Dark_AleX has released 3.71 M33-2, an important update for all 3.71 M33 users that includes various bug fixes and adds the functionality of Noobz’s recent USB charger plugin for PSP Slim units.

Additionally, version 2 of the 1.50 kernel patch has been released, fixing a minor sleep mode bug. The install process for both updates is the same, simply copy the UPDATE folder to the GAME folder on your memory stick and then run the respective update from the PSP.

3.71 M33-2 Changes:

– There was a bug that caused corruption when writing files of more than 32256 bytes using usb flash.
The bug has been corrected, and now the implementation is as reliable as it was when it was based on 1.50 kernel.
(tested with a full restoration of a dump)

– PSP Slim: a functionality to let the charge of battery when connecting a usb cable has been added.
This feature is based on Noobz plugin code.
By default is not enabled, you can enable it in recovery.
Note that the charge of battery may be delayed some seconds since the moment you plug the cable.

– After installing this update, program at /PSP/GAME/UPDATE will always be executed on 3.71 kernel, despite configuration.

– VSHMenu: vshmenu will not be executed when onscreen keyboard is active, to avoid the lost of
the select button function in the keyboard.
An option to reset the psp has been added.

– VSH plugins are not longer executed anymore in recovery mode, that was the cause of pseudo-bricks.

Note about two bugs remaining:

The WLAN network error, and the PSP Slim psx game change of brightness.
These two bugs are copyright of Sony :) happens too in OFW.

The WLAN network happens when there is no network available, so not a big problem.

1.50 Kernel Patch v2 Changes:

– When returning from sleep mode, 3.71 ipl was executed causing an immediate crash. Fixed.
