3.52 M33 Install Guide

[x3sphere]

Here is a step by step guide for installing 3.52 M33. Please note that you must be running 1.50, or any of the OE/3.51M33 series firmware to begin this installation.

First grab the 3.52 M33 files (http://exophase.com/files/psp/3.52M33.zip) and extract them.

1. If you are running firmware 1.5, first go inside the "1.50only" folder and copy both kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% to X:/PSP/GAME and then execute the program through the game menu on the PSP.

2. Copy the M33CREATOR folder to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running OE/3.51M33.

3. Now download the 1.50 and 3.52 updates which you can grab below:
1.50 Update (http://exophase.com/files/psp/150.PBP)
3.52 Update (http://exophase.com/files/psp/352.PBP)

4. Place the two updates you downloaded in the M33CREATOR folder.

5. Navigate to the game menu on your PSP, and execute "3.52 M33 CREATOR."

6. Once finished, navigate to the game menu again and execute "3.52 M33UPDATE."

7. When finished, follow the on-screen prompt to reboot. That's it! You've now upgraded to 3.52 M33 :)

This sounds like it has alot of potential, but I'm lettin' myself NEED 3.51 until I update. Cool beans, though, I admire the guy who has aspired to takes D_X's place. I do have a couple questions- is it pretty much just like an OE? Does it have a recovery menu? Does it support plugins?

EDIT: Nevermind, I read the news post. My bad.

Yea it has all of the features from 3.40 OE-A.

i had to first run the kexploit patch after adding the 2 updates...for the "M33 CREATOR" to work for mee...

[canadajames]

I just want it because when I go away this summer it will be nice to be able to get stuff off my pc no matter how long it takes.

[shadowthor]

is it possible to upgrade 3.51 m33 with the new fixed version of 3.51 m33 or just downgrade to 1.5 and then upgrade?

[canadajames]

Good question I gotta guess its the same as OE or that would really suck.

[x3sphere]

is it possible to upgrade 3.51 m33 with the new fixed version of 3.51 m33 or just downgrade to 1.5 and then upgrade?

Yeah, the new update is just a simple patch you need to run ON 3.51 M33. Takes no more than 2 seconds to update.

[el moro]

Hi guys..
need some help here...My psp version is 3.03..How do i install the 3.51 M33 update??

expectin quick reply...
Thanx

[canadajames]

First you must use the 3.03 downgrader with a copy of unpatched gta liberty city stories. Or if you dont have that you can go up to 3.50 and use the lumines downgrader. Either way once you are back down to 1.50 you can just use this guide to go to the latest CFW or you can choose from other existing CFW's if you want.

[kikotampoc]

3.51 m33 is this an updated version from 3.40 OE,?

[Acerthief]

3.51 m33 is this an updated version from 3.40 OE,?

you can't really say that because 3.51M33 and 3.40OE aren't made by the same person or team. but it an higher firmware version.
either way it's right.

[Sardu]

Here is a step by step guide for installing 3.51 M33. Please note that you must be running 1.50, or any of the OE series firmware to begin this installation.

First grab the 3.51 M33 files (http://exophase.com/files/psp/m33rel.rar) and extract them.

1. If you are running firmware 1.5, first go inside the "1.50only" folder and copy both kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% to X:/PSP/GAME and then execute the program through the game menu on the PSP.
2. Copy the M33CREATOR folder to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running OE.

3. Now download the 1.50 and 3.51 updates which you can grab below:
1.50 Update
3.51 Update

4. Place the two updates you downloaded in the M33CREATOR folder.

5. Navigate to the game menu on your PSP, and execute "3.51 M33 CREATOR."

6. Once finished, navigate to the game menu again and execute "3.51 M33UPDATE."

7. When finished, follow the on-screen prompt to reboot. That's it! You've now upgraded to 3.51 M33

noob question:

What if I'm running 3.40 OE? Same thing as 1.50?

Thanks for the faq, btw.

[Acerthief]

if you are running 3.40OE-A now just skip step one. start with step two, and you don't have to copy the kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders into your memory stick, just copy the M33CREATOR folder.

[Sardu]

I followed the instructions (I upgraded from DA firmware), and I have two questions. First, when I check my software version it still says 3.30 OE-A. Is this supposed to change? Secondly, how do I upgrade to the m33-6 version, do I need to replace the EBOOT file in D:\PSP\GAME\M33CREATOR with the EBOOT from the M33-6 folder? I tried simply putting the m33-6 folder into my PSP\Game folder but when I try to run it, it shows up as "corrupted data" right above the 3.51 M33UPDATER program. Any thoughts?

