http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=2143

Ok I know that not many people use the location free player but for those of you that do, here's a guide to re-enable it in 3.40OE-A and 3.51M33. Don't use this guide if you want japanese/korean/chinese fonts as it gets rid of them.

NOTE:THIS GUIDE ACCESS' FLASH0. IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEMI-BRICK BUT IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO A TEE IT SHOULD WORK.
Anyway with all that said on with the guide.

1. Follow my guide HERE to free up the space needed to re-enable the location free player.

2. Download these files HERE if you are on 3.400E-A or these files HERE if you are on 3.51M33.

3. Access the recovery menu by turning off your PSP completely then hold R when turning it back on.

4. Go to advanced/Toggle USB (flash0).
NOTE:If you are having trouble accessing flash0 follow my guide HERE to fix it.

5. Plug your PSP into your PC via usb cable.

6. Navigate to vsh/nodule then copy all the .prx files in the folder you just downloaded in there.

7. Now navigate to vsh/resource and put all the .rco files I gave you in there.

8. Exit recovery mode.

9. You should have location free player back on your psp.

Custom Firmware M33-7 Update Released!

custom firmware 3.51 M33 . Props to the team for yet another!

Quoted M33-7 changelog:

  • Improvements in M33 NO- UMD driver (yeah, we know that sony one is better, but we still are working on our own driver to make it perfect as a challenge). The improvements:
    • Fixed a bug that caused incompatibility with ATV Offroad Fury Pro, Steel Horizons, Tony Hawk's Project 8 and probably more games.
    • Speed loading has improved, now M33 driver imitates better Sony one.
  • Automatic display fix for ta-082+ with brightness problems in 1.50 kernel.
    • M33 will autodetect ta-082+ with brightness problems, and will correct brightness properly.
  • Wlan fix is now done differently, patch is done in 3.51 kernel before going to 1.50 one.
    • For those that don't read well the readmes: we never would include in our files a sony prx! The fix was and is done simply with code. The 3.40 mention was to notice that the problem was not a M33 bug, but a problem caused by Sony.
  • 4th level of brightness enabled on 1.5 kernel too now.
  • An option has been added to recovery, "Hard Reset on 1.50 homebrew". Use this, only if the wifi fix doesn't work with your psp still. It makes homebrew boot a bit slower.

Copy M33_7/EBOOT.PBP to the PSP/GAME150 directory on your memory stick. Load it, accept the update, and you're fully patched!
