PSP Custom Firmware 5.00 M33

Posted by x3sphere at October 17, 2008, 8:56 am

Update: Dark_AleX has released a statement regarding the 0xFFFFFFFF PSOne error in 5.00 M33. According to Alex, the issue is due to the new pops supporting only PNG images in 24 bits format. PSOne conversion applications, such as PSX2PSP, save icons in 32 bit. Future M33 releases will automatically replace an icon with an invalid color depth.

To work around this issue, either use the original command line PSOne conversion tool, or select the “Old Default” icon type under options in PSX2PSP.

In a matter of mere days following the official release of PSP firmware 5.0, homebrew developer Dark_AleX has updated his M33 custom firmware series to 5.0. Talk about fast, eh? For the complete 5.00 M33 changelog, look below:

* 4.01 to 5.00
* Bug fix: when changing speed in XMB, and the psp turned the brightness to 0 automatically the speed was reset to 222 again.

As usual, to manually install the firmware, copy over the UPDATE folder included in the archive below over to PSP/GAME on your Memory Stick. From there, simply download the 500.PBP and save it in the same folder. Lastly, execute the 5.00 M33 updater from the PSP’s Game menu.

thx ya so much that's great let's enjoy :)

KosteK94 says:

Great, just installed it.

But does anyone know when 1.50 kernel addon for 5.00m33 will be released?

Jake says:

I didn't expect it so quickly, and I think the new waves are ugly.:laugh: Good thing Sony thought to leave the "classic" theme in there.

And DaX's site is down already.

Dragar says:

I officially came :biggrin:. I haven't had a chance to install it yet waiting for battery to charge :sad:

Jake says:

I'm sure there would be lots of posts about it if he has. Although if your on a slim or phat you can probably use the pandora method.

@Dragar:
You can skip the battery check by holding R and Triangle when you start the update, I did, but keep the charger plugged in to be safe.

Shiz0 says:

Is there now support of russian (cyrillic) cymbols in Recovery menu?

Squuiid says:

can't install. It just won;t do it. Says incorrect file. Have tried from GAME folder and autoupdate. Says 5.00.PBP doesn't exist.
Even if I then try to download it from the internet when it prompts, no go.

Any ideas guys?
Thanks

Jake says:

the 5.00 update should be called 500.pbp

Squuiid says:

LOL, sorry, my bad! I apologize for the moronic post.

Dragar says:

Download it from the link on the first post and place it in your update folder

Noricon says:

Oh yeah, it's awesome! Respect! 8)

neverletthem says:

Nice. Sadly, this kills the ability to play PSX on PSP (I think, none of mine are working. Would like to see this confirmed).

Phreaker47 says:

I would like to know if the OFW had some kind of protection measure in place since there was a rumor floating the other day that "hackers" wouldn't be able to use the new store. People signing in with PSN accounts they already have on their PS3 might be concerned.

Phreaker47 says:

You're right.

x3sphere says:

The store works fine here. I'm signing in from the same account I use on my PS3. The fact that Sony would ban people from PSN just for using custom firmware is *highly* unlikely. However, if you're using a cheat device in an online game, that could get you banned.

neverletthem says:

I am also signing on with the same account, can access it. If Sony bans people with CFW, they would be banning a LOT of people. Which means they won't buy any of the stuff available. Which means Sony would lose money. Which is bad. There's no point for them to ban us.

Phreaker47 says:

Ah, just noticed DA has already both confirmed the pops issue and dispelled the rumor about the store blocking CFW.

B2K24 says:

Thanks Dark_AleX, installation successful as always.

Free4All says:

just updated and checkin all emu and psx games.. with iso so far all seem to work with the 5.00 update no problems yet

Free4All says:

tobma says:

update error on phat:

the system configuration of this PSP system does not appear to be correct. The update cannot be completed. Contact technical support for assistance. (DRNFFFFFFBO)

Free4All says:

i got that samething on my phat as well.. i went back to cfw4.01m33-2 then i i used my non MMS stick and did it again and it update fine...

tobma says:

tried on non MMS but it still got same error...

Hanzo_f19 says:

Few questions before updating:


1- Anyone got banned from the Store? XD
2- Do most of the plugins(4.01) work?
3- Themes from 4.01 work on it?
4- fatmsmod works on it? 8both decrypted and encrypted)
5- Any bugs so far?
6- 1.50 kernel included? probably not. Is it gonna be released?

Free4All says:

4.01 themes do not work, read so far plugins a buggy or non working...not banned yetno kernal addon..


tomba.. i dunno then i got that whole error for my phat.. but i using a a MMS that still had the 4.01.pbp.. i so i figure they crossed and thats why i got the blue screen.. but i went back to 4.01m33 then i used my non 8gigmms and it went thru fine

Hanzo_f19 says:

meh, I'll wait for the plugins to get updated

neverletthem says:

Well, for those of you with PSX games that you want to play, currently DA has a fix posted on his forums. Copy and pasted:

So, I'm guessing they still do work with 5.00M33. Testing now.


EDIT: I can now confirm this fixes it.

GVgogeta102 says:

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! DAX for THIS CFW. BUt by the way i thought you quit.

icedman204 says:

I just tested Pops loader on CFW 5.00 it DOES NOT work. you try loading any other POP's from it, you get a blank screen then the old error of (DADADA).


I guess we'd have to wait for a update to the popsloader from DA. Which i hope would be soon, because all my PSX games on my PSP slim hang after the Software developers logo.

storekeeper says:

Please advice me regarding this new update:

- Overall, is it highly recommended to upgarde to CFW 5.00 M33 for it's new performance / function.? (Other than the PSOne emu problems coz I dun really play PSX games) and is it better that 4.01 M33-2.?
- Can I upgrade from 3.90 M33 straight away to 5.00 M33.? Or Must from 3.90 M33 to 4.01 M33 then to 5.00 M33.?

Thanks guys.

store keeper


you should be good going from 3.90 m33 to 5.00 m33. The main addition here is the psn store. From my understanding of it if you don't want the store I don't think you really need the upgrade if your happy where you are. If you use plugins right now they may not work right now if you upgrade because the developers haven't had time to adapt it to the current kernal. Hope that helped.

ree2j says:

dennis96411 says:

I tried to translate the Recovery Menu into Chinese Simplified, but it doesn't do anything, I put ch1_recovery.txt in both ms0:/SEPLUGINS and flash1:/ but it doesn't change. Did I do something wrong?

VEGAN0011 says:
