PSP Custom Firmware 3.52-M33-4 Released
by Mike Bendel on August 20, 2007 @ 1:39 pm
Not even a full day after 3.52-M33-3 was released, the team is back with the fourth update to its 3.52 custom firmware series, fixing some minor bugs.
IMPORTANT: agree with LICENSE.TXT conditions before installing the program.
Changes in M33-4 (mainly bugfix)
- Fixed the bug that caused CRC error when writing to flash usb in the XMB. Now writing
is OK.
- Added the new speeds to vshmenu and core, because we forgot in recovery.AS we didnn’t want to release a new update without something new, we worked in making
3.10/3.11 to work with popsloader, and that’s it, the new popsloader plugins supports them.
Instruction for 3.10 and 3.11 are same as 3.30: you need pops.prx, popsman.prx and pafmini.prx
with the correct names in popsloader directory. And remember that savedata of 3.10-3.30 are incompatible
with those of 3.40+. We’ll research if a solution for this is possible.Team M33
———————————————————————————————
As for yankee paranoids, a little word about the “brickers” issue.
We repeat it again: THERE IS NO MALICIOUS CODE inside M33.
Some of the files of this update are protected by encryption schemes to protect ourselves
from that page that annoys homebrew developers.
The keys for the decryption: the own update file.
So if the file is changed, the decrypted data is not the original one, and this causes the
wrong data to be written. There is no way you can call this malicious code as there is no explicit
code to brick nothing, it is the corruption of the update what actually causes the bad decrypted
data to be written.Anyways in this update we check if decrypted data is wrong and in that case we write a recovery
warning the user what happened. It will activate usb, and it will allow you to execute a recovery
eboot.pbp… in a curious path (“ms0:/PSP/GAME/PS3NEWS_ARE_STEALERS_I_AM_NOT_GONNA_VISIT_THEM/EBOOT.PBP”)
which is not at sight of an hex editor ;)If you visited ps3news and bricked in last release, then blame his administrator.
He is the one that modified the files and had them in the server for lots of hours
knowing the consequences.As this person doesn’t care about publishing homebrew coders personal info because he thinks he’s
funny and hursh doing that, we dont think he will mind either that we “leak” his data :)
After all is nformation that can be obtained publically.
Remember, you must be running any previous version of 3.52 M33 to apply this update. To install the update, just copy over the PSP folder contained in the archive to your memory stick, then navigate to the Game menu and execute the update.
