so lemme get this straight..if i have 5.00m33-4 does it mean that i cant or is it not recommended that i dont do this update if i have fatmsmod installed?

If you already have fatmsmod installed and want to use the speed fix option in recovery it is recommended to reinstall 5.00 M33 then apply the M33-6 update. If you aren't going to enable the speed fix option, just update to M33-6 as normal.

so re-install 5.00m33 but without the fatmsmod then just update straight to m33-6?

can someone tell me if I can upgrade to 5.00m33-6 when my psp phat is 3.71m33-3 please?

Of course.. since you're doing a full install though, you need the 500.PBP placed in the 5.00 M33-6 updater folder. That file can be found here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/154173870/500.PBP

can i upgrade my PSP Slim to this update 5.00 M33-6?, my CFW is 5.00 M33-4.

thanks guys!!!:smile:

@bnaughty18: yes, the update will work perfectly fine..

Okay, thanks. I'll try to install it again. =)

hey guys i got a question..i have cfw 4.01 m33-2 installed in my psp slim, can i update it straight to cfw 5.00 m33-6?

@manji17: yes, first download the 5.00.PBP at [rapidshare.com] and then put the file in the UPDATE folder and then send it to ur psp and RUN IT.

once the update is done, u r in 5.00 M33-6.

I have a question too :D, I have installed 5.00 M33-6; is it necessary to create that translating recovery text? thanx

I did place update folder -> psp/game/update ....

but when i run the update, it show " this game cannot be started . the data is corrupted."

i did official update using WiFi, my version is 5.00 now.... \

any idea?

may i ask something.. i can’t install the 5.00 M33-6 into my PSP fat.. the file always says that “The game cannot be started, The data is corrupted.” Others said that check my recovery mode by holding the trigger R and power on the PSP.. but it doesn’t work for my PSP fat..

The update only works if you are currently using the M33 range of FW. It sounds like you have OFW.

Goto Settings>System information> Whats it say?

Btw wrong thread and section.

System Software: 5.00

that's all!!..

just a question... has anyone else had problems with the psp turning itself off?

so far its happened after I installed 5.00m33-6 ...

I did a downgrade then upgraded to the latest m33

only things different so far...

5.00m33-6

enabled the speed option... from the recovery config menu... even though I do not notice any difference with this or when I used fat mod...

I went and put 3 games onto my new 8gig microsd card that is in a converter...

but when I start playing valkerie profile leneth or star ocean snes remake after awhile it turned off the psp...

those are the only games I have tries so far...

I was not sure if it was just me or maybe its the speed option so I guess I will go check that... I just wanted to know if anyone else had the psp randomly turn off during a game...

...

only other thing I have on the psp is cwcheat... and it has always worked for me... if this keeps giving me trouble guess I will go back to 5.00 m33-3 or -4

EDIT:

well it does this for my regular sony magic gate memory card to... T_T

hmm oh well guess I gotta downgrade for now maybe I messed something up when upgrading...

maybe its just bad luck on my part... oh well I like to have different games to play without carrying my umd disks around guess I just have to use my umd disks for now till I downgrade...

if anyone else notices anything please tell me XD

so i have a normal psp just bought , i have firmware 4.01 official from sony on it , its a slim psp and i have a 2 gig memory stick pro duo . do i have 2 make it a majik memory stick and then put the m33-6 file in the psp folder 2 make it custom firmware ?

Hi there Guys its been a while! I just installed my 5.00m33-6 via network update and after installing, it works O.K. playing game like pinball and NFS undercover seems no problem.. anyway thanks for the update. Cheers

psp slim

CFW previous 5.00m33-3

how can i upgrade my 3.80 m33-5 to 5.00 m33-6..help pls

after further trying...

whenever i turn on the Speed option in the recovery menu my psp likes to shut down randomly during games...

so I went back to the m33-4 for now...

I am waiting to get a psp slim soon... just gotta make sure I get the right one lol... almost bought one that was too new

Just found out that 5.00M33-6 got formatting problem with Photofast adapter.

I tried combined 1 X 8GB & 1 X 4GB microsd with the Photofast adapter and it only

show up as 3777mb after formatted..

Tried on my 3 PSP with 5.00M33-6, all the same.

I down-graded 1 PSP to 5.00M33-4 and use it to format the combination & got 11GB

space after formatted.

Once formatted on the 5.00M33-4 PSP, it will be ok to put in a 5.00M33-6 PSP.

Anyone else got this problem?

Thats OFW, you need to switch to CFW before you can use the M33 Updater. Sorry.

Try formatting it on an older firmware like 4.01 M33-2.

Go to 4.01 M33-2 using DC7 or Hellcat's Recovery Flasher

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download 5.00 M33-6 and download 500.PBP .

After that, follow these steps.

1.Unzip the 5.00 M33-6 file and put the EBOOT.PBP into X:/PSP/UPDATE (X is the root of the MemoryStick)

2. Put the 500.PBP also into X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.

3. And start update from XMB. :smile:

I have OFW 5.03 how do I get any of the custom firmwares?:confused1:

Do you have a Pandora Battery and MagicStick? If you don't then there is no way you can get to custom firmware.