You didn't complete the guide if it still says 3.30 OE-A.

Go through the guide again, once your Software version says 3.51 M33, then you can run the M33 Update #6.

Plus, you are running OE. You're supposed to be putting the files in GAME150.

X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running OE.

Ok I got it, thanks! I didnt realize the PSP needed to have 75% power to complete the install. Now it shows 3.51 m33. How do I now run the update #6? Where do I need to put the eboot, and how should I launch it?

Move the "M33-SIX" folder to your GAME150 folder and then run the update from the Game menu.

[ah_209]

Havings problems installing this.

When i execute "3.51 M33UPDATE" from the games menus, i get the white screen with psp written in the middle, where it freezes for a couple of seconds, than the psp switches off.

Any suggestion to whats wrong and how to fix this problem.

By the way i have a version 1.5 psp.

Thanks

[roe-ur-boat]

Did you run the kxploit patcher first?

[ah_209]

Yes ran that first, followed the instruction to the letter

[x3sphere]

Yes ran that first, followed the instruction to the letter

The only advice I can give you is to reboot your PSP, format your memory stick, and then go through the guide again.

1.50 really doesn't have any settings that would affect how homebrew applications run, so all I can say is that it must be a memory stick issue.

[lynrossuk]

never used internet before band i am now running m33 7 fw.

Connecting to hub ok but saying, proxy server do not use.Internet browser do not start.

Any advise would be appreciated.

[lynrossuk]

changed the settings as i belive they should be, connecting to internet, but browser will not load.??? Should i beable to load browser with M33v.7

[roe-ur-boat]

What happens when you try to load the browser

i'm sorry dude. you need to downgrade to 1.5 first, and at the moment there is no downgrader for official 3.52, only time will tell when a downgrader comes.

[Acerthief]

IVE SEEN SOME TUTS on how to put custom icons and so on is this still exactly the same on this firmware
you can say yes, and you can say no.
Yes:
comparing to OE series, there's basically no difference. everything's just the same, and the firmware is stable now, fixed bugs that OE has, so what you've seen is basically okay for this firmware. but i don't guaranty 100%.

No:
Most Themes and some homebrew related to the firmware are not compatible yet. if the tut you've seen uses a homebrew or appliances it may NOT work.

can you give me the link of the tut you've seen, so i can give you a better respond XD

[Acerthief]

I have 3.52 M33 but people keep on going on about 3.40 oe- a and i was wondering if stuff for 3.40 oe- a i could assume it would work for 3.52 M33

it depends on what "stuff" you talking about (like homebrew? or theme?) like i said in the last post, not much themes are compatible yet, homebrews are starting to adapt to the M33 series, i took a few days to try and i found out most homebrew (including plugins) related to flashing, or overwriting files through flash0 and flash1 are more unstable, while other app homebrews or games work solid hard XD.

themes? i tried 15 of them and only one of them worked for me. basically because most theme XMBs are still based under the 3.40 XMB, not 3.51/3.52. the member of exophase.com "banner" said the black and white one works, which is true. that's the only compatible theme i found.

people talk more about 3.40OE-A

the first question:
maybe your SCE logo was skipped.
try to turn off completely as if normal, and this time hold the button until the screen the black and the lights stop blinking. then let go of the power button. now hold the R button and push the power button. hold R until you get to the "M33 Recovery Menu" using and D-pad choose "Configuration", press X, the see the first one
"Skip Sony logo". see if it's Enabled. if it is just press X to disable. the back, exit, and the sony logo should show.


Second Question:
Follow this guide HERE (http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=1508) and you will be able to get back to 1.5. Remember to plug your AC and have fun!:laugh:

Heh, me, personally, I don't see a reason to do it anyway until the FW required in games hits that high; but now, from what I've heard, these firmwares are rock solid, and even have subtle improvements on the OE series, according to forum-god x3-
Well I test just about everything I post here. 3.52 M33 is rock-solid, no bugs at all.

M33 firmware from the start has never been buggy in fact they have been fixing many of the issues that existed in previous OE releases such as the TA-082/86 brightness issue and NO-UMD compatibility.

