PSP Custom Firmware 3.52 M33 Update #2

[x3sphere]

Hi I have a problem similar to fearlex. My PSP CFW is 3.52 M33-4. I encountered an error saying "game could not be started..." then I read this forum and learned that I have to disabled some of the configs under the recovery menu, both in configuration, Advanced -> Advanced Configuration. I did it and was able to play the games saved in my MS but after using a wallpaper saved in my MS, the settings I just configured returned to it's previous configuration resulting to the same error I encountered before. Looks like using a wallpaper reverts the setting. Well the solution as of now is not to use a wallpaper at all any advice? thanks!

@nicolojaime: are you sure your flash1 is properly set up? First connect a USB cable, enter Recovery mode, then go to Advance and toggle flash1 USB. Make sure you have a "vsh" folder there. Inside the vsh folder should be a "theme" folder.

hi i got another problem can some1 help when i get some games and put them on the PSP it comes up with an error Transferring the games file is corrupt or something and when its going ti freezes and closes it i have 3.52M33 Phat PSP thanks =)

@PSP_user: sounds like a bad USB cable... that wouldn't be caused by the firmware.

You need to enter Recovery mode by holding R during bootup and in Configuration, switch the GAME folder kernel homebrew setting to 3.52.

Hold R during bootup. Your PSP should boot to a black menu screen, then go to Advanced and there should be an option to format1 there.

There should be an option that reads "Format flash1 and reset settings." I definitely remember it being in 3.52 M33, although maybe it was added to the M33-4 update.

Try updating to M33-4 if you haven't already:

Odd, well in recovery mode connect a USB cord to the PSP and go to "Toggle flash1 USB"

Go inside of vsh, and make sure you have a wallpaper folder there. If not, create it.

Apart from that you might want to try shutting off your PSP after setting a wallpaper and then turning it back on and see if the wallpaper stays.

ur good

woah yeah, i tried setting a wallpaper and shutting it down, when i rebooted it wasn't thre anymore. haha.. i tried making the vsh and it worked, dude you're the best! i have one more noob question if you don't mind.. what are the advantages of 3.71 m33-3 over 3.52 m33-4, if there are any, and personally, which do you prefer? thanks a lot. i just got started in modding my psp last night so i'm still learning.

Personally I prefer 3.71 M33. But it is not for everyone. Homebrew is not as compatible with 3.71 M33, unless you install the 1.5 kernel patch. Plus some people have odd issues with 3.71 M33 that result in bricking.

So... being that you're new to the PSP scene, I would recommend staying on 3.52 M33-4 for now, until you get more familiar with custom firmware. In the end there are really no advantages of running 3.71 M33, aside from the fact its running 3.71 kernel as opposed to 3.52.

There are some advantages to 3.71. The vsh menu is more user friendly and handy. Extra options like using .ptf theme. More psone support and alot of cool plugins are made for 3.71 m33 now.

thanks a lot!! i'll do as u say and stay on 3.52 m33-4 for now :biggrin:

now i'm trying out emu's for my psp. i tried snes9xTYL 0.4, and it works, but it makes the gameplay so slow.. any way to fix this..? thanks!

Delete the file and buy the UMD. You'll never have the problem.
