Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D is coming tomorrow according to PSPGEN.com’s post just made about 15 minutes ago. They have commented that all the bugs present in the cursed 5.50 GEN-C release have been fixed. And it can play firmware 5.55, 6.00 and 6.10 games work without any eboot patching with Game Encrypter needed. Stay tuned to us and we’ll have the download as soon as its released, around 8pm GMT +1 October 21st. Our alarm clock is set!
From PSPGen.com
Whats in this new release ?
- 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.
Known bugs :
- IR Shell can’t no longer launch ISOs, but a patch is ready and will be released as soon as possible
- Video playback 480x272 in trouble but a fix is being studied
- Option to accelerate the reading of MS is going to be ported to 5.50GEN
If you get a blackscreen when you start the installer, that’s because you are in 5.50 GEN-B(1) and not in 5.50 GEN-B2. So update to B2, and install the custom firmware 5.50 GEN-D.

Gen-c seems like it was rushed a little.

October 20, 2009 at 12:39 pm
All PSP’s that will take cfw……….
October 20, 2009 at 1:23 pm
All (CFW READY) PSP’s
October 20, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Nice!!!
October 20, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Wonder if CXMB will work this time around…
October 20, 2009 at 1:22 pm
It said all features of 5.550 B2, so it should, keep hoping and maybe it will
October 20, 2009 at 2:12 pm
CXMB works fine for me on GEN-D. I just use the modded version for GEN-A
October 20, 2009 at 2:18 pm
er GEN-C lol
October 20, 2009 at 2:33 pm
i was gonna say… how did you get ahold of gen-d already >>
October 20, 2009 at 12:45 pm
@psp fan
even 3000?
October 20, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Nah not the PSP-3000 or TA-088v3 PSP-2000
October 20, 2009 at 2:24 pm
U said all psp’s above ¬_¬ that means psp 3000 aswell
erm how comes the youtube poster got a psp 3000 Radiant red ( the microphone bits which a psp 1000,2000 dont have )
how is that even possible and how do u do that???
October 20, 2009 at 6:09 pm
@r88ney-don’t believe youtube-most pics and vids are bs designed to brick psp’s or fool gulibly people-you simple cannot fully hack a 3000 or unhackable psp unless your on 5.03 and use chickHEN
October 20, 2009 at 6:21 pm
@mDS64
you realize we’ve already answered his question, AND you’re pretty much retardedly going into a conspiracy theory for no reason right? no, youtube videos are NOT designed to brick your psp, unless someones a real asshole or really stupid, and there are a lot of stupid people, but most of them just plagiarize other peoples tutorials. so its kinda hard to fuck up. really, go take your theories and paranoia somewhere else
October 20, 2009 at 12:47 pm
i hope this time wont brick my psp slim
October 20, 2009 at 2:33 pm
same thing happened to me…
October 20, 2009 at 3:05 pm
if you bricked it completely you fail.
October 20, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Awesome, hopefully GEN-D is better. =D
I just hope that all my plugins work with GEN-D. They should, I mean it’s still a 5.50 core, right? CXMB, Ultimate VSH Menu, CWCheat, Game Categories v7, and Hold+ are the ones I have. If they all work, I’m sold immediately. Hopefully this doesn’t semi-brick if you have a custom theme installed (via CXMB, I assume).
October 20, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Honestly if they can make it so plugin’s work properly, i’ll be more than happy to swtich to GEN i wish i had a spare PSP to test things on.. but im not that rich (i have NO job, and NO money). So if anyone could let me know that’d be cool too. but for now, i like 5.00 M33-6. and NO i am NOT a raving fanboy, i do like M33, but simply because i cant run certain things on GEN that i wanted.
October 20, 2009 at 2:20 pm
*smacks himself*
I forgot that the M33 version only works on PHAT as well. Forget what I said. But anyways all the homebrew I ran on M33 works fine on GEN.
If Dark Alex releases a 6.xx M33 then I’m switching back for sure.
October 20, 2009 at 2:22 pm
i couldnt get the one emulator i had most of my games on to work (SNES) and a few random homebrew apps failed, all of them because a of failure to load prx’s
October 20, 2009 at 6:05 pm
@ hasteroth
homebrew I ran on M33 works fine on GEN.
>>>thats bec.. incase you didnt notice
Gen Team– find a way to include Leda Legacy of DAX for m33 inside Gen-B2 patch
October 20, 2009 at 3:51 pm
So far, any plugin (besides CXMB) for M33 I’ve seen works for GEN without modification, so I don’t see where people think plugins are incompatible. And as for CXMB, one was made for GEN, so you can’t complain that plugins have compatibility issues.
October 20, 2009 at 3:53 pm
I couldnt get half of mine to work. Like i said, my emulator wouldnt run because plugins would fail, a few of my plugins from recovery menu didnt work, and about half my homebrew didnt work because “xxxxxxx.prx fail to intilize properly”. so yes, i can complain
October 20, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Were those custom plugins that failed to initialize properly, or system plugins? If they were system plugins, you definitely got a bad flash, as I’ve never had a single homebrew give me a prx fail to initialize properly error, and I use quite a few emulators and apps.
