[h901]

thanks for this

but no 3.72?? as you said theres not much there in 3.72
but for ps3 users there is, the remote play wake on lan feature
hopefully you could make it work on 3.71 m33-3 or just easily make 3.72 m33

or is it possible just to swap the prx's??? from 3.72 to 3.71 m33-3??

thanks

i`m on psp browser now and cant access zip's. could anybody provide changelog?

[celyst]

Great to see you're improving your M33 driver to match up to Sony :).

[celyst]

i`m on psp browser now and cant access zip's. could anybody provide changelog?

Yes you can, there is a ZIP/RAR plugin that can extract files from those 2 archives on the PSP.

[squee666]

heres the changelog since it wasnt posted

Changelog for Custom Firmware 3.71 M33-3

* Fixed a bug in access to flash by usb.
* HEN core: kernel prx's with syscall exports work again.
* PSP Slim: programmers can set the size of user memory to 52 MB by using a sfo flag.
* Check sample in sdk for usage.
* March33 NO-UMD driver:
o Fixed a bug that could hang the PSP when exiting with home.
o Fixed compatibility issue with Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, and maybe more games.
* Vshmenu: it wasn't displaying properly with PSP slim TV-OUT due to the change of resolution. Fixed.

Changelog for the new POPSloader

* Support for 3.71 and 3.72 pops has been added. Note that 3.71 however will not appear in the list in 3.71 M33 as it is not necessary.
* List of files needed for each version:
o 3.00-3.03: kd/popsman.prx, kd/meaudio.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
o 3.10-3.30: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
o 3.40-3.72: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx, vsh/module/libpspvmc.prx

@ dark-alex
a lot of thank you from we are here...indonesian psp comunity,you are still the greatest...btw..do i have to instal 1.50 add on again, now my custome firmware is 3.71 m33 v.2-1.50 add on v.2 :)...sory for my bad english :D

[firaX]

thanks for the update.

anyone seen the CD change option in pops372 yet? I tried with lunar and cant seem to get it to work (there is simply no option). Was it maybe just a rumor thats not even true, OR do we have to merge the games into one eboot afterall?

[FRanatic]

I assume the usbdevice.prx is included in this update. In other words accessing f0 is safe (as it was in previous versions before 3.7x) again ?

Thanks D_A, for staying just a little bit longer.

-FRanatic

[Triggerman]

Thank you Dark_AleX.

Never used plugins before. Wondered why popsloader wouldn't appear at plugins menu in recovery. You should have included that pops.txt file in this release too. :D

For everyone having the same problem: simply put "pops.txt" to "ms0:/seplugins/". pops.txt must contain this line: "ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx".


put popsman.prx,pops.prx,pafmini.prx and libpspvmc.prx in seplugins/popsloader/

and RENAME them

for 3.72

i would like to know
how will/when be be able to make multi-cd eboots

Thanks for clearing that up! :) I'd like to know that too. Anyway they have reworked the home/settings menu for pops. Everything is clearly arranged now. :)

[idontknow]

What more can I say but that you " Dark_Alex" are the man.. Been here since the beginning and you will never cease to amaze me with your talent.

Thanks for all your contributions and all others that has helped as well.

Thanks D_A, for staying just a little bit longer.

-FRanatic

yeah, a new usbdevice.prx is flashed with this update along with the others (march33, satellite etc) so accessing flash0 is now fixed

@thank you Dark_AleX

Thats what I actually believe. Multiple discs may need to be merged into one single EBOOT file. I hoped D_A figured that out. :o

[bigdaddie]

Can i update from whatever CFW version (for instance CFW 3.52) to 3.71 M33-3 :confused:

[brethren]

Dark_AleX just tried RamTest, my slim attempts to allocate 52mb and fails but manages to allocate 51mb. Does allocating 52mb work for you?

[firaX]

you go to 3.71m33 first (just dl that, along with 371 eboot ), then apply the -3 update after, its easy , no worries. Almost like install official firmware now.

[celyst]

Can i update from whatever CFW version (for instance CFW 3.52) to 3.71 M33-3 :confused:

Update to 3.71 M33 first.

[brethren]

Can i update from whatever CFW version (for instance CFW 3.52) to 3.71 M33-3 :confused:

no, don't do that:eek: go first to 371 m33 then use the 371 m33-3 update

[RzXG]

Thank you Dark_AleX!

[squee666]

lol i havnt used pops since i updated to 3.52m33

does allocating more ram on the slim mean that vsh customization works alot better since there more ram for themes

also thanks again

[cory149]

Thats what I actually believe. Multiple discs may need to be merged into one single EBOOT file. I hoped D_A figured that out. :o
Or it may well be that something (some bits) in the eboot has to be set, or perhaps only specific games (game ID) supported by PSN will give any option at all. Are there even any multi-disc games on PSN as of yet?

