Custom PSP Firmware 3.90M33-2 released

Dark Alex has released an update to custom firmware 3.90M33, taking the current version to 3.90M33-2.

You should be able to download the update using the network option if you are already on one of the later custom firmware versions, or alternatively grab the files from the Dark Alex website.

- Improvements in plugins loading code:

* Fixed some problems with problematic cards due to filesystem not mounted.
* Now plugins should read the faster.
* Problem fixed with lines with spaces at the end.

- Added the rest of regions to the recovery option fakeregion.

- (PSP SLIM): Added patches in nand ipl to allow Booster multiploader and TimeMachine iploader to boot from nand.

Note: only 3.90 M33-2 and higher can be booted from nand in slim with those ipl loaders, not official Sony firmwares or previous versions of M33.

Changes in updater:

- The 3.90 eboot downloading code is now more stable, no more freezes after selecting AP
- Memory stick write in the 3.90 downloading code is delayed the maximum possible for faster operation (the system prefers big chunks of data written at once).

  3. Nick, you can only install 3.90m33 by first downgrading you standard Sony PSP firmware 3.90 using the Pandora Battery. Custom firmware can only be installed on ‘hacked’ PSP’s.