October 20, 2009 at 4:12 pm
if by custom plugins you mean things people made and put on here, then custom. im talking things like CWcheat and remotejoy lite,hell i couldnt even use hellcat’s recovery flasher to go back to M33 when i found out things wouldnt work, (lucky me there was another way). but yea, i’ve had a bunch of PRX fails with homebrew stuff, and i know im not the only one, i’ve read all over about GEN not running plugins properly, including a few times on this site.
October 20, 2009 at 4:46 pm
If you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me which plugins failed to load for which homebrew? I wanna see if I can re-create these load failures on my own PSP. CWCheat’s never failed me, and I don’t use RemoteJoy, so I wouldn’t mind figuring out where plugins fail.
October 20, 2009 at 4:52 pm
in all honesty, i cant remember any of the specific plugin’s cause i did it a while back, and wasnt taking notes (not really hardcore into the mod/CFW scene) so i dont remember any plugin names, i just remember the plugins like cwcheats wasnt working for me (that was probably just my psp though) and remote joy, and my snes and nes emulators, and i couldnt use hellcats recovery flasher to go back to 5.00 m33, other than that, i dont remember anything useful…
October 20, 2009 at 5:24 pm
My guess is that it could have been an error on your part, or on using an outdated version of a plugin. Either way, GEN’s plugin support is incredible nowadays; out of the plugins you mentioned, CWCheat has never failed me once.
October 20, 2009 at 2:25 pm
even 300 with chickhen?
October 20, 2009 at 3:02 pm
dude read the other comments before you post (almost as bad people posting on homebrew pages saying “this doesn’t work!”, etc. when they don’t even have CFW installed.)
2 things
1. there is no such thing as PSP 300 it’s 3000
2. PSPFan said “Nah not the PSP-3000 or TA-088v3 PSP-2000″
October 20, 2009 at 2:26 pm
how comes in the video post is shows psp 3000 radiant red ( got the microphone bits )
and how is he able to run GEN D on it???
please i need a answer = )
would be really helpful = )
October 20, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Were do you see the microphone? There is not hole to the left of PSP-logo.
October 20, 2009 at 2:49 pm
no*
October 20, 2009 at 3:01 pm
I think that’s the PSP 2000, God of War edition. (Deep red)
October 20, 2009 at 3:03 pm
THat’s not a Radiant Red PSP 3000
There is no microphone
It’s a Deep Red PSP Slim
Which means it’s a 2000
October 20, 2009 at 3:06 pm
well they shouldnt of said it’ll work on all psp’s… kinda stupid of them to say that because people dont spend the time they should researching this stuff its only gonna work on psp 1k’s and 2k’s because you still need gen b-2 to run this and 1k’s and 2k’s are they only systems that can run gen b-2 so yea there ya go c’mon people use some common sence if you have a psp 3k you should of just stayed with 5.00 or 5.03 M33-6 or GEN-A both work great on mine
October 20, 2009 at 3:31 pm
fr3sh…hope psn works and ty gen
October 20, 2009 at 3:39 pm
thats good to know gen-c was terrible!
October 20, 2009 at 3:42 pm
its cool u can speed up ms like in m33-6
October 20, 2009 at 4:26 pm
CXMB worked for me on c, quite odd.
October 20, 2009 at 4:41 pm
awsome gen-c was ok but some things when bad but thxs and it was quick
October 20, 2009 at 6:04 pm
I’m still on m33. Do I need to upgrade to Gen B2 then go to D or can I to Gen D straight ?
October 20, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Read the info above, it says you have to be on GEN-B2 to install GEN D, if it doesnt work on GEN B1 then I would assume it doesnt work straight from m33.
October 20, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Sorry misread your question, but still need to go to GEN B2 before going to GEN D.
October 20, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Well I have 2 psp’s one with cfw 5.00m33-6 and other one with cfwe 5.03m33-6 and honestly I believe cfwe 5.03m33-6 is better….it runs more smoothly and all the games work on it so there’s no fuss there….the only problem that people think is to load chickHEN every time but its so quick now that a few seconds is not that big of a deal anymore….so in essence I still prefer the TA-088v3
October 20, 2009 at 6:32 pm
@ PSPFan
I suspect you are running one of the GEN (s) right now, do you know if a plugin such as CWCheat will load up on GEN-D I am running 5.00m33 -6 and this is the only reason I have yet to head over to GEN. I have a 2k and a Go.
October 20, 2009 at 6:40 pm
guys just stick to 5.00m33-6..
you won’t loose a thing why don’t you wait for a stable update before you get gen-d..
October 21, 2009 at 1:56 am
Yeah right. Just stick with m33. Since you just need a little effort for patching 5.XX games to work on you.
