Find a friend who has a CFW PSP and is well-known in this to help you.
If not, you have to take your own risk > <

hey guys, I'm new here, and I just brought my PSP from 3.71M33-2 to 4.01M33, after that, I copied the UPDATE folder of the 4.01M33-2 to PSP\GAME , which contain only the EBOOT.PBP file. And on the memory stick on the PSP menu, "there is no games here", what should I do???? and how can I play ISO/CSO games on this CFW 4.01M33-2, do I have to create GAME4XX or what???(after I update 4.01M33, I'm not formatted the memory stick yet cuz I want to save my Magic Memory Stick files)

Make sure you are placing the ISO games in the correct folder (e.g. X:/ISO). If they still fail to show up try formatting your memory stick.

@OptimusPrim: No, not without the help of another person who has CFW. You need a Pandora battery and magic memory stick.

I have the same problem here, previous i was in 3.90 m33-3 now 4.01 m33-2.

I can only look-up my games after i when to photo/video run it so that the memory stick led flashes then i can look-up my games and load it.

Seems to be a delay or bug, anyone knows how to fix?

EDITED: I reformatted my MS and that fixed the problem.

Alot of people are saying this happens but with all 3 of my Sandisks sticks
2X 4GB 1X 8GB this didn't happen to me at all, no matter if Im on 4.01 M33
or 4.01 M33-2. In fact I get faster access then 3.90 M33-3 with fatmsmod.

help me plz!

First of all this is nowhere to be found in the included instructions. You should download the update from the links here, not Sendspace.

Also... as stated in the post, 4.01 M33-2 is an update for 4.01 M33. You can't go directly from 3.90 M33-3 to 4.01 M33-2. You'll need to install 4.01 M33 first, then update to 4.01 M33-2. Hopefully that makes more sense.

I recommend checking out the 4.01 M33 installation guide here: http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=7669

dude i accidentally went straight to 4.01 M33-2. now my psp won't start up after i successfully updated. Is there any way to undo this? plz help
and thanks for your effort.

Famous 1.5kernel add-on bug.
Even I had the problem, so I just use eLoader for 1.5kernel games.

Has anyone else noticed that the "Fake Region" for UMD Movies option doesn't seem to work in this release?

I've done a little searching around and found one comment (elsewhere) which confirmed my testing, but nothing about a fix or workaround - I realise UMD movies are probably a little rare, but this is actually for a friend of mine who owns a number of UMD movies (of the wrong region, which is the whole reason I battled to get an M33 FW on his PSP in the first place.. d'oh!).

It isn't exactly a bug - the fake region setting is not for UMD movies, it's only there to activate certain firmware features that display depending upon the region.

Anyways, I don't believe there is a way of bypassing the region protection on UMD movies yet.

i need help!!!

how come when I tried installing the 4.01 M33 I only got the black screen... saying

"Unpacking... done.
Please Wait..."

then it just stays like this. I also tried it with the 3.90 CFW but still get the same message. Anyone have any ideas please? I've only updated to 3.52 M33-4 and can't go up any further.

=(

<p>hey folks! like many of the others I am new to this, I updated to the 4.01 when my 3.90 33m started flickering and became very slow to respond, now that its fixed after the update now I can't seem to run my cso files. If I'm not in the right place to ask this kind of question, can I get a like to a good place to start?</p>
