GENyUS and PSPGen have released their Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 v1 & v2 only. This custom firmware supports official 5.50 features with Popsloader PSX and ISO support. There is also the option to hide your MAC address.
Update: Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A build 4 has been released to fix the PSN network bug. Please download below to patch this bug.
Translated from French:
What’s new compared to 5.02GEN-A?
- Support for functions of official Firmware 5.50
- Functions standby reset and Pandora have been removed
- The plug-in Bubbletune to classify games according to category was deleted
- Patch Slim Colors Bubbletunes was deleted
- The pops is functional (emulation of PS1 games to work)
- The custom firmware 5.50GEN-A supports the launch of ISO and of PS1 games
- Popsloader and all plugins are normally incurred.
- The option “hide your MAC address is always available in the recovery
We are working on a new more complete recovery could be fitted to future updates of our Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A. GENyUS has chosen to implement a more traditional recovery in order not to delay the release anoncée.

when will it come on psp i need to know
June 16, 2009 at 5:06 am
it says courpted data plzz help
June 16, 2009 at 5:36 am
Bricked psp is a broken psp. it will never open again. FOREVER
Oh and before you do this,. You already NEED CFW.. or at least Chick-hen R2 running on your psp. Chickhen works on psp 3000. but your ofw needs to be 5.03. if you have a firmware higher that 5.03. tough luck. :
August 17, 2009 at 10:11 pm
not really it can work if u unbrick it with a pandora battery
June 16, 2009 at 6:29 am
there r things all over the web offering downgrading service u can downgrade ur psp but i would think that that would be stupid to hack a downgraded pSp

June 16, 2009 at 3:25 pm

June 17, 2009 at 6:45 pm
5.03M33 firmwares and below can not play UMD games that require a firmware above 5.03.
June 17, 2009 at 4:15 am

what firmware is better than 5.00m33-6 ??? is this better ???? sorry for the double post forgot to click the notify button.

So far, I’ve found two bugs with this version, even after updating it with the Build 4 patch:
1) The VSHMenu while in XMB is still enabled even if you set it to Disabled in Recovery Mode. This poses some problems with certain games or features that use the Select Button, such as Mainichi Issho Portable (for in-game screenshots, gives an error) and the PSP Camera (to switch between Picture Mode and Movie Recording Mode)
2) The VSHMenu in XMB actually says “5.51″ when in fact the CFW is still 5.50 LOL
I hope we can get some fixes for these hehe
June 17, 2009 at 8:23 pm

June 19, 2009 at 11:49 pm
I think they are taking too long to release a hack for PSP 3000 with a 5.50 OFW. They already have one for PSP 100 and 2000 so they should start making one for the 3000 version instead of making other things.
September 15, 2009 at 5:39 am
If I got paid a dime for every time I saw a comment like this, I’d be a millionaire.
Seriously, if you “think” they should do anything, why don’t you take matters into your own hands and… I dunno, make one yourself?
June 20, 2009 at 1:41 am
does this CFW better than DAX’s 5.00 m33 CFW?
DOES it have a speedhack fjuz like in the 5.00 m33-6?
June 20, 2009 at 3:49 am
God i cant wait till they will release a hack for PSP 3000 running 5.50 OFW. They need to stop working on the old psp versions. They have enough CFW updates/exploits already. Its OFW 5.50 for PSP 3000’s turn to be worked on
September 15, 2009 at 5:41 am
Yeah but think about all of the bricks that they’ve had to go through on the older systems. They’re just safer because they can use a Pandora to unbrick and then try something else. Once a later version of the 2000 or 3000 is bricked, it’s done. There’s NO fix for either of them.
You’ll have to buy a new 3000 model every time you brick one.
But here’s an idea: Why don’t you spend the money to make one yourself?
June 20, 2009 at 6:13 am
can anyone explain what would be the best cfw launcher for the psp 3000 to get? … its funny how we were all waiting at one point for just one release …. now we have like 20 … i have no idea which one would be the best … can anyone shed some light on which one would be good for playing ps1 games, psp backups, etc … thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I’m very new to this. If I somehow get this firmware loaded, does the custom firmware app like the Utimate_PSPTube and Netfront Internet Browser work on GEN-A custom firmware. These uses ChickHEN and M33 firmware?
Guess my question is if I load GEN-A CFW, is it incompatible with M33 CFW? Anyone able to use these apps using GEN-A?
June 21, 2009 at 12:15 am
I have 5.00 M33-6 will this costum firmware make my psp faster and the same or it’s diffrent from M33 kinds

What is the difference between this firmware and 5.00m33-6? should i upgrade to this? what are the benefits. A serious answer would be greatly appreciated.
June 22, 2009 at 1:27 pm

can anyone give the answer why the software corrupted so i can’t used plz hack 5.50
June 23, 2009 at 12:00 am
I used HELLCAT recovery to go from 5.50 GEN-A to CFW 5.0 M33-6. I just didn’t like the fact that most of the plugins won’t work with GEN-A, especially the one I really like is the PSPSTATES (savestates/loadstates). M33 is more popular. I have a PSP Slim 2000 v1, btw.
June 23, 2009 at 2:51 pm
i updated to 5.50 GEN-A but want to go back to CFW 5.00 M33-6, how can i do that???

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY!!! IT’S URGENT!!!
i have a 2004 hackble psp and i want to hack it, but i don’t have the guts for it because:
-i’m afraid of brick it, although i know it’s hackble;
-after installed, can i unninstal it and change it to an Official Sony Firmware?;
-does it acepts true umd games?;
-can i go to PSN or play infrastructer games?, cause it doesn’t let me enter them without updating for an Official Sony Firmware;
-is IT legal?;
-are homebrews legal?
(last two are jus curiosity)
August 17, 2009 at 10:07 pm
dude all that is possible, it is legal n homebrews r legal n yes u can do all that stuff expet go to the PSN STORE =/. but u can ply online, n if u use PBATT N MM its a 99.9% it will work
September 15, 2009 at 5:47 am
- If you brick it you can use a pandora battery to undo the brick and get it back to where it was.
- Yeah, just turn your PSP off.
- Yes.
- Yes, as far as I know.
- No. You’re installing rogue software that isn’t under Sony regulation onto a Sony product, therefore it’s illegal. You also run the risk of ending your warranty if they find out which equals no repairs.
- No, unless it’s a back up. But even then it isn’t really legal at all.

You’ll have to downgrade first. This doesn’t work with OFW 5.50.
Buy a pandora battery and find a tutorial online on how to downgrade it. Otherwise you run the risk of bricking it which I don’t think you want.
