Dark-alex PSP Development weblog.

Hi there, Dark-alex PSP Homebrew Development is now provided a weblog, to support the homebrew work by DAX. The one who writes it is Alek, www.alex.dark-alex.org webmaster. here's a quotation of his said;

Ok, just to clarify some stuff.

1. Last two ofw (3.93 and 3.95) won't be modified to M33 versions. End of discussion. If you updated to that version, you CAN downgrade to CFw 3.90M33 version using last version of Despertar del Cementerio v5, you can find a tutorial on this same site or the PSP-Wiki. If you don't know either how to do and keep insulting, i'd personally look for who is under that IP. Further comments asking or insulting for no making more M33 versions, will be (as now) ipbanned on all the hosts, this means, you won't be able to resolve dax.org, for example.

2. Yes, 4.00 will be next step. Dunno when it will be released the original one, but that won't be like .93 and .95.

3. PS3Zone is not a "hey, Dax is working on it and will make a cfw!!", it's just a place, as i wrote on first post, to explain and make things clear about that system; as there have been so many fakes and stupid ideas around. Soon i will add more stuff as soon as i finish some PS3 Cell processor diagrams :)

4. x86 assembly tut to be continued tomorrow with chapter 3 and (i hope) 4.

Thanks for the understanding. Get ready to update your custom firmware, now that Dark AleX just released an update to 3.90 M33.

This M33-3 release enhances the compatibility and performance of the M33's NO-UMD driver. Here are also some of the fixes that are included in this custom firmware update:

March33 NO-UMD driver compatibility has increased to support games like Coded Arms, Patapon, Harvest Moon Innocent Life and probably others affected by same errors.

Time Machine by Dark_AleX: You can select to install or run Time Machine from the Utilities Menu, selecting this option will exit UPMS Installer and Launch Time Machine. Choose both option 1 and option 2 from the Time Machine's menu. Then choose your desired firmware install, make sure you have the required EBOOT's on the root of your MS.
