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!

# Sad, too sad — greymist04 2008-01-11 07:22

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.

# Good to know — SaintHobson 2008-01-11 07:24

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

# No rush. — .A.J. 2008-01-11 07:26

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.

# Darn — CandieC 2008-01-11 07:29

well we all know it will be well worth the wait, im just getting anxious i want to connect my psp to my ps3 again!

Also if anyone wants to add me on:

PS3 : LeonsDaDa

Xbox 360: Leons DaDa

Wii: 2535 2796 1414 8240

just pm me your wii code and ill add you

# keep waiting — rockddr 2008-01-11 07:31

i think the site is down is due to the brunt of accesses in a short time

# LOL — urherenow 2008-01-11 07:31

"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:

# ..... — Silver-Tiger 2008-01-11 07:42

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.

# better late than never — psp_noob 2008-01-11 07:49

thanks for the update...

i'm totally patient for good quality, take your time fellas

# Excited — Yoloni 2008-01-11 07:55

I am so excited. It's better to have the CFW perfect or people will be complaining. What is the NID anyway? I never got it.

# just wondering — igotdez 2008-01-11 07:57

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

# you need pandora — urherenow 2008-01-11 08:04

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.

# Saged. — vitz3 2008-01-11 08:04

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.

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

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.

# ...SO dissappointed... — redbrick 2008-01-11 08:21

...just kidding. Really take all the time you need guys. we're in no rush. I love M33 releases.... I'm glad you guys and Hellcat are doing these things....

Thanks.

# Yeah... Ungrateful — MahSixFo 2008-01-11 08:28

Grey Would U Prefer He Releases It Now Full Of Bugs? No, Exactly, Just Shut Up And Wait

# Good. — SCLakitu 2008-01-11 08:29

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

# ... — 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.)

# patiently awaiting 3.80 M33 — ZeroSama 2008-01-11 08:37

on one hand i am a lil disappointed.. ;)

on the other ide rather see this baby run flawlessly

take your time guys no rush :)

# Sweet Deal — scottiedizzle 2008-01-11 08:46

Oh well. You guys take your time. I've been wanting to try out the remote play on my ps3 but its nothing i cant wait another day for. Keep up the good work. :-)

# Sorry — greymist04 2008-01-11 08:46

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.

# Re: greymist04 — Binary 2008-01-11 08:48

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

# Awesome — Stiletto 2008-01-11 08:50

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

# Just a thought — FiremanSam 2008-01-11 08:53

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

# Jeez — greymist04 2008-01-11 08:53

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.

# hhhmmm — Stiletto 2008-01-11 08:55

well i'd take it just to get the source code..

..lol

# :) — dodswm 2008-01-11 08:56

copy the premo_plugin.prx from 3.72 (dump it encrypted, without sigcheck) and remote play works on 3.71M33

# Excellent! — Silverback 2008-01-11 09:05

I love how they refer to Dark_Alex as 'it' like he's a celestial body in space! Ha! Ha!

What are writers at QJ doing? Composing the PSP bible?!

Anyway, keep up the good work everyone!

# Re — Binary 2008-01-11 09:10

So whats the first sentence mean?

ahuh riiight

# Can't wait — Dougie321 2008-01-11 09:15

Its better for him to get it perfect than release it early with a few problems. so just sit tight and wait and stop winging

# Dark Alex Site Up .. — Budsky 2008-01-11 09:16

but still no 3.80 M33 yet .... DA is god ... \0/

# Subject:Altair did your dad — Spawnx777x 2008-01-11 09:17

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

I had to sign up to this site, just to tell you how retarded what you just said is

# Jeez louise — 3vi1 2008-01-11 09:17

Lay off greymist, guys. I'll guarantee you were all "disappointed" that the softwares not out AND bug-free today too.

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.

# In Other News... — Silverback 2008-01-11 09:20

# Site just went down again — zzabbas 2008-01-11 09:43

Site just went down again... this time with no word on issue

# blocked — pspslim2000 2008-01-11 09:45

sony blocked his website....