Dark_AleX: thanks yet again :)

[bigdaddie]

brethren

no, don't do that go first to 371 m33 then use the 371 m33-3 update


celyst

Update to 3.71 M33 first.
Thanx, for the quick response :)

[fishmoose]

Thank you so much you are great man! i'm so happy new psp functions and 2.0 for PS3 :)

[alpha]

thank you!

muchas gracias!

[lenselijer]

i cant put 1.50 addon and m33-3 update on the same memorystick? they both use the update folder.

[Dark_AleX]

Dark_AleX: thanks yet again :)

Yeah, we'll have to wait to some multi-disc game, and decrypt them to see how the thing is done.

[Xenogears V]

Great Dark Alex, Thanks!.:)

[Dark_AleX]

Dark_AleX just tried RamTest, my slim attempts to allocate 52mb and fails but manages to allocate 51mb. Does allocating 52mb work for you?

It is normal. It can't allocate the full 52 MB, becaue a bit of user memory is used by the own prx, and by the sony module usersystemlib.prx.

[blueacidic]

Good work Dark_AleX, thanks!

[Wuzmot]

just setup popsloader with all pops files, a very tastey list to choose from.

Nice work DA.

[lycenhol]

Starting from 3.52 M33 Rev.4, in order to make a clean Installation, is the next list correct?
Install 3.71 M33
Install 3.71 M33 patch 3
Install 3.71 M33 Kernel 1.50 patch 2


Thanks

[frazz]

Thanks for your hard work D.A. much appreciated

[Z-B8]

Wow, thank you for the update :)

Pops is more or less the only reason, i switched to CFW almost a year ago.
And here's my question: How exactly can i get access to the 3.72 pops?
I'm on 3.71M33-2 + 1.50kernel addon right now.
What do i have exactly to do? Update to 3.71M33-3, i suppose.
But where comes the 3.72 pops from? Or do i have to copy some files to the flash via the bootmenu? I never did that, because it never was neccesary, so i need a little help here.

Thanks :)

[grit]

Thank you for another quality release. :)

[tralalawala]

download the 3.72 eboot from the official sony site, download psardumper from dark alex' site.

Stick the eboot.pbp on the root of your mem stick , put psardumper in the game folder of your psp. run psardumper, copy the pops files (the readme of m33-3 tells you which ones I think) to your seplugins dir, renaming them to match.

After installing m33-3 of course.

So how can i choose the 3.72 pops, if it doesn't apper in the list?

[matomato]

Thank You Dark_AleX, this is "the" Custom Firmware! :D

[psp.padawan]

Dark_AleX, adding the following lines to loadprx sample from hensdk made OE no-umd mode work for games that previously only ran on UMD required mode

pspSdkInstallNoDeviceCheckPatch();
pspSdkInstallNoPlainModuleCheckPatch();

It works on 3.52 M33-4 but on 3.71 it doesn't. Are these functions broken on 3.71?

Any chance including an updated loadmodule/loadprx sample for m33 and/or np9660? :D

[kyojison]

dax, need help on my psp. im on 3.71 m33-3. but it seems i'm having problems regarding to scan any wifi connection. it says: an internal error occurred (00000001). is it part of the sony bug? need help pls

psp.padawan i'm not 100% sure but i believe those patches are only for firmware 1.50. its possible i may be wrong though:p

[allegrosurf]

there is no problem with the wifi connection, mine are fine.. i just browsing by using psp browser..

[yungfu]

Thanks yet again Dark_AleX!!!

Im curious tho, does your cfw allocate more ram for isos or not. Im asking this coz if i remember it right, the official firmware allocates the extra 32mb ram only as cache for the umd.

Ive been meaning to ask this for a while. :D

[psp.padawan]

[nukester]

There have been people reporting that it works with the thing of replacing vsh/module/premo_plugin.prx and vsh/resource/premo_plugin.rco

is it true that with 3.71m33-2 and -3 the module folder is called podule

[bigdaddie]

I can't seem to find the recovery.prx in flash0:? Is it possible to use a recovery eboot like with the previous cfw?

[nknave]

Awsome release (pops loader :) )

@Dark_Alex

I have one main question.
- Why are all your updates are in must use the "UPDATE" folder in order to launch?

You see, I like to have this and 1.5 kernel add-on in the same memory stick for usage on other psps, but due to the fact both of these use the same folder, I have to use filer or on a pc to rename folders to use either of the updates.

I remember before..... "M33UPDATE", "M33UPDATE4", etc...

Thx.

