PSP Custom Firmware 5.0 Released

Quicker than you can say ‘I wonder how long it will take before Dark-Alex releases a custom firmware version of 5.0?’ comes the news that Dark-Alex has released a custom firmware version of the latest official Sony firmware 5.0.

You can grab the files from Dark-Alex, installation procedure is to download and copy the contents of the 5.00M33.rar into PSP\Game on your PSP memory stick, copy the 5.00.PBP to the same directory and then run the 5.00 M33 updater from the PSP Game menu.

I’m about to perform this update now, as I’m a few steps behind the release schedule, so I’ll let you all know how I get on…

  1. A lot of people are having problems updating this. I think I’ll wait a while until Dark_Alex revises the code. Have you had any problems with it as well?

  3. Dr H, installed with no problem from 3.93M33. I’ll write more on this later.
