How to Upgrade to 3.71 M33-3
It’s been days since Dark Alex has released something for the PSP homebrew community but with his return he brings you the third update for his 3.71 M33 custom firmware. If you’re wondering what’s new on this update, well here they are exactly according to DAX:
- Fixed a bug in access to flash by usb.
- HEN core: kernel prx’s with syscall exports work again.
- PSP Slim: programmers can set the size of user memory to 52 MB by using a sfo flag.
Check sample in sdk for usage. - March33 NO-UMD driver:
* Fixed a bug that could hang the psp when exiting with home.
* Fixed compatibility issue with Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, and maybe more games. - Vshmenu: it wasn’t displaying properly with psp slim TV-OUT due to the change of resolution. Fixed.
Below are the easy steps on how to do the update on your PSP.
Requirements
- A PSP with 3.71 M33-1 or 3.71 m33-2 Custom Firmware
- USB Cable for PSP to PC connection
Instructions
- Download the files here.
- Extract the contents of the file. Grab the UPDATE folder and copy it into your memory stick to the directory PSP/GAME/.
- On the XMB menu go to Games > Memory Stick and run the update. You will be asked to press X to start the update. Do so. The program will exit automatically and restart your PSP. You now have a PSP 3.71 M33-3 PSP
About the popsloader, I haven’t been able to try it yet. Actually I haven’t been using it for quite sometime. I really dig the new games around. But I’ll be glad to write something about it if a lot of people asked. Thank you all.
UPDATE: You can now skip this guide and go directly to the 3.71 M33-4 update. I wrote a guide on how to add the 1.50 Kernel Add-on for 3.71 M33. Please check it out if you need it.

ash:
If you updated using the upgrade method on this site, you do not have 1.50 kernel installed. Go back to page 3, view post #28 by Peeper for a walkthrough on how to get 1.50 applications working again with your 3.71 M33-3 upgrade.
Thanks stylemo, you helped me get my PSP back up too. I appreciate your walkthroughs for those of us who are too scared/poor to try something that might ruin our PSP without anyone to hold our hand. Can’t wait to play my newer firmware PSP games! Everything works great!

Stylemo, just wanted to say thank you for this awesome tutorial. I was able to downgrade my 3.72 Fat PSP to 1.5, and then use your tutorials to push it back up to 3.71 m33 with no problems at all. I used a few other sites, and now have my PSP running just like it was before, with the added benefits of the CFW.
THANK YOU!

@kyle - before u go off doggin’ the said fw, do the research kid. such action CAN be done with this fw, but perhaps not for the simple minded. instructions by host Styles can be found in THIS site as well… o, pandora does work, in fact, it’s not even necessary to downgrade with said update. this update rox especially for fellow gamers in the PS3 community

this is not a upgrader but much rather a downgrader cuz the features disable you to do simple stuff like copy data from umd to computer using a usb cord
