Dark_Alex is planning to release custom PSP firm 5.00 M33-4 soon, according to his post. If you can read Spanish, maybe you can figure out what is expected in the release.
PSP Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-3 is a bug fix release to the previous custom PSP Firmware 5.00 M33-2. A bug was introduced in 5.00 M33-2 that made some games and homebrew not to work.
and PSN version check is now automatically bypassed without need of touching any setting.
fatmsmod is the fat file system memory stick driver of Sony. Since 3.80, its speed decreased a lot, mainly noticeable in isos, that’s why in that time Dark_Alex released a program to flash the 3.71 driver in 3.80 (and resolve some incompatibilities). This is same, but updated for 5.00.
Dark_Alex has released PSP custom firmware 5.00 M33-2. PSP custom firmware 5.00 M33-2 allows you to play ISO/CSO files using ur msduo and the files can be downloaded anywhere. You can also play games using only your duo with out UMD.
Dark_Alex has released popsloader for custom PSP firmware 5.00 m33-2. Pops loader is Playstation One Portable Station that loads games intended originally for the Sony PSX console onto the PSP. Popsloader is described as an emulator. which allows the use of games designed for other consoles and/or platform such as PC, in this case the PSP console and PSX games. The emulator makes use of the PlaystationPortable hardware and certain modules which allow for almost seamless play of almost all of the playstation one catalogue on the portable. This is possible because the portable uses software to render the games found originally on the PSX.

Dark AleX has released the latest custom firmware for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) with custom firmware 3.90 M33-3 – with improved NO-UMD compatibility for PSP. This 3.90 M33-3 firmware release enhances the compatibility and performance of the M33’s NO-UMD driver. This firmware release also has compatibility increased to support games like Coded Arms, Patapon, Harvest Moon Innocent Life and probably others affected by same errors.

Reduced size of the font used in dissasembler and memory viewer. Allowing reduce dissasembler window size; now imports won’t overlap). Initial support of opening files (not working fine yet). Threading support currently disabled (I have to fix some issues). mstick and reflection demos not supported yet. Download at our PSP emulation page.
Dark_AleX / Team M33 has released the much anticipated new custom PSP firmware 3.80 M33. 3.80 m33 firmware will allow you to run both new PSP games requiring this firmware, but homebrew/emulators as well. The good about these 3.80 firmwares (other than the obvious ability to run the games and use homebrew) is that it updates purely with a Sony update EBOOT. Basically this means, any risk of PSP bricking should be eliminated since you are not at any time compiling your own update. This is very good news for PSP users (especially myself) who may not want the hassle of creating a Pandora Battery in case of bricking. Dark_Alex’s PSP Firmware 3.80 m33 and PSP Firmware 3.80-m33-2 have these changes:
