Our forum friend, eckounltd is on the ball lately. Recently he informed us of a bug fix for custom firmware 3.71 M33. Yes, Dark_AleX is the one behind it still… so let's hope the rumors of him leaving begin to fade away. Anyways, this bug fix addresses a few important things. To be a jerk, I'll just repeat, word-for-word, what psp-hacks has to say.

• 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 restoration 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.

Also, a bug that sometimes crashes the PSP upon coming out of sleep mode has also been fixed. Be warned though, two bugs still exist – those, however, are Sony's fault. It's a little illegal to edit Sony's code to fix their error, so I expect that this will be fixed officially by Sony with a new firmware release, but you never know.
