3.71 M33 Install Guide

Here is a step by step guide for installing 3.71 M33. Please note that you must be running 3.52 M33-3, 3.52 M33-4 or 3.60 M33 to begin this installation.

Note: Before installing 3.71 M33, be warned that it currently is lacking the 1.50 kernel, even on regular (Phat) PSPs. Dark_AleX does plan to release a 1.50 kernel patch within the next few days, but for now you can use the eLoader to run 1.50 kernel homebrew on 3.71 M33.

First grab the 3.71 M33 files and extract them.

1. Copy the UPDATE folder contained in the archive to X:/PSP/GAME
2. Download the 3.71 EBOOT, and then place it in X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE
3. Navigate to the Game menu on the PSP and execute the program, it will not run unless there is 78 percent battery free.
4. Press X and the update process will start. Yes it may look similar to a regular Sony update but don't worry!
5. Once finished, the updater will ask you to press X or O to reboot. You MUST do this, otherwise you'll end up with a brick.
6. You've now successfully installed 3.71 M33 ;)

How AJAX can Work for you

If you’ve been in the internet world for sometime, you might have bumped in the word AJAX. No, it’s not the European Soccer team but it’s a new web development tool that has been the craze for millions of web developers. Every training center and computer schools are scrambling to learn this new software so that it can be offered in courses.

Proficiency in this web technique means potential thousands of revenues. If you’re just starting to learn some web programming techniques, better culminate them with AJAX.

AJAX is short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. That sound’s really complicated and it really is. So that we will understand them let’s take a look at the first word: “asynchronous”. Asynchronous in the computer world is something really revolutionary. Before AJAX, the page or the action will just load because of the communication of your computer to the server. For example, when you click on menu, it will communicate with the server so that it will load the menu to your computer. That could cause some delay since there are so many things to consider.

First, the server should be online; second, you should have a fast internet connection and third the possibility of serving more than one requests at the same time. Imagine you have a good computer and very fast internet connection but you can’t really access the website because it can’t handle the number of requests at the same time.

For the page to load, it will basically need the assistance of the server to make them work. But with “Asynchronous” it doesn’t need any action from the server once it has started. If you have a very fast PC, you don’t need to worry about the internet connection. A simple broadband connection will be just enough to load the pages faster. If we’re just a regular internet surfer who just wanted to watch videos, this sounds very good.

There will be online tools that will load faster so that we can watch the videos faster and better. Among the websites that are using AJAX right now is Google. You may notice that the homepage of Google is really fast to load no matter what your internet connection is. Yahoo is also following this trend. Everyone now wants to have this technique in their websites to lift the burden from the servers and place it to the customers.

Google is on top of this right now as it uses AJAX for their search engines, Google Maps, Google Earth, Gmail and other Google based applications.

As consumers, it could pose some threat especially to those who have poor computers and poor internet connection. But I think it’s not a reality right now. Most computers who can run Windows XP in their computer smoothly will have the ability to have the benefits of Google.

This revolutionary technique is taking the world by storm. Even though you don’t know what exactly is happening in the internet, it surely is making things work smoothly for all of us.

Ajax Tools that a Webmaster can Use

AJAX is changing the shape of the web even as we speak. There are thousands of applications being developed right now and they are ready to launch. From Google to the garage web developers, Ajax is now the technique everyone is learning. Though it may require some time so that this be implemented in almost all websites, it’s slowly chipping in to all major internet search engines. Yahoo is also adopting the technique so it won’t be long that everyone is using this.

If you’re a webmaster, you also want your website to be functional to Ajax. Each website requires a specific bandwidth so that it can properly load in the computer of the user. But if you successfully load Ajax, although it will still require bandwidth
it will not be as much as the previous version.

Since creating a website based on Ajax is quite tricky, there are some websites and tools that you can use in your web creating software so that you can add something cool. Note that these sites are free and if you already know how to write a code for software, you can develop it into something better than the web developers created.

Star Ratings Bar – Masugadesign.com has developed a script for webmasters that needs an interactive star rating for their articles, pictures and movies. The problem that we used to have then was that people wanted to rate something, the need to be logged in and the page will refresh. The user will have to wait again. This code, when properly loaded in the webpage automatically updates the star rating without refreshing the page. No need for the users to log in, refresh and wait for the page to load again. Normally that prevents the people from rating something but if you have this, they can just click won’t
worry about the page. You can directly reach the page by here.

Prototype Window – Now this is for bragging rights. Personally, I really don’t need a new window to take a look at any page. But this Ajax tool is so cool you really should consider having them to your website. This window will prevent you from seeing the whole page, but this is a great help menu for the people who wanted to learn more about the website or some information about what they are purchasing. The good thing about this is that instead of a new page that will be loaded it will just load on the present page. Get the code here.

Ajax Load Generator – if you have a video sharing website, this is perfect for you. Imeem, Veoh and other video sharing websites all have this nifty indicator when a video is slowly loading to your computer. All you need to do is to indicate what background color you want for your video template, the loading icon, size and just generate the code. Just point the video or picture to your website and you’re on your way. Get the codes here.
