PSPx interviews Team M33 |
Ó
We know them as Team M33. You know them as the group that's continuing the work of Dark AleX and bringing out new custom firmwares for people to use. How about getting to know them a little better outside of the world of firmware?
We picked up word that the PSPx forums managed to score an interview with some of the members of Team M33. In their interview, they note the origins of the different members, from university students to folks working at software firms. The interview also notes that they're really doing all of this coding work to continue the legacy of Dark_AleX, and that CFW should live on even if Dark_AleX is no longer coding.
On the quotable quotes side, Team M33 also had something rather interesting to say about what the "ideal" firmware would be. According to them, the ideal firmware should actually come from Sony. It's the firmware that Sony would actually put up that allows people to play homebrew without the need for custom firmware from outside sources.
In any case, you can view the full interview at the read link below. In the meantime, the M33 team has requested that supporters donate to M33's PayPal account so they can continue their work.

Comments
first gnahahaha
they REQUEST donations? Who do they think they are? Sony? It's comments like that that made me not even consider even trying their piece of ***** firmware.
what do we care if you aren't using the best firmware that is free?
" M33: That's not truth. But if he wants to work with us we will be pleased to invite him ! There was a rumor, that he has finished to work with ОЕ firmwares because of Sony trying to stop him, and is very sad that he has surrendered. Dark_AleX, if you're reading this interview write us on | m-33@yandex.ru." Always thought that Russian men are one of the most friendly and accomodating people in the World. Go on Team M33, you rock and you deserve all respect!
The moment these guys start making themselves high profile is the moment Sony starts compiling information about precisely who is involved in their outfit so they can begin cracking down on the *****. Why can't people just stay underground, man? - U
they give this stuff for free, it's merely change what they ask for. bet you do the same to people who ask for money on the streets.
If everyone that uses their firmware donates 1 - 5 dollars, they would be filthy rich :P
Ego
Because they are little *****tards showing off how "skilled" they are. I will never ever use any CFW of these little *****s
ok stay with your old firmware, but start crying because you can't play newer games. What's your problem with M33, folks? They work for people like YOU and you can't do other things than bashing them? I have no problems with the FW. No bugs. No problems. There are so many updates because they want to improve the NO-UMD mode. There aren
There aren't any bugs, so stfu and be thankful!
"the M33 team has requested that supporters donate to M33's PayPal account" In any post that contains Team M33, there will definitely be that line above. They made it sound so pathetic. It's like they are begging.
I'ts a bug in the comment system. Sometimes the comment box gets full of random stuff from previous comments.
http://gameplanet.biz.ly/ Amazing Site!
There´s no need for us to stay with our old firmware. There are plenty og other and BETTER CFW-coders. I for one will use the LE firmwares. These M33-guys may or may not be skilled coders, but they are *****s nevertheless. Take the incident with becus25 for example when they told him not to "steal" their firmware before he had done anything to them. And that while they themselve have stolen every tiny bit from Dark_Alex´ OE-Firmware. Come on, that´s just gay in my book.
I think they're *****s :P
Ya know what, I whole heartedly support Team M33 AND ANYOne else THAT furthers the support of "OE" and "Custom" Stuff for us. There are those of us who dont know how to code, and really enjoy the work of these people. I'm personally glad there's still those that code for the FUN of it, and just for recognition. I can only assume that thos eof u who complain about something free are just plain ole' kids...Imature and I guess the term "N00B" fits u.
why all you lot just ***** all the time?? ppl cum here for info and get 6yr olds, so wat if ask for a donation they prob spend hours on end gettin it all sorted if i was them id be chargin so dont ***** specialy if you didnt pay ***** in the first place. the firmwares the bollocks anyone that says different is stupid and anyone that disses it prob a dumass that bricked there psp, unlucky! if you aint got the fw get it your missin out who wouldn wanna play every game available without payin top dollar??
What's wrong with requesting donations? I'm certain Dark_Alex did as well. If I recall correctly, when DAX was still making OE's he had a link for donations as well. He just didn't request psp blogs/forums to post a link to his donations page. Also, how do you know if their Firmware is a piece of crap if you haven't even used it yet? Because they had so many updates on 3.51? If anything, there's ALWAYS bugs in all types of programming. There are some that have a substantial effects to the end user and then there are some that have minor effects to the end user. If you have something against updating, then I'd advise you to become Amish because technology will always have bugs.
well would you want someone taking your hard work, tweaking it, and releasing it under a new name? Thats exactly what becus25 did. These guys just don't want unofficial modifications of their firmware incase they cause trouble with it. These guys are continuing on the work of Dark_AleX. Isn't that what all of us wanted when he quit?
well every article concerning m33 they stress donating. I never updated to m33 and never will. Wildcard for me. m33 seems like they are trying to get donations because dax is gona and they thought they were the only ones with fw making skillz, so they probably would have charged everyone for the fw. But thats just one way of looking at it.
every heard of team wildcard? dumbass they are making cfw too, and its made up of daxs source code.