No, but I think I've heard some people say that you can make them. Right?

You can make the MagicStick with a PC. Use PSP Pandora Deluxe 3.1

You can make the battery by hard-modding them or soft-modding them with a Phat PSP or Slim PSP running Custom Firmware.

BTW, Poizen15, sorry for leaving, I had to get off the computer.

Tried out the new MS speed option and I am not seeing any improvement

In particular, I notice considerable lag with Star Ocean: First Departure when running it off my memory stick...I enabled the new speed option and it still lags every few seconds or so when running across the screen.

Anyone see any improvements with their MS speed?

hi does anyone know how to put psp-pda on 5.00 m33-6 or just a notepad to read to?

Try bookr 0.71 or PSP Write by ZX-81

i did what you all said on this site and i followed everyone's advice on how to do that 5.00 m33-6 thing but when im updating it says "500.pbp...incorrect file" , so whats wrong with it?? can somebody here help me please...

We need some details:

1. Do you have custom firmware?

2. Do you have a PSP Phat or Slim?

BTW, you might suffer from the case of bad updater PBPs, so find another 500.PBP here.

phat psp and it says here system software 4.01 m33-2

ok just give me some links of working updater please

Download 500.PBP

Put it into the folder in X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE (X is the root of MemoryStick)

Then find EBOOT.PBP in the 500m33_6 .zip and put it into the folder of X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE

link for 500.PBP PLEASE

is it 500.pbp or 500.PBP ???

Any comments on the new speed hack?

It does not matter as long as it is named 500.PBP

You can get it from here Dark Alex

Still no feedback on the speed hack? I thought this would be a huge talking point on here.

It's still not working for me, Star Ocean and Crisis Core are both still laggy.

I'd try the fatmsmod but I don't want to brick my system again.

eh dunno I meed tp get a new used psp... but Im afraid to buy one from gamestop

how do i know what one to buy used?

I currently have a fat psp with 5.00m33-4

I'm running CFW 5.00m33-6 on my phat but having a couple of issues in certain games since updating. I want to reinstall. Do I need to downgrade first? What d'grade method should I use?

hello,

i have a question, i own a fat psp, with the 3.40 OE-A Firmware

i want to upgrade it to the new 5.00 M33-6

what exactly do I need to do and how?

First you download Hellcat's Recovery Flasher v1.50. Install 5.00 M33-4 from there. Then you download 5.00 M33-6. After that install 5.00 M33-6.

Okay, so I have 5.00m333-4.

I've put a fatms mod on my psp, ran it, then deleted the files. So it's installed now?

What do I have to do to get to 5.00m33-6?

Copy the UPDATE folder inside the 5.00 M33-6 archive to PSP/GAME then run from XMB as usual.

Hello, mine is PSP Slim with 3.90 m33-3. Can i directly update the firmware to 5.00 m33-6 ??

Thanx in advance

Yes. Follow the instructions in my previous post.

wow. slim psps use UPDATE folders, whereas sometimes on phats depending on firmware need hellcats recovery flasher. UPDATE folders can normally work on both tho. and they should without any problems.

ok guys i need help here:

i have a PSP 2000 with a version 4.01 which means i cant install games...but when i update into version 5.00 M33-6 can i install the games and play it???

pls reply ASAP

Hi. I just updated my psp 1000 from ver 3.xx to 5.00 m33-6 and i cant add a 1.50 kernel. I followed all the steps and have the right files but still no joy. havent came across someone else with this problem

Well, only one other user I know had the same bug.

First, make a Pandora Battery and MagicStick.

Then, downgrade back to 3.90 M33-3 using DC5.

Then, from 3.90 M33-3, update to 5.00 M33-2 (because 5.00 M33-1 has a kernel init bug). In 5.00 M33-2 install the 1.50 kernel. The update to 5.00 M33-6.

HELLLP!!!!!!! I HAVE CFW 5.00 m33 - 4 and i want to update to this version do i have to do anything neccessary before i just copy the folder to game and run...???????? PLZ REPLY

WHAT IS KERNEL?????? I NEED HELP.....

If you are on 5.00 M33-4, there are no extra steps, just copy the UPDATE folder over to GAME and run it.

It seems that you are on OFW currently. I'm afraid you cannot upgrade directly to 5.00 M33-6 from 4.01 OFW. In order to install CFW you will need a pandora battery and magic memory stick.

Does this mean the 5.00M33-6 has a fatmsmod buit-in?

Somewhat, but it is a prx / driver made specifically for 5.00 M33-6.

FATMSMOD is a Version 3.71 MemoryStick prx /driver that was patched to be running on 5.00 M33-4 and lower. But 5.00 M33-6 uses a faster, better, and corrected driver that Dark_Alex created himself.

will updating to 5.00 m33-6 let me go on to ps network

YES

what about if its 3.71 m33-2, because i wanted to try out this demo but i have to be 4.05 so can i upgrade to 5.00 m33-6 from 3.71 m33-2?

thank you very much

wait but was that toward my (?)

