PSP 3.71 M33 is out

With the Pandora Battery and other new technology, even the PSP Slim ROM can use Custom Firmware now. The newest V3.71 is out. Here are the changes :

• Now uses 3.71
• VSH Menu is not longer launched using HOME key, but using SELECT now. This is to not interfere with the XMB function of home, which is now more useful in this firmware.
• Psp Slim: umdcache was allocating memory even when homebrew was launched, wasting memory that homebrew programs may want to use. Now umdcache module is stopped before it can allocate any memory, only in the case homebrew is launched.
• Also, memory is unprotected for user memory usage by M33 core (only when homebrew is launched). Developer, for a sample of how to use the extra memory, see the extra ram sample of the M33 sdk.
• Both version boot now from 3.XX ipl, and are independent of 1.50.

You will need 2 files and do some rename if you download from other sites. I had repacked and put everything into one. I had also stripped off the SDK because most of us will not be using it at all. Just copy the whole UPDATE directory into /PSP/GAME and you are ready to go. REMEMBER to press X to reboot when asked to do so!
