Howdy folks! It’s been quite sometime since my last post. I have been very busy with my family and my new work. I’ve quit my day job and I am a fulltime freelance designer and gamer now which means I have more time writing real game reviews and updates. So much for the gibberish. Let’s go on with the guide.

Like every guide that I’ve written, you will have to read every detail and follow every instructions. Of course there is always a requirement you must pass before you could continue with the process.

The Requirements

1. You will need a Phat or Slim PSP with 3.80 M33 or higher ( I mean 3.80 M33-2 until 3.80 M33-5).
2. You will need a GOOD WiFi connection.
3. You must have 90% or more battery and have your PSP plugged in thru the AC adapter so it won’t turn off in the middle of the update.

The Painless Procedure

1. On your XMB menu, scroll to the Settings > Network Update then press O or X. Select your active connection. Wait for the download to finish.
2.  After the update has been updated, it will ask you to run it now or execute later. If you want to run it now, press the corresponding button. If you have chosen to go back to the XMB, you can acess it by scrolling to Game > Memory Stick > 3.90 M33-2 update.
3. Once you have ran the update, the screen will turn black and you will see small text on the upper left corner of the screen. Follow the instructions and the updater will automatically download the required files so you don’t have to. Once the files has been downloaded, the updater will ask you to proceed. Proceed. It will then take you to the normal SCE Updater. From there follow the instructions. After the update has finished manually shutdown your PSP by pressing the corresponding button on the screen.

Was that easy or what? If you have comments and questions about this guide, feel free to use the form below.

I’ve been very busy the past few weeks I wasn’t able to post any updates. So I think you’ve heard a bit of the news already that Dark Alex has release the 2nd update of 3.90 M33. Haven’t upgraded mine yet since I don’t have my PSP with me. But I’m guessing you could update your PSP thru the native Network Update. Just go to settings and choose Network Update. The update will be automatically updated and you will be asked to install. Not only that, the second version of the 1.50 Kernel for 3.90 M33 is also out. I’m guessing that the installation will be much the same as installing the first version. But for newbies out there, I suggest you wait till I find time to write on a tutorial.

Anyhow, this site has been down for a day. I contacted the hosting provider and they didn’t tell me what the problem was. The important thing is this site is up again. Officially today, I’m already a fulltime freelance Web Designer slash developer. So if any of you guys out there need a special advice on Web Design, I’m here to help ya all out.

Now that my time is really mine, which means I’m in control of it, I’ll have time to update this site’s look and functionality. I hope you guys are still rocking out there with your PSPs. Dark Alex has been cooking a lot of things for your PSP.
