A new custom firmware has sprung up over the weekend… It doesn’t pack any catchy name, and the developer [apparently] wishes to remain anonymous; despite that, PSP Custom Firmware 3.93 is fully functional and works quite well. Evidently it’s based off the work of Dark_AleX and Team M33.
PSP Custom Firmware 3.93:
Uses the 3.93 kernel
Implemented all the original custom firmware features.
Ability to use the normal recovery inside the XMB by pressing the HOME button:
When in the recovery, the system is suspended, and you can change all options directly.
All options work immediately, there is no need to reboot (even the Slim’s USB charging option)
Ability to make a Pandora battery from the recovery, read and restore the EEPROM, etc. Providing that the motherboard supports it.
Ability to hide the MAC address in System Information, if you do so, the MAC will show visually as all 0’s.
Ability to save the savegames in normal format, rather then encrypted (only functions in March33 and Sony NP9960 mode).
The native 3.93 pops isn’t as good as the previous pops; therefore I hope the popsloader will get updated to support 3.93.
1.50 Kernel Add On:
Install kernel 1.50 on a PSP Fat. To use the 1.50 kernel for an application, you’ll absolutely need to put the kernel to 1.50, even if the application is in the GAME150 directory. If you change the kernel in VSH Recovery, you’ll still need a reboot.
The new recovery has this two asked features:
Suspend device
Shutdown device
Whether or not you should upgrade — that’s your discretion. I’d only recommend ensuring you have a means of recovery if something unforeseen happens; i.e.) a pandora’s battery.
!WARNING! Press “X” when the official updater finishes; if not, you will have a brick.
