PSP Custom Firmware 3.90 M33

Posted by x3sphere at January 31, 2008, 2:25 pm


Talk about quick! Homebrew developer Dark_AleX has now released PSP custom firmware 3.90 M33. The firmware update can be applied either directly via Network Update if you’re already on 3.80 M33, or by following the manual instructions below.

Instructions

- Copy the UPDATE folder into /PSP/GAME/
- Get the 3.90 sony update from somewhere, and put it in same folder, with name “390.PBP”.
Alternatively, you can let the installer to download for you via wifi.
- Run it, the update will be done by Sony updater. At the end when you are asked to reboot the
PSP pressing X or O, do it.

Changes:

- 3.80 -> 3.90
- March33 NO UMD: fixed (yet another) bug related with exiting with home. (infinite semaphore wait)

Changes in updater:

- The degeneration check and correction of IDS keys happens too in 3.71 now.
- Added code to download 3.90 PBP from net via wifi.
Note that his code is not yet 100% stable, it may crash when selecting AP. In that case,
reinit the installer.
- L+triangle has been restored as method to bypass battery.
If you already have 390.PBP keep those buttons pressed until you see “Veryfing 390.PBP”.
If the 390.PBP is being downloaded bia wifi, press those buttons at the end of download until
you see the previous sentence.

In case you’re wondering, the previously released 3.80 M33 popsloader does work with 3.90 M33. However you cannot run the 3.80 pops with it.

AWSOME,

porchemasi says:

ahahah awsome, exophase rocks for psp news :))

nevster says:

so if im updating via wifi do i need to put the update folder into psp/game?

x3sphere says:

No, you can update directly through Network Update. When you launch the installer, it will ask if you want to download the 390.PBP or not.

pspknightx says:

DA sure is fast :biggrin:

Chilly Willy says:

One issue on this new version - don't rename GAME380 to GAME390, D_A forgot to rename the directory in the firmware patch, so it's still looking for homebrew in GAME380.

Does IRSHELL work for 3.90 m33?

pspknightx says:

IRSHELL 3.90 doesnt work with 3.90m33, same with IRSHELL 3.81.
Too bad...

Sardu says:

Full version update via wifi? WOah, I'm in CFW heaven!

Thanks DAX

frosty5689 says:

I'm not going to update my fw(since AhMan droped IRSHELL and he's not releasing the source code)

mattsgreat5 says:

can you install it on a psp slim using OF 3.80? please help!!!

Acerthief says:

You'll need to use the Universal Unbricker/Installer. Check it out in the FAQ Section.



Wow, 3.90 just out, and DAX already converted. Way to go!

mattsgreat5 says:

does it work on psp slim running OF 3.80?

Acerthief says:

It's "Universal", of course. Or else I wouldn't tell you to use it now, would I?

But you'll need a custom firmware PSP to install and convert the things for you.

mattsgreat5 says:

and if it does, can someone give me easier instructions(if possible) on how to get it to work

x3sphere says:

The guide is available here:

Like Acer said, you will need someone else with a PSP running custom firmware to convert the battery and install the memory stick files for you. There's no way to get on custom firmware with just a PSP running 3.80.

Doubleagent74 says:

I'm not sure what you mean by "3.80 pops." Are you talking about saved games created under 3.80 or something else?

Hanzo_f19 says:

He means you cannot run 3.80 firmware pops (psx emulator) on this firmware, BUT you can run the other firmwares.

Doubleagent74 says:

:confused1:

Let me put this another way: right now, I'm running 3.80 M33-5. If I upgrade to 3.90 M33, will I be able to run PS1 games without doing anything extra?

x3sphere says:

Yes, you can. 3.90 M33 includes the 3.90 pops built-in. With each firmware update, Sony usually updates the emulator.

Doubleagent74 says:

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. Updating now...

komplexq says:

What happens if I have a custom XMB (a 3.80m33 version)... it wouldn't work anymore correct?

x3sphere says:

Maybe, because 3.90 is similar to 3.80. You'll just have to try it. Remember to backup theme files before replacing anything though.

Jack says:

since 3.8~3.9
Iso files can not use Chinese names: Start time will be a blank screen freeze.

RJC4LIFE says:

Well,390 fixed Valkyrie Profile Lenneth for me.380 had broken it..the game would crash when accessing certain menu screens but now all it does it turn off the audio until you enter a stage, battle or cutscene.I can live with that..

frosty5689 says:

There's alot of bugs w/ 3.90 M33 so i suggest staying in 3.80 M33-5 unless you really want skype...

benben021 says:

where do i get the sony psp update?

x3sphere says:

The official firmware update EBOOTs are available here:

icedman204 says:

Does 3.90M33 and up (if any in the future) still support the Multidisc Eboots, that are converted using popsloader_md

x3sphere says:

Yes it does.

rassul says:

i have version 3.90 but cant put no games on my psp even with that kernal program

Acerthief says:

You need custom firmware,
official firmwares can't use those.

claudiu says:

hi .ia have fat psp with 3.90 Can i have 3.90 m33 what can i do ? thx

Acerthief says:

You'll need to use an Universal Unbricker in order to go from 3.90 to 3.80M33-5, then 3.90M33.

You can check out the guide to make an Universal Unbricker. Note though you still need a custom firmware PSP to make them.

bigjim says:

is there anyway i can get custom firmware without a custom psp. i have a 3.90 and would like to get homebrew gear without probs

joeey2k says:

those this work if you have 3.80 firm ware that came with the psp Y/N please help me out with some inf. thank you

x3sphere says:

No it does not. You need to be running at 3.52 M33-3 or above to install 3.90 M33.

joeey2k says:

do i run the psp network up date after i combine the files

supersear98 says:

this program is awsome

mcchal says:

OK real noob so shout away.

The GF has just brought a PSP and I am looking at how to play ISO. It is a slim and lite, with 3.90 firmware. I ahve done a bit of reading and loads of peops are talking about unbricking etc etc. Can some tell me what I need to get this new slim PSP from 3.90 to 3.90-m33 so i can play ISO games.

Many thanks
mcchal

Acerthief says:

Your only way now is to use the Universal Unbricker (DCv4). Note that you'll need a PSP with custom firmware to install the set.

Or you can Check out this thread HERE (noobz.eu), which links you to people around the globe that has the service to help you. :D

nathanmoon says:

x3sphere, is there any news of a possible loading of the idstorage for the MS???

Benzo says:

NEED HELP. I have a fatty with 3.90 M33 and ive been trying to play Final Fantasy 7. Some files I have downloaded freeze up at the fight scene, some you can just click new game and it stays dark with no sound. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

slimdude says:

• I have a 3.71 firmware and want to update to 3.90 will it work. O, yes let me not leave out that I have the slim psp.

x3sphere says:

Be more specific - if you are on 3.71 M33 then yes you can update straight to 3.90 M33. If you are on 3.71 official then someone who has a Pandora battery will need to downgrade your PSP for you.

themamba247 says:

Hi i my psp is version 3.90 m33 but i dont know how to play isos and i tried fastloader but it says corrupt data can someone help me please

x3sphere says:

3.90 M33 natively supports ISO files, so I'm not sure why you're trying to use Fastloader. Put the files in X:/ISO, where X is your memory stick drive.

jemarcuscrew says:
