 Posted: Sun, 23rd Sep 2007 22:02 Post subject: [PSP] 3.71 M33=Dark Alex CUSTOM FIRMWARE RELEASED |
|
 |
| Code: | 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. |

So it seems M33 was Dark Alex after all.... 
WARNING:
THERE SEEMS TO BE A BUG ON SOME PSPS WHEN CLICKING ON THEME SETTINGS WHICH GIVES AN ERROR AND THEN BRICKS.
Bricked mine twice and has also bricked some over at maxconsole.
If you are going to upgrade make sure you have a pandora available..

Holding off on update, no real reason to update just yet... We'll see if Final Fantasy Tactics requires 3.71, THEN I will update. 
Hope that bug gets resolved though.

Uh about 90% of all homebrew out there...A 1.5 kernel patch should be released in a few days according to DA so we should be fine.

plz tell me how you did it. Installed 3.71 then the 1.50 addon. Then I copied all files from irshell.org to the PSP root. Then I rebooted into recovery mode, went to plugins and enabled irshell something. Then exit recovery. MY psp then turns on, does a sound like its reading the mem stick and turns off. I could nt do anything after that without removing the stick and formatting it. So whats the right way to install irshell?

|
|
I'm running 3.71 M33-2 on a PSP Slim. Has anyone had any problems with there video-out option..? Mine will not work at all. All I get is audio from the Right Speaker Channel. I have a HDTV so using the progessive scan option should work as it does on my xbox and PS2. I am using a switch box but I removed it and hooked the cables directly to the TV and I get the same problem. Does the custom firmware affect the TV-Out option on the slim..? Or should it work...?
I went back to EB and told them my cables were bad, so they gave me new ones and I have the same problem. Now I'm thinking about taking the PSP back and see if they give me a new one.
UPDATE: I guess I bricked it. I turn on the power and get nothing. Just a black screen with a green light. Now I will have to take it back and I can just use the excuse "It won't come on...I don't know what happened.."

Yeah..I already have a Pandora Battery but the PSP was only 5 Days old. I took it back and swapped it with a new one.
When I get home I'm going to try the TV-Out on a non-modded one. If it works it's the firmware causing the problem. If it still doesn't work it's my TV.
I highly doubt it's my TV since my Xbox1, 360 & PS2 all use component cables and I've never had a problem.