Do you mean by you press internet browser from the XMB but it wont go in?
If yes, then did you use a custom theme? when i used a custom theme before i couldn't get into the browser myself XD.
if you did not use a custom theme, then maybe you had a bad flash because of a bad memory stick.

if else, well i'm sorry then you'll have to ask other people for help....

I'm on 3.40oe-a running IR Shell 3.61. Do I simply follow the guide or should I probably format my memory stick and edit the flash0 removing the irspatch.prx patch and edited text pspbtcnf_game.txt file?

Is that necessary or can I just format & disable the plugin in recovery (I don't really care about having IR Shell on this firmware as I don't really use it but it can stay in my flash0 if that's not a problem).

PS: All this to install the Applecor XMB theme, aint it nice!

Is that necessary or can I just format & disable the plugin in recovery (I don't really care about having IR Shell on this firmware as I don't really use it but it can stay in my flash0 if that's not a problem).

PS: All this to install the Applecor XMB theme, aint it nice!

You can just disable the plugin before installing. Also, installing 3.52 M33 will clear the iR Shell patch and restore your pspbtcnf_game.txt to default.

Thanks. I tried changing GAME to GAME150. Games wouldn't start.

Are you saying there should be both GAME and GAME150?

Sorry! :blushing:

Yes... create a GAME150 folder alongside GAME.

[Rugster]

Yes... create a GAME150 folder alongside GAME.

Thanks very much. Top man.:thumbup:

[supaquickt]

Thanks x3sphere upgrade went like clockwork. So easy this new firmware is getting now.

[sum41]

Thanks x3sphere for your guide worked perfectly.I now want to format my memory card and would like to know if I just format it or do I have to copy and paste back any files after format.I have a 4gb memory card and would also like to know if a psp format is better than a FAT16 format through the computer.

[roe-ur-boat]

What you backup depends on what you want to keep on your mem stick, like savegames and other stuff that you want. If you format through your PSP you get all the correct folders you need

[sum41]

Thanks roe-ur-boat wasn't sure if I'd have to put the 1.50 etc folders back on after format.

[roe-ur-boat]

No problem man, glad I could help

[barnsey1980]

Can someone tell me how to get some of my games that worked with previous fw to work with this fw as ive installed the file on the psp and opened the memory stick through the psp and theres nothing there even though ive used x amount of memory??

[roe-ur-boat]

It isnt very clear how you just explained your problem but do you mean that even after putting it in the GAME150 folder on your mem stick it still wont show up in the XMB? If so what firmware are you running?

[azza]

Here is a step by step guide for installing 3.52 M33. Please note that you must be running 1.50, or any of the OE series firmware to begin this installation.

First grab the 3.52 M33 files (http://exophase.com/files/psp/3.52M33.zip) and extract them.

1. If you are running firmware 1.5, first go inside the "1.50only" folder and copy both kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% to X:/PSP/GAME and then execute the program through the game menu on the PSP.

2. Copy the M33CREATOR folder to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running OE.

3. Now download the 1.50 and 3.52 updates which you can grab below:
1.50 Update (http://72.29.74.204/~exophase/external/150.PBP)
3.52 Update (http://exophase.com/files/psp/352.PBP)

4. Place the two updates you downloaded in the M33CREATOR folder.

5. Navigate to the game menu on your PSP, and execute "3.52 M33 CREATOR."

6. Once finished, navigate to the game menu again and execute "3.52 M33UPDATE."

7. When finished, follow the on-screen prompt to reboot. That's it! You've now upgraded to 3.52 M33 :)

Hi

Hi

We don't support piracy here, if you want them to work guaranteed then dump them from your UMDs, and make sure you put them in the ISO folder on the root of your memstick.

[barnsey1980]

hello roe-ur-boat yeah ive got 3.52 m33 running at the moment and im putting the files in the iso file that is on the root of memory stick alot of games are running its a few that refuse to show up i tried creating a file in the psp/game then moving the files to there but it kept coming up corrupt data

[Acerthief]

iso files can only be in the in the ms0:/ISO folder. a few ISO's refuse to show up maybe because it's simply corrupted. ms0:/PSP/GAME is for things in EBOOT.PBP format.

Also if you're using a 8GB memory stick, it can only read up to 4GB, the rest 4GB might be full of your games, but the PSP can't read it. it's something that the authors are trying to fix as well.

