Miriam has updated the popular CXMB plug-in, originally written by Poisonhzkj, with full support for the recently released 4.01 M33 Custom Firmware.
For those interested, CXMB allows users to safely load non-PTF custom made XMB themes from memory stick, rather than by replacing files on the PSP’s flash memory.

According to the author, no other significant changes were made in this release, aside from compatibility with 4.01 M33.
Dark_AleX has updated to PSP Custom Firmware 3.90 M33 which further improves compatibility of the built-in M33 NO-UMD driver. As always, the update can be downloaded via Network Update or by the direct link below. Unfortunately, the update does not remedy reading off GAME390 instead of GAME380 in this revision.
Changes:
* 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.
Dark_AleX has also updated his 'Despertar del Cementerio' Universal Unbricker application to version 5. It can be used in conjunction with a Pandora battery to restore and install Custom Firmware on any PSP unit regardless of model or motherboard.

Poisonhzkj has updated CXMB today, a Custom Firmware plug-in that allows users to install custom made XMB themes from the memory stick rather than by copying files to the PSP’s flash memory.
Now compatible with 3.71 and 3.90 M33 series Firmware, the plug-in introduces a file format called CTF (short for CXMB theme file).
Download: CXMB for 3.90 M33 with Theme Creator / CXMB for 3.90 M33 / CXMB for 3.71 M33
When installing a new theme to the memory stick, CXMB automatically creates a Default.ctf file on bootup which contains the contents of the installed theme.
Finally, pre-made themes in CTF format are available from the author's site HERE.
As mentioned previously, Sony has now released the PSP Firmware Update v4.01 as expected.
To recap, the update includes two main changes, the latter being improved video playback for certain file types.

* Playback of video content under Video has been improved for certain file types.

Ever since Sony announced that GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver and mapping software for PSP would be available in Japan, PSP fans have been waiting with baited breath that maps for other part of the world would be made available as well.

Good news to all PSP fans in UK. The Go Explore software and GPS receiver is coming to you. You can now use your PSP as GPS Sat Nav system to navigate around London in 3D. How cool is that?

OldPrisoneR has released the initial BETA of FuSa, a Custom Firmware plug-in that enables Slim owners to play PSP games on their television over standard composite cable.
Under normal circumstances, the PSP would require that you use a component cable, so this plug-in neatly removes that restriction.
Tested on CFW 3.80 M33-5.. For compatibility information and usage instructions, refer to the included readme file.
