[gordiehannan]

Johnny -- brilliant tutorial -- just a question. My buddy has the newest firmware and I now upgraded to custom 3.51 m33 -- can I create a pandora's battery with 3.51 m33? Also if I make one can I use it to downgrade my buddies psp?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Yes and Yes

[Shorty21322]

Hey great tutorial, could you get me specific links, thanks

[kidman42]

excuse me man can u downgrad my psp plzzzzzzzzzzz email me every typ i have to do i have v3.51 plzzz and i want it 1.5

[ZamuraiCris]

ok lets say i have a psp with 3.51 already, does that mean i cant do the m33 3.51?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

No you can't. Though I can downgrade your psp for you. PM me for more info.

[ZamuraiCris]

so wait, that means if you have a 3.51 ver. on your psp, you cant do the m33 update, but now you have to find another method *i.e Pandora's Battery*?

thanks for the help!!

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Correct

[P0P357UR3]

Hey, thanks for the vid, ive always used DA's 3.03 OE-C but now i have to upgrade to play a PSP game. So uh i cant find the 3.51 official update, so i can use M33CREATOR. Which is rather gay...

Could you help me out?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

You do know M33 is made by Dark_Alex right? I just found this out lol. As far as the 3.51 update goes no idea. Try forums[dot]qj[dot]net

[spikie101]

What i dont get right is

.I have 3.40 offical firmware i want to upgrade to 3.51 m33 custom

. I need to downgrade right with pandoras battery? but to use it you need a custom firmware!!!

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Lol, originally it was just used to unbrick peoples PSP that had bricked using a Custom Firmware. If you would like me to downgrade your PSP for you feel free to private message me.

[chivitorasta]

and after doing all that, I've just have to paste the game that i downloaded to the memory stick or what do i have to do?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

correct

[CutThroatKitten]

uhh are you supposed to downgrade b4 you start doing all this? cuz when i try to start the update it says "The game could not be started. (80020148)".... im sorry im a noob.

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Yes der :P

[CutThroatKitten]

uhh... im having trouble finding the actual file to download.... if you could can you give me a link?

[Cliffdawgy]

He dude absolutely outstanding video. I knew how to do most of this stuff, but i always check youtube to be safe, and this is by far the best tutorial movie i've ever seen. Thanks a million and cool myspace.

[JohnnyMcKinney]

np glad to help.

[BigBoss023]

I downloaded the stuff from a different site, and I've got a folder named m33rel, and I have a folder named 1.50only which contains the KXploitpatcher folders with the necessary files as well as the M33Creator folder.

What should I do with the files inside the KXploitfoler? I'm new to this homebrew stuff by the way!

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Do you have 1.5?

[BigBoss023]

Nope, and I keep running into a roadblock when trying to make the Pandora battery as well, because I've got mine updated to the latest version 3.71, and my PSP was official version 3.60 before the upgrade.

[JohnnyMcKinney]

PLEASE LEARN TO READ! You can not use M33 or make the Pandora Battery on ANY OFFICIAL SONY FIRMWARE!

[opg2]

yo johnny my psp is 3.40 and when i start up the m33creator it says, cannot be started. Why does it say that. What do i have to do plz help me johnny. Let me get ur aim.

[JohnnyMcKinney]

You must have  downgrade PSP

[meatloaf666999]

could you give me a few pointers how to change the psp background to an animated one like b4 you flashed and changing the boot screen

[kh2kyuubi]

pls help i'm on 3.03 and when i go to the 3.51 m33 creator it says this game cannot be opened.

I've tried everything and followed the guides. the only thing i think might make a difference is that i didn't put m33creator in the game150 folder, because i don't have that folder for some reason.

Pls does it have to absolutely be game150? and if so how do i get it again? if i create a new folder and call it game150 that won't work will it?

Any help u can give me will be much appreciated.

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Please read the video description.

[lilakichan]

Is this the same process for 3.52 m33 also?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

yes

[alexfrom302]

dude i cant put a custom theme on my psp with 3.51 m33 it crashes does 3.40 OE-A work so i can get a custom theme

[JohnnyMcKinney]

You need to convert the themes.

[gaisensei020]

[JohnnyMcKinney]

This requires 3.50 or below if you have 3.50 you need to downgrade to use M33.

[thenotposer]

[mshefa07]

[PPBAMF13]

yo mine wont start the m33 creator

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Cause you aren't using a custom firmware

[NoxFox45]

where did you get that background for your psp? its pretty sweet.

[1xdeletex1]

IS THAT A PS2 ANALOG ?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

yes

[kuli50]

[JohnnyMcKinney]

wierd

[NoxFox45]

im writing fw 3.51 and im afraid its stuck did i do something wrong? its taking longer than yours did

[JohnnyMcKinney]

did u fix it?

[derekreader]

Thank you so much!

I was about to do it completely differently,

If it wasn't for you i probably would of bricked my 'beloved' PSP :D

[eddyg0rd0]

how long does it take to write 3.51 FW?

it takes forever

[JohnnyMcKinney]

like 5 minutes

[NoxFox45]

are you updating FROM 1.50 TO 3.51 M33 or FROM 3.40 OE-A TO 3.51 M33 because in my custom firmware file it has a file called "1.50only" and it contains kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% in it and you said nothing about these files.

[JohnnyMcKinney]

I went from 3.40 OE if you use 1.5 then you need to run the patcher.

[hobo158]

uh..i'm trying to install 3.52 M33. I got the update files from exophase..I'm sure I did everything right, but when i try and execute the 3.52 M33 CREATOR file on my PSP..it loads up with a black screen for a while..then returns to the XMB and says the game could not be started...Is there something wrong with the update files or did I miss something? My firmware is 3.50

[cmla92]

umm you have to DOWNGRADE first using Lumines.

