PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-C Released

Submitted by greg; October 18, 2009

Update: Ok, so 5.50 GEN-C is cursed... GENyUS and Yoshihiro are working to get GEN-D out the door. Don't turn that dial; stick around.

Update: Way too many problems... Download pulled. 5.50 GEN-C2 coming soon.

My PSP just finished flashing Yoshihiro's 5.50 GEN-C... Sadly PlayStation Store access remains blocked. Otherwise, it is what it is... Play 5.55+ required games without the tedious prerequisites -- decrypting, patching, rebuilding... You know.

Only install 5.50 GEN-C on PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models. Do not install on a PSP-3000 or any PSP with a TA-88V3 board. Note: If the XMB freezes after installing this update, boot (holding R-Trigger) into the recovery console and browse to Advanced -> Format flash1 and reset settings. Another note: Personally, I don't recommend updating just yet... Refer to the comments to see what I mean. Although, you can be a sport and install it, report bugs you encounter, and Pandora back afterward. Expect a patch or two soon as well as an option to speed up memory stick access.

I installed GEN-C on my psp1002 with TA82 mobo. Pressed circle to shutdown, and when I turned it back on it froze. Dunno what is up with that??? So I went and did what ppl are saying to do, format flash 1 and reset settings, then it worked. My buttons have been swapped around from what I am used to with previous cfw's, but no biggy. Next I inserted a UMD, Rugby League Challenge(AUS)w hich needs 5.55 firmware, and it works fine. My iso's are still working and all plugins still working too.

# jakethebigsnake 2009-10-18 21:12

hmm won't load half my games ... . :(

# PsP1002-TA82 2009-10-18 21:24

correction..... some of my iso's are working and some aren't.... looks like I'm going back to 5.50gen-b2..... :(

# dean 2009-10-18 21:26

I had 5.50gen-b and my cso backups worked fine. I updated to gen-c and now the games don't run. tried to format flash and resent settings but still no go. i have a fat 1001 ta08 board

# nyr2k2 2009-10-18 21:27

God of War (US), Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins (US) and FF: Dissidia (US)will not boot for me, on any driver. Anyone else wanna give it a shot?

# HackerHawk 2009-10-18 21:30

For everyone who is having the freezing XMB just shut down the PSP and hold the right trigger to enter the recovery menu, then from there go into "Advanced" and select the "Format flash1 and reset settings" and it should work perfect! I had to do it, so I'm guessing it's somewhat standard.

I am having a very different problem though, when I try to connect to the internet, I get a "A connection error has occurred. The key information exchange timed out." error message. I have a 100% signal strength, and my WPA Key is for sure correct.

Try you're wireless and see if you have the same issue, and if anyone has any advise on how to fix this that would be great! :)

# devitek 2009-10-18 21:31

You guys do understand that Yoshihiro made this, and that he needs us to basically beta test it for him, right? If there are issues, and you read the thread and see that your issue has already been mentioned and addressed, there isn't a reason to keep repeating it.

That being said, if your CSO/ISO won't load, try one of the other drivers. If M33 won't work, try the Sony one, and so on. Post your results, and then Yoshihiro can see what issues are coming up and address them in GEN-C2, or whatever he calls it.

I'm just thrilled to see that someone is trying to pick up where others have left off and that there IS a new firmware. The firmware scene has been far too sparse as of late. I'll install this later tonight, definitely.

Thanks for your hard work on this, Yoshihiro!

# Deklan 2009-10-18 21:31

on iRShell "No disc inserted"

# HackerHawk 2009-10-18 21:35

Agreed.

# dean 2009-10-18 21:37

I agree to, yoshihiro did work hard and we all appreciate it. thank you!

# Lakrymist 2009-10-18 21:38

Thanx Yoshiro !!!!! Keep Hope ALivE People.

# philippecr 2009-10-18 21:40

people... if u cannot open ur own iso and cso, please check if ur PSP is on UMD M33 driver. :)

# de 2009-10-18 21:41

internet don't work..

# Dave 2009-10-18 21:45

I'll stick with m33.

Its really good to see new custom firmware being made though. Great job, but idky ppl r saying ISO loaders don't work.

# JC 2009-10-18 21:47

Works just fine for me. Good job Team GEN.

# RetroGamerX3 2009-10-18 21:48

WiFi Internet works perfect on my psp and i am running 5.50 GEN-C.

# nyr2k2 2009-10-18 21:48

Did you read my post above, where I stated that a few games I tested will not work on ANY driver?

# HackerHawk 2009-10-18 21:51

Thanks for the feedback! Any ideas on what it might been then? I'm 99% sure that it isn't my modem or router, because they worked perfect with my PSP on 5.50 GEN-B2, so it must be something wrong with the PSP itself.

# RetroGamerX3 2009-10-18 21:57

Final Fantasy Dissidia (US) booted fine with M33 driver. Let me try God of War........

# mark 2009-10-18 22:01

ahh not that im not thankful but please roll in 6.10m33/gen !

