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!

   Re: Goobers - 2008-01-20
 » the other one...

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).

   by jonnyp_777 - 2008-01-20
 » Are you kidding me?

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.

...you are just patetic...

   Re: billylee8 - 2008-01-20
 » Wow

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!

   Re: Metal Jody - 2008-01-20
 » upgrading for Pro Streed/ or God of War

just get the ISO so you wont have to upgrade.

   Re: Advertising -


   Re: jonnyp_777 - 2008-01-20
 » geez, just venting

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.

 » Panzy!

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.

   Re: jonnyp_777 - 2008-01-20
 » Lethal_NFS can suck a d***!

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."

 » Z3R0mod.....

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.

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?


   Re: jbardi - 2008-01-20
 » You need custom firmware first

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.

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.
