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.

Dark_AleX's LEDA 0.2

Dark_AleX has released an update to LEDA, which sports much improved compatibility over the first release. What is LEDA? Its a legacy software loader which will allow users to run 1.5 kernel homebrew on a PSP-1000 (Fat) or PSP Slim.
Dark_AleX has warned that issues may arise when installing LEDA with other plug-ins running. To stop any errors please disable any active plug-ins before starting the installation process, then re-enable them once you have finished installing.

Dark_AleX has released LEDA .01, this is a Legacy Software Loader which allows 1.5 kernal to be loaded without having to be installed each time there is a new version of M33. Very handy, it even works on PSP Slim units! Since this is a beta, at the moment its not compatible with all 1.5 kernel homebrews out there. But compatibility is being worked on.

Dark_Alex's fix for the PSX error in 5.00 M33

Dark_Alex has posted a solution to users who are experiencing error 0xFFFFFFFF while trying to load PSX games.

This is a bug in M33 code that is caused sometimes with certain icons.
I’m not gonna bother do an update only for this but I’ll post the file that fixes this for anyone wanting to fix it manually replacing the file.

This also fixes document.dat not working.

There is also a work around either by use the original command line PSX conversion tool or you can just select the “Old Default” icon in the options in PSX2PSP.

Dark_Alex has supplied these mirrors for the fixed popcorn.prx

5.00 M33 out now

Its only been a few days and Dark_AleX has released Custom Firmware 5.00 M33 at lightning speed.

Apart from the obvious firmware number change (see below), this update comes with a bug fix.
Dark_AleX:

Bug fix: when changing speed in xmb, and the psp turned the brightness to 0 automatically the speed was reseted to 222 again.

The readme also mentions that users of the save state plug-in will have to wait for an update due to problems with compatibility.

You will need Official PSP Firmware 5.00 below:

Thanks Naruto for the tip.

The wait is finally over!  Dark_Alex has released DCv6, so we can all relax (a little) regarding the new TA-088 mobos wreaking havoc in the CFW scene…  Also, the new version allows you to boot from the memstick as well as a new interface! Changelog after read more.

- Now installs 4.01 M33-2
- Change of core. Now it uses 4.01 M33 core. This fixes some TA-88 crashing because of 1.5/3.40 kernel. Note that there are still other kind of newest TA-88 which cannot boot DC at all.
- Gui of both installer and DC itself changed to a xmb looking one.
- Added the option “Test M33″ which boots 4.01 M33-2 from the memory stick.

• TA-088v3 partially hacked (200)

The new TA-088 Motherboard/CPU issue has been examined, and DA is working on it!  The problem seems to base from not just the new motherboards, but the new CPU’s being installed.  Some TA-088s can be flashed, so it’s kind of a gamble at this point.  Dark_Alex has stated that the problem has to do with the core of Despretar Cementario runs off of 1.50/3.40, something that evidently the new CPU’s can’t handle.  A new version of Despretar Cementario will not be realeased until they have remade the Core.

More on this issue and the quote from Alek himself will be found after the read more tag

Alek says:

As you might have already seen, there are some mobos (TA-088 ones, slim models) in where the IPL used for Despertar del Cementerio, Pandora and Time Machine therefore, doesn’t work.

IPL can be still run from the Memory Stick, but just those that are signed by Sony, and not the ones that contain a different signature; a problem that will probably block the actual way of running your cfw’s, as you couldn’t even load on this NANDs the custom IPLs with different signature.

Even though, IPL is not the problem, but probably the mixed kernel of 1.50&&3.40, and it will be the best option to use a new kernel on Despertar del Cementerio future versions.

So, to sum up, new Dc version will not be released till the new Core and interface is finished. Please be patient

So there you have it folks, the new DC will be created, but not until they do some serious changes to it.

Custom Firmware and Homebrew master Dark_AleX has released a new custom firmware plugin called USB Version Fake. Its compatible with 4.01 M33 and will allow users to fake their PSP’s firmware version for PlayStation 3 connectivity. Handy as the PS3 will often check which firmware version your using and make sure its the lastest. Which might be something of a problem if your on PSP Custom Firmware.
