*UPDATE* Custom Firmware 3.51 M33-4, M33-5 now available |
Ó
QJ.NET PSP Development Forum mainstay blackbird 0001 has just informed us that Team M33 has come up with a new update for its custom firmware, bringing it up to 3.51 M33-4. Take note that this is different from the recent CFW addon provided by coder Test30.Anyway, what we have here is a cumulative update, meaning previous improvements such as the WLAN fix and the no UMD function have been included again alongside new additions. Also, take note that this release is now complete with plugin options for 1.5 kernel homebrew. Anyway, here's the changelog:
- Bugfix for the released yesterday no-umd. This should fix the exit to the XMB with error 80020001 that happened to some people, or reduce its appearance.
- Added plugins options for homebrew that use 1.50 kernel. The file to be used for it, is ms0:/seplugins/game150.txt.
- There is other bugfix, but we don't know if it will make much difference in compatibility.
- In order to make compatibility tests, please remember that your ISO shouldn't be more than 54 chars.

*UPDATE* (Original article posted Jul 18, 2007 at 11:15AM)
McDanny just emailed us of a quick update for M33-4 custom firmware by Team M33. In a matter of hours, the previous version has now been bumped up to M33-5 with a tiny bug fix. Tiny as it might be, its effects are substantially big. To quote his email (it's also what's written on the Readme file, by the way):
Greetings!
This update (yet another) fixes two important bugs in the no-UMD mode. The bugs affected SOCOM 2, Virtual Tennis 3 and probably many more games.

Comments [refresh]
I admire your work, and your CF is good.
But perhaps you should have waited to release it, AFTER it was fully/ closer to 100% working.
Instead of releasing so many updates. you could have released one firmware that was great as is.
anywho, keep up the good work
sweet :)
I agree with Bobtentpeg. I man I don't use this firmware because personally I'm waiting for that "mystery" team's. But I mean you released a patch for your FW yestarday, and now you're releasing a patch, for the patch.
I don't know, maybe you were in to much of a rush to be the first ones to create a CFW.
Don't get me wrong though no matter what good work.
Why keep updating this, its just getting to become a chore to update. especially when the 3.40 OE-A that DAX made is almost bug free and has almost all the features....
Just seems pointless as of now
stop its up to them when they release it not you and no one gives a f**k what you think!!!!!!
Damn this is a free update to a great piece of work - you should just upgrade to 3.51 and go and buy a game you whining maggots!
Greta update thanks!
hmmmm i was very interested there for a second!! to bad there is none because im very lonely :-(
thank you ever soo much
ya but you wont be saying that when God of War: Chains of Olympus comes out and you need a higher firmware to play it..
be gratfull some one is carrying on form ware D_A left. So what if you need to update every now and again i would rarther update than have bugs.
i agree
How am I fulll of *****, plently of people agree, they should have mae it more complete when they released it.
BTW, I;m pretty sure more people give a ***** about what i say then they do about what you say
By the time that GOW comes out there were be something better than this, and I also dont play many UMD games so why the hell do I care?
This gives better NoUMD Support. I don't personally use the feature, but it is a new feature that they improved themselves.
are the freezing issues worked out in this update? and also, whats the location of the folder you put legally backed up ps1 games into? because I only have been using 3.03 OE-C
sorry you are and ive seen your video on psphacking101 and you sound ever so fat lol!!!
its up to them when they release remember you get this stuff for free!!!
I would wait for Becus25 firmware. he's the trustiest coder I know since Humma Kavula. I deliberately put off DAX from my list as I still don't believe to what he did. Honestly, I will never forgive him.
if any1 needs help step by step or msn talk to us or visit us at pspkings.com
I;m not suggesting its up to me, all I;m doing is suggesting that maybe they should have completed more of thier firmware before relasing.
and technically it isnt "free" b/c i have to pay to get the interent to download it, pay to get a PSP, pay to get a memory card, and what ever else i needed to pay for so i could get this "free" firmware.
Also, I use m33, and I;m fine with the updates.
so kindly remove your head from up your @5S.
oo and I;m 5 foot 11 and only 185 pounds so I'm not fat
its harder to find bugs than to fix them. having some 1000s of users playing with it will result in bugs beeing found way sooner than if 1-2 people have a go at it.
its better they spend time improving and fixing firmware and let others find the bugs, as annoying as that may sound for you. that way things are improving conssiderably faster.
I would've been on 3.51 M33 right now, but when I was, I couldn't seem to run PSX games. Everytime I tried to run one, I would just see my waves in my XMB and the game would not run. So unless anyone can help me with this crap, I'm gonna stay on 3.40 OE-A until a different Custom Firmware arises.
