How to Install 3.52 M33-4 on Your PSP
As I promised Fat Of The Land and a lot more other people around the net, I’ll be writing a guide on the installation of 3.52 M33-4 custom firmware for the PSP. If you’re wondering what in the world 3.52 M33-4 is, it’s a custom firmware built by russian hackers that enables you to play homebrew and also enjoy the features of the official 3.52 sony firmware.
Before we begin with the process, here are a few simple things to do first.
Check your existing PSP Firmware.
On your XMB (Cross Media Bar), go to Settings > System Settings > System Information. Press circle or x (it depends on what PSP version you have) to view your existing firmware. If you have a 1.5 or any custom OE/SE firmware, you are in luck. You can proceed to the next step, otherwise, you must downgrade your PSP first. I suggest you use Pandora’s battery for the downgrade.
Obtain a USB Cable
If you don’t know what a USB cable is, I assure you won’t be successful with the installation. A USB cable is a connectivity tool between your PC/Mac and PSP.
Download the 3.52 M33-4 Installer Package
I packed all the files into a RAR file so you won’t have any trouble locating the files around the net. After downloading the file, unpack it using WinRAR. I’ve separated each step into separate folders so everything will be organized.
Download the 3.52 M33-4 installer pack.
Check Your Battery
I suggest you must have more than 75% battery to avoid bricking. And also plugin the adaptor.
If you have correctly followed the few simple steps above, then we are ready to go on to the installation process.
Warning: I have succesedfully installed 3.52 M33 on 3 PSPs already but there is a slight chance of bricking your PSP, only if you won’t follow the instructions step by step. Don’t worry if you brick your PSP, you can always use Pandora’s battery.
3.52 M33-4 Installation Procedures
- If you have are running on an OE or SE custom firmware, SKIP this step and proceed to STEP 2. Connect your PSP to your computer. Open the STEP 1 folder and copy kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders to ms0:/PSP/GAME/. Disconnect your PSP from your computer and then on the XMB go to GAME > Memory Stick > KXploit Permanent Patcher. Run it. Once done, delete the kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folder from your ms0:/PSP/GAME/ folder. Proceed to next step.
- Connect your PSP to your computer. Open STEP 2 folder then copy the M33CREATOR folder to your “ms0:/PSP/GAME” (for 1.50 Firmwares) or “ms0:/PSP/GAME150″ (for SE/OE Firmwares). Disconnect your PSP from your computer then on the XMB menu go to GAMES > Memory Stick and execute 3.52 M33 CREATOR. For noobs, the screen will normally go black so don’t panic. Once the process is finished it will automatically go back to the XMB.On your XMB, go again to GAMES > Memory Stick on your PSP, and execute 3.52 M33UPDATE. You’ll have to press X at your own risk to agree to the installation. Don’t you turn off your PSP until the process is complete or you’ll end up bricking it. When finished, you’ll have to press X again and reboot your PSP manually. Reboot by turning of your PSP and then turning it on again.You’ll then have a 3.52 M33 PSP. You can now delete the M33CREATOR folder form your “ms0:/PSP/GAME” folder on your PSP.
- Open STEP 3 folder and then copy M33Update4 folder to mso:/PSP/GAME150. On your XMB menu go to GAMES > Memory Stick then execute the update. After the update you will be back on the XMB and you now have 3.52 M33-4 PSP. Delete the M33Update4 folder from mso:/PSP/GAME150. From the STEP 3 folder, copy the seplugins folder to the root of your memory stick.
- Turn off your PSP then turn it on again while pressing the R button. This will take you to the recovery menu. Go to Plugins and enable popsloader by pressing x. After enabling it, go to back and then exit.
- Enjoy your PSP 3.52 M33-4!
You have PSP 3.52 M33-4, now what? Get those cool homebrew apps! You can either stick with this firmware for some time or upgrade it to 3.71 M33. I had mine installed with 3.71 M33 already and I say it’s really cool. There are new features like changing themes from XMB and a new kind of Video search.
Special credits go to Dark_Alex (he is the M33 team) M33 team, the Russian Hackers who created this neat piece of software. Please do check out his website for the latest updates.
UPDATE: After installing this firmware, you’ll probably be wanting to install 3.71 M33. So here’s the 4 Easy steps on installing 3.71 M33 on your PSP.

