Ok so maybe this is a dumb question: but what does "direct" launching of iso/cso's mean? I thought placing them in the "ISO" folder, booting up, then selecting the title from the game menu was pretty 'direct.'

Running 3.40OE-a right now - probably going to upgrade later w/ vids or pics. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Ahh - so it *was* a dumb question - heh. Very cool - can't wait to get home so I can upgrade.

Most importantly: has anyone had any PROBLEMS or ISSUES upgrading to this new version?

[Got rice?]

i've had no problems. The only problem might be that custom themes might not be compatible with this firmware but my custom gameboot still works.

i have not been able to get my iso's to work without a UMD in its drive, upgraded to 3.51 M33 last weekend and saw no difference, everything is just the same

[Got rice?]

there isnt much of a difference exceot remote play with ps3 and when UMD games require 3.50

seems I am correct as per noobz

"Recent Sony official firmwares (3.30 onwards) have included checks that block upgrade from previously-downgraded PSPs with TA-082 or later motherboards. If you use this downgrader on such a PSP, you will lock yourself out of official firmware updates - although you will still be able to use new OE firmwares when they are released. We intend to release a tool to allow a return to official firmwares in the future."

Upgraded with no problems at all, under 40s total. w00t!

this is probably a really really stupid question but i am gonna ask it anyways; is there any chance of bricking my psp by doing this?

By not following the instructions to the letter, yes. Things don't just randomly happen like that. Its a myth. Ensure that your battery is 75% or even full and check everything that needs checking. Dont interrupt any process. Good luck

Yes, unfortunately there is absolutely risk involved. What I can tell you is that once you've modded and upgraded - it is ultimately worth it, and you'll never want to go back. My advice is if you got it from a place like Gamestop opt for the 1yr replacement plan - even though under normal circumstances it's a ripoff.

My advice is hope for the best and expect the worst...

[bluedeath]

thank you both, can you tell me the odds of "bricking" it?
i got it shortly after it came out so my warranty is history and i got it from walmart :-(

Ok i'm running 3.02 OE-B

I downloaded the m33update_351.rar

unzipped it and stuck the "M33UPDATE_351" in "ms0:/PSP/GAME/"

I go out of USB mode and in the XMB i go to memory stick and see the update

I run it and it gives me this:

"The game could not be started. (80020148)

so what am i doin wrong?
