Team Wildcard - Image 1Thanks to a tip from wwwqwerty, we found out that Team Wildcard has released an update to its 3.40 LE firmware. The update is a patch that fixes some issues with the initial release of the custom firmware.

Here are the fixes for this version of 3.40* LE v2:

  • Removed non-functional File Manager option in the Recovery menu
  • In recovery, detects ms0:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP and only launches it if it exists
  • Fixed problems that kept UMDs from loading properly
  • Added support for %__SCE__/__SCE__ homebrew naming style
  • Re-enabled the use of GAME150 and GAME340, though you *DO NOT* need them.
Note, however, that you'll need to run this from 3.40* LE to get this patch to work. Also, Team Wildcard notes that if you're having an issue with the PSP not starting after you install, go into Recovery mode and disable all of your plugins.

This Firmware is not better than M33.... M33 is still alive and running!! I support M33 Team, not this team!!

Wrong. You just couldn't start them *all* because of memory problems.

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....

[Pays through paypal and cheques, minumum payout is $15]

 » Finally!

Finally, somebody OTHER than M33 has come out with a CFW. Props to becus25, though, for stepping up and taking charge when most of us were standing around scratching our heads. I was so shocked at how smug and *****y M33 was about being the only team that's allowed to (essentially) steal DAX's work that I decided to NEVER use their CFW. I can't believe in a community where we take so much pride in working together that everybody applauds M33 for being the MicroSoft of the homebrew scene. It's only a matter of time before they start charging, mark my words...

EAT IT, M33!

This firmware is bad, why did they not make it perfect when they first released it? Oh, that's right...people only say that about M33 firmware...but M33 only released patches that made ISO loading better. Sorry, but M33 is still the best.

   Re: FreePlay (Unregistered) - 2007-08-08

Because the source code was leaked and they just cleaned it up for a release. Learn to read.

they had to release it cause some f@g hacked their account and stole their work... thus it wasn't complete. They were working on 3.52 but cause of this guy they might never complete it, which is a shame cause i think this firmware is awesome!!!

1. Wildcard isnt bad
2. M33 isnt bad

Stop flaming "m33 is best" or "wildcard is best" or "***** off m33" or "***** off wildcard".

Both are good Firmwares. And if the teams would work together, it would be the ultra firmware... ever thought about that?

I agree DevilGun, No need to flame people whoa re trying to make a good custom firmware. This looks pretty cool, I was considering downgrading my m33 3.52 to test some homebrew on this version, see if it works better or not. Either way, M33 and WildC*rd are working wonders for us all in the psp homebrew scene, keep it up you 2!

I agree the whole flaming which cfw is better is stupid, but I'd like to throw a bit of an intelligent argument into the mix.

I have never been able to run m33's cfw of any version successfully without debilitating bugs, such as the vsh constantly crashing, or instant crash upon attempt to use the web browser or load a backup iso, etc.

Wildcard's cfw has worked just as well as anything DAX has ever released. I'm glad someone who is capable of building something stable has come up.

I don't mean to say m33 sucks, but they need to work on some stability issues.

If your VSH crashed, you used wrong Themes.....
I've had the same problems as I tried to use the topmenu_plugin from my previous 3.40 OE.

   Re: ... (Unregistered) - 2007-08-08

Never had any of those problems, so your argument was not so intelligent after all...

   Re: Silver-Tiger (Unregistered) - 2007-08-08

When your VSH crashes, you made something wrong. On thousands of other PSPs it works just fine so it's your fault. Don't blame M33's Firmware for this.

 » answers

we are not aiming for competition in any way, shape or form with other teams. m33 havedone an amazing job with their cfw, ours is just an alternative.

for all those still questioning why there are bugs (well nowthere are less lol)and why it's only 3.40; the simple reason is because our unfinished project's sources got leaked. we never planned on releasing a 3.40 version, we just reversed the 3.40OE to understand how everything worked to later implement the patches on 3.52

unfortunately our work got stolen and the best way to counter the site who leaked everything was to release the 3.40 version "officially" to stop people going to their site. there is a 3.52* version in the works, work was already well underway on it before all this crap happened. someday it may be released but for now we're taking a bit of a break to settle somewhere 100% ***** safe.

M33 is good, they have better ISO/CSO loading drivers, but... still have some problems, I was on M33 5.2fw and I was playin Burnout Dominator, sometimes my psp frized while i was in the middle of a race, I let that thing happen three times till I decided to go back to 3.4 OE-A, I personally dont like having a firmware that frizes my psp God!!

STOP flaming. Its as stupid as the FirstPosters.

They should work together and make some more cool things like pimp'n the FlashPLayer or making a better ingame mp3 player (with folder access and working in psx and homebrew)

Oh and there is a little problem with this Custom Firmware:

I have the mp3-plugin running on my psp, and if I hear to music and stop it again and then opening the CF menu and closing again, the music starts to play... not really bad but it is a bug ^^

its very cool that there are diffrent groups working on diffrent firmwares more choices

ive been using m33 3.52 with no issues playing games or using apps or anything that i can think of.

Does this firmware offer any new features above recovery and diffrent folder options above the m33 release at the moment ?
