Custom Firmware 5.00 M33 has just been released. Dark Alex completely skipped 4.02 and released 5.00 M33. Interested in the changes? Read the PSP 5.00 OFW changes. The most welcome change to 5.00 is the full QUERTY keyboard. No more cellphone like input for us ^_^.
Note: If you’ve already install 5.00 M33, you can skip to it’s patches on the next page. The latest patch is 5.00 M33-6.
Update: Games requiring 5.50 and 6.00 firmwares currently lock out 5.00 M33 users. You may want to read up this guide on how to patch them or simply upgrade to 5.50 GEN-D3. Having 5.50 GEN-D3 installed will play these games without the need to patch up.
Requirements:
- PSP Phat or PSP Slim with 3.52 M33 or higher. If you don’t have custom firmware yet, READ: Convert your PSP to custom firmware.
- PSP battery that’s at least 78% full
- Download: 5.00 M33 | 5.00 M33 | 5.00 M33
- Download: 500.PBP | 500.PBP
- Disable ALL plugins.
- Back up your save files (so that if they get corrupted, you still have backups)
How to install 5.00 M33 CFW on your PSP:
- Extract the 5.00 M33 installer files to your computer.
- Copy the Update folder to X:/PSP/GAME/ on your PSP’s memory stick.
- Download the official 500.PBP. Rename the EBOOT.PBP to 500.PBP before proceeding.
- Copy the 500.PBP to the directory; X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE on your PSP’s memory stick.
- Disconnect your PSP
- Run 5.00 UPDATE from under Game on your PSP’s XMB
- Press X if asked to correct idstorage keys
- Continue to install the official 5.00 SONY when prompted
- After all process is complete, press X. Your PSP will reboot.
- Congratulations, you’ve just installed 5.00 M33
Now for the patches……
STOP!!!

@moiz:
you don’t need to reinstall custom firmware on your PSP just because you’ve bought a new memory card. Just copy over ALL files and folders from your old memory card into the new one.

Plz help :s
Create UPDATE folder. paste the EBOOT.PBP and the 500.PBP to that folder. Then put the UPDATE folder in PSP/GAME folder.
@mj bautista:
he says he has official 5.01 firmware installed.

i know its only m33
I put the update in the right folder and the PBP file but when I try to run it it says “unable to start game. error corrupted data” I downloaded from here so should be corrupt. Someone help, please?
@Dorian
the pbp file may have finished downloading before it was complete. Try another link, I’ve posted several of them right?
