Is this update only for the PSP Slim units?

The update works on both, regular PSPs just don't get the USB charge feature.

"Note about two bugs remaining:

The WLAN network error, and the PSP Slim psx game change of brightness.

These two bugs are copyright of Sony :) happens too in OFW.

The WLAN network happens when there is no network available, so not a big problem."

...OH! So THATS why it gave me an error when trying to search for new wifi locations... Only way around it was to pull the memory stick, and then search.. Kind of glad I downgraded back to 3.52M33.

Also, I am a little uneasy with the system being patched so that data executed from PSP/GAME/UPDATE will always be 3.71M33, as it circumvents current methods of downgradeing to 1.50 via 3.71M33 XMB. I'd personally like to know why that was done...

Probably because you can't go to 1.50 on a Slim, so the recovery on a Slim would have to be either 3.60M33 (which can't be done on a Phat AFAIK) so the only global option thus far is 3.71M33.:) Keeping everything consistent.

Only one update must be applied to the regular PSPs? Is it the 3.71 M33-2 Update or the 1.50 Kernel Patch Version 2?

The 1.50 kernel patch is not required, it is optional and allows regular PSP users to run 1.50 kernel homebrew on 3.71 M33. However it is strongly recommended that you install the 3.71 M33-2 update.

Must I install 1.50 Kernel before installing add-on 2 to apply all function? thanks

awesome :)

thanks dax!

@dmhchew: nope, just install version 2.

Thanks:biggrin:

im on 3.71 m33 and just updated with first add on kernel...how im going to this "If you have 1.50 addon, make sure you have the kernel of game folder configured to 3.71, or the

program will not even start." please help

In recovery mode (hold R during boot to enter), there is an option to set the GAME folder homebrew. By default it should already be 3.71, but if you changed it, then switch it back to 3.71.

i was to update to 3.71 m33-2, before i th update my kernel was on 3.71. now when im trying to update to 2nd add on of kernel 1.50 i go tthis message "incorrect or inexistent 150.PBP at the root" i put the program t program to /PSP/GAME/UPDATE

Then download the 150.PBP here:

http://72.29.74.204/~exophase/external/150.PBP

and place it on the memory stick root. Root being X:/

thanks a lot i'm good. appreciate everything more power to exophase

thanks again, DA

Is the usb charge a hardware or software based? If the latter then is it possible? Thanks Dax.

I was kinda hoping for fixes for some prx's, naming popsloader. Patience...

i cant load any hombrew games with this 3.52m33-4 it just loads the umd i have in my psp and with out a umd an error pops up. i tried 2 update 2 version 3.71m33 but it says i need fimware 3.52m33-3 or higher and i currently have 3.52m33-4 can some1 help

srry forgot 2 add, wat does it mean in the 3.71m33-2 instructions were it says

"If you are in the fat psp, make sure you have configured the psp to run the game folder in the 3.XX kernel"

Press R during bootup to enter Recovery mode and enter Configuration to make sure that the Game folder homebrew kernel is set to 3.X

I updated to 1.5 kernel v2, and i still have the problem.

In fact, i started to have the ipl problem AFTER i installed v2.

Tried three memory sticks, tried to reinstalled 3.71M33, same thing.

One of the oddest moments... lol

Any help would be appreciated.:D

Just installed it a few days ago, and it works great! Almost all my homebrew works now (except gPSP, which I can get to work with eLoader). Maybe we should start a PayPal account so we can all chip in and buy DarkAlex a drink. :)

Just get the Hen-D version of gPsp, it works great.

D_A has a paypal link on his page. I donated $50 USD a while ago.

A little lost - trying to install the 1.50 - already have 3.71 installed. Saw 3.71m33-2 is availalbe, but I can't see GAME folder? Unless they are hidden? Folders via USB connection are DIC, GPS, NET, REGISTRY, UPDATER and VSH. Any ideas?

