CFW 4.01 M33 -2 Dark Alex's

Well, Dark_AleX and Team M33 have responded and released their 4.01 M33 CFW. Seeing how Sony released 4.0 OFW and then followed it up quickly with a 4.01 Update, Team M33 kept up and in stride with them. Nice.

Here's the info from the TXT file that accompanies the Team M33 Update (with few additions, by me):

4.01 M33 CFW:
Instructions:
1. Copy UPDATE folder to the ms0:/PSP/GAME/
2. Copy the 4.01 Sony update as 401.PBP in same folder (ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE), or let the program download it for you using a wifi connection once you run the update (Step 3).
3. From within the XMB - GAME - MEMORY STICK, run the 4.01 M33 Update.

** Reminder-> "ms0:/" is your PSP's drive letter when connected to your PC. **

Changes:
- Bug fix: vshmenu didn't let change camera mode due to camera_plugin using select button.
- Fixed, now vsh menu will not be loaded when using the camera.
- Recovery can now be translated, See how below. Translation to spanish is autoincluded.
- Updated the M33 SDK with a new function and sample, and released the psp-packer tool to compress prx's and PBP's in the ~PSP format.
- The folder of 4.01 and higher homebrew will be GAME4XX so it won't need change on the update.
- Translating the recovery.
To translate the recovery create a text file in ms0:/seplugins/xx_recovery.txt or flash1:/xx_recoery.txt (they are evaluated in that order),
where xx is the language code of your language:

es -> spanish
en -> english
fr -> french
de -> german
it -> italian
ja -> japanese
ko -> korean
nl -> netherlands
pt -> portuguese
ru -> russian
ch1 -> chinese simplified
ch2 -> chinese traditional

The file en_recovery.txt in translate folder is included for people to translate to their languages, this file is not needed for english people,
as the english language is used when no language file is found. Just change the english strings to your language ones, and put it in the
path mentioned above. Be careful to check in the recovery that the lines look fine, don't use too large text.

The spanish file es_recovery.txt will be written by the program in the memory stick.


1.50 Kernel for 4.01 M33 Instructions:
Team M33 and Dark_AleX have released the 1.50 kernel add-on for their 4.01 CFW. Server problems delayed the release a little.

Instructions:
1. Copy the 150k_installer folder to ms0:/PSP/GAME4XX.
2. Copy the 1.50 Official Firmware EBOOT file (renamed to 150.pbp) to the root of your memory stick (ms0:/).
3. From the XMB - GAME - MEMORY STICK run the 1.50 Kernel Addon for 4.01.


4.01 M33-2 (bugfix update):
Soon after the release of 4.01 M33 CFW Team M33 and Dark_AleX have released a bug fix.

Instructions:
1. Copy the UPDATE folder to ms0:/PSP/GAME.
2. From the XMB - GAME - MEMORY STICK run the M33-2 PSP Update ver 4.01.

and disabled strings not translated in plugins, hide pic0+pic1 couldn't be changed, language file in flash1 wasn't working.

These links above are on my RS account in case anyone is having trouble downloading them from other sources.
You can also find the 4.01 M33 files and the 1.50 EBOOT file on QJ.net's Download Section for the PSP, and acquire the OFW 4.01 EBOOT file directly from Sony using the "Update Using A PC" link.
Or, you can run the NETWORK UPDATE from your 3.90 M33 CFW PSP as long as DAX's site is your default download centre. Although, you will still need to acquire the OFW 1.50 EBOOT file seperately.
