PSP Slim hacked! M33 custom firmware v3.60 released …

It seems as Sony hasn’t done much to protect new PSP Slim from homebrew community modders. Or is it more adequate to say that Sony hasn’t done - enough? Homebrew community - M33 team of modders, has just released a custom version of the PSP Slim firmware v3.60. It includes all of the features of their previously released M33 custom firmware v3.52, with the exclusion of v1.5 kernel support. Meaning, that homebrew specifically written for v1.5 will not run on M33’s custom firmware v3.6. As disclosed, installation of M33 custom firmware v3.60 is difficult requiring Pandora battery and Pandora Memory Stick, a non-Slim PSP with firmware v1.5 and of course the PSP Slim.

M33
We are proud to present the first custom firmware for the PSP Slim, and the first custom firmware
that runs using a 3.XX IPL (3.60)

3.60 M33 for PSP Slim has all the features of 3.52 M33, except the 1.50 kernel support, as
that kernel doesn’t work properly on psp slim (hardware problems, screen problems).
3.60 M33 will load homebrew from GAME, GAME150 and GAME360 directories, but all will be executed
with 3.60 kernel.

This mean that some homebrews done specifically for the 1.50 kernel cannot work on 3.60 M33.
However, the adaptation of code to 2.XX+ kernels is not difficult, and homebrew developers can
port their applications to work in these firmwares.
