PSP Slim - Image 1Hey! Dark AleX is back! Well, for now at least. He's updated he (supposedly) last two releases: the CFW 3.71 M33 and 1.50 Kernel Add-On. Both of them have been upgraded to a version two, with various bug fixes, additional features, and other modifications.

Here's the changelog for M33-2:

  • There was a bug that caused corruption when writing files of more than 32256 bytes using usb flash. The bug has been corrected, and now the implementation is as reliable as it was when it was based on 1.50 kernel. (tested with a full restauration of a dump)
  • Psp Slim: a functionality to let the charge of battery when connecting a usb cable has been added. This feature is based on Noobz plugin code. By default is not enabled, you can enable it in recovery. Note that the charge of battery may be delayed some seconds since the moment you plug the cable.
  • After installing this update, program at /PSP/GAME/UPDATE will always be executed on 3.71 kernel, despite configuration.
  • VSHMenu: vshmenu will not be executed when onscreen keyboard is active, to avoid the lost of the select button function in the keyboard. An option to reset the psp has been added.
  • VSH plugins are not longer executed anymore in recovery mode, that was the cause of pseudo-bricks.
The 1.50 Kernel Add-on has only one thing in its changelog: "When returning from sleep mode, 3.71 ipl was executed causing an immediate crash. Fixed."

Please take a look at the readme documents in the separate download below to check out more details. Installation instructions and noted bugs have been included as well in the readme.

Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip!

FIRST


   Re: iamback(unregistered) - 2007-10-11
 » grrr!!!!

I've been playing lots of CPS2PSP lately. Thus, I didn't realize that my PSP is so screwed up... Apparently almost none of my homebrew works... DGen, SNES, GPSP won't work. I've tried almost everything: I definitely have the kernel installed (and I reinstalled with desperter cementerio version 3. TWICE.). Also, I ran under 1.50 mode with the game in the GAME folder. I ran it with the 1.50 with the game in the GAME150 folder. I ran the apps under 3.71 mode with the games in GAME, and finally I ran it under 3.71 mode with the game in the GAME150 folder...)

So, what do I do?!!! Any help would be great.

Bug fix will somewhat help me this time because for some reason whenever my sister went to standby during GPSP playing Doz Fashion it would reset and I yelled at her not to hold the power switch

 » 1.5 kernel

can i install that kernel add-on v2 without the original 1 or do i need the first 1 to begin


   Re: Chaoticgamer - 2007-10-02
 » ....

I think its safer to do everything in order from the first patch to the second.

   Re: mariojas - 2007-10-02
 » 1.5 Kernel Reply

thats what i thought but it says in readme his update is totaly independent of the 3.71 M33 version installed (1, 2, or future ones),
and also independent of previous 1.50 kernel addon installed or not. So I'm not sure HELP!!!

   Re: Advertising -


   Re: dzdragonzd - 2007-10-03
 » addon

i install addon v2 without the first and it went fine.

   Re: bottmint - 2007-10-24
 » @mariojas

dude independent means that it needs NOTHING BUT THE 150 EBOOT TO INSTALL IT!! that means no 371 m33-1 is required nor is -2 you can use with either 1 and u dont need v1 of the 150 kernel program because v2 is like a whole nother program

how do you activate plugins on this?


   Re: Pwn3r1001 - 2007-10-03

drop the prx file into the SEplugins folder in the root of memory stick. Turn psp off completely, turn it back on while holding R trigger button. go down to plugins, click it and hit enable
   by Esaar - 2007-10-02
 » 1.50.

In order to install the 1.50 addon you need to put the official sony 1.50 eboot renamed to 150.PBP in your memory stick ROOT. The readme doesn't say it so I thought I'd clear that up.

 » still freezes once in a while

never happened in 3.52 at all. Sometimes it just blacks out when exiting a game. If I pull out the MS and then reboot it is fine until next freeze. Don't see a lot of diff from v1 to v2.. it freezes less I guess...

   by dinkydoodle - 2007-10-07
 » Help!

Okay i ran the 1.50 v2 upgrade, it completed everything said DONE, and then restarted itself. Now how do I actually get the plugin to work? Another user suggested putting the .prx file in a new folder SEplugin, but which .prx file.

 » Been awhile since I've done anything to my psp

So I'm running a 1.50 psp but now theres games I want to play outside of my homebrew. After I drop this into the update folder I just run it or do I need to update to an official fw before? doesn't say in the readme.

 » CSO start w/ UMD-disc

I think there's a small bug somewhere: when not using No-UMD (and an UMD disc in the slot) and I start a CSO/ISO-file, for some reason it starts the UMD, not the CSO. With M33 No-UMD setting it works perfect.

 » TA-082?

Would this work on a TA-082 with firmware 2.82?


   Re: dbr - 2007-10-12
 » .

Nope. I believe 2.82 is an official firmware, so it needs to be downgraded to 1.5 and then updated to 'full' firmware 3.71 M33 first (this is an update #2 for that). Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.
