We told ya not to update to 6.20 and for a good reason, as FreePlay has discovered that Sony did indeed discover and block the Save Game Exploit found in Firmware 6.10. That very same one that was demonstrated on the PSP Go running “Hello World”. So lets hope maybe we will see a release since its blocked?? And of course games that require Firmware 6.20 will not play on Custom Firmware enabled machines. Even 5.50 GEN-D2. Were coming to have to wait for either a new Game Decrypter that decrypt Firmware 6.20 or a new CFW.

So how did Sony know this? I personally think its likely someone informed them. Its not like its something easy to find. Who i wonder? Someone in the know thats for sure. Now the game required for this save game exploit has no doubt been removed or now requires FW 6.20……

Looks like Team Typhoon has found a way to run HEN (Homebrew enabler) on the PSP Go, Neon’s video above seems pretty leigit to me, how you could fake that I do not kow. He demonstrates  6.10 Typhoon CFW / HEN and running a homebrew emulator pico drive. And apparently this hack is at the Kernel level. Now as amazing as this all is Neon says its never going to be released…Never! I guess for fear that someone will work it to load ISO and then CFW? Still I wouldn’t mind fulling my PSP Go’s 16GB with a few decent emulators and games.

Also whats got thinking is this exploit part of FreePlay’s Save game exploit or something entirely different?

Custom Firmware 503 GEN-B released.

Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B has been released. This custom firmware update for PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA-088v3 owners now lets users play original firmware 5.55+ games with out the need of Game Decrypter. So no more eboot patching and rebuilding ISO’s with UMDGen. Your now level with 5.50 GEN-D2 users, same options more or less.

Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B Release notes:

Background of core functions:

* Compatible with PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 official firmware 5.03
* Play backups of games REQUIRE PSP firmware above 5.03, including 6.xx
* Reading UMD REQUIRE firmware above 5.03, including 6.xx
* Reading UMD / ISO games protected against the custom firmware.
* Play of PS1 games
* GEN available VSH MENU (SELECT)
* Recovery in VSH available
* Reading Homebrews
* Etc..

It is time to get down to that angry because we have failed to resolve.

Known Bugs:

* MGS demo refuses to run
We’ve tried everything and what works in 5.50GEN-D2 has not worked in the 5.03GEN-B. Pity …

* The Recovery mode menu is “mixed”
The RECOVERY MODE 5.02GEN-A has been patched to run on the PSP-3000. It can change the most usual options but we encounter some problems with this VSH Recovery in and we have not managed to fix it. In fact, the menu sees some of his lines not properly allocated and others who do not work. Note that on a PSP-3000, the recovery is useless, or nearly so, since all the useful features found in the VSH menu or in Ultimate VSH menu Total_Noob of Total_Noob we strongly recommend that you install.

Remember in order to update to 5.03 GEN-B you need to have 5.03 GEN-A already up and running. *Not needed you can go straight to 5.03 GEN-B. Here are some tips to get on the road to CFW 5.03 GEN-B :

1. Ok first up you’ll need a PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with a TA-088v3 *duh…
2. Now make sure your running Firmware 5.03 or less (On FW 5.03+ Sorry this isn’t for ya. ChickHEN only works on 5.03!)
3. Install chickHEN R2 and get it running. This will help: Guide to running ChickHEN R2
4. Once in the Homebrew Enabled Environment aka HEN, run GEN-B. Simple!

Oh and while your at it, Team GEN recommends you install this: Ultimate VSH Menu Revised by Total_Noob, it will give you some useful VSH Menu functions since the Recovery Menu is practically useless….

Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D Released.

Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D has just been released, the release that should have been the cursed 5.50 GEN-C release. This custom firmware now lets users play back up UMD’s that require firmware 5.55 or 6.00 without patching the eboot.

So you save yourself a few steps in playing 5.55+ games. No more extracting the games eboot, using game decrypter to patch the eboot. Then finally re-building the ISO. None of that is needed anymore, thanks to GENyUS

Remember this is for PSP-1000’s, PSP-2000 (Pre TA-88v3) and NOT PSP-3000’s

Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D Features:

All features of 5.50GEN-B2 are available.

Compatibility with games requiring firmware 5.51 with no additional handling (now, you don’t need Game Decrypter)

Compatibility with most of games normally protected and refusing to be ran on a Custom Firmware (Full Metal Alchemist, Soul Calibur, etc). Yoshihiro has created a system to run them and he succeed to make this system more stable and it’s now compatible with all PSP, unlike the 5.50 GEN-C.

Possibility to connect at the Playstation Store via MEDIAGO, to retrieve game and goodies without having to install Fake USB or other complicated stuff.

Support for 480×272 AVC video playback.

Here’s something to keep you all busy while you wait for 5.50 GEN-D,as Zack has released SNES9X Euphoria Release 2.1. This build further improves the Super Famicom / Super Nintendo emulator with a large amount of bugs fixed. Plus further speed improvements. I’ll say this is now the best SNES Emulator there is. Good work Zack and keep at it!

SNES9X Euphoria R2.1 Changelog:

[+] Bug where you couldn’t have more than 200 roms in the ROMS folder or the emulator would crash is now fixed. (I tested with 800 roms in there)

[+] Bug where the emulator would freeze then hard-power-off your PSP after trying to load more than 3 roms is now fixed. (I tried loading rom after rom at least 12 times with no issues)

[+] Bug where you couldn’t return to the menu after running a game is now fixed. (thank god lol)

[+] Bug where emulator would hard-power-off PSP when exiting rather than return to the Xmb is now fixed (both in file menu and main menu)

[+] Bug where the emulator wouldn’t start on Gen firmware fixed (tested by myself on 5.50GenC and Cmbeke on 5.50GenB)

[+] Possible minor speedups from code cleanup.

[+] Removed the intro screen for now. (will be configurable in the next build)

[+] Added the latest version of the snesadvance.dat file (Adds more speedhacks)

To get the best performance use the following settings:

Render : PSP Accelerated
Frameskip : 3 (frameskip @ 1 seems to be sufficient for most games to play at 60fps)

So you can save yourself a few steps in playing 5.55+ games. No more extracting the games eboot, using game decrypter to patch the eboot. Then finally re-building the ISO. None of that is needed anymore, thanks to GENyUS. So delete that Game Decrypter v4 from your hard-drive as you don’t need it anymore. At least for firmware 5.55, 6.00 and 6.10 games.

Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-C issues, lock ups and games not running:

Ok so this isn’t PSPGen’s best release its full of bugs…. so expect an update soon. In the next few days I would think. Here are some tips to get around the ISO/ CSO lock ups and the game could not be started error (8002013C). Try using the M33 ISO driver, in the VSH menu or recovery menu set your UMD ISO mode to M33 driver. That should help. See the below video.

This is release is just loaded with bugs. I suggest you wait for 5.50 GEN-D, but if you like you can still download 5.50 GEN-C from the mirror above…But we warn you its buggy; No internet, CSO don’t work, games randomly crash and lock up your PSP, possible flash1 corruption and a semi bricks.
