now on to 3.71m33
you will need
3.71 M33: http://www.psp-spot.com/forums/index.php?a...l&f_id=1916
and 3.71 Update file: 3.71 update file

MAKE SURE YOU KERNEL IS SET TO 3.52
you can do this in recovery mode
start the psp up whilst holding the R shoulder button down,go to configuration find the option for kernel and make sure it's on 3.52

Installation instructions:

First method for both psp, the prefered when possible:

Requeriments: a fat psp slim with 3.52 M33-3 or 3.52 M33-4. Previous versions of M33 won't work,

due to a bug that affects them and OE; or a psp slim with 3.60 M33.
- Copy the UPDATE directory into /PSP/GAME/UPDATE and copy the EBOOT.PBP of the 3.71 Sony updater

there but with name "371.PBP". Note: the program will not even show if you copy it to a different folder than that.

- If you are in the fat psp, make sure you have configured the psp to run the game folder in the 3.XX kernel.

- Execute the program, it requires 78% of battery. If you have idstorage corrupted due to a downgrader, the program

will ask you to correct it automatically so the update can continue.
- Press X, and the Sony updater will begin. Sit and enjoy while Sony code installs 3.71 M33 smile.gif

- When finished, the updater will ask you to reboot (pressing X or O). DO IT. Do not skip this step

shutting down the psp by yourself, or you'll end with a brick.

- You should be now in 3.71 M33

All you need to do now is install the updates
so here we go
installing the 1.50 kernel patch (150 kernel addon 2)
#download the 150 kernel addon 2 from here http://dark-alex.org/

I have followed the steps in the guide and the install itself seemed to go flawlessly. I see that I have the 3.71 M33-4 firmware installed in the system information tab (I used the absolute latest file). I then placed a UMD in and tried to run some ISOs from the ISO folder and it just keeps telling me that the game could not be started. I have gone into the M33 menu and messed around with the settings with no luck. I am sure there is a simple solution, but I cant figure out why I am having trouble starting ISOs. What should the ideal configuration settings be? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
