Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-C / XGen Installer for 5.50 GEN-C Released

Share

GENyUS and PSPGEN have released Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-C. While nothing is new in this custom firmware from Sony. 5.50 GEN-C update is a substantial move forward. As it now lets users play back up UMD’s that require firmware 5.55 or 6.00 without patching the eboot.

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.

      I would imagine not as there has not been any substatial changes and it doesnt say, figure it would be in the info if it did.
      As much as I would like a permenant solution on my 3k now with 5.03 patcher I can play every game I can play on my phat on 5.55 GEN C as I can on my 3k at 5.03 GEN-A so not sure why everyone still goes on about 3k being unhackable and needing 5.55, as far as playing backups anyways (pretty much all I do on my psp other than a little remote play every now and then)

      You ever heard of the PSP 2000 a.k.a. Slim? Still exactly the same size and weight as your 3000, except hackable. I would trade it in and get one.

  • ko160

    So to play 6.10 games all we have to do is install 5.50 GEN-C.

  • quickstrike

    I installed it, but none of my games load :-(

    …It just says, “Game cannot be started”

    • mr kennedy

      Me too so downgrade back to gen-b2, plus will only change when psn is working again
      :)

  • lord2828

    i’ll just stick to gen-b2

    i hate this firmware it ruined my psp

    because when i install it successfully it just take me up on the soundboot of my psp

    then theres no option i just see the background and the time

    and it also ruined my MS

    please Team GEN make this firmware usable

  • Carlos

    Wait, I don’t get it. What I”m I supposed to do with this. I have GEN-B2

    • abcguy10

      Just download the update,and run it from your GAME folder. :)

      It works for me!

      • Carlos

        Thx, it worked.

  • Pingback: cfw 5.00 m33-6 to cfw 5.50 GEN-C - PSP Slim Hacks - PSP Forums

  • lord2828

    In My Opinion Don’t update your firmware to GEN-C

    just stick to GEN-B2

    for what reason here’s mine

    first off all

    when it succesfully installed it

    it will just freeze on the xmb

    that will make people that they are commit some mistakes

    but there is a solution for that go to recovery mode advanced then format flash 1 and reset settings

    that would make up fine

    another thing some iso and cso is not playable

    i think this GEN-C is just a beta

    so many bugs

    i’ll just stick on GEN-B2

    • ychen

      I’d also like to add something else to the bug list~!!
      Another problem found was that all my themes disappeared!!
      The theme files are still there but the psp doesn’t read it. Anyone else having the same problem???
      I have a PSP-1000 btw

  • PSP187

    if you have bricked your psp while you did this like i did all you d=need to do is go into recovery mode and select the format flash1 and reset settings option

  • GameGuysProjects

    anyone get soul calibur to work? Everytime I play it and go into a battle it crashes. I think I’m going to downgrade back to 5.50 GEN-B

  • kevinlayne

    Could not get Soul Cailber to work either…….REMEMBER PEOPLE when upgrading from 5.50 B to C…do the install, take the shutdown option and then go into recovery menu and format flash1…should be good…

  • RetroGamerX3

    Well this is the basic summary…..

    Problems: Freezes at startup, semibricks psp, CSOs dont work, ppl having problems with M33 drive, WiFi donesnt work with WPA encyption, some games fail to boot, the list goes on..lol

    Solution: I guess just stick with 5.50 GEN-B2 or even 5.00 M33-6 for M33 fans

    Thanks alot to the Yoshihiro and Team DAX for this release…I hope to see 5.50 GEN-C2 real soon.

  • Dragonman3000

    Goodbye M33
    Welcome GEN-C

    • ychen

      Amen to that~!! :-P

  • hayesr28

    anybody gotta solution gen-c bricked my psp i see a few other people have had the same problem i cant get into recovery mode and i dont have a pandora on hand any body got a solution

  • jok3r0314

    i dont have a problem everything is running except the pandora option in the vsh menu does anyone have the same problem? does restoring the flash 1 fix this?

  • lord2828

    Suggestion

    Stick To GEN-B2

    Until ALL BUGS IN GEN-C is fixed

    • ychen

      Just adding someting else to your suggestion sirrrr~~~

      People with a PSP-1000 upgrade to GEN-C, don’t doubt because EVERYTHING works fine!!
      Others with a PSP-2000-3000, stick to GEN-B2 like lord2828 suggested….

  • jok3r0314

    cant get my imported copy of the jap fma game to run does anyone know of a fix?

  • St3aLtH iZ PrO

    this semi-bricked my psp so i used hellcats recovery flasher to downgrade to fw 5.00 m33 and its still semi-bricked. last time i did that it fixed it and i tried reinstalling 5.50 gen-c but it says “getting files from UPDATER” or something like that and then it shuts off.

    any ideas?

  • PSPMadness

    Damn, And I was wxited about this for my PSP 3000

    • mDS64

      The 3000 can’t be hacked unless you have the ability to change the mother board-which would make it pointless.
      Heard of CFW enabler?

      Use it-and stop asking about 3000 hacks-seriously you guys should do some research first before buying a console that you want to hack…
      I spent 4 weeks trying to track down a psp 200o that was hackable-THAT IS DEDICATION!
      And screw ebay-most sellers don’t even know about the firmware!
