I dunno if to get the kernel add-on, cuz i dunno what homebrew i can use with it that i cant use right now.
well this should help alot of people still using 1.5 kernal emulators
i think alot of apps that arent emulators use the 3.x kernal though
I havent updated yet. Now imight tho knowing that some issues will be gone but i dont use a 1.5 kern so it really didnt make a difference to me anyhow. Might wait for 4.01 m33-3 if there is one
I know this is offtopic but what were the problems with 3.90 m33-2 ? i never figured it out
Yeah i think there might be a 4.01 m33-3 with xmb recovery and savestate support.
hey it says wont start i put everything in but it wont work. i currently have the psp offical firmware 3.95 soo what am i doing wrong
if i can be helped e-mail me at joeycooper93@yahoo.com
You need to have cfw already if u dont u need to use a pandora.
WARNING!!!! If you hold the “R” Trigger and power your PSP on with this new firmware…once you change the settings and hit “EXIT”…YOUR PSP WILL BRICK!!! I have flashed and recovered my PSP 4 times now testing this…it BRICKS every time if you go into the RECOVERY menu and hit “EXIT” Highly recommend not upgrading to this version until this flaw is fixed!!
Umm, I go to the recovery and do whatever i need to do and hit exit and it doesnt brick my psp and i am using this version.
I have 6 PSP’s and over a dozen memorysticks…I have tried it on different combinations…all with the same result. I am currently running 3.93M33-3 on all my PSP’s…so just maybe that has something to do with it?!? Maybe I’ll downgrade one to 3.80 and give it a try…but I’m tired of messing with it right now…I didn’t see anything really new that makes it a must have flash anyways at this point.
I dont think having 3.90 m33-3 is the problem, cuz i had the same version before i upgraded and there was no problem at all, maybe its a plugin u have.
no problem with recovery for me too..
I don’t think its a plugin…I only have 2, and the system runs fine and seems to play all my emulators and such…but the problem happens when I go into the recovery menu to change from UMD boot to M33 boot…I make the change…back out of the config. menu…hit “exit” and brick. The 2 plugins are a theme plugin and popsloader plugin. It really don’t matter…it ran long enough for me to see no noticable difference in functionality then that of 3.93M33-3 so until some software comes along that requires the newer firmware…I’ll stick with the old saying…if its not broke don’t fix it.
Wait! a theme setting? the cxmb? cuz when i used to activate the cxmb plugin and hit exit the screen would just black out, it could be fixed though, going to recovery and deactivating it, in the end i got the new version of cxmb and now i can use it, oh and i set it to m33 boot and it didnt brick, u should try check those things.
hey guys, im skeptical so far, hearing such mixed reviews. so i am asking to only those with 4.01m33-2 to reply.
is it honestly an improvement over 3.90m33-3, or is it currently more of a hassle?
Well 4.01 m33-2 isnt such a big deal, since it still doesnt have the xmb recovery or savestate support, maybe in 4.01 m33-3 it will. but m33-2 the only thing it changes is support for new game titles, some internet search thing and that u can change the speed of videos, its really not a big deal, but u can upgrade if u want or simply wait for m33-3.
savestate is already out for slim onli…check out at dark alex
really!? nice gonna check right now.
i just letting anyone know that 4.01m33-2 is good and stable. but when you load alot of games like 3 to 4gb, sometimes the memory stick has to be formated again?? the 8gb’s are real, (SANDISK) I loaded my 8gb into a fat psp with 3.90m33-3 and it worked fine. maybe 4.01m33-2 needs a mspatch?
Thanks for the suggestion with the theme plugin…I will delete it and retry. Will post result later. Anyone know of any particular game that does require this new firmware?
Installed the new custom frimware, and all ym games are working perfectly.At first falout head on did’t work for me. But now it works great.DAX YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
(Sorry for all the mistakes in previous post)

Just updated my Slim to 4.01 M33-2 from 3.71… Things I noticed besides the new applications (Skype and Internet Search) were:
1) Certain games are experiencing significant slowdowns, both in screen loading times and in-game animations as well (Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2, massive slowdown during song loading)
2) A major issue with music playback - not sure if it’s an issue with VBR MP3 streams, but playback suffers massive slowdowns randomly (audio playback slows down, music track needs to be paused then played again to return to normal)
Any of you guys experienced these?
ok thanks, ill just install the ofw and forget about custom firmware because im pretty shure i cant get a pandora in alaska on my budget! if anyone can help me hack my psp 3.95ofw slim e mail me at joeycooper93@yahoo.com
Hi Thanks for the post but i am having some problem . The problem is i follwoed this step from step A “On the XMB menu on your computer, navigate to GAME > Memory Stick and run the 4.01 M33 update. When you run the update, the screen turns black. Follow the text instructions. It will take you to the Official Sony Update screen. That is normal. Continue with the process following the instructions.” but when i run the setup i get a error message saying ” This game could not be started [8002014b]” Please help by emailing back to me thank alot hopw you can troubleshoot this or give me some direction. Thanks
Best Regards , Adi
Final Fantasy 7 works great on this firmware. No popsloader required. I cant get cwcheatpops to work anymore though.
I have a psp slim with the OFW 4.01 and no way to obtain a pandora battery or make one (since i apparently have a newer pandora proof battery) is there anyone who can help? e-mail me at falloutsurvivor@yahoo.com
I am trying to download a custom firmware and can not get it to run. and i literally live in the sticks so i will spend fifty dollars just to get to a wal-mart. so if there is anyone who can help me i would appreciate it.
