Team M33 rolls out Custom Firmware 3.52 Update #3

Team M33 called the shot, and they made it with a picture-perfect finish. Yes, PSP homebrew development fans, it’s the promised third update of their own Custom Firmware 3.52, with all the awesome bells and whistles to make your PlayStation Portable all that more tricked out (can you say popsloader?). Let’s cut the chit-chat and get right to what’s changed in this update!

Changes:

• Added more speeds: 75 and 133.
• Added flash2 and flash3 usb to recovery
• Added a setting in recovery to change the usb device to which XMB will connect.
• Added “vshmenu”, which is a menu that will appear when HOME is pressed in the XMB. It will interfere with existing
• XMB plugins that use HOME, so it can be disabled in recovery.
• – Added umd video iso support. The umd video isos are playes using vshmenu. Video isos go in
• /ISO/VIDEO folder. They require an UMD inserted because NO-UMD does not work.

Changes in popsloader:

• Support for 3.30 firmware. Instructions are same as in previous release, except 3.30
• firmware did not have libpspvmc.prx, so just ignore that file.
• Warning: There is an incompatibility between 3.30 savedata and later ones. If a savedata exists from 3.40+, the emulator will freeze.

A few notes from the M33 team about vshmenu and UMD video ISOs:

• vshmenu cannot be loaded when the browser is active. If you exit the browser, the firmware will still keep it in memory until you enter other area of xmb, until you do so, you will not be able to access vshmenu again either.
• video isos and the game isos show in xmb use the same core. Due to this, when you enter in game menu and there is some iso, if a video iso was currently mounted, it will automatically be unmounted.
• cso format is not supported for video isos.
• UMD audio isos are theoretically supported, but not tested. They go to /ISO/VIDEO.

As always, read the relevant readme files included in the zip file before applying the update to your PSP. This is custom firmware business, and tinkering around with it without proper information and knowledge could lead to bricking. And if you’re having fun using their custom firmware, why not send the M33 team a donation or two to their Paypal account? It would help loads for future firmware development!

Thanks to all those who sent in their tip!