Thanks you^^, you had an intelligent post, and I see where your coming from. But there the errors their fixing arent obscure ones really, their the simpler ones that are caused b/c they are linked to readily available options
F**k you i dont have my head in my arse!!!
"oo and I;m 5 foot 11 and only 185 pounds so I'm not fat" LMFAO awwwww bless well you keep
believing that if you want....
what is the slim-fast not working?? is that why your cranky??
Hey, i think it's good that they keep updating it i've noticed also that it wasn't 100% but with this patches they are gonna make it a 100% so why is everybody complaining about the patches? Thnx 2 them we've now 3.51 CFW:D and they are everything doing what's possible te make it better:)
Just to clarify, do I just copy the M33-4 Over to games and run it and nothing else? Also I am in process of doing the M33 351 OE update and was wondering can I delete both of the directories over after it has updated?
Thanks
i think b@stard is right, allthough he is overreacting a little zomg. i rather like to have the 3.51 cfw a few days/weeks/months sooner than having to wait for the *perfect* release
as 3.40OE-A, if not better. I've been using it from the first day it was released and I've run into no problems whatsoever....how about you actually try it before making comments on it? DA isn't the only person who can make CFW, and its funny that after all of this time that DA made his OE firmwares, his releases become useless and obsolete after just a few weeks ;)
on M33, maybe you're doing something wrong or need to re-compile your game?
much better in that the M33 Driver for No-UMD doesnt show that error message and return to the xmb but the game itself still doesnt play completely. Tested compressed cso of yu-gi-oh gx tag force with fake region and free region disabled. game works fine until you try to start the duel, then memory card reader keeps flashing constantly and game freezes.
its gettin better! but not quite their yet (love to see this work!)
This new update GREATLY INCREASED NO-UMD COMPATIBILITY.
Every single game that did not work previously with no umd inserted, now WORKS!
- Metal Gear Acid 2 - WORKS
- Yugi-Oh - WORKS
- Traxxpad - WORKS
- Monster Hunter 2 - WORKS
Still testing others. These are the main games i play.
3.03 OE-C is still better and the best
THATS *****ING TRUE!
NO PROBLEM HERE TOO.
(TA82, CUSTOM XMB [BASED ON DECRYPTED 3.51 RCOS) )
all people do is complain why can't u just thank team m33 for makin a patch that can make ur damn psp perform better besides if it hasn't been for them all of u would be whinning (we wan't a new cfw ...sob...) so just be grateful
THINK BEFORE YOU RELEASE *****TARDS

For not russian users - specially for QJ, MaxConsole and PSPGen admins: We do not appreciate leeching files, and you may put them on webservers instead of using our links on the only condition that you add our new paypal link which is on http://m-33.narod.ru/. Otherwise relink files to our website. Sorry, but we need a new PSP for tests, and we think it is just to do this files against paypal link exchange. Thank you.
I think people can put out whatever software they want when the frick they want. Dont like it? Dont use it. THINK BEFOEW YOU POST *****TARD.
Haha.... I'm still on DAX's 3.03 OE-C.
when they gonna release an update which makes my crash bandicoot official download off the plastation store work!?
usually u gotta stick ur kernal to 3.51 on m33 but my psx games aren't working on this either
You'll be waiting a long time.
Becus doesn't yet have the skills to make something like this on his own.
What do you mean when you say 3.40oea has "almost all the features." What is it missing? Is there something I haven't noticed? Not at all flaming, just never noticed or pondered the thought that something was out of place.
My god, why the hell does this remind me of Microsoft Windows?
bobsponge,
first, i didn't heard you crying so much when DAX made his updates and fixes (a, a2, etc). sure there are bugs. even sony official firmware got them. it's up to you to install a CF and test it. M33 group cant test all the games and homebrew.
and IT IS free. you don't pay a damn nickel for this download. it's you problem that you bought a psp. i got mine as a gift + memory card, so it is free for me.
and for the M33 group:
if you read this, keep up with the great work.
First off, I did actually ask, why he didnt he make it right the first time.
And its very irresponsible to say, its up to YOU to test it, no it not, its up to the makers to test it, if its not safe oe if it doesnt work they shouldnt have released it
m33-5 is allready out. why has qj not mentioned it?
Because they're slow. And since they hardly ever give credit to people who report news to them, less people bother now.
they r updating noumd compatibility.
if u dont like/need it, dont update, stay@ m33.
