Mathieulh: 3.80 M33 CFW works perfectly now, almost done *UPDATE*

For those of us waiting for more news about the upcoming 3.80 M33 Custom Firmware for our Sony PlayStation Portables, wait no more. Mathieulh has revealed that as of this writing, the firmware in question is already running in perfect order – it just needs to have a few kinks straightened out.

Check out the complete status, as well as a new update, of the 3.80 M33 CFW in the full article.

More good news about the highly-anticipated Sony PlayStation Portable 3.80 M33 custom firmware, and this bit comes directly from none other than Mathieulh himself. It seems that as of this writing, the unreleased custom firmware is already in proper working order and boots perfectly. It runs all existing homebrew program in User Mode as well. This in itself should already be great news, as we’re pretty much guaranteed a safe, non-bricking and still awesome CFW to play with. Why, then, isn’t it released yet?

Mathieulh reports that there are still something that Dark AleX needs to iron out before declaring 3.80 M33 a finished product – namely, the NIDs Resolver that allows the launch of homebrew programs in Kernel mode. It will also help in making sure that all the plug-ins present will be usable without any extensive modifications. It’s safe to say that while this doesn’t sound like much, it’s still a very important (and very time-exhaustive) thing to work on, so we’ll just have to be patient until DAX ties up all the loose ends.

UPDATE: Those hoping to pick up the 3.80 M33 custom firmware may have to wait a few more days. It’s come to our attention that Mathieulh has given a small update on the work for the CFW. According to him, work is currently being finished on the NIDs Resolver, and we may very well see a release within the next week or so.

That being said, we suppose everyone will just have to keep patient in the meantime. We’ll keep checking around for updates, just in case in comes out sooner than expected, so feel free to keep QJ bookmarked for the latest updates on the upcoming CFW.
