4.01 M33-2 Update from Encript on Vimeo.

Just a day after 4.01 M33 was released Dark Alex does it again releasing an update to his custom firmware for the psp. This update was very easy to do if your already on a custom firmware. All you do is make a folder called UPDATE and place it in your GAME folder on your memory stick. In this folder you place the official 4.01 update file but you rename it to 401.PBP. Then it uses the official sony updater software to get on you 4.01 M33. Once your on the latest firmware then you can grab the 4.01 M33-2 and update it the same way, place it in your update folder on your memory stick and run the updater. Note that if your running homebrew on 4XX kernel you need to rename your folder to GAME4XX respectively. This will help you out so you don’t have to keep renaming your folders every time a new firmware is released. After it was stated that 1.50 firmware kernel would no longer be used, Dark Alex does just that and also adds 1.50 firmware kernel. If you wish to install this add on place it in under your GAME4XX folder on your memory stick. Then grab the official sony 1.50 firmware rename it to 150.PBP and place it on the root of your memory stick then you can run the addon. So if you were reluctant on upgrading this shouldnt stop you since now everything should now run fine.

Update After running some tests it looks as though wifi might not be functioning correctly. I have one PSP with 3.90 M33-3 and another just updated to 4.01 M33-2 and when trying to communicate to play wifi it is very iffy. They use to work fine when they were both on 3.90 M33. Emulators that use to work on wifi no longer work and Space Invaders Extreme also does not work correctly. It states that you should check the wifi switch even though its switched in the proper place. Please confirm with me if anyone else is having this issue after updating.

Update 2 I needed to run macfixer because i had switched motherboard that was totally my bad wifi working correctly and all working thanks darkalex for another piece of gold.

Thanks Dark Alex April Fools.

April Fool

Hahahahahahha you soooooooo got me when you released a new firmware 3.90M33-3 update which corrects better compatibility for NO UMD mode. So now Patapon was able to work and all was right with the world. Then I go to play Burnout Dominator and in the middle of the game the race comes to a sudden crash. This happens right when I was about to get gold on a level that I have a hard time getting gold for. Now this is not the type of crash you would expect from a burnout game but rather a system crash. So my system reboots itself and my pink april background is now green like last months color. I check my system information, it now states my mac address as 33:33:33:33:33:33 and firmware 3.33M33 with the date March 33. March 33 hahaha every one knows that march doesn’t have that many days. Or does it? lol So after a few attempts to make it April 2nd it wouldn’t take so I instead changed it to April 3rd. So just leave it on April 3rd and then fix it again tomorrow. Hhahahahaha bastard.
