i just found that out too!
beat me to it pspfan

we beat psp-hacks to it, i though they updated every half hour

stupid software

I’m still running M33 CFW, but now the its users are no longer able to access PSN, I’m thinking about switching to GEN. But the only thing that’s keeping me from using GEN is its inability to run 1.5 applications. Should I just go ahead and switch to GEN or keep running M33 until support for 1.5 applications is implemented into GEN? How far away would that be?

Ha!! pspupdates.qj.net are slow….

great job for you guys,,,but unfortunately, im unable to use this one.. i have an 88v3 mobo.. hehe.. better luck next time..

* The game Evangelion Jo works. -that sounds quite impressive-Iassume that it isn’t so well protected after all

So what does this mean that even psp 3k with 5.03 cant use this???? and before you say anything i know its a noob question but i just wanna know to make sure

I am new to this website and I have no clue whan enabler mean and I need to know what type of battery I have without opening it!. I have a Red God Of War PSP. Can someone please KINDLY answear my question. I

thanks u who has created this software .It works like shit!

OH, just as a heads up…. When I updated to GEN B the pops loader for GEN A started having issues. I switched to the M33-6 popsloader and it is working perfectly. I know its wierd but, I thought it was worth a shot and I’m not having any problems with Soul Reaver. If your having pops problems give it a try.

the evanjelion jo compatibility is the highlight….and PSN access…. genYus definitely put a lot in this one….
i hope they don’t expose how they worked around the evanjelion check….. or another update will pop up….

good job pspfan…this site is the best at updates..

I have a PSP-3K with a firmware 5.50… in my exitement to turn my PSP to use a CFW, i am somewhat disapointed when i leared its only for PSP-1000 & 2000 only… I have downloaded tons of game that i wanted to play but it turnout i still can’t use a CFW and my psp UMD reader is somewhat showing signs of mulfuction, it hungs up during a game, sometimes it cannot read the UMD.. i cheched my UMD’s are clean and i just bought this unit a month ago

Good job guys… now we need to upgrade 5.03 Gen-A for the 3000

Surely thier is a hack for PSP 3k firmware 5.50 bec. sony had released a new firmware 5.51 to fix its previous firmwares..Homebrews are falling behind while sony is getting it lead back. I HOPE you guys can catch up… as for i i have to wait alitle longer and avoid that update icon…

I hope they can FiX Resistance Retribution online gameplay. Playing Resistance Retribution online is kinda frustrating coz the game is very slow and laggy.

DO WE NEED CFW FOR THIS?

nevermind, cause it needs GEN-A and it says Corruped data on mine.
Don’t need to waste time.

It seems iRShell doesn’t work on this. Its a shame because I really liked that mod, but I’d rather stay up to date on my firmware.

I’ve been going back and forth between gen and M33 for a while. I just want Gen so that I could make a pandora battery. is it worth it? im on 5.00M33-6 currently. and does it support making pandoras with PSP 1000 batterys? a friend tried and it didnt work. I have PSP1000.

Hi guys. I just put 5.00 M33-6 on my 2000 the other day. This was the first time I have ever modded my PSP with CFW and thanks to all of the guides and comments on here, it worked perfectly. Loved the fact that ChickHEN dosent require Pandora.

My question is, I’m still reading and learning about the differences in the CFW’s for the PSP. I do undersatand that 5.50 GEN-B will allow me to get to the PSN again. Is that the only reason it would be worth it to change from 5.00 M33-6? Is there any other reason I would want to change. From my reading I think I understand that since I am already on 5.00 M33-6 that the change to 5.50 GEN-B is simple and does not require the Pandora’s battery. I assume that if I also change to 5.50 GEN-B its also a Permahack like the 5.00 M33-6? Appreciate the info and help.

I Don’t think it worths. because almost all programs out there for PSP are designed to work on m33 cfw. I know they may work on GEN too and appreciate team GEN’s work, but the best cfw for PSP is M33!!! forever!!!

davee! help! I updated my 3k to 5.50 and you said 5.50 could be hacked could you please help!?! I’ll do almost anything!

I downgraded back to 5.00 M33-6, iRShell > PSN since I don’t buy anything off PS Store.

Whatever happened to 5.03 GEN-A v2!?

Thanks it works fine

Ok on first installing this hitting select didn’t bring up the VSH menu. You have to restart your PSP and hold R shoulder to enter recovery and then in the config enable the VSH Menu. For some reason PSPGen have this disabled as default.