[satel]

D_A is the Best.thanks very much for all your work ;)

[B2K24]

@Dark_Alex

I have one main question.
- Why are all your updates are in must use the "UPDATE" folder in order to launch?

You see, I like to have this and 1.5 kernel add-on in the same memory stick for usage on other psps, but due to the fact both of these use the same folder, I have to use filer or on a pc to rename folders to use either of the updates.

I remember before..... "M33UPDATE", "M33UPDATE4", etc...

Thx.

OMFG why don't you rename 1 folder before you put to stick wtf stop complaining

[KaOs_Psp]

Thax AleX!! Your the best!
also i finally get the Remote Start to work.
It does not show in the XMB but if i connect to the PS3 it turn on!

[Galagher]

You'd have to have been on 3.60 M33 (slim) and backed up your flash. Luckily I did just that. :D

Pleeeeese give me 3.60 pops!!! Is it working?

[nknave]

OMFG why don't you rename 1 folder before you put to stick wtf stop complaining

Go **** your self and your mother's rotten *****.

I WASN'T COMPLAINING!!!! BITTER FUCKER!!!

I WAS ASKING A QUESTION............YOU HAVE A SOLUTION, POST IT, DON'T *****.

[Sinar]

thanks DA another perfect release.

[Dark_AleX]

Thank you dark_alex for your update


I have a question about pops though... if 3.60 is supported how would you go about getting the prxs if there is no eboot? ok im done.

3.60 pops is not supported. Anyways, it is the same as 3.51 one, not a big loss.

[battosai121]

3.60 pops is not supported. Anyways, it is the same as 3.51 one, not a big loss.

oh ok, thanks for da info:D and thank you for your awesome firmware

[satel]

i understand this new Popsloader plugin is for ps1 games but i thought m33 3.71-2 can already run ps1 games ??

[Dark_AleX]

Dark_AleX, adding the following lines to loadprx sample from hensdk made OE no-umd mode work for games that previously only ran on UMD required mode

pspSdkInstallNoDeviceCheckPatch();
pspSdkInstallNoPlainModuleCheckPatch();

It works on 3.52 M33-4 but on 3.71 it doesn't. Are these functions broken on 3.71?

Any chance including an updated loadmodule/loadprx sample for m33 and/or np9660? :D

Those functions should never be used in 2.00+ programming, they have bad consequences in them.
What they did in 1.00 and 1.50 is done by the cfw core in the more complicated way that new firmwares require.

[becus25]

Thanks again Alex :D

[battosai121]

i understand this new Popsloader plugin is for ps1 games but i thought m33 3.71-2 can already run ps1 games ??

some games work better on older pops vs, for example breath of fire 4 works up to 3.40 pops but no higher, so this enables games to be played that normaly couldnt be on this vs of pops

[Flex2006]

U da man!

Respect o prince of darkness.

[Ryupower]

i understand this new Popsloader plugin is for ps1 games but i thought m33 3.71-2 can already run ps1 games ??

the Popsloader plugin
is for loader DIFFERENT versions of the pops
some games run better on older pops version
and
we can use 3.72 pops on 3.71 m33-3

[Makaveddie]

I enabled the popsloader in the recovery menu, I copied the correct popsloader pack over, yet I can't get the popsloader menu to load... You're supposed to hold the R button when loading the psx game, right?

Here's something really funny... Resident Evil 2 now works fine, whereas before it didn't work at all. I didn't change anything else!

Edit: Got the menu to pop up... I had to disable CWCHEAT. It still doesn't explain why RE2 wasn't working and now it is??!?

[Galagher]

3.60 pops is not supported. Anyways, it is the same as 3.51 one, not a big loss.

So 3.50 and 3.70 are the same as 3.51 and 3.71? And are not supported?

[Roamin]

Ok here's is to anyone not getting the plugin to work

THE FILE POPS.TXT NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR seplugin FOLDER

This is what tells the recovery where to find a plugin.

Perhaps Dark_Alex could edit is first post of this thread to make that notice.

Now if RE2 now works , it is using the default firmware pops , which should be 3.71? Because to use the 3.72 , you'll have to select first in the menu.

So i'm guessing RE2 works since 3.71.

[Squirrel61]

Thanks a lot for another nice release and for not letting us alone!

[theglow]

Twice now.
I get it to 3.71 m33 v3.
I format flash1 to make it nice n neat. Bricked.
Im guessing dont format flash1 anymore?

And jasonuks extended pandora flash1 fix didnt do anything either.
Just turns on black screen forever.

