3.80 MM3-4 Update released:

POPSLOADER for 3.80 M33 has been released as well, requires M33-3

Yeah I did the remote play prx replacing on my 3.71 M33-4.


Anyone here is into CXMB or just only using PTFs for themes?

A few ways to access flash0:

1) Recovery menu -> advanced -> toggle flash0

2) M33 VSH recovery menu (press select on XMB) -> change USB to flash0 then activate usb as normal

Be sure to have a NAND dump for your PSP beforehand especially if you have a Slim as corrupted IDstorage cant be shared between PSPs and it cant be recovered even using DCv3 and Pandora.

Somehow there are some slowdowns with MSes after the 3.80 update. The list is too long to be pasted here. I can't verify the list as I'm still on 3.71

1) Pandora and DCv3 are only needed if you want to downgrade to older FWs. You can also use DCv3 to update to 3.80 but it is easier to use normal method

2) Pandora batt is required to make the PSP to read IPLs straight from MS and DCv3 have the software needed to flash the NAND

3) If you already have a NAND dump then you dont have to make a new one

4) Flashing via USB is buggy on 3.71 M33-2 but it has been fixed on 3.71 M33-4 but to be on the safe side, make sure you have a NAND dump for your slim. NAND on the PSP is where the firmware is stored. There are 4 NAND partitions: flash0, flash1, 2, 3, etc2.. flash0 stores the firmware and flash1 stores the setting of the PSP, flash2 for DRM licenses etc2. Somehow on slim, the flash0 is kinda encrypted and if the partition is damaged, you cant recover it fully unless you have a working NAND dump to restore it.

1) Yes

2) The dump contains all flash0 1 2 3 partitions

3) DCv3 is needed to restrore bricks but the chance of bricking during fw upgrading from MS is quite negligible

4) You cant go into XMB and Recovery mode as well

5) if 3.70 M33 then it is most likely v1

The minimum requirement to upgrade to 3.80 M33 is 3.52 I think so you should be fine upgrading from your current FW. Make sure to upgrade to 3.80 M33-1 first and then only upgrade to M33-4

Flashing via USB means rewriting the NAND chips directly using USB connected to a computer. Normal upgrading only flash the NAND using memory stick inside the PSP. You can transfer the files into the memstick via USB.

make sure the file structure is

X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP

You dont have to go back to Malaysia to use CFWs. I bought mine from HMV UK about a month ago and already on CFW

scroll down for bookr slim-compatible

If in doubt, do it incrementally or read the README of your final desired firmware for requirements

Try with 3.52 M33-1 first

Download 3.52 M33 (1).. put the 352pbp as usual and follow the readme.. after your PSP is on 3.52 M33 (1), then upgrade incrementally to 3.52 M33-3 and then only to 3.90 M33

Try to put in PSP/GAME150

I guess so.. Follow the guide in 3.50m33 starting from step 3 I think.. Sorry I'm not really familiar with earlier FWs of PSP as I've only been on Slim since 1-2 months ago

I'm not in Malaysia
