MERGED: PSP Firmwares

[dharsam]

Could the PSP actually surpass the DS in worldwide sales this month? Maybe! According to a report from Japanese site Gpara, the newly redesigned PSP Slim & Lite sold around 130K on its September 20 launch date.

Don’t forget that the Crisis Core PSP bundle also sold out last week, which consisted of 77,777 units total. That means in under two weeks, the PSP has pushed over 200K units in Japan alone.

Team M33 has stated that due to an internal vote they have decided to take a small break before releasing any more PSP custom firmware. They cite a few reasons for their internal vote (3 votes against 2) and include the following; to teach a lesson to those who don't appreciate the work of hobby hackers and those developers who steal code and don't know what their doing. They confirm that their M33 v3.71 custom firmware is COMPLETED but they are just taking a small break before releasing to teach people a thing or two about acting lame. So what is the story here? People should stop conducting themselves in an immature manner and be more respectful to those who are working in their own free time. Spread the word and DIGG THIS!!!.

3.71 M33 by M33=Dark_AleX



Changes in 3.71 M33:



- Now uses 3.71

- VSH Menu is not longer launched using HOME key, but using SELECT now. This is to not

interfere with the XMB function of home, which is now more useful in this firmware.

- Psp Slim: umdcache was allocating memory even when homebrew was launched, wasting

memory that homebrew programs may want to use. Now umdcache module is stopped before

it can allocate any memory, only in the case homebrew is launched.



Also, memory is unprotected for user memory usage by M33 core (only when homebrew is launched).

Developer, for a sample of how to use the extra memory, see the extra ram sample of the M33 sdk.



- Both version boot now from 3.XX ipl, and are independent of 1.50.



The main installer will not install 1.50 kernel anymore.

A 1.50 kernel addon for 3.71 M33 that will install inside 3.71 M33 will be released in a

few days (for fat only)



Note: due to some changes in kernel nids by Sony, you can expect a lot of kernel plugins not working anymore.

Programmers: refer to the sdk readme for details.



Installation instructions:



First method for both psp, the prefered when possible:



Requeriments: a fat psp slim with 3.52 M33-3 or 3.52 M33-4. Previous versions of M33 won't work,

due to a bug that affects them and OE; or a psp slim with 3.60 M33.



- Copy the UPDATE directory into /PSP/GAME/UPDATE and copy the EBOOT.PBP of the 3.71 Sony updater

there but with name "371.PBP". Note: the program will not even show if you copy it to a different folder than that.



- If you are in the fat psp, make sure you have configured the psp to run the game folder in the 3.XX kernel.



- Execute the program, it requires 78% of battery. If you have idstorage corrupted due to a downgrader, the program

will ask you to correct it automatically so the update can continue.



- Press X, and the Sony updater will begin. Sit and enjoy while Sony code installs 3.71 M33



- When finished, the updater will ask you to reboot (pressing X or O). DO IT. Do not skip this step

shutting down the psp by yourself, or you'll end with a brick.



- You should be now in 3.71 M33











Unbricker for both psp slim&fat and 1.50 kernel installer for fat 3.71 M33, will be released in few days... and it will be last thing from me.