When i do it in recovery it says restarting, then pops up, I get the psp blue screen saying press circle.
Then turns off and thatsi t.
Also if i restore from nand, my ipl and mac is nuked, so I have to do a full restore

Another odd thing, when i restore full nand and ipl, when its done the psp goes into a reboot circle. Until i boot into recovery, then format flash1

[satel]

some games work better on older pops vs, for example breath of fire 4 works up to 3.40 pops but no higher, so this enables games to be played that normaly couldnt be on this vs of pops

oh i see , thanks for the reply ;)


& thanks to Ryupower too ;)

[Makaveddie]

Let me clarify...

Resident Evil 2 didn't work at all in 3.71m33-2. Now it works perfectly without changing anything... in other words, on 3.71 pops. It even works with popsloader disabled!?!

Anyway, I'm really happy it's working, but I was just wondering if there was some other explanation... maybe 3.71 pops was patched?

[MilkyJoe]

Thanks Dark Alex for your continued support on PSP custom firmware, you are indeed the legend of the scene.

I remember reading a post of your's explaining that it's possible to get the remote play working like v3.72, could you or someone else explain how it's done in fairly noob terms (i.e. what programs I'll need etc..)?

Just asking this because since I updated my PS3 to v2.00 I cannot use Remote Play at all now and I used it an awful lot :(

[duckbuster]

thanks for the pops loader, going to test that right now!

[theglow]

ok, skip sony logo isnt working for me either...

[Roamin]

Am i the only one who has sound issues when using pops from 3.72 eboot?

I am playing FF7 (as always) and only updated from 3.52 to 3.71-3 today, Because i was curious to test 3.72 for multi-disc. (I play ff7 on 3.30) Someone also said that the filtering might have changed , making it look good in a bigger screen mode. I personally don't see a difference there.


The moment the PSX logo appears , the chime sounds horrible, then does everything else in the game. Could be isolated to FF7 game id only? Or do you guys play other games that don't sound good?

[duckbuster]

Just asking this because since I updated my PS3 to v2.00 I cannot use Remote Play at all now and I used it an awful lot :(
posted lot of times...


Download ofw 3.72
Download M33_NEWPSARDUMPER (http://exophase.com/psp/download/M33_NEWPSARDUMPER.zip)
Open USB Connection and put 3.72 eboot (rename it to UPDATE.PBP) in root of mem stick
Put PSARDUMPER in Game (3.71 kernal)
Run Psardumper
Press Square
After it's done dumping, open USB Connection and copy premo_plugin.prx (f0\vsh\module) and premo_plugin.rco (f0\vsh\resource) and paste them somewhere for safe keeping
You can delete the folder now.
Open recovery menu on PSP (right bumper and turn on with PSP still connected to PC)
Go to advanced
Select Toggle USB (flash0)
A new window should pop up on your PC
Make sure you have hidden files and system files viewable
Replace premo_plugin.prx (vsh\module) and premo_plugin.rco (vsh\resource) with the ones you copied
Select Toggle USB (flash0) to disable
Restart PSP


this is from SteamPirate :)

[theglow]

Ok, Im guessing my psps flash1 is broken.
I turned on skip sony logo, didnt work. turned off, on, didnt work.
I try the new recovery plugin.
I see option to disable updates.
I turn it on and hit network update thinking it wouldnt work.
So it popped up asking for a connection. I cancel and go to turn the recovery option off. Open recovery, freezes my psp.
i reboot, thinkin that didnt do anything. i turn off the recovery option. and close recovery pluging. check netconnection again, still asked for connection. I go to open recovery again, froze.
I reboot again, NOW its skipping the sony logo...
Good thing i got a bbuy warranty

[Sm0k3d 0uT]

thanks for the update and the pops loader Dark Alex. Keep The scene moving.

[irulethegalaxy]

Okay, I've been reading through the messages, and it appears that this really is truly for the slim as well!! I am so excited I can barely contain myself :D :D :D :D (and then some more smileys)

Dark Alex, I wanna knit you some socks or a scarf or something. To really show the love :).

Now, can someone link me to a good noob-proof guide for how to get all the pops stuff ready? Last time I just used an easy loader . . . and I am not terribly technically minded (see above comment re: knitting socks!)

[djkatarat]

nice, the simpsons game was also fixed using m33 driver now (before u had to use NP9660)

[dodswm]

thanks v.much d.a :D

[Dan4o2]

Thanks again DAX !
Even if don't play PS1 games and I only have a Phat...
3.xx kernel seems to be a bit more useable.
S&L RAM also seems to be more and more useable.



