No 5.50 M33 Custom Firmware this time around.
Alex of Team M33 (Dark-AleX.org) has posted on their website that there are no plans to develop M33 custom firmware based on Firmware 5.50 which was released recently. While 5.50 did add support for sub folders and a new “news” ticker similar to the PS3 to the PSP’s XMB. M33 feel this one is worth skipping.

YAY! first comment!, i Agree with them,BUT they should probably be working on making CFW for psp 3000…..WHO AGREES?
May 7, 2009 at 10:10 pm
I agree
May 7, 2009 at 11:09 pm
I definitely agree! Maybe they could get rid of ISO/CSO support to show Sony that we are moving away from Piracy. (Just a thought, ’cause it is hard for these guys to have to work all the time to stay ahead of Sony in the hacking department)
May 8, 2009 at 12:54 am
Honestly, as long as unsigned code can run, piracy will always be there.
IT won’t be along until someone writes a updated and dependency-free iso loader again
May 8, 2009 at 6:16 am
I agree
hope this reaches to the guys up there..
May 9, 2009 at 11:53 am
MEEEE
damn right!!!!!!!!!!!!11
May 7, 2009 at 10:09 pm
i hope they are working on a method to get cfw on Ta-088v3 and psp 3000 with the chickHen
That would be sweeeeeet ^^
May 7, 2009 at 10:14 pm
ok its ight i hope they make cfw for the psp 3000 because i have one but it look so useless
May 7, 2009 at 10:20 pm
agree with dax -until better firm without bugs it won’t worth making it
May 7, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Guys who updated to 5.50 u are not lucky at all
May 10, 2009 at 5:06 am
What do you mean by that
May 7, 2009 at 10:27 pm
And i hope u are working on iso cso support soon
May 7, 2009 at 11:07 pm
Honestly, stop with the ISO/CSO support, PEOPLE!!! Sony shut down homebrew because of ISOs/CSOs!!!
If Sony would release an OFW with support for homebrew (but without ISO/CSO, of course), I would happily upate. Although, it is a bit of a pain to haul UMDs around (I have an 8GB card, so I usually rip several of my UMDs to it for convenience), I don’t mind it because IT STOPS GUYS LIKE YOU FROM RUINING HOMEBREW!
May 7, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Really…
What kind of good homebrew are we talking here? Because I sure don’t see much beyond emulators, which guess what? they all think is piracy anyways. Anyway you slice it, CFW is piracy to Sony. Not all iso/cso is piracy, so chill out. I want iso support so I can keep all 5 of my OWN ripped UMDs on my 8gig stick and be able to use the psn store to get downloadable only releases. Can’t do both right now and frankly the iso support for my own ripped games outweighs getting the new stuff for now. I guess that makes me candidate #1 for the new download only psp just so I can have all my games in one static place.
May 7, 2009 at 10:30 pm
what the fuck their is a way to make 5.50 a hackable version just that they are to lazy to do it post7
May 8, 2009 at 12:09 am
yeah but 5.50 has a standby bug anyway
maybe once its fixed
id rather see CFW on the 3000, so they should work on that!
And i hope everyone realizes EMULATORS ARE PIRACY TOO
i mean i guess if you still have your cartidges sitting around then i guess your ok
but Nintendo doesnt think so (Theyve got their virtual console)
And ISO/CSO hurts devolpers no less then Gamestop/EB Games and every other place that sells used games
its the way life is, not fair.
An ISO launcher will be , redundantly, launched
mark my words.
not by Davee or m33, but it willl be
May 8, 2009 at 12:52 am
Emulators ARE NOT A PIRACY
that’s a consoles that were stopped of being produced years ago so Nintendo can’t get any profit of it and the emulators are the only way to play such a classic games so Emulators ARE NOT A PIRACY
However the ISO/CSO is so neither Davee nor DAX would rellease it however someone will -it’s a metter of time as it’s not so hard to be written
May 10, 2009 at 8:45 am
Wrong. ISOs are not piracy either. However they encourage piracy as it allows people to share games just like it would be if you could burn your own UMDs. If you own the game and have an ISO and use it for yourself its fine. But if you give that ISO to someone else then its piracy
May 10, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Sigh… Emulators ARE illegal, as they run copyrighted code from a system out side of the EULA. However, companies usually do not mind (and even endorse – Contra 4 FTW) emulators for old systems.
Its a case by case basis.
Oh and I do want a CSO/ISO loader, but I can wait. Its just because I keep breaking my UMDs, but still priority one is a CFW for the 3000.
May 7, 2009 at 10:40 pm
heyyy Alex if u ever read this—
PLEASE HELP US JOIN THE COMMUNITY AGAIN AND MAKE OUR 3OOO’S WORK
MAKE THE FIRMWARE TO RUN ISO’S AND CSO’S PLZZZZZZZZZZ
OUR PSP 3K’s R USELESS WITHOUT UR WORK………
May 7, 2009 at 10:48 pm
5.50 are hackeable plis
May 7, 2009 at 10:51 pm
yeah do a cfw for the 3000 series psp with the chickhen is a new hope.
May 7, 2009 at 10:52 pm
1.) HEN will not work on 5.50.
2.) Team M33 are not working on an ISO/CSO loader.
3.) You cannot install CFW through the chickHEN. If you do, this is what will happen: http://www.dark-alex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=13500 (thought that was important to note).
And remember, the HEN won’t get us much closer to hacking the pre-IPL. You would need more of a low-level exploit, or hardware hack to dump the pre-IPL.

