Team M33 called the shot, and they made it with a picture-perfect finish. Yes, PSP homebrew development fans, it's the promised third update of their own Custom Firmware 3.52, with all the awesome bells and whistles to make your PlayStation Portable all that more tricked out (can you say popsloader?). Let's cut the chit-chat and get right to what's changed in this update!

Changes:

* Added more speeds: 75 and 133.
* Added flash2 and flash3 usb to recovery
* Added a setting in recovery to change the usb device to which XMB will connect.
* Added "vshmenu", which is a menu that will appear when HOME is pressed in the XMB. It will interfere with existing
* XMB plugins that use HOME, so it can be disabled in recovery.
* - Added umd video iso support. The umd video isos are playes using vshmenu. Video isos go in
* /ISO/VIDEO folder. They require an UMD inserted because NO-UMD does not work.

Changes in popsloader:

* Support for 3.30 firmware. Instructions are same as in previous release, except 3.30
* firmware did not have libpspvmc.prx, so just ignore that file.
* Warning: There is an incompatibility between 3.30 savedata and later ones. If a savedata exists from 3.40+, the emulator will freeze.

A few notes from the M33 team about vshmenu and UMD video ISOs:

* vshmenu cannot be loaded when the browser is active. If you exit the browser, the firmware will still keep it in memory until you enter other area of xmb, until you do so, you will not be able to access vshmenu again either.
* video isos and the game isos show in xmb use the same core. Due to this, when you enter in game menu and there is some iso, if a video iso was currently mounted, it will automatically be unmounted.
* cso format is not supported for video isos.
* UMD audio isos are theoretically supported, but not tested. They go to /ISO/VIDEO.

As always, read the relevant readme files included in the zip file before applying the update to your PSP. This is custom firmware business, and tinkering around with it without proper information and knowledge could lead to bricking. And if you're having fun using their custom firmware, why not send the M33 team a donation or two to their Paypal account? It would help loads for future firmware development!

Thanks to all those who sent in their tip!

Read the licence, it's very odd. If you're part ps3news the program actually performs a brick until you delete cookies or something like that.. Worked fine for me, so no worries.

The VSH menu is cool as hell, you press HOME, and it comes up, you can change clock xmb, clock game, umd iso mode, iso video mount.. but the coolest is "USB Device" From the XMB you can toggle whether to go into usb memory stick, flash0, flash1, flash2, flash3 or even the UMD. So instead of ripping the games you can just toggle the UMD, and transfer directly to your pc with no waiting for ripping just transferring!

The King is Dead, long live the King as refering to DAX and the M33 squad. There is live again after the departure of Dark Alex.

As I posted in another topic, a HUGE warning!

Do not update, a site called PS3news has turned this into a bricker, if you have this website in your cache and you download this, you will brick your PSP. Also, don't download from their website.

We give our support to Team Wilcard and condemn the actions of the leakers/thieves.

As facts are better than words, this program may refuse to work on your system if you:

- Downloaded it from ps3news.
- You are an active member of that forums's page.
- You visit frequently that page.

In last case, and only last case, the problem will be fixed if you delete browser cache of both,
psp and pc, and stop visiting that site.

Other cases of BAN are described in the LICENSE.TXT.
Not respecting the license will bring the PSP to BRICK, because the program will refuse to run.

I couldnt find mine either brother. Goto GameFly.com and register a free 2 weeks, order the Lumines game to your house, use it, send it back, cancel your membership and it wont cost you a dime

BTW: NO BRICK FOR ME WORKS GREAT! o.0

that's total BS!!!!! i can understand them making the program not run at all, as in you can't update if you downloaded it from there, or whatever. but causing a person's psp to brick just because they are a member of that site?!?!?! come the fuck on! i'm sure that EVERY MEMBER OF THAT SITE wasn't involved in whatever happened. i was going to update to m33, i was hearing really good things about it, but now, fuck that. i've never even heard of ps3news, but still....

Then don't update. Go to another firmware.
