PSP XMB - Image 1

We've just been alerted that Dark AleX will soon be releasing CFW PSP 3.80 M33-5 soon. Not much details have been given as to what this fifth version of the original M33-5 CFW might have, but for now, we go by the global message sent in through Dark AleX's IRC channel:

-Global- ahem.... your attention please, M33-5 soon to ve released over the network update (I am going to global whenever it is so avoid refreshing the website or the network update feature every minutes) Thanks for your understanding

Again, please be advised that, to respect the developer's wishes, we shouldn't bombard nor pressure them in releasing the CFW in a rush.

Many thanks to Buttonsoft for sending in the email!

*Update* Right! So it's out! Man, that was quick! CFW PSP 3.80 M33-5 is now available! Check out the changelog

Fixed custom CPU clock not working in games
CPU clock has never (in any SE/OE/M33) be set at all in games that restarted using sceKernelLoadExec to use a subgame or reload themselves, after said restart happened (e.g. Castlevania). Fixed.
Added setting to recovery to hide PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG in the XMB game menu
By default off, when on you will probably notice a faster browse in XMB games.
This setting only applies to any kind of apps/games (pbp, iso) that load from MS, but not to UMD's.

As before, you can download the latest version via Network Update (given that you've installed other 3.80 M33 CFWs before). If you don't have any Wi-Fi hotspot nearby, you can download it below.

Again, thanks to Buttonsoft for another email confirming the release! Also, hats off to Johhny McKinney for an advanced heads up (and follow-up email) as well!

Annoyed at the clock speed issue and just overall bad feeling of 3.80m33 was giving me, I pandoraed back to 3.71m33-2. And when I go to download update 4, I see 3.80m33-5 that fixes the clock speed. That's bull****.

This is exactly why these sites need to be constantly informed by the source (ie: Team M33, Dark_Alex, and Math, whoever) on what they are doing, what problems they know about, and whether they are working on them and think they're going to fix it soon.

I'm not updating M33 unless I have to for Pro Street and/or God of War. Hopefully I don't have to 'cause 3.71 seems better. But I guess it's good to know that that issue is fixed if I HAVE to update. Errrrrrrrrr, so annoyed.

# the other one... — Goobers 2008-01-20 11:42

is the "information" pic... when you're looking at a game, there are three things on the screen (besides the rest of the PSP icons)...

correction: 4 things you see and one you HEAR.

the main background, the STATIC icon, the ANIMATED icon (if you have one), the information pic and the background "music" (again, if you have one).

the information pic is the one that goes "explore the vast worlds of so and so" on the right side of the screen. it can actually be just another pic (of a character or something).

# STFU — maze04 2008-01-20 11:51

...you are just patetic...

# Finally — skater9269 2008-01-20 11:51

I needed to get on qj for this at school but It was blocked and so was every f@(king proxy except this proxy.homelinux.com

# Wow — billylee8 2008-01-20 11:57

It's incredible that you can STILL find something to complain about.

No one was forcing you to upgrade, and you should know by now that every new CFW release comes with a few bugs. DAX has been releasing updates faster than ever, but you couldn't even wait a few more days so you just Pandora'd back to 3.71 M33-2 like a pansy. You want our sympathy or something?

Well, at least now you can go to 3.80 M33-5 if you really want, and maybe in a few days you can find something else to cry about!

# . — LiK SHoT 2008-01-20 12:11

man, this guy is dedicated! i love it!!!

# Help! — GH[ ]ST 2008-01-20 12:35

Ok while I play some iso games my psp would freeze as soon as it tries to load the save and load option.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Please help!

# I Need Help — thelastcuban 2008-01-20 12:51

Do you have to have a OFW lower than 3.80 'cuz when i tried it, it said,"The system software of your PSP(TM) system is version 3.80.There is no need to update."Can you help me out?

# upgrading for Pro Streed/ or God of War — Metal Jody 2008-01-20 12:53

just get the ISO so you wont have to upgrade.

# a solution — Metal Jody 2008-01-20 12:55

throw your PSP at your wall and it will work. nah hahaha!! seriously, try switching ISO engines or whatever in vhsmenu.

# geez, just venting — jonnyp_777 2008-01-20 14:38

And how about you STFU maze04.

billeylee8, I thought the reason for DaX's postponing was to not have to make small updates right off the bat. I thought he was taking his presious time to make it as close to perfect as he could before releasing it. How was I supposed to know this update was going to come in a "few more days" when those guys don't keep people updated as much as we should be.

Metal Jody, thanks for not being a punk like the other guys. So ISO's can be a higher FW than what's on my PSP and still work? That would good.

# You need custom firmware first — jbardi 2008-01-20 14:40

Obviously you didn't do any research. You can not use the Network Update to install custom firmware 3.80 M33 unless you already HAVE 3.80 M33-1 installed.

Also, you can't use ANY custom firmware without first having a Pandora Battery and a magic memstick.

Once you pandora your PSP to custom firware, then install 3.80 M33 first release, THEN you can use Network Update to install any later updates of M33 as they are released.

# whyy — xCHRISx 2008-01-20 14:57

cant people just use google. so easy to find that answer that has been answered a million times.

hey can anyone tell me a reason to update to 3.80? 3.71m33-3 seems to be exactly like 3.80. except a different number o_O

# . — Naroon Kasui 2008-01-20 15:03

Awesome. I love you DAX!!!

# Thanks DA — J0539h 2008-01-20 15:17

You the man!

# Sweet.. — shrimpdude 2008-01-20 15:44

I asked for that toggle PIC0/1 feature a while back...man, DAX always comes through with everything.

# why? — hunteroo7 2008-01-20 16:14

Sounds like you are the one not Googling enough?