I format flash1 to make it nice n neat. Bricked.
Im guessing dont format flash1 anymore?
The "format flash1" option only formats flash1 and does not create dirs.
Since 3.70 (3.60 ?), when booting without dirs, it seems dirs are created, but a bug in Sony code makes the reboot function (when pushing O) not working and, even more dangerous, it seems it must reaccess flash1 and it hangs and that write access during hanging destroys flash1 partition. You only have not to push O and reboot manually.
But you don't have to format flash1 at every update ! It is even more useless as there are no changes in the main core that can affect flash1 (still 3.71 kernel).
When you have a part of lflash destroyed, you can use nandTool from cory1492 to format lflash (and then reinstall a firmware to your PSP) or write a good lflash from a nand dump.

[_b_]

nice!
Thanx a lot for continuing your work. You made my psp a cool device!
Keep rockin...

[StoneCut]

Excellent, POPSloader is back. Many thanks Dark_AleX !

[knuckles84]

Very, very, very, very, very, very, THANKS Dark-Alex, everything works great!!!

Only one question: hellDashX have sad that the HX version is the same as the M33-2 only with the 3.72 kernel! So i have test to install the HX version and after replace the vshcrtl.prx from the M33-2 version(to make the installer thinking that i am on M33). And than i would test to install the M33-3 over, and after the the kernel1.5 patch, but everthing crash.
So wat can be the problem? I now you won't release a 3.72M33 but is it possible to copy/past a 3.71M33-3 with the 3.72kernel manually (at my one risks!!)

[mallinersha]

I can't connect to remote play, says I need to update the PSP.. What am I not doing right?

Thanks D_A

[EDIT] - Sorry just read through the forum for answer.... :o

[perimbean]

Thanks for the hard work DA!

You're the best!

Do I have to install 150kernel_addon2 again after 3.71 M33-3

[Abaddon666]

Let me clarify...

Anyway, I'm really happy it's working, but I was just wondering if there was some other explanation... maybe 3.71 pops was patched?

Does it work beyond entering the police station? For me it stops working there for both discs, just a black screen and background music playing. If you have the same problem, which popstations version should I use for RE2 ?

[Dark_AleX]

Nop, not needed.

[Makaveddie]

I don't know, I just started from a savespot...

Did you make sure to change the gameid to the japanese bioshock 2?

[frodo32]

Thank you Dark Alex for this update

Its truly wonderful to have all the pops versions supported on 3.71.

I appreciate the work involved in this given your earlier posts about the changes Sony made that prevented popsloader from working.

Your dedication is an example to us all.

[mallinersha]

I can't access Flash0, :mad:

Gone to advanced in revovery menu,

Select Toggle USB (flash0)

All hidden files and folders are enabled on my PC.... but it just keeps coming up with 'Please insert disc into drive H' when it pops up on my computer.

Any help????

TIA.

[neogodspeed]

Is someone able to post all the needed prx's please that would go in the ---> "FOLDER" seplugins\popsloader\ Please TY...:D

[firaX]

Its not legal to do so, just do it yourself, with the new psardumpers its really easy, Eboot in mem stick root, decrypt with square button, copy files over, rename, repeat...i know takes long but once you have them all done you dont need to do it again.

i need a lil help here. never messed with PRXs or POPS before...
i did use psardumper, i had a F0 folder in MS root. i moved it to pc. then what i am gonna do? copy files where? do i need to change .txt file in seplugins folder? what i need to rename PRXs to? repeat what?
yeah i am that slow..

Read the readme of the dark-alex.org "popsloader w/ all pops compatible". thats the 3.52 release, it has it pretty much with a good guide.
But i can tell you too,
F0 folder on PC is fine, now what you do is, browse the folders for the files mentioned in the readme, vsh/modules/pops.prx popsman.prx etc. , its 4 files for the new versions, and 3 for the old. Please read the readme , i dont have the names in my head right now. Just copy these files over to the popsloader folder, RENAME them to pops372.prx (for example) where 372 is the firmware version. all 4 files of 3.72 for example get a 372 added after their name (before the .prx). Once thats done, decrypt the other versions and do the same (for example pops352.prx etc). When thats done the sefolder also needs a pops.txt including the ms0 line so the recovery menu can recognize the popsloader.prx module, only need the line ONCE, then activate it in recovery.

so, i am to decrypt 3.00 and get kd/popsman.prx, kd/meaudio.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx renamed to kd/popsman300.prx, kd/meaudio300.prx, kd/pops300.prx, vsh/module/pafmini300.prx
then do same for 3.10
then 3.72
and stick 'em in seplugins folder, edit txt file with ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx, enable it from recovery and viola! right?
1 thing tough, i did decrypt 3.72 but i dont have a kd/meaudio.prx, i have a kd/msaudio.prx. is that a typo on D_A's side or did it somehow screw up on me?