[barnsey1980]

Yeah but like i wrote in earlier in the thread that most of my iso's worked with previous dev hooks and now they wont show up at all. Yes there are some bad rips out there ive had some. Has anyone else had the same problem and if so is there anyway to fix it.

Tried it x3shere still nothing its really head scratching cos they worked with a really early devhook i think it was 0.46 i dont want to have to downgrade all the time just to upgrade again when i want to play these games i think ill just have to wait and see what happens in the near future

[Cloud_Strife369]

ok, this question may be noobish and stupid, but I haven't found an exact answer to the question I have in all my research, so here goes...

I am running 3.40 OE-a right now and am considering upgrading to 3.52 M33, so my question is: What are the basic differences in how the two run?

If I install 3.52 M33 now, will I be able to play my eboot PSX games immediately after installing, and will I be able to load my existing save files?

I've read that as long as you saved the data on "3.40" originally, you won't lose it, so does that mean that 3.40 OE-a and 3.52 M33 use the same PSX emulator?

Is there anything special I have to do to get the 3.52 M33 PSX emulator to work (I've seen various references to certain files pertaining to popsloader, which I THINK is the PSX emulator--up until now, I've just happily played PSX eboots without bothering to learn much about the emulator they run on)?

Is there anything essentially important I should know about the inner workings of 3.52 M33?

Thanks in advance. I'm very confident I'll get helpful answers to my questions here :)

P.S.: one more extremely noobish question: If I install 3.52 M33, then can Install the #4 update right away, or do I have to install 2 & 3 first. Thanx

[Cheezeball99]

Uh, they use close to the same emulator, although I honestly think I've heard of a save game issue between the versions. Other than that they're basically the same, aside from 3.52M33 having more options and obviously being 3.52. And yes, you can directly use update 4 without the others.

[Cloud_Strife369]

can someone please explain the issue with savedata between versions? I'm very anxious to get upgraded if it's advantageous :)))

[Cheezeball99]

Keep in mind that my mind may be making that up; The only thing would actually be you having to convert your savegames to be compatible with 3.52, which it asks if you want to do and does automatically once you start a PSX game, I believe.

[Cloud_Strife369]

I've heard about save incompatibility between versions other places, I just need to be sure that my 3.40 OE saves are what is meant by the "3.40" that is compatible

[x3sphere]

I've heard about save incompatibility between versions other places, I just need to be sure that my 3.40 OE saves are what is meant by the "3.40" that is compatible

Your 3.40 OE PSone saves will have no issue in 3.52 M33...

However... I *believe* it will ask you to convert all your saves to 3.52 format when running a game for the first time (it did this in 3.40, don't really remember if does in 3.5x).

If that is the case then if you ever decided to go back to 3.40 OE, or use 3.40 or below pops, these saves will not work without converting them back to 3.40 format.

There's a guide here on how to convert them back:
http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=1553

Honestly though, you probably won't be doing that. 3.52 pops has better compatibility with most PSone titles.

[Cloud_Strife369]

thanx so much for the info, i think i'm gonna upgrade now, but I have one more question: what is different about the popsloader in M33's update #4? I thought that popsloader was the emulator used by the CFW already, so why is it in the update? Is it essential to playing PSX games if I'm upgrading from 3.40 OE-A?

I've googled it several times and can't find how it works in relation to 3.40 OE-a going to 3.52 M33. Does this mean it's inconsequential to me and I don't need to use it?

sorry for the noob questions, this should do it for me :)

The PSone emulator is already integrated into the firmware but popsloader lets you use previous versions of it. So you are probably not going to use it but in case a game is not compatible with 3.52 pops, but is with 3.40 pops, then the option is there.

Hi, i have just turn my PSP to 1.50, to tun neo geo and amiga emulators, they run great by the way, but when i try to run my UMD, appears the message to continue must update system, so i do, to run my emulators, should i downgrade every single time i want to run them , or is there a Firmware that can run both, thanks

upgrade to 3.52M33 using this thread. that way you won't have the system update problem.

thanks acerthief, i just did as told, i already got the 3.52M33 runing on my PSP, but the problem persist, i can play my UMD, but not the games or any other file on my X:/PSP/GAME/ , not even the updates or emulators, when i transfer the kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% to X:/PSP/GAME,on my psp the last archive appears as damaged data, what should i do ? thanks once again

[Acerthief]

for ISO games you put it in ms0:/ISO folder.
games, hm.... you don't need kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% anymore.
kxploitpatcher% will be shown as corrupted data, but that's okay. it's shown as corrupted data because your PSP doesn't understand what it is. but it's still data, so don't delete it!

for like updates and emulators, put it in ms0:/PSP/GAME150.

i suggest you to format your memory stick with your PSP, then all the folders needed will be created automatically by the PSP after the format.

