how i put 3.80 m33 on my 3.71 m33 psp slim??? plz someone a video or something!

Put the download into your update folder and goto your memory card the same way you’d play your isos/backups. its should be right there.
January 14, 2008 at 3:13 pm
ik doesn’t work by me can someone give me a toturial, i have official firmware 3.73
January 14, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Thanks M33 team!!!
January 14, 2008 at 3:32 pm
@huh – you can’t go from 3.73 official firmware (OFW) to 3.80 M33 custom firmware. Best option is to use a Pandora battery/ Magic memory Stick combo to downgrade your PSP to 3.71 M33-2 Custom firmware (CFW) then follow the instructions in the 3.80 M33 readme to install it. Also if you don’t know about the Pandora battery I suggest reading through forums like AfterDawn and MaxConsole HEAVILY to get the information you require.
P.S. DARK_ALEX ROCKS!!!!!! LONG LIVE DARK_ALEX AND THE M33 TEAM !!!

in the readme file its says to put the OFW in the folder and name it some name and then update at the usual way (pressing update in settings) and im not sure what to do! way there isnt some video how to update!
January 14, 2008 at 3:54 pm
when I get home I´ll make a video of what to do
January 14, 2008 at 4:02 pm
its quite simple, you must be on cfw to do this. grab the official 3.80 fw from sony site. Rename it to 380.PBP Download the 3.80M33 file, open it drag the update folder to desktop. Drop the 380.PBP file into the update folder. Connect PSP on usb. Goto PSP\GAME\ and drop your update folder there, overwriting when asked. Disconnect usb. Start 3.80 M33 and update. Press when finally finished to reboot. All Done! Check system info to verify 3.80 M33. Your done. Congrats

added note to what duder said…you have to access the update from the Game menu on your PSP (just trying to be as helpful as possible so don’t take it as an insult if you already knew) Also your battery has to be charged to at least 78% and leave your adaptor plugged in during the installation.

How do I install on a system that is already running 3.80? Won’t let you re-install the update. Or can I?
January 14, 2008 at 10:42 pm
you gotta use a pandora battery to downgrade it to 1.50 or some other custom firmware
WOOOOOO i finally got 3.80 M33
January 14, 2008 at 10:52 pm

January 15, 2008 at 1:21 am
Seems to work great so far. Internet radio is very cool. I was hopeing that Sony would have updated POPS so FF VIII would work better, but it still crashes a lot. All my homebrew still works.

did you rename the official fw to 3.80 PBP?????
if you didnt then there is a high chance you installed the officail fw
January 16, 2008 at 12:28 am
For total noobe
If you have a slim then you have no choice but to get a pandora battery somehow and downgrade it
January 16, 2008 at 4:25 pm