?

i have a CFW 4.01 m33-2. how can i upgrade to CFW 5.00 m33-6?

Easy, drag and drop the 5.00m33 updater into MS0:PSP/GAME/UPDATE

Rename the 5.00 OFW eboot to 500.pbp and run the updater from XMB.

Or use the much easier and quicker network updater. That will obtain the eboot for you if required. :smile:

how to use the network updater? is there any chance that my psp will be fully bricked?

Not from the 30 or so times i have done it.

Make sure your PSP is fully charged, enter recovery and check in settings network updater is enabled (should be by default though).

Then just hit the update option on the XMB, which is on the settings column (or possibly the network column if you have a CTF theme installed)

I have never heard of bricks occuring if you follow the instructions correctly and exactly.

is 5.00 m33-6 better than 4.01 m33-2?

update successful! thanks for the help sir!

how can i put a custom firmware on a psp with a 5.03 OFW ?

Use this guide, and make sure you have a pandora battery. Hopefully you do not have a psp-3000 or a TA-088v3 motherboard.

Please refrain from Double posting also. You have 3 back to back posts here. :smile:

what is a pandora battery? it's a psp 2000 :D my girlfriend accidentally updated the CFW to OFW :D and sorry about the double post :D

Hit the link in my signature for a guide on a Pandora.

Bad move doing the switch to OFW, you will 100% need a pandora battery now :sad:

well i told her not to do such things.. ahaha :D it's her fault :D maybe we will go to the mall and seek some professional help :D

it should do

yeah,.. it should...

Well, what do you need help with?

1. wrong thread

2. More information required, 'help' don't really help us

3. Another pointless post like that, and i shall delete it.

Hi, I'm new on this. I've just bought a PSP-2001 with a 3.90 W33-3 CFW on it. Should I upgrade to the 5.00 M33-6, and how should I do it?

Thanks

Follow the guide on Pg1 of this thread, its a simple drag and drop operation.

You could also update using the M33 Updater, enable it in recovery mode and update via the network updater on the XMB.

Hi I wanted to know how to upgrade my PSP it is cracked I would liked to know how to upgrade it. The current firmware is 4.01 the newer games do not run on my current 4.01 so I would be very grateful if anyone could assist me.

The installation instructions are detailed in the very first post of this thread. It would help to explain what part is not clear to you.

i have a fat psp with 5.00m33 is there any gain from updating to 5.00m33-6 im new tho the custom firmware because i got the psp moded and i would like some help thanks

You should the updates are released to stabilise the FW, when a bug is discovered, generally DA releases a update to counter it.

You should always use the latest update, irrespective of which M33 you are using. :)

elow guys! 5.50 FW:w00t: is ready for download...hope Dark-Alex will work on this...the new subfolder thing, is cool:biggrin:...soweee for off topic...

patiently w8ting...more power!:smile:

You can already subfolder in photo, video and game. Create folders on PC and copy/paste to Video and picture and use Game catergories v3 plugin for sub folders in GAME.

Its all been done, long before SCE thought of it. :smile:

Many thanks for your upgrade. It's very helpful to me.:smile:

Hi, i'm new in using PSP. Just get it 2 weeks ago.

Do i still possible to change it to a custom firmware without downgrading?

Please help me... i'm frustrated with the official firmware! PLEASE~~~~

if you have updated to 5.50 then you will need a Pandora battery and MMS to d/g back.

There's no other way

Hey man! Im over 3 months anxious about what to do with my PSP. I got sick of it after a year of owning it. I want something to spice my PSP. I've read a couple of your articles and I must say, people like you are genious! Anyway, as I was saying, I wanted to customize and personalize my PSP but I'm not sure what to touch first. Im afraid I might break it (and I can't afford to buy a new one). I hope you could help me =[

I don't know what to give you but I've got:

PSP-2000

firmware - 5.00 m33-6

8GB memory stick

I just want to have an famicom emulator, sega emulator, gamboy advance emulator installed.

I also want to have CXMB themes.

I've been googling it and watching everything on youtube but everytime I do research, each one has different processes and procedures.

I dont even know what type of motherboard I have.

PLEASE HELP. ANYONE.

This guide is a great starting point if you are new to the world of homebrew. Also, check out this thread for emulators, there's plenty listed there.

As for installing them, the process for each is rather straightforward, just drag n' drop the folder that contains an "EBOOT.PBP" to the PSP/GAME folder located on your Memory Stick. Afterwards, the app(s) you transferred over should show as individual items when accessing the PSP's Game menu, each represented by a graphical icon.

Additionally, a step-by-step guide on installing CXMB can be found at this link. The process is a little more complex and may seem daunting for a newbie but this guide will walk you through it. Hope that helps! :) If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

Your site is really informative!
