Good news for those that are awaiting for news on 4.00 M33. Mathieulh has commented on a couple of great new features that are going to be introduced in this up and coming M33 custom firmware.
Custom Firmware 4.00 M33 will feature an XMB recovery mode, which will allow access to the recovery menu from within the PSP main menu / XMB. A feature which was first introduced in 3.95 GEN, now will be a part of M33 firmware. The second new and more exciting feature to be added is native savestate support. Users can save and load their progress at any given time while playing a UMD game. Much like what many common PSP emulators have. However it has not been decided yet if it will be part of the released 4.00 M33 firmware or released as an add-on / Plug-in.
Still no release date yet on 4.00 M33 but its looking good. Savestate support will be very handy indeed.
- Update: 4.01 M33 has been released.

“make up for sony’s losses”

“make sony’s losses”
cuz of all the pirated games……

DAMNATION way to go savestates may come in handy for games that cant save before fighting a boss
June 22, 2008 at 12:22 am
Wow….savestate support?! That would really be handy in several circumstances! =D I am amazed. That is so awesome.
June 22, 2008 at 2:40 am
yeah like lego star wars where it’s a bitch to find a save point
June 22, 2008 at 2:58 am
Yeah, im having trouble with grand theft auto :lbs. I know that sounds pathetic but in certain situations after finishing a mission i want to go to the safehouse but then i haf to go there and come back and its so far and takes 5 minutes… Plus if u die u lose all ure guns which i hate. So i haf to save after every mission. This will be useful indeed
June 22, 2008 at 4:18 am
Yes, nice work Team M33. Sony couldn’t add anything substantial in 4.00, so M33 has to step in and add it for us

June 22, 2008 at 4:05 pm
So many forum that discussed about pandora battery. You have to read all about pandora in them.
June 22, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Ok but can i just upgrade it to a custom firmware without using a pandora battery?
June 22, 2008 at 4:46 pm
you can not just upgrade 4.00 to 4.00m33, just not possible, but if you were able to make or buy a pandora’s battery then yes, theoretically if you had all the files on the magic memory stick of the pandora battery you would be able to upgrade to 4.00m33. of course you can make a pandora’s battery by yourself which is unrecommended for noobs or buy a pandora’s battery for around 50 dollars on ebay or amazon. Good Luck XD

June 22, 2008 at 6:11 pm
nope, the battery is a hardware thing, they can’t patch for that, they’d have to release all new motherboards or batteries
June 22, 2008 at 7:06 pm

Guys try our forum for help on how to make a Pandora battery, if you can’t make one you could always buy a PSP Tool battery by Datel
which is just like a Panadora and will put your PSP in service mode.

I like the savestate support, but I don’t think I’ll be upgrading soon.
June 23, 2008 at 3:59 am
Do you think it will have the pandora feature that gen has?
The one that pandorizes or normalizes your battery from the recovery menu.

how to upgrade my official firmware to custom firmware!!!! help me!!!
June 23, 2008 at 4:05 am
@24 & 27 I installed custom firmware on my ofw 4.0 on saturday. I used my bro-in law’s fat to make the pandora battery, it worked, 4.0 didn’t break anything.
June 23, 2008 at 8:32 am
hey ThatGuy/ThatGut (lol).
if you deleted the magic mem stick files on your mem card, which i’m pretty sure is what happened, then when you put in your pandora’s battery it’ll come up with just a black screen. Just put the files back on and you should be fine.
June 23, 2008 at 9:30 am
and the awards for repeating themselves over and over goes to ::drum roll:: Thanks and kreativethinkr or w/e. congrats guys! savestate support will be amazing, as if the m33 team havent given us enough. if they could get that going for the eboots that would be sweet!

4.00 M33 is not out yet, you’ll have to wait. You need to make a PSP Magic Memory stick. Please see our tutorials section in the forums. http://pspslimhacks.com/psp-tutorials/

@thanks, Read the forums. You’ll find everything you need and you won’t have to ask the same questions over and over.
4.00 M33 is not yet out as PSPFan said in the article and comments.
Pandora is the ONLY way to hack a slim. It will also work on ANY PSP!!
June 23, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Would it be possible to save the setting for Video’s Screen Mode? I like to set it to Full Screen but it always resets to Normal after every hard reset. Is there a prx plugin or possible for Dark Alex to implement?
June 23, 2008 at 4:37 pm
