Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-6

Posted by x3sphere at January 20, 2009, 9:17 am


Homebrew developer Dark_AleX today released the 5.00 M33-6 firmware update. This update attempts to the fix the low-speed Memory Stick issue that has been problematic for certain users since the release of 3.71 firmware.

The included file fat_comparison.html provides a chart comparing the speed of each MS driver and shows that read times increase significantly with the speed fix enabled. If you have already installed fatmsmod, be sure to disable it first before enabling the MS speed fix through recovery mode. Further details can be found over in the release thread.

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?

x3sphere says:

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.

maeirsvs says:

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

jason0P says:

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

x3sphere says:

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:

manji17 says:

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?

nathanmoon says:

@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.

duke_drift87 says:

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

limesoft says:

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?

jiro_ejlr says:

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..

january39 says:

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.

jiro_ejlr says:

System Software: 5.00

that's all!!..

wsensor says:

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

kerakun says:

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 ?

Pranzer says:

apple_em says:

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

wsensor says:

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

donchua says:

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?

january39 says:

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

jx233 says:

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:

Poizen15 says:

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

jx233 says:

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

Poizen15 says:

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

jx233 says:

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.

solarnoise says:

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?

DrucelleS says:

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

jx233 says:

Try bookr 0.71 or PSP Write by ZX-81

DrucelleS says:

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...

jx233 says:

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.

DrucelleS says:

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

DrucelleS says:

ok just give me some links of working updater please

jx233 says:

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

DrucelleS says:

link for 500.PBP PLEASE
is it 500.pbp or 500.PBP ???

solarnoise says:

Any comments on the new speed hack?

january39 says:

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

You can get it from here Dark Alex

solarnoise says:

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.