The memory stick is bigger than 32MB right?

Try formatting it and copy the files back over... also, make sure your 3.52 EBOOT matches this size: 21,558,885 bytes.

If all that matches up there is definitely something wrong with the MS.

[mabscottsville]

Hi, I don't quite understand the tutorial as most of it is aimed at 1.5 to 3.5.2 m33.

I just bought my psp with version m33 3.5.2 I want to upgrade it to m33 3.5.2-4 but I am not sure how. The 3.5.2-4 zip file from m33 does not contain any instructions and should I upgrade from 3.5.2 to 3.5.2-2 to 3.5.2-3 to 3.5.2-4 or can I upgrade straight from m33 3.5.2 to 3.5.2-4 m33.

Detailed instruction from 3.5.2 to 3.5.2-4 would be nice.

[supaquickt]

You can go straight from 3.52 M33 to 3.52 M33-4, download the file here http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=3185

Unzip the file. You don't have to worry about the seplugins folder this is for the POPS loader plugin. Dump the M33Update4 folder to X:\PSP\GAME150 then goto game menu > memstick, run the update.

[trashcan]

thanks trying it now and may I ask about what does the pops loader plugin do out of curosity? Do I need to put pops loader somewhere or can just ignore it?

Anyway followed the instructions, it ask me to press x to update, i press x, it say updated then the screen go black. power is orange light. Should I switch off and on again? or should I wait? It been a while and it didn't auto switch off itself (the orange light is still there). Sorry but this is my first time doing it so I'm kind of afraid.

Edit: it is 3.5.2 m33-4 now thanks! the orange light only means that it is charging lol.

1 more thing I hear my friends saying about C1003 at the back what that? mine have it.

[Acerthief]

well for different firmwares (not whether custom or official, but like if it's3.03, 3.10, or 3.40) Sony changed the format on the saving files and and codes, which will make newer save data not compatible with the older firmware. with this you can change to the format of your saved data to any format (eg format for 3.03, format for 3.10, like that) you pleasure.

There's no need for this if you're not playing any PSX and or playing them on older firmwares.

[trashcan]

There's no need for this if you're not playing any PSX and or playing them on older firmwares.

so if I play want to play some old original psx games in my current 3.5.2-4, I need it? (the pops loader?) thanks

[Acerthief]

if you are going to play your game & save with the same memory on any firmware before 3.40, then you'll need it. the thing is it won't convert back to the format for firmwares before 3.40, it will ask at the start of the game the first time you play it which kind of format do you want and it will be saved as the format you've chosen.

[x3sphere]

so if I play want to play some old original psx games in my current 3.5.2-4, I need it? (the pops loader?) thanks

nope, some games do not work with the 3.52 pops (already built-in to the flash), so you can use popsloader to load older pops versions and try the game on them.

[tomguyz]

Here is a step by step guide for installing 3.52 M33. Please note that you must be running 1.50, or any of the OE series firmware to begin this installation.

First grab the 3.52 M33 files (http://exophase.com/files/psp/3.52M33.zip) and extract them.

1. If you are running firmware 1.5, first go inside the "1.50only" folder and copy both kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% to X:/PSP/GAME and then execute the program through the game menu on the PSP.

2. Copy the M33CREATOR folder to X:/PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to X:/PSP/GAME150 if you are running OE.

3. Now download the 1.50 and 3.52 updates which you can grab below:
1.50 Update (http://72.29.74.204/~exophase/external/150.PBP)
3.52 Update (http://exophase.com/files/psp/352.PBP)

4. Place the two updates you downloaded in the M33CREATOR folder.

5. Navigate to the game menu on your PSP, and execute "3.52 M33 CREATOR."

6. Once finished, navigate to the game menu again and execute "3.52 M33UPDATE."

7. When finished, follow the on-screen prompt to reboot. That's it! You've now upgraded to 3.52 M33 :)

Do you have other guide for those update like 3.52 M33-2,3 & 4 - like where the files should be copy ....