Forgot to mention I got a fat one.

thats strange...gPSP works great for me even with 1.50 v2...

and yea,i guess i should donate to D_A ...i'll see about it when i get my backdated wages :)

Maybe I'm thinking of something else. I just fired up gPSP and found that it not only works without eLoader, but runs more smoothly than it did before--the sound used to stutter and lag whenever I played Metroid Fusion or CV: Aria of Sorrow, but not anymore.

I did notice something unusual, though: when I installed DGen, I noticed that I didn't need to have a folder called "dgen%" in the GAME150 folder. In the past, installing 1.50 HB required copying two folders: in this case, one called "dgen" and one called "dgen%." Now, all I need is the first one. Strange, but not at all unwelcome.

the kind with two folders are "kxploit" (a kind of eboot format)

some jsut need one folder, but it will not run on 1.5 unless you've patched with DA's kxploit-patcher.

I noticed that after upgrading to v3.71 m33-2, I tried to play more than 3 games on a 4gb memory stick but only some of them work. Did you guys notice this too? What could be the problem?

I added the 3.71 M33-2 Update but when i try to add the 1.50 Kernel Patch Version 2 it wont work and it says incorrect 150.pbp.

Am i suppossed to add the 1.50 kernal patch.

nevermind im didnt read the previous posts...I figured out what im supposed to do

I take it I can just install the 1.5 kernel patch v 2 straight onto a psp (phat of course) running 3.71 M33-2? ie I don't have to install 1.5 kernel patch v 1 first? Thxs

EDIT: Think I got my answer, on the first page ;-) its a big yes I believe, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks anyway.

is there any specific order i have to install these two in?

first the 3.71 M33-2 and then afterwards 1.5 kernel?

do all of these updates, including the kernel, work on the slim?

the 1.5 patch doesn't work on the PSP slim

only install the 3.71 M33-2 update then, 1.5 kernel patch doesn't work for PSP Slim as icedman said.

thanks.

without using the kernel, what are my limitations?

i tried searching for what it is for, and only found the answer that SOME

homebrew applications will not work without the kernel.

just as long as the psp iso's, playstation iso's\cso's, and other emulators would

work then i would be satisfied.

ISOs work fine... but for applications that don't work under the 3.X kernel there's always eLoader, which will load most 1.5 applications on 3.71 M33.

now i'm using 3.71m33-2 with addon150(2)

can i put change those theme? if yes, is it the same concept? vsh-resource?

it say there's a brick if use vsh plugin, wad is dat?

That was fixed in 3.71 M33-2. A vsh plugin is one that runs in the PSP's main menu screen (XMB).

den wad abt those theme? can i still be able to customise?

If the theme is 3.71 M33 compatible, then yes.

DA came out with universal unbricker, and i heard dat it say it is install in 3.71m33-2? wad does dat mean? and if we create the new univsersal unbricker in the battery, can it still use for gameplaY? and wads the purpose of making it?

it flashes your PSP directly to 3.71M33-2, rather than the older one that downgrades your PSP to 1.5. so it skips the "downgrading" process.

and no after you made it you cant use it for game play unless you convert it back. that's why we recommed people to buy an extra battery for it.

the main purpose is to unbrick you PSP, or flash to 3.71M33-2

thanks anyway, so is jus for in case!

Followed the guide and successfully update to 3.71m33-2 with 1.50 kernel v2. Thanks so much for the help

I have just updated to firmware 3.71 from Sony...i then found out about the custom firmware that is going round and tried to install 3.71 m-22 and the new kernel with it.

!!One problem though!!

Everytime i go to install the firmware or the kernel i get an error code appear.

80020148

How do i get round this? HHEELLPP!

You need to be on 3.71 M33 to install the 3.71 M33-2 update

Only way to install custom firmware on official 3.71 is by using the Pandora battery + magic memory stick.

CAN I ASK U GUY SOMETHING? wat the the 1.50 Kernel Patch Version 2 for?