Ahh ok. Well I thought my flash1 was messed up because my Skip sony logo didnt work.
Then all of a sudden after recovery prx froze, It worked. So I was wondering if my flash1 wasnt saving the setting properly.
So I disabled the skip sony logo and then it disabled it. But all my plugins were disabled. So i enable it, and STILL has the sony logo. I dont know why this wont stick.

[Rudy_Man]

Thanks you Alex, for all. You work is the best.

Very, very, very, very, very, very, THANKS Dark-Alex, everything works great!!!

Only one question: hellDashX have sad that the HX version is the same as the M33-2 only with the 3.72 kernel! So i have test to install the HX version and after replace the vshcrtl.prx from the M33-2 version(to make the installer thinking that i am on M33). And than i would test to install the M33-3 over, and after the the kernel1.5 patch, but everthing crash.
So wat can be the problem? I now you won't release a 3.72M33 but is it possible to copy/past a 3.71M33-3 with the 3.72kernel manually (at my one risks!!)

It doesn't work because the vshctrl isn't hexed with the new addresses, as it was in 3.72 HX-1.

If you are going to swap files around, you might aswell just copy the premo_plugin stuff for remote play into 3.71 M33-3 - better to be on a complete firmware than a hack job.

[Illegal Machine]

As always I appreciate a good update.. but there are some things I don't understand.


Some of my .CSO files that used to work under 3.52 M33-4 no longer work under any setting.. things like platypus, GO! Sudoku, Deluxe Puzzle Bobble, and a few others. I can't seem to get castlevania to run either..


is there any explanation for this?? I know at least why my Strider 2 PSX stopped working.. but why would a CSO lose compatibility? and I see that these games are all listed as working in the compatibility thread.. so whats the problem?


other than that, everything is working smoothly.. thanks for another update!

[fhqwgad]

is it true that with 3.71m33-2 and -3 the module folder is called podule

I would also like to know this.
How would I go about installing a theme (K5 for 3.71M33)?
Is it any different from 3.52M33 as I just upgraded from that?

Edit: NVM I figured it out.

No, it isn't. podule is for 1.50 kernel.

If you unhide the folders, you'll see that module is also there.

just a quick question:

if i already fixed the usb flashing and have no desire for pops loader, is there any reason to install this?

That's odd. They work here. Try with some other memory stick to see if that's the problem. Be careful with plugins too.

[p$p b0y]

p$p b0y, I don't get your point. This update takes only a second, so why not to instal it? ;)

cause i have 2 mem sticks, one MSPD for pandora + 3.71m33 install, and another with the 1.5 patch on it, and it would mean swapping the 1.5 patch for the m33-3 update (the other MS is full) :p also chuck in a little bit of lazyness and viola, you have me :p

[Bon Scott]

Dark_Alex RULEZZZZZZZZ!

[seferismo]

Cool! i still update my psp with DAX updates rather than those 3.72's

DAX, thanks for some bug fixing... although i dont have problems so far with the M33 updates. hope to hear from you soon...

[Yoreo]

Sadly if you rename the folder from "UPDATE", it will show as a corrupt icon. Unfortunately both the 1.50 installer and the 3.71 M33-3 patch come in an "UPDATE" folder.

Like you, I was hoping to have both this update, and the 1.50 kernel patch on my DC3 stick. I guess I'll just have to throw it on another stick though.

[Juniorflip]

Is anyone else who is trying to do Remote Play getting a PSP update request. I have replace my premo prx and rco yet when I try to remote play I get a PSP update request. Is there any solution around this?

Figure it out Yay for m33

[theglow]

Anyone have any idea why Skip Sony logo isnt working for me? I enable, nothing. I disable , nothing.
I put it on my friends psp, works no problem..
Im just puzzled.
From what I know config.se in flash1 holds the recovery settings and conf.bin in seplugins for the plugins, correct?

Whooooppiiiieeeee!!!!

Popsloader works a treat on my Slim!!!!!!! Can't wait to try out Chrono Cross (for that "real" confirmation)!!!!

DA, you're the best. Seriously . . . you want me to knit you some socks? Mittens?

I'm so happy :) :D

[B2K24]

I was wondering how to get around this too. Sadly if you rename the folder from "UPDATE", it will show as a corrupt icon. Unfortunately both the 1.50 installer and the 3.71 M33-3 patch come in an "UPDATE" folder.

Like you, I was hoping to have both this update, and the 1.50 kernel patch on my DC3 stick. I guess I'll just have to throw it on another stick though.

