5.00m33 released

[Nephilim]

Okay new issue here: I upgraded to 5.0 cfw already and I want to trick the PSP into thinking the 5.01 is really the 5.0. When I try to run the loader again, it says that the current f/w is already updated or higher and then it sends me back to the XMB. Should I just simply copy 5.01 into my folder and try and update, or do i risk bricking my psp?

Thanks!

So you have 5.0 m33 and you want to what? DA just released 5.00 m33-2 today that does this:

Nota 5.00 M33-2 release
Changes:

- 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 posibility of loading version information from the file flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt

By default is disabled. If you enable it in recovery, you could for example dump 5.01 firmware,
copy the version.txt from it to the flash, and bypass firmware check restrictions like those that
may be in psn, etc.
This will also fake official network update (not m33 one), and running the update eboot (again, not m33 ones).

- Plugins configuration file format changed.

The new format is as follows:

* There is no more conf.bin file.
* Now each line in vsh.txt game.txt and pops.txt will have a 0 or a 1 at the end. 1 indicates
that the plugin will be loaded, 0 (or anything else) that it won't be loaded.

Entering in recovery in 5.00 M33-2 wil automatically convert the old format configuration
to the new one (this may cause a delay first time you enter in plugins because of conversion).

- Added optins under advanced configuration that allow enable/disable of plugins in a certain configuration.
By default they are enabled.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. However, I'm still at a loss here to understand what to do. I downloaded the 5.01 OFW firmware, can this M33-2 update my PSP with cfw using 5.01 even though it's intended only for 5.00. I just don't want to brick my psp if i rename the 501.pbp to 500.pbp and ask it to update.

That wont work. If you have 5.00m33 just run the 5.00m33-2 update. Then use the new psar dumper to decrypt the 5.01 OFW and take the version.txt from the 501 dump and replace your version.txt in flash0.

Okay I did everything but you lost me about the flash0 part. Where do I find that?

People need to learn to write instructions better. Check out the link below for details that actually make sense:

Also, when they're talking about this Flash0 thing, it's when you're in the XMB on your PSP and you hit select... there it gives you the option to change your USB mode to Flash0.

Just wait until DaX comes out with 5.00 M33-3. He supposedly made it so that you don't have to do the whole thing with the flash0 and version.txt...