I am running m33. Runs ok.. few compatibility issues. Is it possible to downgrade? Meaning can I go back to 1.5 then back up to say 3.03 OE?
The answer to that is easy, if you just use some basic logic.
Does m33 have 1.50 kernel access?
Does the 3.03 OE installer run with 1.50 kernel access?
Does the 3.03 OE installer write the boot strap, and format flash0?
yes, yes, and yes.
There's no need to even go back to 1.5 first
thanks a lot !
Just installed lated m33-5. Alot more ISO/CSO work...
Nice Work
I'm still holding off for either their next full release or the pack10 release.

What's missing is LocationFree Player.
I'm sure most of you don't use it but I do.
I use 3.03OE-A2 because it works here.
Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/2z4h you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.
Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,
I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

yeah i saw it on their site so u might want to change
"McDanny from Team M33" because im not i just saw it and though of putting it up here so if u want change it or u can leave it like that i dont mind
Could you repeat that in the form of a legible statement?
"Could you repeat that in the form of a legible statement?"
like what?
gosh u ppl just flame each other over and over. Wouldnt it be better if you guys just say "awesome update!"? lol
jeez dont have a cow man lol
"Could you repeat that in the form of a legible statement?"
like what?
is still now dax cfw
I have 3.51 m33 and the wifi patch, everything works fine for me for now.
its not Dax firmware, but it is current, is it not?
Lots of updates, I think they are in "competition mode" now...
and flaming is useless. especially fat jokes. I think those went out of style about 10 yrs ago. if you MUST flame someone, at least try to be creative. i'm the same height/weight as that other guy, and i am smokin hot. so psh find a better burn than "you're fat," thats so lame. better yet just get real. we're talking about PSP here, not how fat we are/aren't.
this is your daily reality check.
For those whinnie turds who failed to understand how great this M33 cf & its updates perform, stfu ! Only those turds who though this cf gave prob 2 psx games & a lot of bugs in it r all BS. This new cf has is a lot more stable & more complex than u think u hv in previous cf like 3.40oe. those who only truely know the depth of this new cf will greatly cherish it.
very commonly, these turds claimed they hv bugs after accepting M33 r afterall morons. Being the fact that none of the previous cfs were bug free. 1 solid reason is Sony keeps on implementing tighter security features on every new official fw which make reverse engineering harder to accomplish.
all ms. whinnie who complaint about M33 shld shut up! they work very hard & fast round the clock while some of u still sleeping...& for what? it's free afterall.
u hv the old option to stick yr head back to previous cf that u think it's more stable but let me tell u, next time dun cry when u can't play FF7 crisis core ! TURDS !
I HAVE THE 3.51 M33-5 AND ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT AUTHENTIC DAX FIRMWARE. ITS NICE TO KNOW THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE OUT THERE NICE ENOUGH TO MAKE CFW FOR ALL OF US WHO LIKE TO GET THE MOST OUT OF OUR PSPS. IF U HAVEN'T UPGRADED TO THE IEA M33. IT'S WELL WORTH IT. 2 RECOVERYS IS GREAT FOR YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE STRAIGHT BRICKERS. SHOUT OUT TO M33 FROM THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO DO APPRECIATE THE WORK LIKE ME.
1 example is the opening_plugin. sony has change the soundboot format. the header in opening_plugin.prx has been edited to wav. the soundboot location of the VAG files in the plugin has been changed. So some would complain that this m33 cfw can't customise coldboot sound, dun target m33. it's sony who change it. not them. for those who can't boot psx game who previously could is bcoz they probably use the old opening_plugin in 3.51 cf. it's not compatible. customise it in decryted 3.51 opening plugin, then u'll know they is no problem.
another thing is the sysconf_plugin. an old sysconf from previous cfw would give problem to 3.51 m44 xmb system configuration + 1 would think that they is something wrong with m33 installer. wrong! it's also bcoz of sony changed it.
it's kinda like dax fw. m33 reversed his code to build a new 1. most of the fuction such in rec mode + pops loader r from alex's code. they just made it more pleasant + better. it's a great achivement. i believe alex would smile too : )
As a journalist and regular reader of this site i'm embarrassed and ashamed at the ridiculous childish flaming and name calling in this thread. It's eclipsed only by the ungrateful attitude displayed by Bobtentpeg and people like him, who believe that they are personally owed a level of customer service from people who make hacked products.
in the update they gave a credit to someone called "McDanny". Actually this person is not a member of M33. M33 will never bother to send any emails. They release their updates at pspx.ru/forum and only after that lame leechers post news on their sites.
