Dark AleX's CFW PSP 3.80 M33 delayed due to tech problems *UPDATE 2* |

We've been getting reports that, despite the announcement yesterday from Mathieulh, Dark AleX and the rest of Team M33 will not be able to release CFW PSP 3.80 M33 on time. Everyone's been on their toes for the projected release today, but as it turns out, we might have to wait just a little bit longer.
In a recent post by Ketchup in PSP-Gen, we learn of the explanation given by Mathieulh:
According to our information, some technical problems remain and as us mathieulh points out it so well, the [motto] of the TEAM M33 is "quality above all".
In light, Dark_AleX still seems to have some small adjustments to make and it prefers to take its time before putting on line its Custom Firmware 3.80 M33.
Though it is, it is the wisest decision because nothing presses.
Knowing the talent of Dark_AleX, this delay could be of a few days, or only of a few hours. For the moment, no one does not know it.
More adjustments? As if sneaking in that last minute CFW Network Update feature wasn't cool enough, is DAX cooking up something else for us? Maybe "some small adjustments" here simply mean bug fixes - they did after all had a bit of trouble with the NID translations.
We've been checking out Dark AleX's official site though, and we've been noticing that it's been going on and off today. Their site's been under maintenance for about an hour now (screencapped above). At first we assumed that maybe it's in preparation for the eventual release - maybe this is part of the "technical problems" that Math stated.
For what it's worth, they could be priming their site to take the brunt of all those downloads and traffic once they release CFW 3.80.
Let's all hope now for a smooth release for DAX's CFW 3.80 M33. Just wait patiently guys. As Ketchup posts, who knows? It could be in just a few hours or minutes that the CFW hits us in all its glory.
Thanks to homj, brad, Fadil, and JaXeRiR for the emails!

*Update* Just a minor update for all of you guys keeping tabs on CFW PSP 3.80 M33. Dark AleX's website is now back in business looking a tad bit different than before. Unfortunately, as you can see, the CFW 3.80 is still no where in site, err, sight.
Stay patient... We're still not sure as to how stable the site is now, or if the site going back online might mean a very, very imminent release. Stay tuned!

* Update 1 posted Jan 11, 2008 at 02:29PM
*Update 2* Alright, we know we're a tad late for this, and we're sure some of you have already caught whiff of it already, but we're posting this for posterity's sake - to document what exactly is happening and to keep the others updated.
As commented by johnnyp_777 and FreePlay, we get some updates from Team M33 over IRC. Turns out they called it a night, and we can MAYBE expect the release tomorrow:
We finally spotted the issue but don't expect a release too soon, it will be released done and fixed. Thanks for your undestanding
please people stop releasing fake M33 binaries or I add the word "M33" to the spam filter, thank you for your understanding.
good news we found precisely where the issue is and are currently fixing it, then it will be "testing time"
Again a global will be issued here and at malloc.us whenever the 3.80M33 becomes available, there is no need for refreshing the dark-alex.org page
Ok it wont be tonight folks, we need some decent sleep in here, tomorrow MAYBE.
Congratulations to the team for finally pin-pointing the bugs! Hope things go smoothly from here on out! Remember, no rush needed... Hope you guys also got some much-needed rest!

And hopefully it will only be a few hours, and not a few days, I was so happy to hear the release was to be today, and now I'm kinda bummed.

He does this s*** for free and you dare question it? DAX is obviously pouring his essence into this and you dare be disappointed?
Be grateful that the Scene Gods have not struck you down. You have to accept on fact and one fact alone.
Releases are done the Developer's time. NOT your own. It will be done when they deem it done. So shut it.

not exactly but it's the lowest level of comparison I can think of.

If you say no to that, then you must be insulting DA by saying you really don't care one way or the other about his software, eh?
I'm disappointed in this forum software that won't let you insert blank lines in your message when writing under Firefox2 on Linux.

