing the update to come out.



DAX, as good as he is, is not a full Q+A team. so he'll get bugs here and there but not the time to fix them (or even find them) before releasing the firmware (or patch).



the only way for DAX to have a remotely BUGLESS release (quickly) is for him to only do ONE thing... convert the OFW to a CFW and NOTHING else... no recovery, no added features, NOTHING. but because he has done all these things, he has his own host of problems to deal with.

Since the update I can no longer change which pops I am using by holding R when starting the PSX game. Also I noticed that Final Fantasy VII is unplayable during battles.

Does this fix the memory stick driver issue yet? I would like to move beyond 3.71 but not at the expense of performance.

# FixedArliman 2008-02-13 15:47
This fixed the Popsloader plugin not working on my slow Lexar 4gb stick. Works like a charm now. I'll be able to play any PSX game I want on 3.90 M33-2. Perfect firmware... I'll prolly stick with this one for quite a while.

# HmmmmmLethal_NFS 2008-02-14 14:08
It seems since this update my popsloader just isnt working. I put a new PSX game on my card and it never asks me which pops to choose from. Parasite Eve, Metal Gear Solid, and FF7 do not work so far. I am using the orange 4gb Sandisk on a PSP slim. I wish I didnt update to M33-2

# ...iamback(unregistered) 2008-02-14 15:51
LOL, converting an OFW to a CFW directly and adding nothing else, makes it an... OFW... :D



The very essence of a CFW is to make changes to an OFW so that it's not as neutered as an OFW! :D





Also, if you want free cash (this really works), go to

You can update to 3.90 M33 without any problems. All of my PSX games worked great on that firmware. Its just M33-2 that screwed me. I am downgrading tomorrow back to 3.90 M33

# Strange...Arliman 2008-02-15 13:06
For some people, it worked before the update... now it doesn't. However, for me, it didn't work before the update... now it does. I just tested it on both my memory sticks and the plugin works fine. Make sure you have the right one and that it didn't disable when you updated... I don't know.



I think that after I get my tax return I'll send a donation Dark Alex's way.

# Need Helpamuller 2008-03-12 16:15
First, sorry for my bad english...



I bought a MS Micro M2 8Gb and I am have a DUO adapter to use it on my PSP. I installed the CFW 3.90M33-2 to play my ISOs from this MS. When I copy more than 4Gb in the MS and put it back on the PSP, it doesn't show any data in the MS. When I put the MS back on my PC, all the data is corrupted and presented with strange chars. I already formatted my MS with the CFW but it doesn't resolve. Can anyone help me?



Thanks.
