Dark-Alex / Team M33 – No Plans for 5.50 M33 Release.


No 5.50 M33 Custom Firmware this time around.

No 5.50 Custom Firmware this time around.

Alex of Team (Dark-AleX.org) has posted on their website that there are no plans to develop 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. feel this one is worth skipping.

      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)

        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

      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!

        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.

      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

        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

        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

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
