Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-4 Released

Posted by x3sphere at December 5, 2008, 1:50 pm


As promised, PSP homebrew developer Dark_AleX has released the 5.00 M33-4 firmware update. Various bug fixes are included and a new shutdown function has been added to the VSH menu. All users of 5.00 M33 series firmware are recommended to apply this update. The complete changelog can be found after the break.

* Speed selected for umd/iso was not properly locked in some new games that used scePower_EBD177D6 instead of scePowerSetClockFrequency to change speed.
* UMD/ISO speed settings now apply to PSN games too.
* Fixed libupdown.prx connecting to dark-alex.org instead of sony when npsignin_plugin checks for a new version and m33 update is enabled.
* ISO file descriptor was not closed in driver deletion
* Added a shutdown command to vshmenu.

Greetings from the Middle East!!!! I just recently purchased a psp with system software 4.01 M33-2 installed. In regards of this new release of firmware 5.00 M33-4, can I update my psp from 4.01 M33-2 to 5.00 M33-4? If it thus, can you tell me the procedure please? Thanks!

Jake says:

I was just looking through the recovery menu and under Advanced>Advanced Configuration is has XMB Plugins, Game Plugins and POPS Plugins options. Is this new in 5.00 m33-4 or have I just not seen it?

cyrus says:

hey this update whenever i press the select button for the vsh menu, it makes my phone hang and just shut off..

Kairu43 says:

In regards to what cyrus just said (we know you meant psp) Hitting the select button also freezes my psp. I have to take the battery out to restart it. It worked before I updated. Just to make sure I disabled crossextend (a plugin) and it still freezes. Please help us.

Kairu43 says:

Ok sorry for the double post but this is important and may answer cyrus' question. I experimented with disabling different plugins and found that my Game Categories plugin was the problem. I checked QJ.net and found that the author has just released a new version compatible with 5.00 m33-4. So, Cyrus, if you use that plugin, you need to update to the latest version. Once again, sorry for the double post.

cyrus says:

hey didnt notice i just typed in phone lol ahahaa.gee thanks a bunch kairu! i love you lol. yes i do use that plug in and thanks for finding out so kairu will update the plugin awesome plug in btw.

Awesome. Gonna try this out out...

B2K24 says:

Thank you Dark_AleX :)

january39 says:

I think it is new on 5.00M33, i had to disable the GAME plugin to allow PSN demos to work.

No idea, how they function within the PSP though, obvious answer is to disable any plugins you might have on but as i never had any installed at time of d/l demo not sure that is the answer.

I asked the Question on MC and no replies so.............???? :confused1:

gearelf says:

With this firmware, can I do things like download snes games? If so, how do I update my psp to this firmware? I currently have 3.95.

Kairu43 says:

This is custom firmware. You cannot upgrade to this with official sony firmware. It is possible to downgrade if you don't have a ta 88 v3 slim motherboard. You will need Dark Alex' Despertar Del Cementario v7 and a pandoras battery. google it

Chilly Willy says:

The idea was to separate one thing (plugins) into a few individual things (XMB, GAME, POPS plugins). The reason is that you can only have so many plugins. People are (or were) complaining that they couldn't put all the plugins they wanted into the plugins. So rather than increase the number (which has its own problems), the easiest solution was to separate the different types of plugins. You're still limited, but the limit is on each type, not the entire thing.

alarith says:

Can I update from my 3.51 m33 without any trouble or do I have to install some versions in between ?

silver_surfer says:

@ alarith:

you need to update to CFW 3.52 m33-4 before you can update to CFW 5.00 m33-4

BOSSIII716 says:

i have firmware 3.52m33-4 how do i update it to 5.00m33-4 and can someone help me on how to do it. these instructions arent working it not giving me the proper boot files or soemthing.

Chilly Willy says:

Just copy the 5.00 EBOOT.PBP into the update directory with the name 500.pbp (rename and THEN copy to avoid overwriting the update EBOOT.PBP file), then run the update from the XMB.

zildjian_lanz says:

help!! ive just updated my firmware from 5.00m33
to 5.00m33-4 but error 80010013 appered when i select games. What will i do?

BOSSIII716 says:

i try that. it gets to the screen where it say unpacking.. then done and says please wait but then goes no further then that just stays there for ever. left it for over hour yesterday just to see and never moved. do you have a copy of it that you know works that can send me.

x3sphere says:

Something is wrong with your memory stick possibly. Try formatting it or use a different one if available.

lupin86 says:

Umm...I have 3.52 M33-4, and I don't have an EBOOT.PBP file. Games like Crisis Core still work. I just got Dissidia, and I obviously can't play it and I'm trying to update to 5.00, but I don't know how to do it! If I don't have an UPDATE folder or an EBOOT.PBP, what do I do?

x3sphere says:

Did you even download the ZIP archive? There is an UPDATE folder there with the required files...

Since you are 3.52 M33 you'll also need to download the 5.00 firmware update, name it as 500.PBP, and place it in the UPDATE folder.

gridbread says:

I put the update folder and 500.pbp in their proper place, ran the update, got to a very official looking psp update.
It proceeded to update up to 99%, jump down to 80 or 84% and repeat, forever.
The only option was to remove the battery/ac, psp (fat 1001) was then fully bricked and unresponsive.
I have no idea what is the magical trick to this update.

dennis96411 says:

It's not suppose to go to anything above 84%, dunno why, but it's not suppose to.

shahaedsuma says:

hi, can i update my 4.01 m33-2 to 5.00 m33-4 directly??????

vanshyp says:

I had the same problem... Then I realised I had kernel 1.50 running. Change your kernel to 3.52 in recovery mode (boot up psp with "R" pressed in and go to "Configuration". Worked for me!

kyle08stef says:

Is 5.00m33-4 fixed the hanging when exiting a game??

zhutto says:

BELTRAM says:

CAN U HELP ME ABOUT MY PSP OREG. VERSION 4.1 FIRMWARE?

BELTRAM says:

DEAR EXOPHASE,


I HAD A PROB,I BUY A PSP WITH OREGINAL VERSION 4.1 N IT DOESNT PLAY N MEMORY STICK.....HOW CUD U HELP ME WITH THS PROB?????

alex_e says:

First of all, please dont use caps and dont double post.

if your trying to load ISO's you need cfw for that. if you bought that psp with 4.21 then there is no way of doing it for you because you most likely have a ta88v3 motherboard which cannot be hacked yet



update your psp via network update to m33-6 (see if m33 update has been enable in recovery menu, configuration) and update ir-shell, if this dont work then you may need a popsloader.
also try reading the readme for irshell, it may hold your answers



i dont know, its most likely to be fixed in the latest 500m33-6, you can update via network update. (FIRST see if m33 update has been enable in recovery menu, configuration)


yes make sure your on the 401 kernal first, otherwise it may hang


your gonna need a pandoras battery and mms to fix it.

jx233 says:

All previous bugs of 5.00 M33-3 and lower 5.00 M33 Versions were patched in 5.00 M33-4. Version 5.00 M33-4 is very stable, that is why the "Universal Unbricker" known as Despertar del Cementerio V8 was released so PSPs could be unbricked / restored / downgraded to 5.00 M33-4.