[ClearJordans]

I like ur Country accent

[JohnnyMcKinney]

umm thanks?

[animeroks94]

can u use this with 3.51?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

YOU CAN NOT USE THIS WITH 3.51!

[double107]

you said this on one of the first comments johnny: The XMB is customizable, but like I said a few bugs in it. I did customized mine, but when I put the custom top plugin it bricked. :\

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Yea, I recovered it though. They fixed the customization problem anyway I have a fully customized psp now.

[alexfrom302]

im scared to update i have a 32mb stick but its all there also im to scared to brick my psp pleese tell me if i update of not

[JohnnyMcKinney]

you can do it on a 32 mb stick, but dont count on using ISOs.

[KAWAIIZERO]

i cant find a 3.51 update i have a 1.50 update though

[double107]

so, johnny, your psp bricked? that sux, i wish they made downgraders and custom firmwares with no chance of bricking, that's why im never installing custom firmware, i may take a chance though, ill be pissed if my 2nd psp bricked, i dont have that much money, im only 14

[JohnnyMcKinney]

When did I say my PSP bricked?

[sakless13]

hey johnny i have a 3.50 the 3.51 cf ur installing won't work if i do it... would it???

[chau22]

yea and if u have a no good umd drive then m33 is the best!

[jaa93997]

why would you upgrade from 3.40oe to 3.52M33, what is the real advantage, if any?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

you can play the new games, and go back to no umd.

[chau22]

will u upgrade to 3.52 m33

[JohnnyMcKinney]

yea

[Echkaku]

yeah, how about you get a tutorial to 3.51 >>>>>> 1.5

[JohnnyMcKinney]

" This requires 3.50 or below "

[VampyraR34]

[arabdullah1]

hey can u plz tell me how much better 3.51 m33 then the 3.4oe or which one is it better ot is it worth upgrading

[JohnnyMcKinney]

[arabdullah1]

[fartface02]

[Paisa147]

So do i have to downgrade my psp to 1.50 first cause i have 3.51 or could i just get 3.51 m33 right now ohhh also could i play cso games on my psp with that firmware

[IAmCrack69]

3.51 SONY OFFICIAL Firmware? If so...you're fucked dude, sorry, no way to downgrade from 3.51 to 1.5.

[Paisa147]

Could u play cso games on that firmware also i have 3.51 could u just go to 3.51 m33 or do u have to go to 1.50 downgrader first

[slamball003]

do you have to have the 1.50 update on your computer? cause' i cant downgrade to 1.50 to get it because I have 3.51. so is their still a way to get this 3.51 custom firmware without having the 1.50??? please respond.

[slamball003]

[IAmCrack69]

[Martinezsoldier]

[Martinezsoldier]

[JohnnyMcKinney]

pspdiscussions dot com

[Ligalize2]

you there is a new version of m33 its caled 3.51 m33-6

[JohnnyMcKinney]

3.51 m33-7

[double107]

thanks johnymckinney, so the best thing is to install custom firmware once you get your psp at version 1.50

[darkark54]

hey i just want to know does this work if ur current firmware is 2.81

[JohnnyMcKinney]

yes

[double107]

yeah, im scared cause i dont want to brick my 2nd psp trying to downgrade and install custom firmware

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Dont be scared we all went through the same thing and we did just fine.

[hamudydudy17]

dude on your video earlier you said your gonna downgrade back to 3.40 oe-a johnnymckinney.

[MIkeDaBBoy]

hey i have 3.4 Fw...can i still use this M33 custom firmware???wat do i do???

[swim4freestyle]

go buy lumines one, then download the 3.5 downgrader from psp-hacks and READ THE README. then once your at 1.5 after the downgrade download the 3.51 M33 custom firmware from psp-hacks

[IAR440]

lol nice nice u shud do da 3.50 downgrade tutorial!!! =]

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Im not upgrading to 3.50.

[swim4freestyle]

i have 3.51 M33 now to, i go it two nights ago. it was pretty basic and really easy. the only downaide is that their is no way to get a custom xmb yet, but the cool thing is, that the recovery mode looks cooler than oe.

[JohnnyMcKinney]

The recovery looks the same to me accept it is black. The XMB is customizable, but like I said a few bugs in it. I did customized mine, but when I put the custom top plugin it bricked. :\

[swim4freestyle]

same thing happened to me but it didnt get bricked i just couldnt go into usb mode. but ive bricked my psp 5 times

[hamudydudy17]

actually swim4freestyle the oe recovery looks much better in the oe. i am gonna wait till they fix everything i heard it had alot of bugs

[swim4freestyle]

i just like the color better in this one, and the recovery is the exact same thing as the oe once u update to M33 patch 6.

[hamudydudy17]

so is it really worth upgrading right know swim4freestyle

[swim4freestyle]

yes because their is are three types of iso loaders on it, but you wont get that much benefit, because right now u cant make a custom xmb now

[JohnnyMcKinney]

I thought you could make custom XMBs? I have mine.

[swim4freestyle]

u do?? well, i only tried mine once.

[hamudydudy17]

ill just wait then :)

[JohnnyMcKinney]

yes right now even when I made this video it was worth upgrading to, but now as version 6 it's even more wanted.

[jordan2x]

You need 3.51 in order to play SF:LS right?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

yes not the demo, but the new real game

[Word4329]

nevermind! lol tyvm.

[Word4329]

Hey Johnny can you do this straight from 1.50?

[kurtusky13]

im smart :)

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Yes you are

[kurtusky13]

thnx for th video, but do you still need lumines 1 ?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

This isn't a downgrader...

[kojtx1v]

how was florida?

[JohnnyMcKinney]

Don't rename the 3.51 Eboot to 350 make sure to name it to 351