Is it worth the update from 5.00 M33-6? Yes if you want access to the Playstation Store. If your not worried about the Store and could not care less for the new 5.50 features. Then stay put on 5.00 M33-6″

Exactly, it’s a matter of time before m33 is updated.

i just want to make a pandora so i could hack his psp 1k, but i realized he can still get chickhen r2. hes at exactly 5.03 lol. then ill get him m33 cfw. thanks anyways.
o and DA said there wont be 5.50m33 cfw.

When are they gonna give us 3k users some more updates?
I’m tired of 5.03. D:

Here’s a better translation of the changelog:

What you need:

* A PSP-1000 or PSP-2000 v1 or v2 already running Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-A. DO NOT attempt to install this on a PSP-3000 or any PSP with a TA-088v3 motherboard.

5.50 GEN-B [translated] changes:

* Bug fix: the VSH menu can now be disabled
* Pressing Select can start the recovery, bring up the VSH recovery menu, or do nothing at all (for those who wish to use Remote Play between their PSP and PS3)
* Update via Network (taken from M33)
* * That Evangelion Jo game we told you about; it can be launched & played now
* Pandora (converting the battery to/from the Pandora-state) and Shutdown Device options added to the VSH menu
* Flash1 format option adds a check that prevents a flash1 format if enabled
* Access [remains open] to the PlayStation Store and Remote Play continues working

* Playing Evangelion: Jo without having to patch the ISO is a bit unstable. This is more or less a proof-of-concept to bypass the newly introduced CFW check. Proper details on countering this protection will be released later. For now — very quickly press Triangle & Circle when starting the game. It should work.

Any updates for people who “accidentally” to upgrade to 5.51? Is there a way to downgrade or
pretty much SOL? Does the GTA downgrade still work if there isn’t a easier solution? thanks!

People like sovereignblood needs to shut up.

Question Here: Anyone know how to ScreenShot on ISO/CSO game???

Well. This is great, My PSP is now bricked. I’d say, STICK WITH 5.00M33-6. I have a PSP 2001-TA88v2. So I can’t use my MMS and Pandora to fix it.

I’ve some problems here after i’ve install the latest cfw, i can’t run my gpsp anymore having some error log come oput “Couldn’t start XXXXXXXX” something like that.

having this error log “Error in load/start homehook module” when try to play my gpsp-kai

PLS make FOR PSP 3000 CFW 5.50 PLS

make for PSP-3000’s

wait– do you even need to make a pandora now with chickhen?

Hi everyone, I have had my PSP running the GENＡproject for about 3-4 weeks now (my mind is not so good)) been drinking unfortunately well not too unfortunate. but I like to play the simple games and no need to run to the next piece of firmware. I appreciate all the hard work the guys and gals have put into these things and as a very simple needs man (not to mention simple minded) I am happy at last I can play my 3006 with virtually no problem at all!!!! This crack firmware is only for now. More will have to come. The people who are biatching about the problems they have had, I say do one yourself, if you want to play PS1 PSX games whatever buy a modded machine and deal with it… Sorry peeps, developers keeps doing what your are doing.. YOU ARE FANTASTIC, DC

hey people why my psp saids that the 0.4v and the other things are corrupted files

how do i check if my psp is a PSP-2000’s TA088v2 motherboard or less?

M33 Vs GEN… The Decision is moving closer to GEN Lately. If only there was a way to “Duel Boot” a PSP…
I wonder if Dark Alex’s Timemachine can be rewritten to allow this? CFW / OFW switching would solve a lot of waiting when ever Sony causes more problems.

There once was a attempt to dualboot but come to find out it make the psps clock could only fun a 60 megahertz so thats why it can’t be possible

On a Deep Red Gow PSP 2000. Upgraded to GenB from 5.00 m33-6. I did to regain access to RB:U DLC. POPSloader works without issues for me (wth m33 pops files). I accessed the recovery menu to disable game plugins in advanced settings so that demos and games from the PSN would run. I also activated the VSH menu. I lost nothing and regained some functionnalities.

Help meeeee
my PSP is 1001
running the OFW 5.50
& it says ” file corrupted ”
any 1 can help plz???

So I switched to GEN-B, but even with acsess to the Store, I still can’t play Patapon 2, it says the game could not be started (80010013) Am I doing something wrong, and how can I fix this, thanks.

access vsh menu by presing select button
look for “umd iso mode”
then look for “m33 driver” by pressing left or right
if with cfw 5.00m33-6 below select “sony np9660″ instead
