I would like to note that this tutorial has been made for free use by anyone who wants it. This tutorial was also made with no intention of making a profit from team M33's work.
Anyone who wants to use this tutorial or M33's firmware to make a profit clearly has no morals and i wish the worst on them.
I would also like the thank team M33 for all the work they do for us and hope they will remain in the psp community for years to come.
3.90 M33 +
With the release of 3.80 M33 it is now possible to update to the latest M33 firmware using the Network update found in SETTINGS of the PSP.
Regularly check the network update. If you do not have a wireless internet connection needed for network update then the PSP can still be upgraded by downloading from the PC and copying to the PSP.
From now on, unless any major changes occur in the update process, i will provide the links for new firmware versions.
To update simply follow the same instructions as 3.80 M33 above, except using the latest firmware.