# foxdog 2009-10-18 22:02

wow... their is so many people trying to download this right now that its taking me 1 hour to download it. ive never had a file that is 27 mb take an hour

# leecherman 2009-10-18 22:03

hello
can i play GBA & GB & Nintendo 64 & PSX & SNES Emulator on this GEN ?
I’m using M33 and all this works Good And i want to update to Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-C
please anyone inform me
thanks

# Juan 2009-10-18 22:08

Cant Run cso

# fergy 2009-10-18 22:12

works like a charm thanks dude love it

# RetroGamerX3 2009-10-18 22:14

yea u know what, i just found out that 5.50 GEN-C cannot connect to an access point with WPA encryption.
It can only connect when theres no encryption at all (like mine) or when its a WEP encryption.
I have no idea why that is, but it seems that only GEN-C has this problem.
I got this info from user "mallinersha" on http://pspupdates.qj.net/PSP-H...

# HackerHawk 2009-10-18 22:17

Great find!!! I really love the effort and time put into this, but a PSP without internet and what appears to be a bunch of bugs just isn't ready to be released yet. I understand that he is pretty much beta testing on us , I just wish he would have called it a beta release instead of a official GEN-C so we could all charge our Pandora batteries while we are installing it.

# RetroGamerX3 2009-10-18 22:20

ok well i tried God of War (US) and it also boots up fine with M33 drive. Quick Question: Are you trying to run CSO\'s or ISO\'s?? The reason I ask is because some people are saying that GEN-C isnt working with CSOs for some reason and when I ran mine they were both ISO\'s. So try converting them with UMDGen, hope this helps.

# Paradigm 2009-10-18 22:23

Greg. Team GEN is working out the bugs as we speak.
Not to mention that they promised a speed-up memory stick access option.
This is no doubt a beta release.
On pspgen, they say they know about the bugs, and they said they're working in a speed up ms option.

# Andrew Bower 2009-10-18 22:27

My internet does not connect either after the GEN-B2 to GEN-C update. I am using WPA encryption.

# Hazel 2009-10-18 22:31

Will this enable me to play the UMD I bought which requires 5.55? I'm talking about the UMD, not ISO.

# HackerHawk 2009-10-18 22:35

Yes, in theory it should, but after all the bugs you see above I wouldn't say for sure. It is made to, but depending on your game I guess it might not. :/

# Prateek dwivedi 2009-10-18 22:37

Just came back to 5.5 gen b 2 after came to know it cannot run cso.
Akatsuki worked fine in iso but failed in cso.
Nonetheless, a great release.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers

# applem 2009-10-18 22:46

ya same internet times out

# Pho6oZ 2009-10-18 22:51

in the psp gen page(oficial for gen firmwares) says that first you have to format flash 1, second you have to format your ms, third you always use sony np9660 driver for iso, and last it recomends to install the ultimate vsh menu for it

thats says the tutorial so you try it

# potl 2009-10-18 22:52

worked fine for me, remember after updating to change your driver to sony or m-33, i would wager that's the problem for most of you.

# Yuri 2009-10-18 22:56

I DL it and tryed to run tales of vs but i just get a black screen...... help ???

# Yuri 2009-10-18 22:57

like i updated and it never froze, after the psp screen it just keeps the black screen

# Cabal 2009-10-18 22:58

Nope, I tried every UMD driver to no avail.

# Greg Little 2009-10-18 23:06

Everyone!. Try going to the Recovery Menu > Configuration > Advanced configuration and make sure that Plain Modules and Execute BOOT.Bin are both disabled

# D3a7hD3al3r 2009-10-18 23:08

Yeah for some reason cso files dont work either

# RetroGamerX3 2009-10-18 23:14

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.

# Kamanashi 2009-10-18 23:15

What kind of PSP are you using? I didn't have to reformat Flash1 and I am using a PSP-1000

# Yuri 2009-10-18 23:15

yah there both disabled

# VanFinale 2009-10-18 23:17

Well I got pretty much everything working if you set to sony's no umd driver it works fine, never used CSO's so I can't test that. However when you install this it resets all your CFW configuration settings so you have to put all those back to what they were then see what doesn't work.

# Haruka 2009-10-18 23:29

Here, my games work.
either in iso or cso

# john360 2009-10-18 23:30

thanks yoshihiro...but i think i will stay on 5.50genb2 ...5.50genc might have problems... i hope you fix it XD

# Haruka 2009-10-18 23:31

now I can play the demo of metal gear peace walker xD

# numba1hit 2009-10-18 23:36

Help, I installed this and now my psp want boot to the xbm menu

it shows the battery and date but not the icons.

I also can get into recovery mode too.

help!!

# Dean Gullberry 2009-10-18 23:38

Thanks to all for being guinea pigs on this one. I will just stay with B until a re-release comes... and getting DA's memory stick speedup option will be a nice bonus too.

# Greg Little 2009-10-18 23:39

Note: If the XMB freezes after installing this update, boot (holding R-Trigger) into the recovery console and browse to Advanced -> Format flash1 and reset settings.

