3.71 M33 by M33=Dark_AleX

Changes in 3.71 M33:

- Now uses 3.71

- VSH Menu is not longer launched using HOME key, but using SELECT now. This is to not

interfere with the XMB function of home, which is now more useful in this firmware.

- Psp Slim: umdcache was allocating memory even when homebrew was launched, wasting

memory that homebrew programs may want to use. Now umdcache module is stopped before

it can allocate any memory, only in the case homebrew is launched.



Also, memory is unprotected for user memory usage by M33 core (only when homebrew is launched).

Developer, for a sample of how to use the extra memory, see the extra ram sample of the M33 sdk.



- Both version boot now from 3.XX ipl, and are independent of 1.50.



The main installer will not install 1.50 kernel anymore.

A 1.50 kernel addon for 3.71 M33 that will install inside 3.71 M33 will be released in a

few days (for fat only)



Note: due to some changes in kernel nids by Sony, you can expect a lot of kernel plugins not working anymore.

Programmers: refer to the sdk readme for details.



Installation instructions:



First method for both psp, the prefered when possible:



Requeriments: a fat psp slim with 3.52 M33-3 or 3.52 M33-4. Previous versions of M33 won't work,

due to a bug that affects them and OE; or a psp slim with 3.60 M33.



- Copy the UPDATE directory into /PSP/GAME/UPDATE and copy the EBOOT.PBP of the 3.71 Sony updater

there but with name "371.PBP". Note: the program will not even show if you copy it to a different folder than that.



- If you are in the fat psp, make sure you have configured the psp to run the game folder in the 3.XX kernel.



- Execute the program, it requires 78% of battery. If you have idstorage corrupted due to a downgrader, the program

will ask you to correct it automatically so the update can continue.

- Press X, and the Sony updater will begin. Sit and enjoy while Sony code installs 3.71 M33

- When finished, the updater will ask you to reboot (pressing X or O). DO IT. Do not skip this step

shutting down the psp by yourself, or you'll end with a brick.

- You should be now in 3.71 M33

Unbricker for both psp slim&fat and 1.50 kernel installer for fat 3.71 M33, will be released in few days... and it will be last thing from me.

well more info

Hmmm... no kernel 1.50. VSH Menu is launched using SELECT now, then what happen to SCEP plugin since it use SELECT key too. I guess no reason to update for now.

Poor Dark_Alex, taking all that abuse from QJ among other sites. I guess it shown the PSP community for what it is, no wonder he's quitting for good with all those ungrateful pricks.

I guess we're pretty screwed when games requiring higher than 3.71 come out. >_< at least that will be (hopefully) a while off.

Thanks DAX!

Great news, I saw a lot of people bashing team m33, would like to see their faces now.

[cyclonmaster]

Anyone who already upgraded to 3.71 M33 can enjoy 1.50 homebrew now.
I'm still on 3.52 M33, is it worth upgrading? Anyone tried it yet?

does PS1 Pal games work with correct speed on 3.71 now?
i didn't update, but i will if its true.

[refraction]

I noticed the M33 site has now gone

just dark-alex.org now

[Yeloazndevil]

of course the M33 site would be gone since it was dark_alex

[NexXxus]

yep, m33 = d_A
i also thought it was a team, but m33 is only one and no other person than dark_alex.

[runawayprisoner]

It is a team... just D_A and some other people like Mathieu... as always.
And about the PSP community, Exophase saw that a while ago. He actually took an interest in another platform: the GP2X.

What do you expect when your fanbase consists out of whining, spoiled kids who don't know jack about coding, hacking and emulation. Emulation scenes such as the Dreamcast's and the quality forums such as Emuforums are pretty rare really. Also, the more warez involved, the nastier the brats will become.