# down again — rockddr 2008-01-11 09:47

now the server is down again, completely...

it might be blocked...:(

# Doubt it, even if true — zzabbas 2008-01-11 09:47

that wouldnt stop him from emailing the release, like he did for the past year before he revealed he is indeed m33 and made this site

# kidnap — pspslim2000 2008-01-11 09:51

or has been kidnap by sony?

# @Spawnx777x — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 09:56

I've been meaning to sign up anyways, but thought now would be a good oppurtunity because someone obviously doesn't watch Family Guy, or else he would get that joke.

Anyways, can't wait for a clean and awesome 3.80 M33. Thanks Dark_AleX.

# fyi — spiderfan00 2008-01-11 09:57

if you want to know the exact instant 3.80m33 comes out, then join the irc on his site. im watching it constantly. connect your irc to:

irc.dark-alex.org #sceners-en

hope all of you people who are itching for it follow my advice

# \0/\0/ — FreePlay 2008-01-11 10:00

# hey — PSPZorZ 2008-01-11 10:00

hey guys, don't take what greymist said wrong. He doesn't mean he's disappointed with DAX or anything. He means he's disappointed that it's not released yet, but I'm sure he's grateful for everything DAX has done already, he's just anxious like a lot of other people.

# wheww...! — Metal Jody 2008-01-11 10:08

I'm fu*ging grounded from my PSP and if CFW 3.80 came out in a few hours, bad things would happen to my guardians.......baaaad thinnnnngs. Lol

GODdormm it!

# Take your time DaX — bloody0986 2008-01-11 10:08

Take as long as you want. We are all waiting patiently. : )

# oh stop it — mohaas05 2008-01-11 10:08

sony doesnt have the right to just block his site. they would need to obtain a cease and desist order first and then give Dax head notice. And kidnap!?...Youve been watching too many movies.

# hey — usernameforever 2008-01-11 10:11

hey, i've been watching his site for awhile, i saw it when he first put it back up, but now, it's down again.... so correct it again

# :( — rockddr 2008-01-11 10:11

unfortunately the irc is down too...

# up again for the time being — zzabbas 2008-01-11 10:20

up again... i think its all these ppl accessing it constantly that brings it down...

Can you blame us tho... haha

# back — Zeth_Ethereal 2008-01-11 10:21

His website is back up

no new updates :(

now once it loads, look at ur URL bar....it says .st instead of .org...... waz up?

# ..... — clouducla 2008-01-11 10:31

ya...very odd...new look and url....http://www.dax.st/......?whats going on?

# What .st is — bloody0986 2008-01-11 10:32

.st is a country code top-level domain. It is a general use domain. He probably switched domains.

# tru — zzabbas 2008-01-11 10:34

doesnt even say dark-alex... it appears as

http://www.dax.st/

seems like server problems and/or foul play

# Yeah — bloody0986 2008-01-11 10:38

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".

# .st — zzabbas 2008-01-11 10:39

São Tomé and Príncipe is the country listing for domains of .st

dis means he moved it willingly.... or unwillingly bringing his domain away from easily traceable domain space

# hmmmm — usernameforever 2008-01-11 10:47

well at least it redirects us

# what a pity — ahmao 2008-01-11 10:49

I am a little bit disappointed to hear this message.

# ... — mohaas05 2008-01-11 10:51

well according to dark-alex.org these are temporary mirrors. probably to prepare for a rush of people.

# Don't be. — SCLakitu 2008-01-11 10:54

He's fixing bugs that may bug you if he released them now. Waiting a day or two to fix them is a good thing.

# funny — your_fire 2008-01-11 10:55

I just kicked a mere $25 to help out in my small way. If we all keep it up then I'm sure DAX will too! (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...)

# thats cool — Ganon007 2008-01-11 11:41

You can use the battery again or put the 1.50 eboot in /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP then run it from recovery menu.

I think it was that way.

# DA's site changed again ... — Budsky 2008-01-11 13:30

The site has changed to http://eevee.facewan.com/wdax/ now ...

Strange ... around around we go ... lol

# yeah — Zeth_Ethereal 2008-01-11 13:31

dont trust anything ppl are uploading! only trust DAX or QJ lol

# ... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 13:34

I'll second that.

