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'scso'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.
