PSP Slim Hacks - PSP Hacks

Same guys over at french site PSP Gen are working on there own custom firmware - 3.95 GEN. Its still being tested. And there is a major drawback, the PSOne emulator doesn’t work on the PSP Fat. Its possible its due to hardware or memory limitations on the PSP-1000’s. The only change I can see at the moment is the the recovery menu now accessed via Select button instead of Right shoulder button trigger now.

Best wait for Dark Alex’s Custom Firmware 4.00 I think….
