Thanks for the confirmation, i have couple more questions.

I bought my PSP in Australia with AU OFW (PSP-2002), and i'm not sure if the OFWs on Dark_Alex's site are from US, wouldn't that cause trouble on this AU PSP?

second, is it possible to reserve back to OFW after i got CFW?

And last, the procedures, could you name the shortest way to update CFW? The readme files on m33 pack are confusing me. So can i skip 3.52 m33 and install with 3.52 m33-4 for first time? Then stright to 390 m33-3?

The regions are compatible, only UMD Videos and some features rely on regions. As for your PSP, if you're on 3.93, Then you'll need the "Universal Unbricker" like what fearevil said. It will get you to 3.90M33-3 directly.

You may revert back to OFW, but not 3.90M33-3 -> 3.80/3.71 or older firmwares.

and slims, they only work with Universal Unbrickers, as there are no 1.5kernel on the board, you can't go to 1.5->3.52M33->3.52M33-4 ->...., in other words, slims don't use the downgrade method.

Thanks for the guide! But I have problems running through it!

I have 3.40 OE-A and when I run the 3.52 M33 CREATOR my PSP says: "The game could not be started" and I have have done all the previous steps correctly! Can someone please help me?

NOTE: I do have 3.40 OE-A but my "Game" file name is just Game not Game150 does this have anything to do with my problem?

PLEASE HELP!

If you're running OE you need to place in the files in GAME150. If the folder doesn't exist then create it.

Uh... are you trying to run the "1.50only" program in the first step? You're not supposed to run that on 3.40 OE, which is why it is displaying that message.

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 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
3.52 Update

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 :)

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.


where can i get the M33CREATOR folder if my psp running version 3.90?
