Hi Zepplin! Can you access the Recovery Menu? You can do that by Holding down the R shoulder button while you turn on the PSP. If you can access this menu, you are in luck as you can do a clean flash of 1.50 from recovery and from there 3.52 M33 ==> 3.90 M33

Please reply!

 

sure.. glad to be of help..^^

 

the newer versions [the M33 ones] have more features than that OE cfw's.. the features that your firmware already have are updated in the newer versions..[that's why it's called update..^^]

and new games made for the psp now use the new firmwares.. some can still be played on your current firmware, but they can have bugs and ruin your game..

 

hi there guys... my psp slim runs CFW's 3.71 m33. i want it to be upgraded into 3.90 m33 version. so the guide is here. all i want to know if ever i want to downgrade it back to 3.71 m33, is it possible? how? please help me... just in case only...thanks...

hoping for your replies...thanks!!!

 

You'll have to use "Despertar Del Cementerio v3"

Note : Also, while making your memory stick using "Despertar Del Cementerio v3" do not forget to change back to the original theme as making the memory stick on a custom theme would lead to a sem-brick of the PSP that you were going to install the cfw

 

simple & straight forward..thanks for this

 

what is that "Despertar Del Cementerio v3" thing?
sir, is it possible to downgrade from 3.90 m33 back to 3.71 m33? in case of semi bricking or bricking the psp..... and How?

 

im ok now guys with my newly updated version which is CFW 3.90 m33.no need to go back to 3.71. i have successfully updated it from 3.71.. thanks for all your help!!!!

 

Hello,

I installed 3.80 m33-5 a while ago, but i just wanted to ask how i can check my kernel (in recovery menu it says 1.50, but since 1.50 is mentioned everywhere in the guide, i dont know how to check it). Im not sure if i installed the kernel 1.50 patch(i did instal the kernel at all the previous versions, and im not even sure if i have to instal it), but i just ask before i do anything stupid. And i cant use the auto update for the version 3.80-5 and higer?

So, how do i check my kernel version, and how do i know if i have or have to instal the kernel 1.50 patch mentioned after 3.80 m33-5?
And can i use auto update for the version 3.80 m33-5 and up?




Installing 3.80m33-5 update

Download the update here http://dark-alex.org/

-place the update folder in psp/game
-go to game on the xmb and run the update
you should now be on 3.80m33-5
or if you have wireless internet you can update with network update


installing the 1.50 kernel patch
#download the 150 kernel addon from here http://dark-alex.org/
#download the 150 update from here http://rapidshare.com/files/67857715/163_EBOOT_1.50.zip
#rename the 150 update eboot to 150.pbp and place it in the root of your memstick
#extract the 150 kernel addon and put the files into a folder called update
#put the update folder in GAME380 folder on memstick
#scroll to game on xmb and launch the programme
#thats it you now have the 1.50 kernel

So im unsure about the part in fat letters.

Thanks in advance

Edit/Note: God Of war is downloading with 350 kb/s, sweet...
Question: What firmware if required for God Of war(psp)?

 

Well, your kernel version eh ???
The recovery does not show that you have 1.50 kernel, it shows that your GAME homebrew folder has 1.50 kernel (i.e the "ms0:\PSP\GAME" folder)

Well, the 1.50 kernel is optional and if you have a PSP slim, then you cannot install the 1.50 kernel
But if you have the PSP Classic, then the "bold letters" in your post says :-
-Download the 1.50 kernel http:\\www.dark-alex.org
-Then if you have the 1.50 official sony firmware EBOOT.PBP, rename it to 150.PBP and place it to the root of your memory stick
-Then run the program from your PSP and you'll have the 1.50 kernel addon

It's not much necessary as most homebrews work on 3.xx kernels now

btw, God Of War requires 3.90 firmware
The Game roxXx !!!

 

Oh oke thank you, so i have to check my folder if i already did the 1.50 kernel?
And about god of war, it runs on 3.80 m33-5, but sometimes it slows down(just call it lag, but i heard GoW used all the, i dont rlly, processor/cpu/gpu power?, so do i have to raise that to get rid of the slowdown? My battery will suffer if i do it, but are there other things that can happen? (overheating or permanently damaging my battery).

 

Even I experienced slight slowdown in God Of War too but not much noticable
Well, GoW uses the full CPU/GPU clock speed i.e 333/166
Normally, games use the clockspeed 222/111 on the PSP

 

i would just like to add something..
i'm using a 3.80 M33-5 slim psp, and i have played GoW without any problems or slowdowns.. i experienced i slowdown when i started playing patapon.. to play patapon, the UMD mode must be in sony official -no umd- right? i think that's what makes GoW lag.. 'cause it did for me..

try setting the umd mode in the config of the M33 recovery to M33 Driver -no umd-, if it's not yet set.. if it already is.. i just wanted to give my opinion?^^

 

My PSP firmware is 3.90m33-3 and Gow works the same on both "Sony np9660" & even "M33 driver"
But well, sometimes, if many enemies are shown on screen at once, a noticable drop of 3 - 4 FPS (Which is very small and a little slowdown i.e it's nearly unnoticeable)
Well, the "sony np9660" driver for 3.80m33-5 is buggy >_<

 

Ok, the slowdown is only when there are alot of enemy's or a rom with much light and effects. i first went in m33 vhs menu, and i changed umd iso mode to m33 driver. and about the cpu clock game , how much is default? Im having serious problems trying to get in my recovery menu (its weird, i hold r before i switch psp on, and then the normal interface pops up), so i cant response on ur request changing stuff there.

sony np9660, i dont know if it helps ( and what the hell is it:? ), is it less bugged in 3.90m33 ?

I think im soon going to update to 3.90m33, is it worth it and if i think "3.90m33 isnt doing the job for me", can i change back then?

Already many thanks for all ur reply's, and if u re sick of responding , just ignore me and paste a google link in ur next reply.

 

Well, I'm satisfied with my 3.90m33-3
And you can downgrade back to 3.80m33-5 by using "Despertar del Cementerio v4"