My NFS Most Wanted is now working in NO-UMD mode.
That's all i wanted for now!!!
Thanks guys
what does this cfw has that 3.4 oe doesn't?
game higher than 3.40 not playable in 3.40oe coming soon ;)
better better better no-umd compat.
im 5 '9 and i weight 135 lol
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA
love the fact that someone is keeping up the good work. can't seem to get metal slug 6 (only 6) to worl. any help will be greatly apreciated.
can you customize the xmb comepletely like in 3.4 oe
I've used this firmware since it was first released and I've had no problems at all, all my backups work, all my PS1 games work, not had any problems, I suggest the people who are having problems to go back and look at what they have done wrong, because this is fine as it is.
One thing that's not really clear, I think.
Is this last patch M33-5 containing all the earlier patches like the one with the WiFi patch etc?
Do I have to run them all and also in correct order to make it work?
I mean, is there a bricking risk just to go directly for this last patch or not?
This should be clearly stated I think.
I'm still on 3-40oe-a, and I'm just waiting until I see that this firmware appears to be reliable enough.
Even better, wait for the next full update of it, so that I get everything in one install.
BTW, I'm glad that the scene continues and that there are more coders out there who knows how to create custom firmwares.
Keep it up guys!
There is no fscking way I'm ever going to use a custom firmware that needs a bloody update every other day. I applaud the developers for creating a CFW, but seriously. A patch every other day? No thanks. I won't use any piece of software that has that many inherent problems.
a lot of people think the same way about windows.....
In fact, I wasnt flaming them. Infact i was glad they were making a new custom firmware. All i was saying is they could have made it more complete. For a journalist, you got your facts wrong, o wait, thats why, journalists couldnt get their facts right if their life depended on it
Thanks!!!
Fark you haters that keep complaining. At least they are dedicated enough to keep updating. Use your own CFW next time.
Oh wait, you haven't made one.
I'm looking forward to 3.60 M33!
Implement DIVX/XVID playback - PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
http://raretitlez.50webs.com
The only feature that this one has over 3.40 OE-A is more No-UMD support and I don't use UMDs that much. Also I have tried this out and it freezes every other waking moment, even with the updates...
yes u can unistall it by using recovery which is what i did when i went back to 3.40 oe-a
yah i agree juz hush it and let them do their thing.
can you have the original 3.51 m33 fw and update to this version, or do you first have to dl the other updates(wlanfix ,...) to install this one? didn't say in the manual, post or the comments...
They can release it whenever they want plus who the heck doesn't enjoy downloading new updates that have to do with the CF, it's much more fun than downloading it all at once and checking back every day for the next cf to come out, plus i love cf i hope some will be able to hack the new psp, !!!CF Rules!!! and !!!M33 Rules!!!
Can you simply upgrade from the base 3.51 M33 or do you also have to install update M33-4 before you can update to M33-5?
well i heard your going to need an updater to update that new update m33 team came out with and your going to needa do that everyday for a week until they make a new updater wich will be a more time consuming process with tons more updates. and once your done updating your going to needa patch that updater with the 500th patch out however it can only be ran on the latest updated m33 FW . And when your done updating you can have your 3 seconds of fun playing illegally downloaded games =) and then you update again.(sarcasm)
seriously don't release something unless you really think there isn't any major or minor problems .the only reason you keep updating is cuz your noobs who download illegal games, yet say your doing it for homebrew reasons.and go ahead and flame me little 10 year old psp fanboy bi***** who want everyone to do all this CFW for them.
Awww you guys are all *****ing stupid. Just shut the ***** up!!!
All you can do is just *****ing complaining about stuffs. If you don't *****ing like it why don't you do it? lets see if you guys have the brain to create a perfect custom FW. I bet none of you guys can *****ing do it.
All you do is just download and flash the *****ing thing, and now you guys are complaining??? Shame on you *****ers!!!
I tried doing the M33. On my machine specifically it didnt work. Goes to 1.5 then after it finishes and creates the 3.51 update, when I run it it says : PSR incorrect and quits.
The PSR file it creates is 17mb, I am told it's supposed to be double that, anyone know what this means?
Tried it many times. Worked on some other PSPs not mine.

If you ever programmed anything, especially a project you're going to constantly want to add features to, you'd realize how *****ing retarded you are right now.
my willy smells like poo
and when i try to update to 5 or 6 it says curropt data so i cant update helpp.
my psp is still not working with the wlan switch even though i did both updates/ and even tried to upgrade to custom firmware 3.52 M33 so does any1 know what's up?