You don't need a UMD disc in for games, but the M33 readme says Video ISOs won't work unless a UMD disc is in the drive.

If you are having problems with some games try switching the ISO driver to Sony NP9660

[Acerthief]

Follow the guide and shut up. XD
Nah just kidding.

basically it's the same thing as upgrading OE.
Download all the files first (M33 files, 150.PBP, 352.PBP)
Skip step 1 since that's for firmware 1.5 only.

Follow the steps, open the M33file archive, and put the M33CREATOR folder into ms0:/PSP/GAME150.
Then put the 150.PBP and 352.PBP into the M33CREATOR folder.
Run the program on the PSP. after it's done, press X to exit,
and you'll see the 3.52M33 UPDATE in GAME/MEMORYSTICK of you XMB.
Be sure to have 75% percent battery and start Flashing!


Feel free to ask more question, or post in the Help Center. :)

The downgrading method depends on the firmware that is installed on the PSP. Most PSPs, now come with 3.50 pre-installed, which requires a copy of the game Lumines to downgrade.

i have another question some games on my 3.10 are not working like the game could not be started will upgrading to a new cfw fix this prob? :D

It should. Check my post here after installing 3.52 M33 -

hi!
i have a phat psp with 3.40 oe-a firmware and i've been out of the scene for a while... my doubt is if i don't need the "Lumines" or the "Pandora" process anymore. :confused1: can i proceed with 3.52 m33, 3.52 m33-4 and then 3.71 m33 updates?

thanks for any help

[supaquickt]

If you have OE you can go straight onto 3.52 m33 following this guide. Then I'd recommend going to 3.52 m33-4. As DA is currently patching 3.71 M33 to work with the 1.5 Kernel.

[twanbiz]

So I am going to get the 3.52 m33 release, my question is does the update 4 have everything that the previous updates have in them, or do i have to get the other updates as well. i read somewhere that update 3 has everything from the previous updates, but does update 4 have everything from 3 and previous?

Yes, update 4 has everything that the previous updates had.

Hi there!

I'm fairly new at this too... so here goes:
I followed the installation instructions and things went very smoothly until I had to run the 3.52 M33 Update. (Step 6) When I run it, the program goes to a black screen and loads the PSAR to RAM. Then it says "checking PSAR integrity.... incorrect psar" and sends me back to the main menu. Any ideas why this happened? How do I fix it? I downloaded all the files through the links provided by the tutorial here.

I have a 1.50 PSP...

Thanks!

[donsammy]

did you rename 1.50 and 3.52 update to 150.PDP and 352.PBP.
thats why you get that error

[felyme]

Thank you for your response. Actually, in doing some more searching, I found out I had a fake mem stick. >:(

I need help with upgrade to M33 3.52 please.

My PSP is on 3.40 OE-A. I put M33Creator and 352 and 150 in the Game150 folder. When I start M33Creator the screen turns black and my PSP goes off.

My PSP is not bricked and can start again, but I am not able to continue with upgrade.

Anyone has a clue?

BTW: What is the difference between a bricked and semi bricked PSP?

Semi-bricked: You can still access recovery but not the XMB.

Bricked: PSP turns on but nothing works.

As for your problem, try formatting your memory stick (it will clear all data off so backup any important files) and then re-copy files and try running M33Creator again.

[PhreakAccident]

Just got 3.71m33-2 installed. I'm getting ready to go on a trip and I have a few UMD DVD's that I put as ISO in the /ISO/VIDEO location. VSH options UMD ISO Mode as Sony NP9660 and ISO VIDEO MOUNT is set to my ISO file name.

I move the selector to music then back to VIDEO and the UMD VIDEO icon fails to appear. I was able to watch them under 3.52M33-4 but I have not tried it under the initial 3.71 release.

Any idea what's going on?

Edit: My memory (brain) was broke. I forgot that we're required to have SOME kind of UMD disc within the drive to watch ISO versions of UMD movies. DOH!

I'm a big noob, need some help on these questions.


When I have updated to 3.52 M33 from 1.50 is it ok to format my memory stick or will it damage my psp since Im wanting to update to the verson 7 of this I think is out now.
So should I format my memory stick right after I have updated to 3.52 M33 or should I wait until after I have updated to the newiest verson?

Should I format my memory stick at all?

I have a 512 SanDisk memory card it says "Memory Stick PRO Duo" "MagicGate!"

