Double whammy: new PSP CFW 5.00 M33-6

Hot on the heels of the latest official PSP Firmware release from Sony, v5.03, comes Dark AleX’s latest custom firmware update. The most current version is now M33-6, which came just minutes after the release of M33-5. CFW 5.00 M33-6 is an exciting piece of homebrew awesomeness that shows off the prowess of the PSP underground. The following text is from the changelog:

This update is a try to fix memory stick low speed since 3.80.

Instructions: Copy UPDATE folder /PSP/GAME/ and run.

If you come from a version prior to 5.00 M33, put sony update as 500.PBP in same folder, or let the program download it for you using a wifi connection.

Changes in 5.00 M33-5:

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

Changes in 5.00 M33-6, according to the developer:

  • Fixed a bug that made unbootable psp without memory stick or with a bad one.
  • The included file fat_comparison.html contains a comparison of perfomance between the 5.00 fat driver, the 3.71 one, and the 5.00 one with the speed up hack during     the   read of an iso. The test was done on the game Valkyrie Profile in cso format in march33 mode. Other games, modes and applications different than iso reading     showed similar results.

Grab the CFW 5.00 M33-6 download here, and stay plugged in for more updates from this clutch piece of homebrew. Yet again, thanks and big up to Dark AleX for all his hard work in the scene.

    wow are you behind on the times, no shit he quit. he quit like fucking months ago, way to keep up with the news you numb nut. beside the simple fact of how ungrateful you are for what DA has provided us… maybe if you had a clue youd know that he was one of the cfw pioneers. so how about you show some fucking respect to the man, he has a life just like us, well maybe just me then. your probably just some fat turd whos ass is glued to your chair…

    what you can do is that cfw must consist of only this:ex”6.00″and m33 shoul be hidden.
