5.00 M33 Sees Daylight

It’s been a long time since I last wrote about the PSP or my piano black PSP for that matter. I think it’s time to brush off the dust and talk about it again, particularly the news that DarK_AleX has recently released the latest custom firmware for the PSP: 5.00 M33. Basically, the 5.00 official [...]

Dark~AleX’s 4.01 M33

This is old, old, old news for those who are active in the PSP custom firmware/homebrew scene. Dark~AleX released his 4.01 M33 custom firmware back in June. It also appears to herald the arrival of a plugin that DAX had been working on for some time which is the savestate plugin. It’s not exactly the [...]

3.90 M33-3: No-UMD Driver Update

Before reading on, this update is only for those who are already using 3.90 M33 or are at least using 3.52 M33-3 or higher. And please READ or RESEARCH.
So Dark~AleX has once again released a CFW update for the M33 series. This is a minor update but for others, perhaps Slim users, this could be [...]

“This video cannot be played.”

 
One of the reasons why I bought a PSP slim was that I also wanted to have videos-on-the-go. The iPod Classic has a wide screen but the PSP’s is definitely bigger. But lately, I’ve been suffering from an annoying error message that’s constantly appearing after 5-10 minutes of video playback.
 
“This video cannot be played.”
 
I have [...]

CFW 3.90 M33-2 Released!

Note: Again, before I proceed, this update requires you to have 3.90 M33 on your PSP. Go to your System folder in your XMB and open System Information. If your firmware states that you’re on 3.90 M33, then this update applies to you. If it only states 3.90 and there is no M33 beside it, [...]

3.90 M33 Released! + How-To-Update

Important: Before anything else, please do not try to install this update on your PSP if you’re running on official firmware.

I’ve been getting comments left and right about how to convert from Official Firmware to Custom Firmware. These aren’t the steps for that. Please visit Consolespot.net or use Google to find your answers for downgrading. [...]

Busy Wednesday

I did not really think I would be able to wake up early today for an errand that I had to run for my youngest brother but I did. Not without help from my fiancee and my colleagues though. The day started with a startling phone call from one of my subordinates who was at [...]

3.80 M33-4: Tad Disappointing

I just finished upgrading my PSP from CFW 3.71 M33-4 to 3.80 M33-4. Now I have a PSP with severe game lag. It’s horrible playing Ridge Racer on my PSP now because of the lag that happens every couple of seconds. I’m a bit disappointed. I appreciate Dark_Alex’s work a lot but I’m also wondering [...]