Does that mean that it is REAL or fake I ask this since when copying some data files it has made the Save data currunpt my friends say that has happend to them with their 1GB sony ones but is this card real I got this from GAME shop in the uk so it should be right yes?

I have ordered a new 4 GB Sony one it should arrive tomorrow the same day as Lummines but witch one should I work I dont want to be using a faultly memory stick?

Thanks. I will update you on the status of my psp when I have updated it and downgraded it lols.

[Acerthief]

1,2,3) YES always format your memory stick before flashing in case of any corruption. and 3.71M33 is out, but you need to upgrade to 3.52M33 first with this guide your posting.

4,5,6) you can check if you memory stick is fake by looking at the "Information" section on your PSP. (go to any function that has a memory stick on your main screen and press information for... information :D).
or you can check if you memory stick is fake by looking at this thread HERE (http://http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=1035&highlight=fake)

Hi I have successfully downgraded and upgraded my psp before, but I am struggling with this one.

I have downloaded the updater and the 2 files 150.pbp and 352.pbp> I put them into psp game150 folder but when I try to activate the psp restarts and says the game could not be started (80000001)
Any ideas?

[xman]

What firmware are you on?

More questions.

1. I have ordered a new copy of Lummines will it be patched?

2. If it's pached what verson of patch will I need to be able to run this upgrade?

3. Do I need all the upgrades onto 3.52 M33 to be able to install the newer verson?

4. If I format my memory stick when I have upgarded to 3.52 M33 will I loose any of the folders that I need that would be good or used for homebrew?

5. Is it safe to delete the internet files before I update?

6. Is 3.71M33 better than 3.52 M33?

Ty! Thanks very much.

1. No, shouldn't be. Only some Japanese copies of the game have been reported as patched.

2. Patched Lumines won't be able to run the downgrader period. But you shouldn't worry unless you ordered it from Japan.

3. You need install 3.52 M33, t hen apply the 3.52 M33-4 update, which includes all previous updates into one.

4. No, if you format the memory stick on PSP it auto creates all the folders you need.

5. Yes.

6. 3.71 M33 is better.

[rayban]

He guys, i'm a bit late with upgrading again. Left my psp alone for a long time.
I just installed the 3.52M33 from this topic. But it stops after loading 1.50firmware
and says i could not open file1.50.PBP.
My current firmware is 2.71Seb. It should work with it?
Must I change settings in the recovery mode of 2.71??

Or is it wise to downgrade back to 1.5(which I read a few posts back)
and then upgrade?? Can I downgrade 2.71Seb?
Ok sorry just read in the downgrade topic that I don´t have to downgrade.

[Acerthief]

where did you download the the 150.PBP?
also a fake memory stick might be the problem. Check it out HERE (http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=1035&highlight=fake) to see if you have a fake one.

For recovery settings disable everything, plugins, skip logo all that.
No need to downgrade to 1.5, as you've found in another thread.

[rayban]

Do you mean where from or where to
I downloaded all the files from this topic.

I put the 150 and the 352 update PBP in the M33 creator map
So there are 3 files now including the Eboot PBP~.
I had to create the Game150file on the psp.

I will check the memorystick right away.
No problems with the mem.sticks.
So still no clue.

[rayban]

OK got it installing now. But after loading the 3.52firmware it's getting
stuck in the writing 0f 3.52. I Already tried 2 different 3.52.PBPs?
Does this ring a bell with any of you guys?

Sounds like a fake memory stick... are you sure the size of your 352.PBP is correct? Around 20.5MB?

[rayban]

No that is all ok, I will try another memorystick tomorrow, but I don´t think thats the problem. I have 5 different sticks. 1 is no sony.
The file is 20.5mb

i currently have 1.5 installed.. and i followed the steps but i cant run the program.. please help

it says "game cannot be loaded"

and i cant get into the recovery menu for some reason

1.5 doesn't have a recovery menu.
you need to use the "kxploitpatcher" first before the installation.

That's a really odd problem... still happens even after shutting down the PSP?

About the HOME menu not showing up - I get that sometimes, its a bug I think. A reboot fixes it though.

[stazari]

I thought that too. Could it be because I deleted the files after I installed the 3.5 M33-4 updates. Otherwise I have been trying to restart it and I removed the battery and put it back in and it still doesnt show up. Could it be a setting or something or do I have to try to reinstall everything. Thanks

Question.