NEW and IMPROVED online way of making EASY/FREE MONEY this one has alot more features with alot more ways of making money online.. you gotta try it and see. SWATcash - Where the checks they fire are never blank! Great, fun site with a friendly community and nice helpful admins over there. This is a GPT site that pays via paypal or check with a minimum of $15 in earnings to request payout. 20% referral commision. Extra goodies like missions and an armory and weapon shop and alliances. Missions: When completed all missions you get extra goodies! Armory: Buy armor and weapons to increase your atk and defense skills so people can't steal your SWATcash (not real money- that's safe with you) and you can steal others once a day for extra swatcash. Alliances: Out of 3 alliances, you may pick one. The highest amount in avg. earnings for each alliance, as well as infiltration points (you can attack other alliances), and referrals you get extra goodies. You can get 2 free referrals with 25 swatcash by buying the Walkie Talkies in the armory. That got me an extra $50 in my earnings. Also the weekly contests will get you atleast $1000 plus more if you are a lucky one for more info go here.... http://www.freewebs.com/eazybilz/swatcash.htm [Pays through paypal and cheques, minumum payout is $15] proof of payment.. http://www.freewebs.com/eazybilz/proofofpayment.htm
I don't understand whats with the flaming at team M33. They made a custom firmware for you guys to use, they took their time for coding this CF and they applied their knoweledge of coding to it. I don't understand why there are comments posted by others saying "I think these guys are ****s". If you post something like that, at least try to support you opinion with facts, not dumb ass brainlessness. Listen, if there are so many of you who seem to hate Team M33 and post that they are "****s" and that they "suck", then I assume that every single one of you can make a better CF for all of us to use and appreciate. But I can't fully assume that because I know for a fact that all you hypocrites are fat asses eating chips at the moment and reading this on the computer screen. I, truly, could never make a CF that all of you would appreciate, I doubt any one of you would appreciate it, but you know, if you have nothing good to say then please don't speak. I, currently, am using Team M33's CF, and it's not bad at all. It's got the same recovery as DAX's CFs and it also opened opportunities for new homebrew developement as stated in more than one article. Please, have respect or else you get bad karma and you'll be treated how you treat others. Thank you -Volk
Why would you have a problem with them asking for donations? Every web comic, programmer and freeware site on the net that has anything worth offering asks for donations. Even if that is why they are into homebrew, if they create a quality product (and bugs or no, it is, far better than anything anyone I have seen post here have created) then they are entitled to at least the right to ASK for donations for their otherwise FREE work. Bah to you all.
M33 request donations because some sites like QJ make $$ off ads while posting their releases. So M33 want their donation link in the post if sites like QJ are gonna post their stuff.
if you dont like them then dont use their ***** and stfu cuz we dont need to hear ur opinion
in a sense they are doing the same thing that becus was doing... plus i dislike Russians :P (and that's coming from a former soviet citizen)
great coders like DAX and team Noobz never required for their donation link to be posted on every article they are on.. just a little smug
Noobz did for the 3.5 downgrader who cares ! if they were REQUIRING people to donate to DOWNLOAD the firmware, then it would be a problem. plus look people were complaining about M33's updates now look Team Wildcard have already done 3 bugfixes in ONE DAY !!!
A) they need to have UP modchips to make sure they're not buying new PSPs every time something gets mixed up and leads to a brick. B)3 of them are students who do this with their spare time, meaning the extra cash keeps them from feeling like its fruitless and frustrating (DAX left because hes trying to do something more than just make free CFWs with his life). C)These guys are Russian and don't read these english forums but sites like QJ or maxconsole all profit from the flood of visitors due to their releases , they just want to make sure that people know they'll gladly take your contributions, and that sites (which they'll never read) aren't just giving out their work without the chance to donate. These guys have respect for the fallen idol DAX, and the homebrew community altogether. So lets not get all wrapped up about them and becus25 or whatever, because what they said was true. How would you like it if you worked on a long project, put yourself at risk from getting sued by sony, then some jerk came along, added a plugin and changed the name of the project to "Douchebag CFW 4 ever" would you be pissed? I would, thats leeching at its hardest. And remember that reverse engineering 3.40 and 3.10 OE was one thing, then they had to adjust it all to fit in with the new 3.51 FW, something they did themselves.
^ everyone does ;) Look, if you completeley do everything on your own, than you can tell others to stop taking your work and change it. But Dark_Alex was the only one who did so. He was the only one to ask for that. Now there is M33 who stole the code from Dark_Alex... that´s why they have absolutely no right to ask other not to change their work. IT'S NOT THEIR WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE.
"C)These guys are Russian" And that's exactly why we shouldn't support them
What the ***** is ur problem? They spend their time trying to helpp the *****ing PSP community FREE OF *****ING CHARGE, and what the ***** do you do? You *****ing ***** about them asking for donations. They have every right to ask for donations so why don't you put ur *****ing ***** up someone else's ass and leave everyone alone you **********.
Who cares who you get what from, as long as it works as advertised Team M33 arent forcing you to donate, they may act a little full of themselves and can be jerks at times, but does it really matter, as long as they keep making CFWs it doesnt Think about it like this, would you rather take gold from the Devil, or a beating from God? Now that Team Wildcard is making CFWs theres some competition, so i say let the best CFW win
Posted by: Patriotski ( » Patriotski amerikansky) " "C)These guys are Russian" And that's exactly why we should not support them" Can you please expand on that comment, you brainless ape. Stop scratching your ass and please gain some respect. I am Polish but all my family starting from my grandparents is Russian and that was a horrible comment to post. I suggest you stop believing in Hitler because he is long dead and, I'm not sure about Amarica, everyone hates Nazis

I suggest you stop believing in Hitler because he is long dead and, I'm not sure about America, everyone hates Nazis. What exactly do you have against Russians, are you jelous that every single Russian has a higher average IQ than America and Germany? What the hell, I don't understand you guys. Like I said, Hitler is long dead and Stalin is too so there should be absolutely no enmity. Other wise, please explain your comments so at least we can understand you... or go to school. -Volk
I am Bulgarian and know a lot of Russians and have Ukrainian friends, but i still dislike the majority of Russians :P
" I am Bulgarian and know a lot of Russians and have Ukrainian friends, but i still dislike the majority of Russians :P" thats okay, i'm american, and so are most of my friends, but i still dislike the majority of americans. And no i'm sorry Volk, but Americans don't hate nazis, we just drink a different flavor of nazi soda (Oil Flavor mmmmm).
