Dark Alex New Firmware

A new firmware is available to download from dark alex's website.

The firmware, 5.00 m33-6 is now available. I have it on my Psp and it runs fast and smooth.

You must install original 5.00 firmware first. If you don't you can download this file and download it straight from the Psp using your wifi connection.

Download link for firmware: http://rapidshare.com/files/186553068/500m33_6.zip


Heres some info about it:

5.00 M33-6
----------

Changes in 5.00 M33-6:

- Fixed a bug that made unbootable psp without memory stick or with a bad one.

Changes in 5.00 M33-5
----------

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:

- 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


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.

you say seano that you have to install the Original 5.00 firmware, wouldnt that meen that you would have to flash ur PSP again with a pandora and a magic memory stick?

If you don't install it with the download from the firmware then you would probably have to use your pandora again.

If you are updating your firmware it is very easy just put the files on your memory stick and click the icon and follow the on screen instructions.

so what you have got to do is get the official 5.00 official firmware eboot and place it in the CFW 5.00m33 update folder so that it kinda tricks your PSP into thinking that it is installing Custom Firmware when it is actually installing Custom Firmware

That works but and easier way is to just let the firmware folder download the file via wifi connection. Then it tricks the psp into thinking its making official firmware when its actaully cfw
