Guys,
Im currently running 3.40 OE-A on my FAT PSP (Black).
I am currently out of the loop with everything thats going on in the Homebrew scene.

What i would like to do is be running the new 3.71 M33 CFW that ive seen people talking about.
Can anyone help as to what i do next please?

Do i downgrade to 1.5, and then upgrade to the latest M33 3.71 FW? If so... where are the files?

Cheers in advance
Rhys

Well I think what you have to do is go from 3.40 OE-A to 3.52 M33here and you should update to v3 or v4 then use the 3.71 update here to get to 3.71 m33. or you could just update to the official sony 3.50 and downgrade to 1.50 and go to 3.52 M33 then update to v3 or v4. then use the 3.71 M33 installer.
Ya so thats basicly it, good luck.

there is a 3.71M33-2 out now. So grab that. And DO NOT go up to 3.50 because if you dont have lumines or pandora you cant go back down to 1.50. But you can upgrade without going back to 1.50. You have to either be running 3.52-3 or 4 first tho. psp-hacks.com has a very good place to download all these things you mention. PERSONALLY if i was you stick with 3.52-4 for the time being. It has much bettet themes and plugins dont work for 3.71. Im running 3.71 tho. lol. Any more ?'s feel free to PM me. I have updated everyway to 3.71

3.71 M33 by M33=Dark_AleX

Changes in 3.71 M33:

- Now uses 3.71
- VSH Menu is not longer launched using HOME key, but using SELECT now. This is to not
interfere with the XMB function of home, which is now more useful in this firmware.
- Psp Slim: umdcache was allocating memory even when homebrew was launched, wasting
memory that homebrew programs may want to use. Now umdcache module is stopped before
it can allocate any memory, only in the case homebrew is launched.

Also, memory is unprotected for user memory usage by M33 core (only when homebrew is launched).
Developer, for a sample of how to use the extra memory, see the extra ram sample of the M33 sdk.

- Both version boot now from 3.XX ipl, and are independent of 1.50.

The main installer will not install 1.50 kernel anymore.
A 1.50 kernel addon for 3.71 M33 that will install inside 3.71 M33 will be released in a
few days (for fat only)

Note: due to some changes in kernel nids by Sony, you can expect a lot of kernel plugins not working anymore.
Programmers: refer to the sdk readme for details.

Installation instructions:

First method for both psp, the prefered when possible:

Requeriments: a fat psp slim with 3.52 M33-3 or 3.52 M33-4. Previous versions of M33 won't work,
due to a bug that affects them and OE; or a psp slim with 3.60 M33.

- Copy the UPDATE directory into /PSP/GAME/UPDATE and copy the EBOOT.PBP of the 3.71 Sony updater
there but with name "371.PBP". Note: the program will not even show if you copy it to a different folder than that.

- If you are in the fat psp, make sure you have configured the psp to run the game folder in the 3.XX kernel.

- Execute the program, it requires 78% of battery. If you have idstorage corrupted due to a downgrader, the program
will ask you to correct it automatically so the update can continue.

- Press X, and the Sony updater will begin. Sit and enjoy while Sony code installs 3.71 M33

- When finished, the updater will ask you to reboot (pressing X or O). DO IT. Do not skip this step
shutting down the psp by yourself, or you'll end with a brick.

- You should be now in 3.71 M33

Unbricker for both psp slim&fat and 1.50 kernel installer for fat 3.71 M33, will be released in few days... and it will be last thing from me.

That should clear up any questions.[/quote]
