what is the 3:33:33
 

First let me say how much I love the work of the M33 team, thank you so much! Now heres the thing, what is the story behind 3:33:33? specifically why is the date set to "when the sun shown in the dark or night" on 3.51M33? does it have anything to do with the Multiwavelength Messier 33 spiral galaxy? is it just a coincidence that the Uncertainty Major and Ellipse Minor are 1.50E+00? see link http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/supp/m_NED.html#m33 which is the same firmware version that is needed to add support for unsigned code to CFW? Please let me know, many people over at the Sony forums (for the us) are very curious. thanks again.

i think thats it because in flash0 there is a prx called galaxy.prx

That sounds good (( Multiwavelength Messier 33 spiral galaxy )) and vodkkaa your right I looked and there is a galaxy.prx (( What does that prx do )) look at this here

was the galaxy.prx something that was added by M33 though or something that is common to all firmwares though?

Oh and I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the Arabic Numeral 3 (thats the system of numbers we use) looks the same as the Cyrillic letter зэ (its pronounced like the z in zoo) M also being a Cyrillic letter I wonder is M33 a Russian word? google search for it turned up some odd things, a bit of a philosophy text, and a Russian myspace equivalent. my Russian isn't great but it's good enough to know neither of those things were relevent.

I really wish they'd clue us in to the meaning behind M33 (and that March 33rd calendar thing), a little out of curiosity but mostly because I love the number 3 and it bothers me not knowing.

lol dam u guys are deep, i havent even thought about it. im kinda interested now

galaxy.prx is a M33 module that patches np9660.prx so we can load iso's off of it. (from what i have heard)

heres what i got when i opened galaxy.prx in notepad:

i wonder what "M33GalaxyController" means lol

'M33' typed in Cyrilic letters (like 'мзз') doesn't mean any russian word.

:)

Messier 33...If miss "essier" it'll be M33...Maybe this messier means smth for developer team?Sorry for my weak english...

Maybe they came from the M33 Galaxy to save the homebrew scene :))

And i think that 3:33:33 means 3+33+33=69 - and 69 means INFINITY ^_^

if you look at the uncompressed version, you'll see

which leads me to believe its the file that patches np9660

its a cruel AI, that once will awake in future PSPs with firmware 3.33.33, conquer the galaxy and set under control of m33 :cool:

3:33:33 means when the time machinist perfected the time machine from other galaxy and went back to our time in our galaxy and trained M33 to make custom firmwares, lol........

there is also a march_33.prx file ?

I wonder what that does.

i think it's the vshmenu.. :D

wow, just found http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/1311880
apparently theres a bluegrass style song called March 33rd

There remains a small part of me that can not help but think M33 is a reference to something obscure or distinctly Russian enough that I will never understand it. Perhaps it's nothing but I like to think it's referenced by the Russian equivalent of Charles Hoy Fort (the same for Russian speakers Форт, Чарльз Гой) Like M33s work is some special and damned work rejected by the mainstream and embraced and understood only by the courageous few. (if you found any of that last bit interesting why not read The Book of the Damned sorry but I couldn't find a Russian translation.)

Sorry to double post and all but herehere are the mentions of the M33 Galaxy in Science Fiction.
the weird part is I think my father might actually have some old Yoko Tsuno comics, freaky.

M33 is something in the Galaxy... I think :)