Also, noticed every other time I hit his site it resolves or is forwarded to a mirror. Maybe that's what they're working on... (ie. http://gamesquare.co.uk/wdax/, http://dax.n3t.net/, etc...)

Take this advice. We don't want to upset him and/or put pressure on him. Don't you guys want future M33 updates, I know I do.
And I recommend just leaving that IRC window open wait for updates on there.
Reply
Leave him alone. I felt sad that it didn't show up today but atleast those guys are more reliable than sony when it comes to releasing a big update(HOME ANYONE). So cut the guy some slack, you all have something that pissed us off at some point in the past, just like I'm doing to you right now.
HOOOORAY FOR D_A!!!!! Thats all I want to SAY!!!

"Ok guys we need to get some decent sleep in here. Wont be tonight. Tomorrow MAYBE."
Okay, it wasn't EXACTLY like that, but very similar. I probably left out a word or two but I got the main point (already quite the channel, forgot to ctrl+c).

Had there been NO announcements about it being "almost here," it would have been only one long wait instead of two or three, and we'd be less disappointed.
Reply
Sure, give me 1 star or less, asshats. Idc, because I've been using OE/M33 ever since 3.03, and I loved it. Still lovin' it, and I'm just speaking the truth, but I get annoyed when innocent people say something like "oh, sucks we have to wait", and get flamed for it. You all know it sucks to wait even longer than originally stated, so dont flame someone else just because they state the truth.

Can anyone fill me in?
Thanks in advance

You won't be able to update to 3.80 M33 via Network update this time, but for the next updates you'll be able to update CFW the same way you update OFW by being connected to a server that DaX ties to the update_plugin.prx. However, I've heard it may just be the small fix updates. like going from 3.80 M33 to 3.80 M33-2, not a whole decimal jump. And I'm sure we'll be able to update M33 like we've done in the past via PC download because not everyone has access to WI-FI.
But that's just what I've heard speculated around here and there. We'll just have to wait and hear from DaX himself when he releases the update with a readme explanning everything. Hope that wasn't too long and I lost you somewhere. Sorry if I did.

"...the same way you update OFW by being connected to a server that DaX ties to the update_plugin.prx" Thats what I assumed. You woudl change something in the recovery menu than run the network update. I do however hope like you said, of being able to manually update. Something about connected to a server sounds like there is some room for error. I'm not the great at using .prx's. I finally got a screenshot plugin to work after 2 weeks of trying. Now I am stuck on being able to use remote play with my 3.7X M33. My PSP worked and I can use it, but my nephews hasn't been able to do the pasr dump correctly. Thats why I am looking forward to 3.80 M33....being able to use remote play without a problem. Plus being able to use internet radio :->
Thanks again for the insightful and quick response. Its much appreciated given the immaturity on this website...

i havent spent a penny on his equipment and firmware, he busts his a** on this all the time!!!!!
and he gives it all away?!
it is rare to find a person that makes hard stuff and gives it away, even though he probably wasts money on it.
DaX is the best, no other PSP firmware maker is better, HellDashX sucks with 3.72 hx-1, copying Dax's recovery menu's!
so F****** U!

Side note, can you actually chat through the IRC link on dark-alex.org? Or just view his -Global- messages? Would be night to chat it up with some of those guys, but not sure how to go about it. Guess I'll just have to watch for now. Except now I'm going to bed.

-Go to dark-alex.org/irc
-It should open a java script that you click run on (assuming you have java)
-Then it logs you in with a random number nickname which you can change in the bottom right corner.
-Basically like chat rooms. Click channels up top to see them, then double click a channel.
-When a -GLOBAL- messege comes up (the important ones) it should appear in whatever room you are in and/or on the info page that you first see when logged in.
Hope that somewhat clarifies it. I just starting using it yesterday myself. With all the hype going on, it just seems better to keep that open while on the internet and check in for globals or to what others are saying/hearing.
Later, jonnyp_777
