• When it is done, you will be booted into the XMB. Go back to GAME>MemoryStick. You will see a new app called '35XM33UPDATE'. Launch that and follow the on screen instructions.
• When done, press X to shutdown your PSP, and reboot normally.
• To install the 3.52 M33-4 revision, download the files and move the update folder to /PSP/GAME150. From there, just launch from the XMB, and update.
