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

Dark_AleX website is down - Image 1



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!

DaX, I'm a bit disappointed, but like stated above:



"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?"



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.

It's better that it be perfect than it somehow ending up breaking PSPs, Keep up the great work Dark Alex!

Whenever he gets around to releasing it is just fine by me. It's not as though we need it to play a game or something.

"it prefers to take its time before putting on line its Custom Firmware 3.80 M33"



makes me think "It puts the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again"





anyway, any wait will be worth it. the NIDs resolver is cool enough, but Network update as well? :thumbsup:

Mathieulh is completely right. Quality is more important than speed, although i wouldn't care if I have to install some bugfixes later. I can wait longer as long it WILL released.

how do you intsall this and can u install it if u aready have 3.80 on your psp

by urherenow - 2008-01-11 08:04
» you need pandora

memstick and battery and downgrade to 3.71 m33-4 be fore you'll be able to install the 3.80CFW. Or if it can be run via Pandora, you'll still need a battery and properly formatted memstick to install it.

by vitz3 - 2008-01-11 08:04
» Saged.

Disappointed? How ungrateful you are.



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.

by urherenow - 2008-01-11 08:09
» how complex of an answer do you want?

the easiest comparison is like a postal code (zip code). When you write a program for 1.xx firmware and you want your program to get raw access to the UMD drive using the instruction located at 0xXXXXXXXX, in firmware 3.7x the same instruction is actually located at 0xYYYYYYYY



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

by redbrick - 2008-01-11 08:21

by SCLakitu - 2008-01-11 08:29
» Good.

I'd rather wait for a clean firmware than get a buggy one today.

by cory1492 - 2008-01-11 08:31
» ...

Actually, a bit more accurate would be to say the function tag in the library has changed rather than the actual location. So when it tries to find where the code is in memory to link it to the running code, the function that was called 0x12345678 in the previous version is now called 0x7890ABCD (regardless of where it is at.)

Guys, I didn't mean it like that, I appreciate DaX's work, and yes the long wait would mean for a cleaner running CFW. No need to get so defensive, it's not like I personally insulted him.

looks like you want a buggy custom firmware... I but you still be disappointed of it and should of wait longer.

» Awesome

Here I sit on the edge of my chair with my PSP all warmed up n ready... heh



Who cares how long it takes. It's the thrill of the anticipation that keeps me wild with excitement.



Kinda like foreplay...... do it long enough and it drives you nutzo ....



So if it comes out after the weekend.... oh well.... it will just help me to have one hell of a nutty weekend..... Where the hell is my wife? lol

by FiremanSam - 2008-01-11 08:53
» Just a thought

I wonder how long before Sony offers Dark Alex a job? Whether he would take it is another thing.

by greymist04 - 2008-01-11 08:53
» Jeez

My god people, cut me some slack, look I do want a non-buggy CFW. I love all M33 releases, I appreciate DaX's work. Yet you guys are viciously attacking me from saying "I'm disappointed" I didn't say I hate DaX because he's delaying the CFW.

seems like server problems and/or foul play

by bloody0986 - 2008-01-11 10:38
» Yeah

It COULD be server problems so he switched his domain and wanted a new website name so he just wrote dax.st. since most people say "DaX" instead of the whole thing, "Dark_Alex".

by zzabbas - 2008-01-11 10:39

(oh and before I get flamed, I know DAX isn't doing this for money... but it does always help!)



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...)

» his first statement

his first statement about being disappointed is not directed at Dark_Alex but to himself. He's all excited only to have a bug needing to be fixed. It's not like he's saying, DA I'm disappointed in YOU, no he just wanted it like everyone else. It's just that his choice of words might not be entirely appropriate in this context. You are the ones "putting mmeaning" that is misconstrued into his statement. He's just sad it didn't come out today. They are Homonyms: Disappointed and Sad are.

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.

» I'm not sure why you're getting attacked

Look, we're ALL grateful, but after reading two news updates saying that it's "almost here" and then reading that it's not, you're going to have to be disappointed at least a little bit.



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.

by Naroon Kasui - 2008-01-11 15:40
» all of you who bashed greymist04..

Shut the hell up. Yeah, wow, it's 3.80 m33. Big deal. It'll be released when DAX and the rest want it to, so stop acting like it's some big holy thing that you'll go to hell for if someone expresses their slight disappointment for.



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.

by Bildo - 2008-01-11 17:13
» Can someone explain...

when this is released, how exactly does this use the network update feature? I've never used it to update my PSP before, so I've never actually seen this done before. And I haven't read exactly how this is done.



Can anyone fill me in?



Thanks in advance

by jonnyp_777 - 2008-01-11 17:26
» Network Update....

...I've never used it either, but I've read (on one of these seemingly endless m33 articles) that, for OFW anyway, you just go to the network update, it downloads the update to the ms0:/psp/game folder, then you update like normal.



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.

by Bildo - 2008-01-11 17:37
» thank you

Thanks jonnyp...that actually made it a lot clearer.



"...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...

.....and no problem. I'll probably just do it the old fashioned way myself, seeing how it's not that difficult, but I might try the Network way. Oh yea, and like akira said, the OFW update eboot file should be in PSP/GAME/UPDATE, not just game. But the Network Update might add that folder if it's not already there. Not sure what the M33 folder within GAME will be called, maybe UPDATE, 380M33, or something else, but you get the picture.

I think there are more complex programs or ways off doing it, but this is all I did:



-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.

Then he said he was going to sleep. Nothing as far as progress or what's going on specifically though. Absolutely nothing to front page and 'cause more drama.
