Ji@nBing Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 3.71 M33 by M33=Dark_AleXChanges 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. Source And a quote from DAX on the Maxconsole forums: Yes, M33 is me. any other question? So "Team M33" has in fact been DAX all along!!! Sad news though is that this will in fact be his final release. The PSP homebrew scene ows him a huge debt of gratitute. Hopefully he will re-appear sometime soon.

Noveed Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 another twist in the psp scene lol, this is more entertaining than eastenders! yea but im waiting for the 1.5 kernel add in. there's alot of homebrew not working yet.and hopefully it will be able to change the themes gameboot and all. heard the flash0 folder is hidden now. Yeah sucks doesnt it, its not hidden i dont think, i think everything is just stuffed up in the rcos and prx files instead of laying about. Can still see files in flash0.

ichi Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 It kinda sucks that M33 is actually D_A, because that could mean that we won't be getting more quality CF anytime soon :( Anyway, Sony owes like 90% of the PSP sales to this guy... I guess he wouldn't mind if Sony decided to kindly share part of the profit :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xploit1030 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 To think I was holding off, checking dark-alex.org daily for him to make his comeback and sticking with 3.40OE until he did so. Granted I wasn't one of those people out there bad mouthing M33 but I was hesitant to use their firmwares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huleboeren Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 What made him move from one firmware to another? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 What made him move from one firmware to another? :s You mean release his stuff under the alias M33? Well, to mess with us (and Sony) of course!! 12 year olds on all the PSP message boards were yelling at each other over weather who is better, DAX or M33. Some people saying that M33 is crap and nothing compared to the quality of DAX releases (even going so far as to refuse to upgrade to the M33 releases because they are "not DAX"). Others saying M33 is better than DAX ever was, ect... And he just sat back and continued doing his thing and laughed at all the idiots. Sony too was probably scares sh^tless that someone had taken over so soon after he "left". Too bad he really is leaving now. I think possibly the PSP scene is dead. DAX seems to be the only one with the talent to do this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