It's for running firmware 1.5 homebrew on 3.71 M33.

im getting the following error on slim, when trying to upgrade the 1.50 kernel ad on

this program for standard psp

what error?

this program is for standard psp

Thats bvecause its for the psp phat not slim

is there a way to install a kernel 150 on slim

wanna play my emulators and homebrew games

no there is no way. You will have to wait and see if there will ever be 1.50 kernel or wait for the homebrew to be converted

what about the e loader, could i run homebrews on slim wwith e loader???

I'm sure you could run some. Try it and see for yourself.

is there any how to on e loader??????????

Search around the forums, nearly every emulator has been re-released for Slim. I have NesterJ, DGEN, SNESTYL, and gpSP all working fine on my Slim.

eLoader is great but I really haven't found a need for it. To use it you just start it up like any other homebrew app (copy to GAME folder) and it will display a list of all the homebrews on your PSP. From there you just select which one you want to play.

so you actually need a pandora battery to get 3.71 m33 i got 3.52 m33-2 is it worth the trouble of updating?

Cov

you don't actually. it's just that the pandora doesn't downgrade to 1.5 but instead go to 3.71M33-2 directly saving the trouble ;).

If you want to upgrade without the pandora battery, check out the guide HERE

hi, i just got version 3.71 M33-2 and i tryed downloading a few games but i just cant figure out how to put them onto my psp properly, can anybody help please?

homebrew games i mean of course

They go in PSP/GAME

However if the homebrew still does not work then you may need to install the 1.5 kernel patch. It's available in the first post of this thread.

hey i just downgraded my psp to 3.71 m33-2..and i have slim..what do i need to add on in order to play homebrew games

Most homebrew games should work fine just by placing them in the PSP/GAME folder located on your memory stick. There's nothing you need to add.

but i didnt add the 1.5 kernel thing..

wait but i didnt add the 1.5 kernel because it doesnt work on a slim..i just downgraded it with a pandora battery and magic memory stick..what do i have to like do to get the games to be playable...or like what kind of games do i have to add

The only way to make 1.5-based games work on the slim is to use eLoader 1.0, and it doesn't work on all 1.5-based apps, just some of them.

Hey I get wat yall r sayin... But I Did everything... I have Version 3.71 M33-3 N I Downloaded Da kernel 1.50 v2 N I put Da folder N Games Like stated N I also Have Da 1.50 Eboot N Da root of Da Memory card as well... n it still says "incorrect or inexistent 150.PBP at the root"... Wat Do I Do 4 Dis update 2 work??... PLz Help

If you are positive the 150.PBP is named correctly and is on the memory stick root, then there's only two possibilities:

The 150.PBP file you downloaded is corrupted, try re-downloading it.

or

You have a faulty / corrupted memory stick. Try formatting.

great, these custom firmwares are awesome, DAX is a legend.

thanks for the cfw,, still haven't played any cso's or iso but i'll read on and learn on...

hi all

i just downloaded the file 3.71 M33-2 Update however is hows 3.80-2 instead. i put it on my psp and it still show the same file name. please advice

this seems to be a great place to get answers so here goes. i have version 3.71 m33-2 on a fat psp. downloaded everything (even the kernal version 2) placed it in the root but i dont know how to use or access it. kinda new to this sry.

np mate, everyone starts without knowing everything.

After you throw everything into the memory stick, go to "Game" -> "Memory Stick" on your XMB (Main Screen on the PSP) choose it and you'll see the installer. :D

i did this and it told me that the file was corrupt.do i need to put the kernal in 100mnv01 or 101anv01? I have the daedalus folder in games150 folder and my game (v64 file) is in the daedalus folder in the roms folder(with says put games here) all i can think of is the game is bad....please help and thanx very much!!

oah and what is winrar? thats probably the prob. huh? can some one explaine a little about this or post a link. i was able to get the cso and iso games to run from my memory stick with out magic gate so i know i can get this
