What Firmware?
Whats the difference between Custom Firmware (M33 / CFW) and Official Firmware (OFW) ?

To put it simply, Custom Firmware, is identical to Official Firmware, however it is a modified version of the official firmware, made to have extra features and functionality.

Here is a list of Features that Custom Firmware gives you, over having Official Firmware.

> UMD Backup to Memory Stick
This allows you to "backup" your games to your memory stick, allowing you to load and play games stored as ISO/CSO 'disk images' that are stored on your memory stick. No more carrying around your game disks with you.

What is an ISO/CSO disk image?
This is a file, the type of which is ISO, which is a single file containing the entire contents of a Disk/CD, in the PSP's case, the UMD Game Disk. A CSO file, is a Compressed ISO file, which means the file size will be smaller than the standard ISO file.
Downloading ISO/CSOs from the Internet or copying ISO/CSO disk images from others, to which you do not own the original copy of the game, is illegal.

> Region Free / Multi-Region Support
Ability to play games and videos of any region, on your PSP.

> Homebrew
Run Homebrew apps and games on your PSP.

And many more features, however these are the main benefits of custom firmware.

 

Custom Firmware, is not Official, so if you wish to have an 'Official' copy of the Sony Firmware on YOUR PSP, and you are not interested in the features provided by having Custom Firmware, please select an OFW option when ordering our Bricked PSP Repair Service.