September 21st, 2007 at 2:04 am
hi karan. don’t even try to install 3.52 on your PSP is you don’t understand the instructions. Not everything is spoonfed you know.
September 21st, 2007 at 10:09 am
this is a great guide. i saw this on google, easy to access. props to guide maker and the m33 peeps. i think i’ll donate.
September 21st, 2007 at 10:25 am
You know, while I was waiting for the new file to be uploaded I just did it myself. And you don’t need to install ALL the version to get up to M33-4, you only need to install 3.52 M33 and then upgrade to M33-4…so I don’t know why you posted all the extra unnecessary steps, stylemo.
September 21st, 2007 at 10:26 am
So, I’m just letting everyone know if they skip steps 3 and 4, they’ll be fine.
September 21st, 2007 at 11:32 am
Thanks for the information Iasthaai. I’ll be updating this guide in a while.
September 21st, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Very smooth installation guide. THANKS!
Just one thing still missing on this Custom Firmware is LocationFree Player.
The icon is there but nothing happens when trying to open.
So unfortunately I now need to go back to 3.03OE to use it.
I’ll have to email the creator of this CF to get this fixed.
Everything else looks good though.

i cant do 3 step: When i start it only come: The Game could not be started. (80020148) I just have already custom (3.52 M33-1) Like step 2… litle help
September 24th, 2007 at 6:06 am
Markus1434:
Why are you trying to upgrade to M33-2? Are you not going all the way to M33-4? If you are going to M33-4 just install the M33-4 update…not the M33-2 and M33-3 update…you’re just wasting your time…but your choice.
September 24th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
I have PSP 3.52 version and I try to install 3.52 M33-4 update. When I start the 1st step , “The game could not be started (80020148)”.
September 24th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
How can I upgrade my PSP 3.52 to 3.52 M33-4? please help me b’coz I try the 1st step, but The game could not be started (80020148). What does it mean? thanks
September 24th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
RIGZ:
You need to have a homebrew enabled PSP which means you need a PSP with a 1.5 firmware or any of the custom firmwares. I think you need to downgrade your PSP first before trying this one. Please search Google about PSP homebrew first before trying anything else. Thanks.
September 25th, 2007 at 12:56 am
what is popsloader?
September 25th, 2007 at 7:13 am
i have firmware 1.5 and i did watever u said on the tut. but i had an error… *i had 3.52m33 but downgraded to 1.5 and did wat u said on the tut but still wont work
September 25th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
If you have 1.5, you have to run step 1. It fixes the ID storage keys.
September 25th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Thanks a lot dude! You’re great!..
September 26th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Jake: popsloader is a plugin support that enables you to play your own backup PSOne games

Hey,
I got 3.03 Oe-c on my psp (thats what my psp tells me)
But when i go on my psp i see a map iso and a map psp.
When i go in psp there are some maps and 1 maps name is game but not game150 :S do i need to downgrade it or can i just so this tut ?
Plz email me
Greatings,
Yannick
October 1st, 2007 at 8:41 pm
ok hold on i just set the game map to 1.50 is that correct ?? or do i need it to be 3.03 ??
October 1st, 2007 at 9:06 pm
Yannick: Check if you are running 1.50 kernel on your GAME folder by going to the recovery menu. Now how do we do that? First, shutdown your PSP and then turn it on again while pressing R button. It will then take you to the recovery menu. Got to the configuration > Game Folder Homebrew and check if it’s 3.03. If it’s not, change it to 3.03 then exit the recovery menu.
After that begin with Step 2.
October 1st, 2007 at 10:20 pm
Thank you
its 3.03 right now so i need to charge my battery 
October 2nd, 2007 at 12:32 am
I get a error that it can’t run the game ?? :S ??
Im running on 3.03 OE-c :S game folder is running on 3.03…
October 2nd, 2007 at 12:33 am
error is (80020148)
October 2nd, 2007 at 1:33 am
If your GAME folder is running on 3.03 then create a folder named GAME150 then there you put the M33Creator.
Hope that helps.
October 2nd, 2007 at 1:54 am
thanks you man ,you rock the change worked!!!
October 2nd, 2007 at 3:20 am
delete the folder game ??? or rename it to GAME150 ??
I can put the game folder in 1.5 :S?
October 2nd, 2007 at 3:24 am

