Custom Firmware 550 MHU

Xenogears and Becus25 have been busy, releasing their own 5.50 Custom firmware for the masses called Custom Firmware 5.50 MHU. While I’m not sure of the changes in this new CFW vs 5.50 GEN-A. If you have some free time why not give it a go and report the changes to us? Note this is for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models only with TA-088v2 or less motherboards. Don’t try this on a TA-088v3+ or PSP-3000 or you’ll brick your PSP.

How to install this:

Copy to the folder; UPDATE” in your Memory Stick in ” X: /PSP/GAME/” Download Official Firmware 5.50 and copy it to the UPDATE folder (” X: /PSP/GAME/UPDATE”) and rename it to ” SCE.PBP”

PSPGen have just posted that their Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B has been delayed up to 24 hours from release due to the discovery of a few minor bugs in the final moments before its release. Apparently pressing select for the VSH or recovery menu, nothing happening… So a minor sent back. 5.50 GEN-B should be out in less that 24 hours. We’ll keep you posted.

PS Store blocked in M33 Custom Firmware

First the Anti-Custom Firmware game Evangelion: Jo, now this. As Sony has blocked Playstation Store access from M33 Custom Firmware. If you try to login to the PSN Store you’ll get this prompt

“A system software update for the PSP system is required. For update methods, refer to the instructions for the PSP system.”

And no, not even a version spoof can trick the system. PSN is out of bounds now on M33 CFW, but 5.50 GEN Custom Firmware still works. We say still, as were certain that Sony will also be blocking this out asap.

Personally I find this move to be unusual of Sony, why? Well they just blocked out future potential PSN downloads and $$$ / profits for Sony and its game developers. Silly indeed….. I’m sure many of us downloaded FFVII via the PSN Network.

Evangelion: Jo - The first anti Custom Firmware game?

PSPGen have posted that a new Japanese game, called Evangelion: Jo scans your RAM and detects if you have any type of custom firmware or not. If it detects you have custom firmware. The game will freeze displaying the screen above with some lovely classical musicplayed in the background. It also doesn’t seem that you could bypass this check, since its scanning the RAM….

So Sony have taken things a step further with Anti Custom Firmware games.

Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A on its way...

EDIT: CFW 5.03 GEN-A is out !!, now that didn’t take long did it. Get it here.

PSPGen have posted a FAQ for their soon to be released Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A for Hen, which by the way was meant to be released about an hour ago…. I guess we will see it today? (6th of June) They have commented that its not fake, will not cause a brick and that installation is easy. You just select what PSP model you have either a PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 and the installer takes care of the rest.

We hope PSPGen can at least release this today, as I’m sure we’re all growing tired of seeing these hyped up releases only to be followed by delays.

Here is the FAQ PSPGen have posted, again this is translated from French into English.

Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A is for HEN is ready but due to a personal concern, a MaGiXieN absent this afternoon. This delays the launch of a few hours.

Enjoying the time we give some details:

* The Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A is not a fake
We thought that it was needless to say but never PSPGEN announced an exclusive without this happen. We are often late because we have a real life that interferes with the site, but we always kept our commitments.

* No risk of brick in normal use
Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A can not brick your console during the iinstallation. Understand that the Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A adds the files it needs but does not those of the official firmware 5.03.
For against, once installed, as it is a Custom Firmware, you have access to the flash0 of your console. Note that on a PSP-3000 (or PSP-2000 v3), DO NOT TOUCH THE FLASH0 since editing a file of official firmware 5.03 resulted in a brick IRREPARABLE.

* Will it put an unofficial theme
NOT. the unofficial themes are actually files that replace the firmware in the flash of your console. As mentioned above, this operation is prohibited on PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 lest its brick PSP definitively because no pandora battery for the PSP is planned

* The Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A can be installed on all the PSP?
It runs on all PSP-2000 and PSP-3000. It has no relevance on the PSP-1000 that can install Custom Firmware 5.02GEN-A through our tutorial Spend your PSP 1000 and 2000 v1 or v2 in custom firmware with ChickHEN

* The Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A need for HEN he reactivation in the event of termination of the console?
YES but not a relocation. Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A is a real but the Custom Firmware PSP-3000 (and PSP-2000V3) may not start, ignition, a modified firmware. It must pass through the chickHEN R2 Dave then run the program to launch (or installs the first time) Custom Firmware itself. Once launched, the PSP Custom Firmware is the same as her sisters flashées. Only the launch mode is different.

* Is there a Recovery Mode?
YES, the 5.02GEN-A has been patched to run on the PSP-3000. It allows you to change the majority of the usual (Example: The deletion of coldboot example is useless since the PSP does not start in Custom firmware). Note that we encounter some problems with this recovery in VSH and he will probably wait for a patch to correct to be 100% functional. Note that the GEN VSH MENU works, it very well.

* Is there a kit for SDC Custom Firmware for 5.03GEN-A HEN?
No. PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 motherboards have prevented the use of such a system. Everything is possible but in this case the probability of such a system is really out very low.

* How to Custom Firmware installs 5.03GEN for HEN-A?
At the base is a windows application (sorry for the others) that allows you to patch the Custom Firmware 5.02GEN-A to make it compatible with the PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 V3 before copying the files needed to install on the Memory Stick of the PSP.