# overloading — MozyMan 2008-01-11 13:39

i think too many people keep refreshing over at his site, it says now that his site is overloaded, and then your sent to a mirror.

people, stop going to his site or we'll never get it!!!

# :p — rockddr 2008-01-11 13:43

it is random redirection buddy

# IRC — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 13:49

[17:48] -Global- We finally spotted the issue but don't expect a release too soon, it will be released done and fixed. Thanks for your undestanding

# Quite right — FreePlay 2008-01-11 13:51

and people fell for it like suckers :)

# Maybe, just maybe? — Justingraziano 2008-01-11 13:51

Maybe now you'll finally be banned FreePlay? For posting a fiake firmware.

# It's Gone — DominusNex 2008-01-11 13:58

It was a fake anyways. Probably another of FreePlay's.

# Thanx — DominusNex 2008-01-11 14:00

For the 'actual' update info.

# No problem, here's another IRC — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 14:04

[17:54] -Global- please people stop releasing fake M33 binaries or I add the word "M33" to the spam filter, thank you for your understanding.

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.

# his first statement — soopergooman 2008-01-11 14:11

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.

HOOOORAY FOR D_A!!!!! Thats all I want to SAY!!!

# What's wrong, Justin? — FreePlay 2008-01-11 14:39

Pissed off that we banned you from the forums for posting gay porn and spam?

# Updates — FreePlay 2008-01-11 14:44

[21:41] -Global- good news we found precisely where the issue is and are currently fixing it, then it will be "testing time"

[21:43] -Global- 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

I'll take what they give me.

# thx — rockddr 2008-01-11 15:03

good job, man!

thx for sync :)

# Not tonight. — ssjnaruto 2008-01-11 15:15

It's already been said in the IRC channel it won't be tonight. Exact quote:

"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).

# main page? — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 15:15

Could someone put these latest IRC updates on the main pspupdates page. I think it this article at least should be updated, but I'm not sure how to go about it or who to tell. Thanks.

# Dang.. — ssjnaruto 2008-01-11 15:18

jonnyp_777 beat me to it. Haha, and he got the exact quote.

# don't worry... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 15:20

FreePlay beat me to one too, haha. That IRC seems to be the best place to check in at though. Someone main page these updates, please. Thank you.

# I'm not sure why you're getting attacked — billylee8 2008-01-11 15:34

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.

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

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.

# Can someone explain... — Bildo 2008-01-11 17:13

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

-Bildo-

# .st — Z3R0mod 2008-01-11 17:24

they are all mirror sites a site created containing all the same info he prob has his own server to be able to do this. but yeah its a mirror site. +)

# Network Update.... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 17:26

...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.

# thank you — Bildo 2008-01-11 17:37

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...

ur a F****** a** hole! he does this for free!

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!

# not that hard lol — akira 2008-01-11 17:58

just hook up your psp with your usb cord then something might pop up saying "removable disk e or g or f....ever1's is diffrent...anyways...go to that then at the bootom of the little window, got to "open folder". then from there, go to psp then got game, then make a folder called "UPDATE"(all in caps)...then...wen the 3.80 m33 comes, download it and save it to your update folder........now!...unhook your usb cord, then go to game mem stick....not saved data...it should say.."update to verion 3.80 m33" and just press "x" and go from there........your very welcome

it is kinda good that the update was not released today because if it is rushed it could end up being useless and it would most probably have a hell lotta bugs and problems.

# You're welcome..... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 22:25

.....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.

# IRC — jonnyp_777 2008-01-11 22:30

There are some updates I posted on the previous comments page towards the bottom. DaX's day pretty much ending with finding where the problem and was gonna test it again, but needed to call it a night, and who could blame him? The man is workin' hard.

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.

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.

Later, jonnyp_777

the only globals I saw today were about a quick bot attack on one of the IRCs, but that's it. And alek, which I think is DaX, was just saying take most stuff is just rumors, and that it still doesn't have a set release date, so if you hear of one, it's probably not true. 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.

I dont bother on waiting on the 3.80 CFW. It doesnt bothers me at all. In fact, its better to let him take his time because if he just let go of hte 3.80 CFW yesterday or the day before yesterday, it wouldn't be good at all. But i would say to him, to take his time on building the new CFW.