Do you have a TA-082 motherboard?
October 4th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
i have successfully done everything except to figure out where to put the seplugins folder. help please
October 4th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
Howdy folks, just need a little help here. Like most of us i want to be able to download and play games on my psp so I did a bit of reading and a website said I needed Firmware 3.52 or higher, so I upgraded to that except now it still won’t work, found out i had to install a CFW so i went and got m33’s 3.52 but it’s not installing. Any help?
October 4th, 2007 at 8:40 pm
umm.. so if I followed all these steps and did everything right theres 0% chance of bricking?
October 4th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
falta7: Well it should be.
October 6th, 2007 at 10:43 pm
Im afraid to do step one. i copied the kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders to ms0:/PSP/GAME/. when i go to the game menu i see the kexploit permanent patcher but under it there is file wich is corrupted should i proceed? i downgraded to 1.50 yesterday from 2.71 and im on a TA-082 motherboard if that helps. Yes this is my first time installing custom firmware.
October 6th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
dont worry about it i have a ta-082 and it works awesomely
and i only got into the homebrew scene a few days ago!
oh and just some info, once you downgrade a ta-082 to 1.50 it acts like any other psp so you can run every home brew app easily
p.s corrupted data is the stuff that makes homebrew work so once you do the hack you can go into recovery mode and hide all the corrupt icons.
October 6th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Errr…after completing step 2 of this guide
i umm formated my memory stick( didnt know what the hell i was thinking…) so whe i proceed to step 3 where it says “Open STEP 3 folder and then copy M33Update4 folder to mso:/PSP/GAME150. On your XMB menu go to GAMES > Memory Stick then execute the update. After the update you will be back on the XMB and you now have 3.52 M33-4 PSP. Delete the M33Update4 folder from mso:/PSP/GAME150. From the STEP 5 folder, copy the seplugins folder to the root of your memory stick.”
there is no GAME150 folder so i decided to make one. When i go to games nothing shows…should i copy the M33Update4 folder to mso:/PSP/GAME and try and run the update?
October 6th, 2007 at 11:42 pm
it should have showed up even if you just created it, where did u create it?
October 6th, 2007 at 11:44 pm

Could you please help me on what’s the best thing to do??

2. Upgrade to 3.50 and downgrade using Lumines UMD.
3. Use pandora’s battery.

thanks
October 11th, 2007 at 10:27 am
maybe you deleted the folder “GAME” in the PSP folder. Just make another folder named GAME150 and put m33creator there and just leave the GAME folder.
October 11th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Hi i want to try NBA LIVE 08, my last upgrade was when i made my psp version 1.5 and it did not run. i remember those days when psp v 1.5 sold for a premium. =) anyway tried upgrading to 3.52 M33 and succeeded. I can now play LIVE 08, question is do i need M33-04? Benefits? When i transfered the update to my stick, there is a screen with 3:33 numbers and i am assuming this is the M4 update to run? Thanks again for this big help. You save me $10 as its the price charge by people here to do it.

Hi, kudos on the excellent package and guide, it’s exactly what I was looking for! The only thing is you don’t have a step listed that copies the seplugins folder to the PSP, it must have been one of the removed steps? Thanks!

