PSP - Image 1 


Like a lightning bolt out of the blue, Team M33 strikes unexpectedly with their fourth update to their very own Custom Firmware 3.52. It's not as major as the previous one, as it's mainly a bugfix that takes care of a few nagging issues the team must have missed after they rolled out their highly-anticipated third update. In any case, let's get to the changelog and see what's new!

Changes in M33-4 (mainly bugfix)
  • Fixed the bug that caused CRC error when writing to flash usb in the XMB. Now writing is OK.
  • Added the new speeds to vshmenu and core, because we forgot in recovery.
Also, a few notes from Team M33:
  • As we didn't want to release a new update without something new, we worked in making 3.10/3.11 to work with popsloader, and that's it, the new popsloader plugins supports them.
  • Instruction for 3.10 and 3.11 are same as 3.30: you need pops.prx, popsman.prx and pafmini.prx with the correct names in popsloader directory. And remember that savedata of 3.10-3.30 are incompatiblewith those of 3.40+. We'll research if a solution for this is possible.
Not a very long list of changes, but very considerate of Team M33 to put out an update so that PSP homebrew enthusiasts would have a better time with their CFW. As usual, please, please, read the relevant readme files included in the zip archive before you do anything. Installing something that tinkers with your PSP's firmware without the required knowledge and information could result in a bricked handheld, and loss of portable gaming joy. It will not be pretty.

And as always, if you have some cash to spare, why not make a donation to Team M33's Paypal account? It'd certainly help.

Thanks for Anthony Cavanaugh for the tip!

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/ezymoney you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.
Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,
I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!
[NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!]

No professional would ever make a conditional bricker, especially on purpose. Being upset that someone stole is fine but punishing users is just dumb. Instead of bricking, why not just not update at all? Apparently that's beyond these tools.

readme file says this: "Team M33

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for yankee paranoids, a little word about the "brickers" issue.
We repeat it again: THERE IS NO MALICIOUS CODE inside M33.
Some of the files of this update are protected by encryption schemes to protect ourselves
from that page that annoys homebrew developers.
The keys for the decryption: the own update file.
So if the file is changed, the decrypted data is not the original one, and this causes the
wrong data to be written. There is no way you can call this malicious code as there is no explicit
code to brick nothing, it is the corruption of the update what actually causes the bad decrypted
data to be written.

Anyways in this update we check if decrypted data is wrong and in that case we write a recovery
warning the user what happened. It will activate usb, and it will allow you to execute a recovery
eboot.pbp... in a curious path ("ms0:/PSP/GAME/PS3NEWS_ARE_STEALERS_I_AM_NOT_GONNA_VISIT_THEM/EBOOT.PBP")
which is not at sight of an hex editor ;)"

Seems to me they're trying to get on the psp's community's good side by releasing this. I, for one, will not be downloading or using this crap. Can't risk a friggin brick thank you very much.

yah good 4 u cuz no one gives a rat's ass bout what u think.Anyways nicely done M33,full support ur way and read the README stupid ppl or else u turn brick like this guy here complaining.

   Re: dsaf (Unregistered) - 2007-08-20
 » adsa

the reason people were bricking is because ps3news modified the eboot

   Re: B.B.P (Unregistered) - 2007-08-20
 » to the retard "good 4 u"

First of all, my psp isn't bricked. That's because I don't use most of these releases until I'm sure it's safe in one way or another dumbass. Like I said earlier, If your psp had been bricked, you would have been crying your ass off by now.

so get off m33 D!CK, retard! I personally have not read the new read me for this update, cause I hadn't downloaded it yet. But from what I gather, they didn't even name the site, they called it "criminal" site. Are users suppose to be psychics now? We're those who got bricked suppose to know they were refering to ps3news?

So spare me your b.s ok bud. Think before you talk next time. True as they say, common sense isn't common.

   Re: ... (Unregistered) - 2007-08-20
 » ...

to B.B.P : They clearly said it was ps3news in the readme right from the start, and then later referred to it as a "criminal site." Don't make statements about things that you don't know...it makes you look like a retard.

   Re: RE:HA (Unregistered) - 2007-08-20
 » RE:HA

the point is no one really gives a crap weather u use m33 firmware or not,we juz hate ppl like u coming here to talk bout crap bout the developers.Anyways DAX supports the M33 so why shouldn't we?besides if u dl this from the right place then you wont brick.so beat it and dont use m33 instead make ur own but as we all know ur probably gonna criticize m33 publicly then when no one's looking updating to their *****.
