3.71M33

[HM33]

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.

Dark_AleX/M33,
It's sad to hear that your quitting because of some 12 year olds that have no fucking life. Thanks for the CFW and I hope you re-think your decision, a lot of us are not assholes like them.

[SchmilK]

[UncertainGod]

Thank you so much for all of your work D_A, I really hope you don't leave the scene as alot of us wouldn't even bother with the PSP if it wasn't for your work.

[raynwafu]

hello

i hope Dark_Alex can read this im kinda blown away what has happened
D_A = M33
by the way we owe a lot to this dedicated programmer who in his spare or maybe busy time from his work/job/activities he still manage to do us gudthings but in return did we ever think the other way around haiz.
i hope we all can learn something we realy OWE a lot of respect and apologies to D_A in my turn i salute u Dark_Alex and your works is very much appreciated by the scene i think this things making me cry i wish you all the best in life Alejandro -_-

[NakedFaerie]

Awesome work D_A :)

[TheeGravedigger]

Okay, my first instinct was that this was a scam, but it now appears to be legit. Here I thought someone had hijacked the M33 server, loaded up a nasty clone site with a fake update to brick them all.

Damn, maybe I'm paranoid. But that seemed more likely than Dark Alex being M33.

[froggie22]

good stuff D_A.. u deserve so much respect from the scene and from anyone who has seen your work. the dickheads that dont give a shit should stop useing ur cfw that you worked so hard on. good luck with whatever you do in the future. you what MADE the psp scene so big. thanks

[Annama]

ThanX! M33 = DAX LOL

[PiZ_Inc]

IT'S XMAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank U DAX .... or M33 ...... or BOTH ....... :D

[LLlnpoT]

Big thanks, Dark M33 =)

[NeXaR]

Sorry but I have to say this in spanish xD

Alex, muchнsimas gracias por el CFW 3.71; tu trabajo es genial, como siempre. Si por casualidad vivieras cerca de Ciudad Real, estбs invitado a unas caсas a mi cuenta cuando quieras ;)

[samad786]

I've just upgraded from 3.52-4 on a ta-82 mobo and it all works fine just the 1.50 doesn't work obviously GO DAX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dark-Alex]

My official site is darkalex.org not m33.narod.ru

DO NOT USE THIS FIRMWARE! THIS FIRMWARE IS NOT READY TO USE!
HM33 is not a coder of m33 firmwares!

[crcro]

on your web site dark-alex.org there is a link to the 3.71M33 CFW .. i've installed it and my wifi doesn't work a friend of mine bricked his psp after updating... so what's the truth .. i'm not accusing or something but it was nice before please .. if this is the end don't smash all the beauty till now! respect DaX / M33

... i really really hope that it wasn't DaX!

[isohunt]

Many Thanks Dark Alex

[HM33]

lol at that guy with nick Dark-AleX... he won't register here with that nick never, as this account talks for him and the rest of the M33 Team. :)

We have taken good note from those errors that people have posted here and other forums. Even though, much "bricks" have come because some ppl have not read that "requirements" section from the readme, as it usual.

Unbricker will be released soon for the ones that have got some update errors and to use it on slim&fat.

Also, answering some questions, 1.50kernel patch will be just done for fat psp, plugins problems are about the kernel identifier apis (luckily psardumper is not affected :P), and all the rest stuff will be studied, but, as you have read on the readme, after that 2 new releases, no more will be released from M33.

[Evolution 619]

I wonder who is going to takeover for 3.72 plus?

I like my PSP as updated as possible, and of course customised.

Fingers crossed for another gimmick name by Dark Alex or at least the rest of the M33 crew without him under a different name lol. :p
Also fingers crossed that the bugfixes in this kinda rushed version gets addressed "As bugfix release updates 1, 2, 3, 4 ect." before DAX quits.

[MiNo5400]

M33, why do you want to quit your "job"?
What shall we all do without you?
Please do not quit! Please countinue your great work!

Best wishes and thx,
MiNo from Austria

- 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.


I don't really understand..
1. U mean copy the update folder in the release.rar and paste it to the /PSP/GAME/UPDATE?
2. In the update folder, there is a EBoot.pbp, is it rename to 371.pbp or go sony website and download the 3.71 OFW and rename to 371.pbp?
3. Is the 371.pbp put in the update folder?

Thanks.. I'm new to PSP

[DerekGT-R]

Many thanks to Dark-AleX for providing us heaven in the PSP.

Congrats to you and may God bless you. :)