You don't need the kernel patch if installing 3.71 M33-3
so get rid of the kernel patch

Anyone have any idea why Skip Sony logo isnt working for me? I enable, nothing. I disable , nothing.
I put it on my friends psp, works no problem..
Im just puzzled.
From what I know config.se in flash1 holds the recovery settings and conf.bin in seplugins for the plugins, correct?
I delete config.se and Its still not by passing...
Only did one time....

I take that back. Disabled, reenabled on my friends psp and his doesnt skip any more either

i have no idea why but i guess i know teh solution.
enable skip sony logo at recovery, exit, when psp restarts watch for Memory Stick led, when it flashes first time hold R. you wont enter recovery but skip logo will work. that is till you enter recovery again. then you need to do this again.

[cyclonmaster]

Where do I get this?


List of files needed for each version:

3.00-3.03: kd/popsman.prx, kd/meaudio.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
3.10-3.30: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
3.40-3.72: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx, vsh/module/libpspvmc.prx

Do I need to flash my PSP to each version CFW from 3.00 - 3.72 to get those files? Any other way and guide?

You simply need 'New PSAR Dumper' to dump the original 'firmware eboots'.

-Go here to get 'New PSAR Dumper'
http://dark-alex.org/index.php?Dark_Alex=m33

-Go here to get the 'Firmware EBOOTS'
http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/36

-Put New PSAR Dumper into the game3xx folder, and the EBOOT on the root of your memorystick. Push Square to decrypt.

-you will now have the dumped firmware on your memstick in the F0 Folder.

-search for the listed prx's.

-one EBOOT at a time, rename needed prx's with the version # that you dumped

-enjoy all versions of pops.

Top quality as always!

Thank you Dark_AleX!! Thank you for the PSP that we all have.

Thanks Dark_AleX!

Just upgraded my Slim PSP and this is a wonderful release. The popsloader is great. Its just a shame that 3.72 POPS didn't seem to improve on much and has stopped some games from working properly. I'm having the best luck with 3.40 POPS files so far.

And that annoying brightness going up/down when you start/exit a PSX game is still there. But that is something with SONY's code right?

And now that its even easier for developers to allocate more RAM, I am very excited to see what may lie in store for future homebrew & emulators.

[orion001]

is there any 1.50 add on? cuz i just updated and some of my homebrews doesnt work for me... tnx alot.

btw tnx DA for the update. :)

Since I did a stupid thing and updated to 3.72 H-X when it appeared that you hadn't retired afterall, would it be possible to make your own version of 3.72 that you could upgrade over the top of the H-X version, as soon as you can, for those who don't wish to downgrade because of a higher risk compared to when you upgrade, and for those who can't afford either a premade or the items for an Pandora?

I think yours are better thats all, and if you're not retiring I wish to continue supporting the best Custom Firmware around in M33, although I use the M33 term loosely because the rest of the team had probably most definitely retired. :cool:

sucks to be you then n00b, your gonna have to wait and see if anything happens next, DAX has already stated there is no point in making a 3.72 cfw due to the fact there are no kernal differences in the firmwares

Its posts like your own that dev's don't like, stupid requests by people who want **** handed to them on a plate; there are ways outta your predicament, your PSP isn't dependant on DAX releasing a 3.72 cfw just because you upgraded to an unknown firmware.

Also, downgrading is no riskier than upgrading, you wouldn't be using a downgrader perse; more one of the recovery packages which use the same flash process to both downgrade and upgrade

Bit more reading next time eh?

I have a ps3 running fw 2.0, my psp is running 3.52 atm. When tried to connect the psp to ps3 it worked fine but remote play didnt work it gave me some message to say i needed to update my psp fw. Can anyone tell me what firmware on psp works with ps3 fw 2.0?

And also if i can do a straight update to 3.72 m33-3?

thanks a lot

Can anybody help me because if i exit a game via Home button the psp hang off.

Nah, I'm not really dependant on anything, it's just that I now have to find Slim emulators after that because of no 1.50 core.

I also said the fingers crossed part loosely as with any other situration like this, so no I'm not expecting another Firmware handed to me on a plate, just the later 4.00 or whatever is next for DAX being upgradeable from the 3.72 HX firmware as well as DAX's original 3.71 editions, like with upgrading from OE to M33 in the past, as well as from the early M33 versions.

Stuff like Pandora comes at a cost to either buy some equipment for one or to buy a ready made one.

You obviously already have a psp, running custom firmware so what extra cost is a pandora? You've got a psp, a memory stick and a battery. No ened to pay for anything else.