October 20, 2009 at 6:44 pm
5.50 GEN-E should focus on psp 3000 and psn support. just a suggestion………….
October 20, 2009 at 6:50 pm
are you serious? you do realize that it isnt the software thats an issue here, its the hardware, anything above 5.03 is screwed yea, but the thing is, its becauser there’s no way to put CFW on the psp because the motherboard wont let you. so you’re not going to see CFW for the 3k (besides the CFWE) until they figure out a way to put it ON there, stop telling the guys who give you free stuff to do it better
October 20, 2009 at 9:39 pm
nice! Will this work on my PSP3000? *dodge flame*
Hyuk hyuk. All joking aside, it looks like i’m gonna have to stick to my PSP PHAT for a while longer if i wanna try out that MGS: Peace Walker demo. If all else fails and Peace Walker reaches with still no PSP3000 CFW solutions in site… i may go OFW on its ass.
oh and btw, lets stop the hate pple. I don’t see why there’s so much anger towards PSP3000 questions. Yes, these questions have been answered many times before (from myself included), and yes it should be clear as day that there are no solutions other than ChickHEN at the moment for the 3000. But there’s no need to get nasty about it.
In every community, there will be noobs. people who are just starting to get a grip on the terminology and how things work. Everyone starts from somewhere. if you don’t like the questions, just don’t answer.
Relax people. Nothing to get upset about is all i’m saying.
PEACE.
October 21, 2009 at 1:54 am
TA-88v3 PSP2000 and PSP3000 with ofw 5.5x is still out of luck. XD
October 20, 2009 at 10:21 pm
“Possibility to connect at the Playstation Store via MEDIAGO, to retrieve game and goodies without having to install Fake USB or other complicated stuff.”
I had my fakeusb plugin disabled and could still access PSN via Mediago.
October 20, 2009 at 11:34 pm
can i turn ofw 6.1 back 2 cfw? i used to have cfw 5.00m33-6.then i accidentally upgraded it into ofw 6.1.do i have to wait till a new cfw 6.XX something or i can switch it back to cfw like normal?if i can..how?
October 21, 2009 at 1:48 am
Since you came from a 5.00m33-6 custom firmware, that means that you have a fully hackable psp. Just use a pandora and a magic memstick to get your psp back to cfw. Hope this help you.
October 21, 2009 at 2:06 am
But what about PSN ? Because i already downoload it says that i must update, and also it downloaded so much crap making my pc slower.
October 21, 2009 at 2:10 am
Hello! I have a psp -2004 with OFW 5.51 installed. Can i install the new CFW 5.50 GEN-D.
October 21, 2009 at 2:37 am
Video playback 480×272 in trouble but a fix is being studied…holy hell!
October 21, 2009 at 3:38 am
plz work for psp 3000 5.50 version or go with downgrader pzzzzzzzzz…and is there any voice recorder emulator or firmware for psp 3000………..?
October 21, 2009 at 3:43 am
IT’S A PSP 2000 since the SONY logo is on the right
October 21, 2009 at 4:02 am
HOPING THIS GEN-D Firmware To Be Succesfull not like GEN-C
Go Team GEN
October 21, 2009 at 4:12 am
if this wont work on my psp2000 TA-088v3, how am i supposed to play Gran Turismo for example? I’ve got a little problems with patching the EBOOT.BIN. I’ve downloaded the ISO file from a torrent, Maybe that’s the reason i cant patch it? Please i need a solution for playing Gran Turismo. I have a psp2000 with TA-088v3 motherboard running CFWE 3.60 on ChickhenR2.
October 21, 2009 at 4:35 am
i’ll wait this later and try to see what comments
and if it’s good i’ll upgrade my psp
October 21, 2009 at 5:48 am
huh i wonder if they make a cfwe that runs chickhen first and installs the firmware permanatly although thats likly not to happen caus o de moderbord
October 21, 2009 at 5:48 am

October 21, 2009 at 10:44 am
Everone says only 5.50gen is blocked off to the PSN store, i think there isn’t way to restore it. Are u guys sure that only 5.50gen(m33 too) is blocked off but not al of the 5.xx’s mabie you have to be in 6.0 to use. ??! duh
October 21, 2009 at 11:17 am
are they gonna hold off the release of this due to testing of the 480×272 AVC VideoPlayback
October 21, 2009 at 11:42 am
Aw… A few months back I couldn’t wait for a 5.50 firmware and I bought Disgaea 2 PSP and upgraded it…
Didn’t play on my psp that much now anyways and forgot what firmware that game came with.
Wonder if this firmware can work on my psp3000….
October 21, 2009 at 11:43 am
Dang… I did a little search, and My PSP is firmware 5.55….
October 21, 2009 at 11:49 am
Lol… I think I should sell my psp and my games for enough money to buy a ps3… I don’t even play it that much now…
October 20, 2009 at 7:59 pm
no i didn’t notice, since I never used GEN-B2.
I went from 5.00M33-6 to 5.50GEN-A for about five minutes and upgraded to GEN-C
ALso I just realized I read the comment he posted wrong. I read it as programs not plugins.
Yeah there are plenty of plugins that aren’t compatible with GEN but that’s cause they were designed for M33