I really hope they come out with 5.50-M33!
I especially hope they come out with it for PSP-3000 (Something that can be installed via HEN)
May 7, 2009 at 11:05 pm
teh psp 2010 ,5.50 don support tiff any other hack for this version o the psp are stuck

good so they didn’t break up yet I heard they did lol
May 8, 2009 at 12:10 am
technically they did… but DAX still pumps out m33 CFW with some help from the others
May 8, 2009 at 12:18 am
i think DAX is not making any updates this is to giveway for the upcoming game realeses for the psp handheld. making updates will only let the game manufacturer stop producing new games.
May 8, 2009 at 1:33 am
I can’t belivie it noobs tried to flash custom firmware onto there PSP-3000. Thats a BRICK!
May 8, 2009 at 1:51 am
lets wish for a hero who will enable iso cso
May 8, 2009 at 3:31 am
Is the ISO support really being developed Dark-Alex. or are you bluffing?
May 8, 2009 at 7:45 am
Probably, my broken PSP when fixed, the software will be upgraded to 5.50. So, please.. I’m begging you to make an M-33 for that software. please.:)
May 8, 2009 at 11:02 am
100% AGREE
May 8, 2009 at 11:10 am
Team M33 is right. OFW 5.50 is not worth hacking.
It doesnt have much great features
May 8, 2009 at 6:40 pm
hey guys. . . . . . . . . . . .
you know billions of psp users are waiting for version 5.50 m33. . .
they all depend on you. . . . so please don’t let our hopes down. . . .
May 9, 2009 at 6:30 am
ISO/CSO enable is dependent on Sony now. One Sony releases the new OFW (with bette features),maybe team M33 will be interested and therefore, together with DAX, create a new CFW for PSP 3000.
May 9, 2009 at 4:52 pm
juz do it plz…. all ppl nid it… plz ALEX!!!!
May 9, 2009 at 5:15 pm
it´s officially 2010 sony won´t produce any umd´s more,so there´s a reason more to try to hack the psp 3000
May 10, 2009 at 5:30 am
Iso/Cso is piracy!!!!!!!!
Emulators technically aren’t piracy because the company doesn’t sell the console or it’s games any more. But yet it is piracy.
We need a 5.50 m33 bug fix that stops the standby mode bug.
May 10, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Yeah, you guys should just wait for 6.00
May 10, 2009 at 4:01 pm
i hope that 5.00 m33-6 comes out for the 3000 so i dnt have to mess with this chickhen exploit
May 11, 2009 at 1:57 pm
i dont think dax will make psp 3000 cfw coz its probably too hard to hack. is it a rumor or a fact that
by 2010 there will be no more umds?
if anyone reads this plaese answer, positive and/or negative it doesnt matter
the only hope now is for cfw 6.00 m33
May 12, 2009 at 1:15 am
someoen PLEASE MAKE A 5.50 i got mine from a pawnshop and i would love to have what everyone else got i hate the asshole who upgraded this before i bought it!!!!!!!!!!1

