Dark_AleX has released PSP Custom Firmware 4.01 M33 today. In addition to minor bug fixes, this edition brings 4.01 kernel support, complete with multi-language support for Recovery Mode.

Instructions can be found in the included readme on how to translate the recovery text to your native language. And no, this release does not include in-XMB recovery or savestate support... those enhancements are still planned, but will likely be added in a future update.

As usual, the Firmware Update can be applied directly via Network Update if you are running a previous release from 3.80 M33 and onward, or by following the manual installation instructions below, provided that you have a homebrew capable PSP.

Since their are no schematics or plans anywhere on the net to do this, we had a-lot of head scratching and hurdles to deal with, but in the end it worked out very well as you can see.




Basically what we've done is cut the data path from the internal USB controller chip on the PS3 to the #4 USB port (the one closest to the center).

We then wired the upstream connection on the "external" hub to the PS3's data output on those traces... More »
