5.00m33-4 VS 5.00m33-6

[Piesangj]

Could someone please explain what the difference is between 5.00m33-4 and 5.00m33-6?

What does the -4 and -6 stand for?

5.00 M33 is the base firmware. Then when DA made updates/fixes to it, he'd add a -x prefix to it so people knew it was the new revised version.

I can't remember exactly, but i think 5.00 M33-4 was some fixes and -5 and -6 were new functions (in the VSH menu and the MS speed up hack)

So generally speaking they're fundamentally the same, just different update levels.

The diference is some minor bug fixes that a homebrew user`s wont even notice

Not strictly true, you would notice some of the issues/changes. Here they are:

5.00 M33-2.

Popcorn bug fixes
* Fixed bug that caused some games with certain icons not to work, and caused document.dat not to work.
* Fixed critical bug that caused continous corruption of psx games in RAM.
* Core bugfix: Fixed sctrlKernelSetInit* functions not working.
* M33 network update doesn’t work in 5.00 M33, fixed.
* Added the possibility of loading version information from the file flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt

5.00 M33-3

* Fixed critical bug that caused continous corruption of psx games in RAM.
* Core bugfix: Fixed sctrlKernelSetInit* functions not working.
* M33 network update doesn’t work in 5.00 M33, fixed.

5.00 M33-4

* Speed selected for umd/iso was not properly locked in some new games that used scePower_EBD177D6 instead of scePowerSetClockFrequency to change speed.
* UMD/ISO speed settings now apply to PSN games too.
* Fixed libupdown.prx connecting to dark-alex.org instead of sony when npsignin_plugin checks for a new version and m33 update is enabled.
* ISO file descriptor was not closed in driver deletion
* Added a shutdown command to vshmenu.

5.00 M33-5/6 (released almost simultaneously)

- A setting has been added to recovery, that, when enabled it may increase memory stick reading speed. (only on the psp, not in the pc).
By default it is disabled. If you installed 3.71 fatmsmod, do not use this setting, as its perfomance with 3.71 driver has not been tested.
Instead, reinstall 5.00 m33-4 using dc8 and update to 5.00 m33-5

- Fixed a bug that made unbootable psp without memory stick or with a bad one.
