Gaming MS Speed enhancer @ 5.50GEN-B2

[Yuan]

Until 5.00M33-4, DarK_AleX used Sony's 3.71OFW MS Driver to enhance MS speed at its custom firmware. Then he developed his own one.

Although his patch doesn't work at 5.50GEN-B2, the 3.71 driver works fine

Don't tested it much, but Soul Calibur CSO is loading 3 seconds faster.

Tutorial:

Tested only at 5.50GEN-B2

Original Post by PoisonousMonk3y

after upgrading to 5.50GEN the lack of speed on the memory stick really began to bother me and so i set about fixing it, at first i tried U3R firmware which was supposed to give the 'speedupms' hack. Although it appeared in the recovery menu i didnt see any significant diference so i tried the fatmsmod. But of course I couldnt just run the 3.71 patcher because it always crashed or returned an error. So i attempted to flash the fatmsmod on manually but first i needed to know what files it patches. Because im not allowed to upload the files and share them on this site you will have to obtaint them yourself.

You will need:
fatms371_friend.prx
fm371.prx
pspbtjnf.bin
pspbtknf.bin
pspbtlnf.bin

In order to get these i used desparter del cementrio v8, launched M33 in test mode and installed the fatmsmod. i then connected my psp (from GEN) to my computer, sim0ply go to the KD (inside TM) folder and find those files above(they may have $ in front of them simply delete that $ from the frront). Once you have those files copy them to your hard disk and reconnect your psp in F0, simply copy the obove files to the KD folder on your root and TADA it works, and it actually has a visible diference. (note to you who think you dont have a KD folder simply goto file and search options in windows and goto tab view, then check 'show hidden files and folders' and un-check hide protected os files)

NOTE:
Before trying this tutorial try installing the Fatmsmod using the patch released by DAX it has been reported to work for some. The patch will crash at the gameboot if you have LEDA 0.2 installed. It may also return to XMB stating 'The game could not be started' this can happen with out LEDA (it happened to me). If you suffer from one of the two errors stated above then this TUT is for you.

Thanks for reading,

Still not as quick as the 5.00 M33-6 speedboost!

True, but it is better than GEN's official driver!

How come the post says,

Although his patch doesn't work at 5.50GEN-B2

But then why does it imply that it does work on GEN B2?

 

[wyndcrosser]

He saying the other 5.00 M33 patch (the one dark alex made himself) wouldnt work with 5.50GEN B2, but the old 3.71 OFW does. It's written in English....

For having a 2,000+ post count, you really are slow, I'm guessing you respond to everything and make up stupid topics.

SORRY Gbatemp.net but people like this kill me.

Anyone got improvements?

. If anyone has patience to compare speed, please share the results.

 

[xist]

The comparison table is in the 5.00M33-6 update.

 

[themuddaload]

hmm, nice... i thought my games were running kinda slow.

@Brian -

Thanks, but unfortunately that table is in html, and gbatemp doesn't accept html code

No chance of brick, if you use it at an 5.50GEN-B2 at least. But it is not working at PSP Phat (game can't be started).

Compare the time it takes to show game icon on XMB, game video and the game itself to load.

There are some videos at youtube about 3.71 FATMSMOD:

I toggle the Advanced->Toggle USB(flash 0), and then I'm not finding the /kd/ folder. Can I go ahead without any worries about backing up the files?

I toggle the Advanced->Toggle USB(flash 0), and then I'm not finding the /kd/ folder. Does it matter, or can I go ahead without any worries?

It's on the root of flash0, if you can't find it you will not be able to install this patch on PSP 1000. At PSP 2000 you will not be able to backup files only.