Since you already on 3.72 HX you can use cory149's ospbt 0.3 to create the battery & use DAX's despertar del cementerio v3 to create the memory stick to downgrade to 3.71 M33-2 so I don't see what is the fuss :)

disconnect PSP from PC and reinsert memstick. connect PSP to PC again.
put all firmwares 340.PBP, 1.50.PBP, 3.71.PBP on root of memstick.
create PSP\GAME\ and put cementerio 3 file there. also create ISO\ just for making sure.
launch cementerio 3. it will create ipl.
install ipl with msinst which comes with first pandora.

now, put cory's tool in PSP\GAME and create pandora battery.
Remember to backup battery eeprom before create the battery
tala your done!

To make battery normal - take out battery & boot up with power adapter
Put back the battery back once PSP is boot up
Run cory's tool and restore the serial no :)

Thank you Dark_AleX for your hard work ;)

There is still a weird bug with the m33 firmware, some game isos produce corrupted savedata each time they try to save. I currently found 3 games that produce this bug: hot shot golf (EU US and JP versions) final fantasy 1 anniversary (US and JP) and outrun 2006. This is not a problem of bad isos it seems. I successfully loaded savedata that I grabbed from the net but when the game saves over it, it becomes corrupt.

Tested on a fat and a slim psp with 3.71 m33-3 firmware and a formated memory stick.

Hope it will help

sorry it is running the latest M33-3 firmware - I got it new when it was released - a shiny new 1.50 PSP (ah the memories!).

You're welcome

Illegal Machine did you fix or find out what the problem with your .cso files was? Also what exactly happens? does it show up as a corrupt icon, or when you choose the cso file it simply doesn't load or does it show up at all? I am having trouble with cso's now too. Not sure if it's a problem with the upgrade or the cso as I've never used this particular cso before.

nevermind my question - I am being really stupid considering I have been doing this since the first CFW was released!!!

i've figured it out, i wasn't pressing it before flipping the switch, was holding it from the SCE screen! D'OH!!!!

well, it can't be the card.. as Dax suggested, because those same games used to work when I was on 3.52 M33-4 with the same card. which is a sony 8 Gb that I bought at Best Buy (so I know its legit)

So I can't imagine what the problem could be. the majority of my favorite .cso files work.. and work well on the M33 driver.. I haven't had as much luck with the Sony np driver because namco museum doesn't load with it

Im at a loss on that one.. but its a small issue compared to my decision to reflash the premo .prx and .rco in an attempt to gain remote play functionality on my slim.


I really wish DAX would consider the loss of remote play functionality as a more important issue, and release 3.72 M33

Ha ha sorry I quoted the wrong post. But anyways, it was about the cso's. So far it only seems to be the one cso for me. The worst thing is that I downloaded it a while ago and never used it so I don't know if it ever worked and can't get it again as the file name is not the game name so I haven't a clue what it even is .

AleX: A simple thanks but a deep appreciation :)

[luichi]

LIke i said in a post there are bugs on 3.71 m33-2 that are found in 3.71 m33-3 too:


Hi, I found some problems in 3.71 m33-2:

- If you open the web browser and you close it if you press select it dosen't apper VSH menu to solve this you have to click in one of the icons that have subicons (for example in game you have have to click on memory stick to solve it or in pictures you have to click on memory stick to solve it)

-In VSH there are some speeds like for example if you have change the speed of XMB to 222 MHZ and 75/37 on in the speed of GAME and you close it and you open it again you can't change the speed of GAME or the usb device.

- If you disable the option to charge the opening_plugin.rco at startup and you enter to the recovery and you close it it charges the opening_plugin.rco.

· There are some combinations of XMB speed and GAME speed that, depend of the situation, if you press on the VSH reset device it closes the VSH and it dosen't restart or it the PSP freezes. It freezes too if you click on iso video mount (in my case i don't have any). For example if you have 333 mhz on xmb speed and 100 in game if you change on of them and click reset device it closes the vsh and dosen't restart and if you close the vsh any of the speed you put it wouldn't restart the device trought the VSH.


· And another that is also in two versions: but i don't know if it's a bug: If you put a low velocity like 20/10 in xmb if you run a game or a hombrew the sound that sounds when you are on the white screen that says PSP it sounds twice.

Bye :)

Maybe on the Slim it'd be possible to keep it accessible :p


-In VSH there are some speeds like for example if you have chan the speed of XMB to 222 MHZ and 75/37 on in the speed of GAME and you close it and you open it again you can change the speed of GAME or the usb device.I think you mean the vshmenu will not reopen after you set the CPU to a certain speed, which I dunno about :p


- If you disable the option to charge the opening_plugin.rco at startup and you enter to the recovery and you close it it charges the opening_plugin.rco.I assume you are talking about "Skip SCE intro". Indeed, it hasn't been working properly since 3.71 M33. But, if you press R just after the memory stick flashes and before the VSH appears, it skips the menu and continues to skip it until you change a recovery option.
