A new custom firmware patch has recently surfaced. Homebrew developer Yellow_Rain dropped by the QJ.NET PSP Development forum and informed us that a new patch based on the 3.90 M33 build can now be downloaded and installed into your PlayStation Portable.
This unofficial patch, based on the most recent custom firmware released by Dark AleX, contains a reversed and updated popcorn.prx. Also, a hex-edited vshctrl.prx and a new GetVersion opcode were both updated in this new build. The developer has tested and confirmed that CFW 3.93 M33 works for both the classic and Slim PSP. Please take note that it only flashes the changed modules, so make sure that you have CFW 3.90 M33-2 installed on your handheld before running the patch. To give you a better idea of how to install this new custom firmware into your handheld, here's a video showing off the installation process. As always, make sure to thoroughly read the documentation included in the program before installing it. Article Originally posted on March 20, 2008 at 2:42 p.m. UPDATE: Thanks to a tip from JumpR, we've recently learned that Yellow_Rain has updated the patch readme and the application itself so that it states more clearly that it's only a patch and not a new firmware. That being said, we've renamed and edited the above post and reuploaded the file so there's no confusion. Enjoy!

That site's not that cool.
Even better is www.swatcash.com/admin
They give out cash regularly for doing surveys, and now they've got a contest this month where you can win a wii (or cash prizes up to $250!). And every month they have a different contest.
By the way, anyone else think that Dark Alex may one day find a way to run a CFW update straight off a memory stick.
In other words, like make it in such a way that you can run an update on a OFW PSP, but have it coded in such a way (I guess signed and encrypted) that the PSP thinks it's a real OFW.
Wouldn't that be cool? I mean I know all about Pandora, but I mean what if there was a way for those who didn't want to do pandora?

I had a lot of games that "performed" that way under 3.90. They work fine w/ Popsloader running under 3.71 mode (thanks to PSARdumper). I've pretty much given up on getting these particular games to run on anything after that.
You may want to consider the hassle of adding some versatility to your popsloader?
P.S. I have a slim

He doesn't have a 3.93 kernal so this is really 3.93. Good update but I will stick to 3.90 M33-2. Maybe you should work on the entire firmware because there are come things that change like having a faster XMB w/out the 3.71 fatmsmod.

Oh yes...people always have issues with non-M33 updates. Thats what they get for using firmwares made by people other than DAX.

Yellow_Rain, I respect the fact that your trying to help out the community. I have friends who will be installing this, they need the latest firmware to use PS3 connectivity and you my friend made that possible. A few minor errors are not a biggy, even the golden standard have revisions, its a fact of life. Nothing can ever be perfect(as is evident with stock FW) and you can always revise your coding. Keeping chugging away and keep working hard. there are people who apreciate it, those who dont, well they can f*ck off...

» If it ain't broken....
How many of you dimwits upgrade because you actually have a legitimate NEED to?
Or are you the kind of person who just HAS to have the latest version number, even though it makes absolutely no tangible difference to the tasks you perform on your PSP?
I guarantee you the ratio is probably around 10% - who can actually benefit from the changes this PATCH makes to 3.90 M33-2. The rest will probably convince yourselves that your games are suddenly running faster or something...
This isn't even a "new firmware" !!! Yet people don't want to use it because they want to show their loyalty to DA and his firmwares!? How stupid. This is a PATCH you retards, NOT A NEW FIRMWARE...
Have you ever heard the phrase "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"? .... Well since for 90% of you, your PSP activities will remain ABSOLUTELY unchanged after installing this _patch_, perhaps you should first determine whether or not you actually need these changes or not.

But there aint any harm makin it look like 1. i do agree with u in some spaces about the thing that nothing will change. It is the same darn thing as 3.90 m33 2. All i m saying is if u dnt like this patch, pls do not discourage other ppl to use. let every1 be a free thinker.

As for what snakeboy said is that ppl are flaming each other for no good reason.
This should be used by ppl who are actually in need of the patch, and its pointless right now for most of you cuz firmware changes are only to mess up game compatability and most games need 3.52 and new games need 3.80.
Dont flame someone trying to help!