# Panzy! — Lethal_NFS 2008-01-20 16:39

Boo hoo you had to downgrade. You just sounded like a lil biatch just now. Go code something yourself if you dont like his work you piece of $hit.

# Lethal_NFS can suck a d***! — jonnyp_777 2008-01-20 17:35

I do like his work, but I don't like that he doesn't acknowledge (quickly, bluntly, and openly) that he is working on a particular problem, and give a reasonable estimate as to when it would be fixed. I know a lot of people chose to do that because of wanting 3.80 to have the wrinkles ironed out.

Sounds to me like you, and all his other fan-boys would probably would suck a d*** if it was DaX's. You can be his "lil biatch."

# Jonnyp — Lethal_NFS 2008-01-20 18:30

Your such a panzy. Get lost chump. You sound like a little child with all your crying.

# freezing — Sherpa 2008-01-20 18:44

I'm having the same problem as GH[ ]ST....as soon as i updated it...it started to freeze on me in my games...anybody know why?

I still wanna say thanks to DAX and anyone else involved in psp code world

"dayman....fighter of the night man....champion of the sun... your the master of karate and friendship for everyone"

# i need this firmware on my psp! — pspcrazy123 2008-01-20 19:47

man. I don't know how to hack my psp. I have version 3.80 (non-custom firmware). Some people say you can't hack it, but i saw a video with the same psp slim (darthvader) I havewhich was the same version and all he did was use pandora and magic memory stick. Uhm is that all i need to do ? and btw the firmware it downgrades to is 3.71 m33.. yaddah yaddah.

# Thank you! — GH[ ]ST 2008-01-20 20:12

I'm not the only one!

I've tried everything in recovery

Must be something I'm not seeing....

gerrr!

# Will we still have to DL official FW from sony to update to CFW? — The Frenchman 2008-01-20 20:44

I've been wondering, this new network update thing is great but will it ask us to DL the SONY FWs to install the next CFWs? Or will it just DL the official one AND CFW at the same time and Install itself?

# thanks — natcom 2008-01-21 03:45

what is so good about this new FW im on 371m33-4 and i love it do i really need this update ?

# Network Update M33 — RGC2008 2008-01-21 05:16

The New Network Feature Downloads the next CFW not OFW, say you were on 3.80 m33-4, if you went to network update it would download m33-5, =D

# Internet Radio.... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-21 05:46

....seems to be the only good thing about it. Yea he fixed the clock speed in game, but it's still not as stable and clean as 3.71. Don't do it unless you have to.

# Z3R0mod..... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-21 06:01

All I did was state my situation and my opinion on it. All my bad mouthing was only in response to everyone else's bad mouthing towards me. So according to you, they should get a STFU as well.

"Let the big people worry about these things," how how do you think I am? Just because you DaX worshipers don't agree with my line of thought doesn't mean you're somehow superior and I'm of "small" age.

Why don't I go buy you a 40 so you can go off in the corner, get wasted, and not feel bad about playing with yourself waiting for a new M33 update.

# correction.... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-21 06:05

...how *old* do you think I am?...

# wow. — Naroon Kasui 2008-01-21 08:56

To all those who complained...

GTFO! You batch of ignoramuses couldn't wait just a FEW days for the new update? If so, you don't even deserve a CFW in the first place. I knew the problems existed, and I knew DAX would address them, as usual. I waited, I got what I wanted, I'm happy.

But no, people are never happy, they're just spoiled, ungrateful noobs that think they know everything there is to PSP hacking and modding, and are never satisfied with anything at all. You have no idea how hard it is to even create the CFW's in the first place, so you have no right to whine and bash DAX or his CFW (unless it's extremely constructive criticism or something). So until you noobs make your own CFW by yourself, without reverse-engineering DAX's or anyone else's CFW, just be quiet. It's that simple.

# need some help.. — shingeta 2008-01-21 12:35

wow.. we have update 5.. hmm.. to bad i downgrade back to 3.71m33..

so the clock speed is fix.. guys can you teel me how fas is Tekken DR in update 5??

cues wen am in 3.80m33-4 it was really really slow..

and wen i upgrade to 3.80 last time and got to update 4, wen i look at my game save i still have the darn Dracula icon.. it was supposed to be fix right?

what did i do wrong??

thanx guys..

# help guys.. — shingeta 2008-01-21 12:53

# As I've been told, STFU! — jonnyp_777 2008-01-21 19:27

1. None of those guys tell us what they are doing, so how were people supposed to know that:

a.) They knew about it.

b.) They were trying to fix it.

c.) They were going to release a fix in

a "FEW days".

2. I've had a PSP for three years, so I wouldn't consider myself a "noob", and I don't think I "know everything".

3. I am "satisfied" with things most of the time, but don't have to "just be quiet" when I'm not.

# Stay at 3.71M33 — jonnyp_777 2008-01-21 19:34

Unless you want Internet Radio and whatever else wonderful 3.80M33 has to offer. I went back to 3.71 M33-2 myself, then to 3.71 M33-4. Seems a lot more solid than 3.80 M33.

I don't think you did anything wrong concerning the stupid Dracula icon, that was supposed to be fixed in like M33-2 I thought, but I still had it in M33-4. Maybe it's fixed in -5, but I doubt it.

Stay at 3.71 unless you need to update for a game or want Interent Radio. But hey, that's just my opinion.

# Correction.... — jonnyp_777 2008-01-21 19:38

I've had a PSP for *two* years,....

# freezing game — shingeta 2008-01-22 10:14

# new — charlie78 2008-01-22 14:31

# Wifi sniffer — h0mi 2008-01-22 19:14

# weird — GrayWolf323 2008-01-24 10:03
