Thanks to *xist* for the tip!

Dark Alex has release 5.00 m33-5, but had to quickly release a fix for that as it had a bug. Here's a quote from his release thread:

This update is a try to fix memory stick low speed since 3.80.

Instructions: Copy UPDATE folder /PSP/GAME/ and run.

If you come from a version prior to 5.00 M33, put sony update as 500.PBP in same folder, or let the program download it for you using a wifi connection.

Changes in 5.00 M33-5:

- A setting has been added to recovery, that, when enabled it may increase memory stick reading speed. (only on the psp, not in the pc).
By default it is disabled. If you installed 3.71 fatmsmod, do not use this setting, as its perfomance with 3.71 driver has not been tested.
Instead, reinstall 5.00 m33-4 using dc8 and update to 5.00 m33-5

Changes in 5.00 M33-6:

- Fixed a bug that made unbootable psp without memory stick or with a bad one.

The included file fat_comparison.html contains a comparison of perfomance between the 5.00 fat driver, the 3.71 one, and the 5.00 one with the speed up hack during the read of an iso.
The test was done on the game Valkyrie Profile in cso format in march33 mode. Other games, modes and applications different than iso reading showed similar results.

I have it now and it's awesome. The memory stick speed increase rocks.

As for the 5.03 Official Firmware update, it fixes the Gripshift Save Exploit. So those with PSP-3000s might not want to update.

yep. teh speed is better. the lags in GOW Chains of Olympus are a LOT less using my photofast micro SDHC adapter with dual class 4 cards.

Not even a downgrader or CF and already fixed? Sony has learned from gta and lumines.

Nope, there isn't a Custom Firmware for the PSP-3000 models yet. Those models have the new motherboard that has pre-ipl which, in simple terms, blocks any downgrading (as of right now). Pandora Batteries do not work with it. Pandoras also don't work with the Slim 2003/2004 models. I believe the PSP Slim 2003/2004 models have the new motherboard also from what's been stated.

In the cso rip I made from my GoW umd, I didn't notice a speed issue o_O, but I did notice a nice sex minigame with 2 hot chicks after the first boss...

OMG that is faster! No waiting for the icons to load on my games list!

Do not use the hack though for the Bust-A-Move games, they crash with it on

Its working nice. Im curious how much of effect it has on battery life, if any. Ill find out soon enough I suppose.

**windrider42** · 01-21-2009,06:04 PM

My snes is running better now with this latest update.

**tomtuff** · 01-22-2009,09:42 PM

this is awesome, i just recently fixed my LCD screen and got to go from 3.90 m33 to 5.00 M33-6!

dissidia is awesome, btw, import it if you can!

**MasamuneSoul** · 01-23-2009,09:13 AM

I'd love to import it but I like to play in English.

Anyway, it's been awhile since we got the 5.00 M33-4 update. Glad there was a new one. Wonder if there is gonna be an GEN firmware update...
