CFW 3.52 M33 available now - Image 1Team M33 does service to the homebrew scene once more as it just released a new build for its custom firmware, completely cracking Sony's official PSP FW 3.52. Aside from the improvements that come with CFW 3.52 M33, all features from previous releases have been incorporated as well.

We know you just can't wait to see the latest development for yourselves but before you do, here's the complete changelog for the new custom firmware:

  • Now uses 3.52!!!
  • M33 NO-UMD: fixed problem with Simple 2500 Series Portable, The IQ Cube
  • Fix a bug which made Go!Cam, GPS and sceKernelLoadExecVSH* not work in game mode.
  • PSN downloaded PSX games support wasn't working in 3.51 M33 (didn't work in latest OE's either). Now it is working again. If an original PSN game still doesn't work, we recommend to delete files KEYS.BIN if exists, and copy the game again from PS3 to PSP.
Please take note that CFW 3.52 M33 comes with a Readme file. We don't have to reiterate how important for you guys to read that first before installing this on your PlayStation Portable units.

A lot of QJ.NET loyal readers sent us tip regarding this one. And by saying a lot, we really mean a lot. Thanks for the heads up everyone!

I followed all DA's works and currently using 3.30 OE-A. I didn't installed 3.51 M33 on my PSP as I wanted to see first the feedback from users. Now that I see this is a real deal, I want to install. I want to ask about the recovery of this CFW. can I still use the same recovery used for OE versions? - or do I need another different recovery? Please reply.

Hey team M33 (if your reading this), how much would I have to donate for you guys to make in your next firmware the update icon on the XMB map to the your next M33 update firmware instead of Sony's. I'll pay and I'm sure a lot of us will.


   Re: . (Unregistered) - 2007-07-26
 » .

that would be sweet, but theres a problem: in order for you to be able to install the latest CFW, you need the official updates from sony. M33 cant distribute those legally. good idea, but its illegal (like isos). M33 would still appreciate the money though.

   Re: $ (Unregistered) - 2007-07-26
 » it could be done

to make it legal the official firmware could still be downloaded from sony then merged with 1.5 and then installed. it would be a few dozen lines of code in the processing section of the update icon action.

Yeah, great idea. Let's all pay the hackers and just download the ISOs. Let's not pay the ACTUAL guys who make the PSP so great - the game devs. Anyone donating that kind of money to a bunch of crooked russians is a goddamn retard!

   Re: vitz3 (Unregistered) - 2007-07-26
 » lol

just for that, I'm donating another $50!!

let's be honest here, most PSP games are utter crap, just plain garbage. If they can't make a decent game then the devs deserve to lose money.

plain and simple

The PSP is capable of great games

   Re: Ninja2507 (Unregistered) - 2007-07-26
 » Very generous

If I had the extra money, I would donate for sure. Thanks for keeping the psp homebrew scene alive M33. AND THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS FOR FREE AND ONLY TO BENEFIT OTHERS AND NOT JUST YOURSELF.

to metalspector and zetsurin: Just cause it runs isos, doesn't mean everyone uses it to play illegal isos. I certainly buy my games, gives the game developers a reason to keep going, and running em in no-umd mode makes it so I can save battery life while getting fast load times.

Ninja2507, when did I say that people use this to run illegal isos... Hell, when did I mention the word iso? I just say that it's retarded to donate 50 dollars because they made a cfw... Lol I wasn't even certain if the psp was worth buying for 170 dollars (being a 1.5 when I tested it at Game Stop) and like if it's worth throwing away 50 dollars for something that its real value is like 2-5 dollars... I know vitz3 isn't really gonna donate 50 dollars but still if you wanted to sound cool or something then you're retarded cause that comment made you look retarded, like paying 25 dollars for a can of Coca Cola...
