How to Update to 3.80 M33-4 Custom Firmware
It seems that Dark Alex has been working overtime again. The latest update for the 3.80 M33 custom firmware is now out. And again for noobs out there who’s looking for an easy guide on installing these updates, this is the right place.
There’s actually 2 different ways on how to update your 3.80 M33 custom firmware to 3.80 M33-4. The first one is doing it manually by downloading the update file and copying it to your PSP. And the other one is the easier way - thru the PSP’s native Network Update. Now that is very cool. So hold on to your seats as I give you the details on how to install the 3.80 M33-4 update.
The RequirementsÂ
- You must have 3.80 M33 Custom Firmware already installed on your PSP. If you don’t have it yet, follow my guide here.
- A sufficient battery so your PSP won’t turn off in the middle of the update.
- A Good Wifi Connection
- A USB Cable (optional)
If you have a WiFi connection, follow the steps below.
- On your XMB Menu, just go to Settings > Network Update then choose your connection. The PSP will then detect if you have the latest custom firmware. If you don’t have it yet, your PSP will automatically download the update file.
- After the update has been downloaded, you will be asked to press X or O to begin the update. Press the corresponding button, the screen will turn black and the updated files will be flashed.
- After the flashing, your PSP will restart by itself. Enjoy!
If you don’t have WiFi connections, then you should follow the steps below.
- Download the 3.80 M33-4 update.
- Extract the contents of the file you’ve downloaded anywhere you want on your computer.
- connect your PSP to your computer using the USB cable. Copy the UPDATE folder to your PSP in this directory: ms0:/PSP/GAME/
- Disconnect your PSP from your computer and go the XMB menu. Go to GAME > Memory Stick then run the M33-4 update program. Follow the onscreen instructions and wait for 10 secs.
- Enjoy your newly updated PSP.

Hi,
I am new to all this a friend of mine hacked my psp and after he did it i have changed my memory stick and i have nothing on my memory except cso’s,music and/or movies.
my psp has 3.52 m33 firmware so if i follow the 3.52 m33-4 update guide then the 3.80 update guide in your opinion would that work.
If you agree or disagree please let me know if i should have other programs or information on my memory stick?
Any help would be great
Thanks heaps