Can anyone help me? I just updated my psp to version 4.01 and I heard about downgrading and hacking your psp afterwards… I wanted to downgrade it to 3.90 m33.. Or where I can download games and stuff like that.. I know a little bit about psp’s and computers, but not enough to do this myself.. If you can help, msg me on aim: mcmillanbrid Yahoo: Bridgetmcmlln@yahoo.com Msn: Bridget417@hotmail.com Or email: bridgetmcmlln@tmail.com Thank you.

I am also having slow downs with my god of war iso I made. During the opening cutscene about half way through it gets “choppy”. I have posted in the help thread over at psp-hacks.com, you should aswell and see if we can get any help!
Help anyone!i have just upgraded to a 4.01 from a 3.90 and i cant play any of my games and it says THERE IS NO GAME.
I just upgraded to 4.01-2 and what i can’t understand is why the popsloader won’t work.I enabled it but when i hold on to R as the eboot loads it won’t go to the version select menu.I mean i can play psx titles but i like having the option of choosing which loader i can use.Do i need to wait for a new popsloader?i even downloaded the 3.80-2 and still the same results…
You guys looking to downgrade without a CFW psp should do some research on Datel TOOL batteries and psp easyinstallers, the battery aint free but its worth it if your can’t get a pandoras battery elsewhere
hey i have the same problem as ju’netti popsloader don’t work it just hang whenever i select loader. i wonder when the pops for 4.01 be release. anyway many thanks for all the developers, dark alex and team m33 keep on rocking.
Alot of people are bashing the purchase of the battery because it can be done for free, but I say to heck with them. It is not worth the trouble to go through the battery deal and look at the bright side, you are saving money in the long run.
I have CFW 3.71 M33-4…can I just go straight to Custom Firmware 4.01 M33-2 without any problems or will I have to go in sequence from 3.71?
anyone can help me please.. my psp cfw 4.01 m33-2 have a problem, i don’t know how to fix it.. because every time im in the game and holding the square buttons its starting to “DUMPING” a memory dump appears.. i don’t know why!! i don’t think were the problem is.. the other plugins or the OFW i have.. please help.. thanks everyone..
thanks to dark alex.. this CFW works fine for me.. and the savestate works fine loading and saving.. but only have 1 problem.. “DUMPING” memory dump and when it dump.. my memory having low because of the dumping memory, almost 25MB every dump.. memorydump0, memorydump1, etc every dump consumes a 25MB of memory space.. waaaa..
im using PSP Slim with CFW 4.01 m33-2. is this 1.50 kernel add on work on slim? I also to dump a UMD using UMDumper, but I cant play the game I dumped. how can I fix this problem?
wow guys thats odd. the 3.80 m33 v2 popsloader worked perfect for me, also the cwcheatpops works great on my PSP 4.01 m33-2 0.o
@ rhodlhey
try shutting off the psp completely. then turn it on while holding “R”. Go to “Configuration” then go to “UMD mode” keep pressing “X” until it says “Sony NP9660 -NO UMD-” thats what helped me =D. If that doesn’t work, try re-dumping the ISO. 1) put a game in the PSP 2) turn on PSP 3) press “select” 4) go down to “USB Device” 5) go left once and it should say “UMD Disk” 6) press “exit” then go to “USB Connection” 7) a window should pop up with the file “ISO9660″ that is the ISO (the game in the “ISO format”) 9) drag it somewhere on your computer 10) once it’s on your computer, exit USB Mode 11) press “select” again 12) change “USB Device” back to “Memory Stick” 13) exit the M33 VSH Menu 14) go back to “USB Connection” 15) this time, you should see the files on your memory stick. 16) Create a folder called “ISO” if you didn’t already 17) Stick the ISO in there =D 18) DONE!
if it still doesn’t work, the game you dumped (UMD) is probably damaged in some way.
On step “9″, if you see the error “Cannot Copy File. Parameter is incorrect” (think thats what it says), it means that the UMD game is probably damaged in some way.
(UMD’s don’t have to look damaged to be dammaged)
Good Luck! Hope that helped you and some other ppl out!
Any one else’s xmb/usb plugin not working? When I hold the music note and hit L-Trig, the mute just comes on. But I also noticed that when I listen to music ” Mostly stolen Howard Stern ” The PSP will now automatically return to the title of the last Mp3 you were listing to, when ever you exit the Music folder in the xmb. That is a nice feature if you use your psp to listen to music, which i do every day. I use this thing for way more then just games. Sony really needs to step up on PSP-3000. Ill pay more for touch screen, phone, Large Flash HD, and the same shit it dose now. with the forgotten 2nd analog button.
hmmmm….. everything works out just fine… i have a slim psp cfw 4.01 m33-2 cwcheat working, cxmb enable.. anyway i dont want to upgrade it from 3.90 m33-2 but i wanna play phantasy star portable and it requires 3.95 firmware so i upgrade it to 4.01 m33-2… so far so good no problem at all…new release game requires new firmware… like skate park city.. the new madden nfl i think… code lyoko… much more….
Hey man, check what format your card is, if it’s formatted to fat32 try makin it fat16 i had the problem you discribed a while back and found that it was because of the partion type of the memory stick
