Firmware 3.72 is now available to download in Japan. The update isn’t a big one and simply increases PlayStation Network title compatibility and updates the 1seg channel list. The update isn’t available on the US or European websites yet, so we’re not sure if anything else has changed yet. You can find the small list of changes below.
New is Firmware 3.72:
1Seg TV
- The one-segment in the channel list has been updated.
Network

A new version of Team M33′s Custom Firmware has been released, however, Dark_AleX was responsible for the new version. 3.71 M33-2 corrects a few bugs and adds a few new features and
modifications. See below for the complete changelog.
Changelog:
- There was a bug that caused corruption when writing files of more than 32256 bytes using usb flash. The bug has been corrected, and now the implementation is as reliable as it was when it was
based on 1.50 kernel. (tested with a full restauration of a dump)
- PSP Slim: a functionality to let the charge of battery when connecting a usb cable has been added. This feature is based on Noobz plugin code. By default is not enabled, you can enable it in recovery. Note that the charge of battery may be delayed some
seconds since the moment you plug the cable.
- After installing this update, program at /PSP/GAME/UPDATE will always be executed on 3.71 kernel, despite configuration.
- VSHMenu: vshmenu will not be executed when onscreen keyboard is active, to avoid the lost of the select button function in the keyboard. An option to reset the PSP has been added.
- VSH plugins are not longer executed anymore in recovery mode, that was the cause of pseudo-bricks.

UPDATE (Posted on Oct 1st 2007 at 11:00 GMT +9:00):
Some of you have been asking why we are visiting Australia. There are two main reasons: firstly, we needed a much needed vacation, and secondly, to meet some of our fans downunder.
We will update the website as often as we can, however, you may notice some delay between news articles since will be on the road mostly, with limited Internet access. You may spot some of the staff in Oz wearing XTREME PSP and XTREME PS3 T-Shirts. We will also be giving away some freebies to anyone intetested.
As promised, Dark_AleX has released the 1.50 kernel add-on for Custom Firmware 3.71 M33. The add-on works only for the older PSP models (PSP-1000), and installation instructions are included in the zip package. The add-on allows you to run homebrew that runs on the 1.50 kernel, which was not included in 3.71 M33.
“The program will reject PSP Slim, due to the 1.50 kernel not working on it.” So, this is good news for those who are on the older PSP model who are craving some 1.50 homebrew.