1. If i reformat my memory stick and follow the steps on this guide it should do the job yes? (and yes i have downgraded to 1.5 firmware)
2. After i install this 3.52 i should be able to upgrade it to 3.71 yes? I presume this is the only way to get to 3.71 as there's no straight forward way of doing it at the moment.

wait a sec. 3.50 33.4? and i suppose you're saying that's your firmware?

What firmware do you have?
(@ the XMB, you go to [System] -> [System Settings] -> [System Information], and you'll see your firmware version)

make sure your "UMD Mode" is set to "Sony np9660", and "Normal" with a UMD in your PSP.

If it still doesn't work, then the ISO itself might be corrupted.

the firmware is 3.52 M33-4. My friend who I got the game from did the same thing and his worked which is why i found this puzzling. Let me know if theres anything else I can try. Thanks otherwise.

Try formatting your flash1
Turn off your PSP completely, Hold R and turn it on.
You'll be directed to the "Recovery Menu".
Go to "Advanced" (Press X to go in), and the last selection will be formatting your flash1.


Give it a shot. you'll lose some settings on your PSP, and your wallpaper, but it's fast to set them back ;).

Grateful for some help/advice/links for the problem I seem to have...

Have been using Devhook to give me firmware 3.11, but needed to upgrade further so used M33Creator to get to 3.51M33-1. However I now need to upgrade further and want to go to 3.71.

This is where my problem begins. I have downloaded the correct software and boot files and followed the instructions exactly (just like I did to get to 3.51) for 3.52M33 (as I undertsand to get to 3.71 I require to be at 3.52M33-3 (or 4)) however when I run the M33Creator I get the following error "3.52 PSAR size doesn't match”. Have tried different versions of 3.52creator and 3.52 BOOT. Have also formatted MS (1GB) and used another MS (1GB) which still did not resolve the problem.

What I would like to know is :-
a) how can I upgrade to 3.71 - what am I doing wrong ?
b) If somehow I can't upgrade further because of a problem, how can I return to 1.50 so that I can then upgrade to 3.71 - hopefully with instructions.
c) Are there any other options that I could do without "bricking" my PSP ?

Thanks in advance for any help provided, and keep up the great work.:smile:

No it should only take around 5 minutes or so. First try formatting your memory stick then copy back all the files and see if that helps. If not, then you have a faulty memory stick.

Hold R while turning on your PSP to enter recovery mode, then enter Configuration and switch the GAME folder kernel setting to 1.5. This should fix up any problems you have with DGEN.

If you are having troubles with games showing up try deleting ISOCACHE.BIN in PSP/SYSTEM

But if that doesn't help its most likely an issue with the ISO itself or your memory stick.

Yes, you need to downgrade to 1.5 first before installing.

I have a 3.30 OE-A and I'm trying to upgrade the PSP with ur guide but instead of 3.52 M33 CREATOR, KXploit Permanent Patcher is there. I skipped the first part step, downloaded the M33CREATOR folder, put the 1.50 update and 3.52 update in the M33CREATOR folder, and put the M33CREATOR in PSP/GAME150. What did I do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong... what is the problem exactly?

In the guide, it says execute "3.52 M33 CREATOR" in ur PSP but instead, the name of the program is KXploit Permanent Patcher. Do I just execute that?

Only if you are on firmware 1.5. If you ignored Step 1, that file shouldn't be there anyway.

Anyways... to get rid of it delete the 1.50only folder on your memory stick.

I think I mixed the 1.50 only firmware and 3.53 firmware EBOOT cuz I try extracting it again LOL. sorry for asking without checking wht I did wrong

Well I got everything installed alright. But now I'm stuck on how to play iso's (with no UMD in the drive). Can anyone help me out?

Just hold your power button up till it powers off..Then hold in the R1 button when you power it back up..This will put you in recovery mode..in recovery mode select configuration...then you will see your options for UMD mode...select No Umd:smile: now i've heard some games will still need umd, i havent run into any but i guess there out there.

That's a way, but that's for 3.40OE-A.

Now for 3.52M33, there's a built-in menu at the main menu of your psp (aka XMB). Press home and it will come out. You can set your CPU speed, as well as the UMD mode.

Change the UMD mode to "Sony np9660", which is an ISO loader coded my sony themselves! so the compatibility is nearly 100% :D.
