3.80 M33 Released
January 14, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Dark_Alex has released that latest custom firmware for the PSP 3.80 download it now just copy to you Memory Stick “PSP/GAME/UPDATE” and run it from the xmb.
Requeriments:
- Installation requires a PSP with 3.52 M33-3 or higher. In the future installation using
panddra battery will be released.Instructions
- Copy the UPDATE folder into /PSP/GAME/
- Get the 3.80 sony update from somewhere, and put it in same folder, with name “380.PBP”.
- Run it, the update will be done by Sony updater. At the end when you are asked to reboot the
PSP pressing X or O, do it.
Changes:- HEN core: user mode can load now signchecked files from flash.
- recovery: flash1 format will create flash1 directories after format.
This could fix some flash1 issues with the previous versions.
- Network update from dark-alex.org page. By default is enabled.
You can turn it off in recovery (when off, network update will download sony updates as usual).
- Nids resolver for various kernel libraries.Comments:
In 3.80 sony has changed (again) kernel nids. The nids resolver will resolve a lot of nids from firmwares 1.50-3.60
(traditional nids) to the ones of 3.80 kernel.
In general, 3.71 nids will NOT be resolved to 3.80 ones. However, to compatibilize 3.80 M33 with prx’s programmed for 3.71,
a few very 3.71 nids that were found in some 3.71 plugins will be resolved too.
More info about what is resolved in nidsresolver_status.txt.Thanks to the combination of the nids resolver and the user libraries possibility in kernel mode added back in 3.71 M33-3,
some programs that stopped working in 3.30 M33 may work again now. One of them is PimpStreamer 0.90.Finally, popsloader plugin from 3.71 will not work in 3.80 M33 due to its system dependancy. A new one will be rewritten for 3.80 M33.

December 19, 2007 at 1:50 am
An unanoncesd feature in the new release wave from sony for the PSP 3.80 and PS3 2.10 now has the ability the play psx discs and downloads via RemotePlay for more info please read the post over on the official sony forum.
I really don’t understand sony when they release a cool new feature and don’t tell any one the only explanation the I can think of is that it is still in the beta stage of testing.