You need a UMD in order to play most of the games but you can tinker with the UMD ISO MODE settings by pressing the HOME button while on XMB to display the VSH menu.
To all people having trouble with their ISOs, try reformattng your memory stick or resetting the device. Most of your questions are answered in the comments you just have to scroll through it. Thanks.

Hi.
I got a question. I am on 3.40 OEA. I did all the instructions as listed. Looks fine but at the end of it all, the firmware shown is still the same.
Is it suppose to be like that?
October 25th, 2007 at 1:58 am
When I run the creator I am getting
Loading 1.50 firmware… OK
Writing 1.50 firmware… OK
Loading 3.52 firmware… OK
Writing 3.52 firmware…
and it stays like that for 20 minutes? what should i do? HEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!
Does this mean I’m doomed already for BRICK if I turn off my PSP? WHAT TO DO????

hey Max, that’s not supposed to happen. What was your last firmware you upgraded from. if ever you bricked your PSP, you can always use pandora’s battery to revive your device.

Hi! I came out for 2 hours and I came back now and I found out that proccess has finished with success. Woah!
Now I have to do STEP 3…I hope everything will be OK.
I had Dark Alex’s 3.10 OE-A and I fresh formated 1 GB MS Sony Pro Duo before this. maybe that caused a delay. Anyways, thank you stvlemo for trying to help.

everything went Ok, I just want to ask a question:
Do I really need POPSLOADER to play PSX games. Because I had only to upgrade to 3.10 OE-A and I would put PSX game’s EBOOTS in ISO folder where I put PSP games and everything would work just fine. So do I really need popsloader now?

Hi. I don’t know if this has ANYTHING to do with this, but i have a problem. I updated my PSP successfully to 3.51 M33 with my 1GB Memory Stick, but after i updated, my memory stick was still in and the PSP couldn’t read it. The memory stick light just kept blinking nonstop. I took it out and placed it in again and again. It still couldn’t read it. I’m wondering if you know what the problem is ’cause I’m planning on getting a new memory stick. A 4GB. Plz help.

I cannot get the download to work on Mediafire, the download fails everytime it gets to 3.59MB??
Is this unique or have other experienced the same thing??
I’ve been out of the game for a while and still got 3.03OE-C!!
Time for a change!
October 25th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
@BassGX - You have a corrupt memory stick. Time to get a new one.
@Ant - the file is there. Retry a few times. Mediafire is still buggy.

I’m having the same problem as Max on Step 2 and I’m not sure why… it says:
3.52 M33 FIRMWARE CREATOR
Loading 1.50 firmware… OK.
Writing 1.50 firmware… OK.
Loading 3.52 firmware… OK.
Writing 3.52 firmware… *waiting for 20 minutes*
I’ve upgraded successfully to 3.52 M33 before from an 3.40 OE-A. I don’t know why its not working for this 1.5 downgraded PSP.

@Jason: Did the screen turn black? if so, just press the directional buttons. The backlight just might have turned off. Press any of the directional buttons to turn on the backlight again.

“”" @Jason: Did the screen turn black? if so, just press the directional buttons. The backlight just might have turned off. Press any of the directional buttons to turn on the backlight again. “”"
Hi - I’m having the same issue as Jason and a few others on here as follows:
Loading 1.50 firmware … OK
Writing 1.50 firmware … OK
Loading 3.52 firmware … OK
Writing 3.52 firmware …
It’s been 30 minutes. According to Jason after a few hours it processed.
Like you said, just push the directional pad and it will refresh itself… however still not processed.
I’ve always had the original 1.50 version since I owned this PSP. I have a few custom emulators downloaded on my memory stick and some MP3 files, but that’s it.
I wonder what my issue is? I’ll let it sit for awhile then come back and see what happens.
If anyone can provide some insight, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Josh: You just have to wait, mine took lore than 20mins, im not sure if you can turn your PSP off but after than process when I try to update my PSP the gameboot showed up but then I waited for more than an hour and still nothing happens then I took the risk and turn my PSP off and boot it again. And guess what it did not brick and I did that twice before I finally successfully updated my PSP