May 25, 2009 at 5:39 pm
WHY!!!!!!!!!
May 26, 2009 at 3:10 pm
you people are ridiculous stop complaining about your stupid PSP 3000’s if you really want somthing done learn how to code and do it your self. 3000 shouldn’t be priorotized before 2000’s just because there are people out there who are two cheap to buy their own games.
May 27, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Dark_alex cannot hack psp3006 honestly..he’s making excuse hahaha..
he wont release anything coz he dont know how to hack it..logical answer….
June 2, 2009 at 7:46 am
plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!make a 5.50m33. im stuck with my 5.50 version and it sucks. cmon do it for us players
June 3, 2009 at 8:32 am
hey 5.50 is required to play ff7 =( please make a m33 of 5.50 thanks!
June 4, 2009 at 3:14 am
Great, thanks to this I can’t play the new re-release of FFVII. >.<
June 4, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Bummer… I just purchased FF7 off the PS Store and I guess I’m SOL until the next CFW release.
June 4, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I think now he should be thinking about making a cfw 5.50 just to be able to play FFVII. I was so disappointed when I tried to play it *sigh* at least that is good enough reason for me… lets hope DAX is a fan of FF7 just as much as we are! =p
June 9, 2009 at 8:18 am
Actually you don’t need to upgrade to play FFVII or to download any of the PSN store downloads. You just need to change a certain text file so it thinks you have new firmware but don’t.
Just change the USB mode to flash 0 and go to vsh folder then to etc. There is a a txt file called version.txt. copy it to the desk or folder for backup. Open it and it should look like this:
release:5.00:
build:2740,0,3,1,0:builder@vsh-build6
system:46876@release_500,0×05000010:
vsh:p6264@release_500,v46652@release_500,20081010:
target:1:WorldWide
Just replace the 0’s behind the 5’s to 5’s and it should look like this.
release:5.50:
build:2740,0,3,1,0:builder@vsh-build6
system:46876@release_550,0×05500010:
vsh:p6264@release_550,v46652@release_550,20081010:
target:1:WorldWide
Save it and exit USB mode and go to the recovery menu (reset + R) under configuration enable version.txt
Enjoy buying from the PSN again.
June 13, 2009 at 9:10 am
SDMF. you did it. youre the man. this actually worked. no need to update crap just use version.txt. follow this guys instructions! great! thanks bruv!
August 13, 2009 at 11:05 pm
I was wondering if this work to be able to play iso that need the 5.50 updates like madden 10 or GI JOe.
August 20, 2009 at 12:41 am
cant seem to find the selection in recovery menu to enable the version.txt and this is not working for maybe that reason.
June 5, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Can you guys plz do research on the libtiff for al the noobs (like me)how noobishly uploadded to 5.5:(
if there wouth come a exploit that wouth be epic!
June 8, 2009 at 1:57 pm

June 11, 2009 at 12:55 am

June 8, 2009 at 8:17 pm

June 12, 2009 at 9:27 pm

FF7 Forever!!!!
June 12, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Hey i dont see a reason to actually upgrade now… and if anything most likely there will be another cfw update so if you want something during thats in this update just update to the OFW and wait… Pandora bat should help you for the next cfw update anyway ^^
June 14, 2009 at 5:43 am
nice one kevin.. man i was hoping they would come out with 5.50… i accedent upgraded but pandora will still downgrade 5.50 right??
