CFW 3.51 M33-6 changelog:

    * This update introduces a new no-UMD more: the famous Sony np9660
    * The compatibility of this mode is not yet known, let's hope Sony codes well
    * Remember to choose "Sony NP9660" in recovery to use this new mode

Additional Notes from Team M33 (taken word-for-word from Team M33's release page):

    * We've known that on some English-talk forums, there is someone called "McDanny" telling that he is part of M33 Team. This note is to say that he is NOT from M33, and just a faker wanting some attention. Please don't believe him, as you won't see any mail, notice or anything outside our webpage (m-33.narod.ru) or pspx forum posts.
    * To the attention of becus25 and Test30: Please do not do any of your releases based from our firmwares. You steal and change name but contribute a tiny 20-line plugin. You are a shame for PSP development!
    * For not Russian users - especially website admins: For every sites, if you appreciate our releases and the visitors that they bring to you, we would appreciate if you could put our Paypal link in evidence as we need to purchase hardware materials. Thank you.

3.51 M33-7 Update

Taken from readme

Code:

---

The M33 team has rolled out another update for their Custom Firmware (CFW) 3.51 M33 which adds quite a few functionalities that users have been asking for. In addition to this, they've also fixed a couple of bugs which prevented users from running some games.

Among the improvements include a few updates on the M33 NO-UMD driver, such as a bug fix which now allows games such as ATV Offroad Fury Pro, Steel Horizons, Tony Hawk's Project 8 to run on the firmware, and an improvement on the speed loading time. Another addition to the firmware is its ability to now autodetect ta-082+ with brightness problems and correct it. Now, you should know that these display issues were found with the 1.50 kernel. Here are a few more of the changes in the CFW:

* Wlan fix is now done differently, patch is done in 3.51 kernel before going to 1.50 one.
* For those that don't read well the readmes: we never would include in our files a sony prx!
* The fix was and is done simply with code. The 3.40 mention was to notice that the problem
* was not a M33 bug, but a problem caused by Sony.
* 4th level of brighrness enabled on 1.5 kernel too now.
* An option has been added to recovery, "Hard Reset on 1.50 homebrew". Use this, only if the wifi
* fix doesn't work with your psp still. It makes homebrew boot a bit slower.

As an added note, if you have the time and a little spare cash, the M33 team is accepting donations and have a link for that on their own site.

well i guess a few people had em and others didnt....could depend on a lot of factors, such as which fw did you update from, fresh install or not, did you get a blue screen just after installing or not...all that matters is that its fixed now lol.

how come this update aint on the front page yet...i mean the team announced just after they released the previous patch that there were problems in it and another patch was in progress and would be released today

innocent life still doesn't work gives me a black screen after the save is loaded so i'll have to use umd enabled mode

I'm glad to see they are supporting their firmware.

Same here let's just hope they don't end up getting in legal trouble from Sony

The GTA cheat devices work with this update. :)

wow great these guys are fast I can't wait to see whats next.
-cosito-

could someone tip the qj.net people to get this up on the front page.....they never listen to what i gotta say...before as well i posted a thread about a release way before qj had it and i tipped them that its available but no response and no credit given to me for the tip when it finally arrived on the front page

just give them time.
-cosito-

Im scared to update to this. Is it safe?

Yes its safe. '_'

it is very safe

3 Updates in less then a week! I can almost forgive them for not being able to spell successful :p

np, by the way man you can include my post, modify it or whatever to your original 3.51 M33 installation and help thread, this way it will be easier to keep track of all the updates going on and easier for people to find all the info they need in one thread

the new folder is not automatically created when you format the memory stick.

wow they are quick :)

Thank you very much good guide mate

I cant install the m33 custom firmware.... I loaded the 150.pbp and the 351.pbp to the M33Creator folder. When i go to games and open the program, it says "Loading 1.50 firmware... File 150.PBP couldn't be opened." And then it takes me to the XMB...Can some1 help me?

rename it to 150 not 150.PBP
:tup:
:dj:

redonload your 1.50 eboot.pbp from dl.qj.net
that should fix it and if it also happens with the 3.51 do the same
if it still doesnt work, maybe your psp doesnt like being flashed and is preventing you from dong it

My psp keeps freezing when im using VCS Cheat Device 2.3 does anyone else have this problem?

And yes im running 3.51 M33-4

You have to use Devhook to use the Cheat Device. It won't work otherwise.

Here try this

after downloading and extracting the eboots do this


click on start > go to control panel > switch to classic view if not already done so > folder options > view tab > uncheck " hide extensions for known file types"

now go to the place where you extracted the eboots, they will be named "something.PBP" change those names to "150.PBP" and "351.PBP"


ALTERNATIVELY

put your mouse over the extracted eboot and in the dialog box that pops up if it says PBP file then just rename them to "150" and "351"

They used to say 'The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!". Looks like they finally arrived, Kudos to M33:Jump:
