The Despertar del Cementerio tool, developed by underground homebrew legend Dark_AleX, is now available as version 8. Users can now create MMS sticks that go directly to 5.00 M33-4. This will not work with the PSP-3000 or on anything with the TA-088v3 motherboard, so too bad, for all y’all three-thou’ers who had your fingers crossed.

Mad props to Dark AleX for staying savvy with the hardware interface software, and thanks for all his hard work and devotion to the scene. Show him some respect on the boards.