# numba1hit 2009-10-18 23:42

nevermind I did a flash(as stated above) in advance> flash01 and reset.

This is risky business.

# Mac2468 2009-10-18 23:49

I get that in Gen-B, so I doubt it's the update.

# 72ED777AN 2009-10-19 00:13

thank you dude i was freaking out

# sad : ( 2009-10-19 00:16

ta-088v3 are left in the dust..bummer.

# Jaryth000 2009-10-19 00:24

They still did not update the readme? XD I remember this from last time. Its all good.

# Greg Little 2009-10-19 00:26

HaHa!

# al91 2009-10-19 01:16

resistance retribution and guilty gear xx accel core plus doesnt work on 5.50 gen-c

# phox 2009-10-19 01:43

heh yeah i'll just stick with 5.00 m33 i've always seen GEN as a pos. and b-4 someone pulls a "have you even tried to make a cfw" remark my answer is yes i have did i let the whole world know about it no y? i don't like to b in the shoes dax and team gen are in with ppl sending msges everywhere that person is to try to get the 1st on the news. anyhoo there's my 2 cents.

# Fresh Bryce 2009-10-19 01:53

Few of my older games don't work on this. Guess I'll be going back to the previous CFW.

# Gripless 2009-10-19 01:55

I was having the same issue. When I went to my home betwork I tried turning off the need to use a password and set my internet signal to unsecured with no password, the PSP had no problem connecting then. Still don't have a really good solution though.

# rynryouko 2009-10-19 02:16

If I want to revert back to B2, how do i undo gen-c?

# Light 2009-10-19 02:21

lol... disappointing isn't it?
i wasn't thrilled by this update too. i was expecting team GENyus would release 6.10GEN (can u SenseMe~?)

# alarm99 2009-10-19 02:30

Do all the homebrews work or is it like gen-a motherfuckers

# Light 2009-10-19 02:34

wouldn't it be much great to see a 6.10GEN?! LOL
ugh~ can't they work on it already...
do we need to wait 2 yrs b4 a cfw 6.10 shows up?

# Zeroneo 2009-10-19 02:40

With a Pandora Battery

# Bucek 2009-10-19 03:00

# P-Diddy 2009-10-19 05:11

Just installed onto my PSP 2000, and tried running soul calibur, and while loading the battle it froze then rebooted, it has done this a few times.

# Greg Little 2009-10-19 05:25

Wow really? Man, Screw this Gen-C..Img going back to B-2 aswell..I mean, Why release this (Even as a beta) If it cant even come close to fulfilling its purpose, Which is playing 5.55+ Games.?

# Deklan 2009-10-19 06:12

Same here guys, ugh time to downgrade

# Deklan 2009-10-19 06:25

OK guys I solved my problems, I had been changing my UMD Driver on my Ultimate VSH Menu, I changed it in Recovery, working now. Dumbass me. That might be your problems.

# say 2009-10-19 06:54

# Greg Little 2009-10-19 07:25

No need for a PSP-GO now is there?

# Namzy 2009-10-19 07:26

With all these bugs, wont be upgrading till nxt release, come on gen you can do it. As for DAX, some still believe you r coming back......I dont

# Leoplureodon 2009-10-19 07:36

Wifi wasn't working for me at first until I reset flash1. Then games wouldn't boot until OE driver was selected. Now, everything runs perfect :)

# philippecr 2009-10-19 07:47

it seems tat is not a stable release... Let's wait for the next one?

# Lunatik 2009-10-19 08:14

psn dont work after i sign in it gives me error (80109F01)
i like the phb it says i already have 6.10 and i dont need to update but whats the use if i cant use the psn.

# Muttley 2009-10-19 08:18

Guys, i've installed gen-C and some games that i culd play before i cant now. seems like a downgrade. old games like sonic rivals still run, but even castlevania dont. internet is ok. So Let’s wait for the next one, i guess its better.

# Muttley 2009-10-19 08:35

me again! other issues: when i tried downgrade to gen-b, some games still cant run. at least my emululators still run. what happens?

# nyr2k2 2009-10-19 08:53

Yeah, all CSO. Maybe that's the problem...

# Goro san 2009-10-19 08:55

get hellcat recovery flasher from this site
flash some old CFW like 4.01 and from there go to GEN-B2

# Paradigm 2009-10-19 09:30

Greg, new news.
Download has been pulled from pspgen.
They said C2 is coming soon, but no date as of yet.
They also promised a patch for 5.03 HEN that would feature the same things.
Might want to pull the download, as they are aware of the bugs.

# Shinobi 2009-10-19 09:34

Why dont they just make it 100% functional and then release it instead of giving us garbage(well kinda)

Dont you agree, they are life-savers, i give you that but, atleast take time to test and kill all the bugs before putting it online
:S

But goodjob anyway Gen..

# Bewaffled 2009-10-19 09:35

Yea I've got this and I'm testing it now. It appears to be slightly messed up. You can still play all 5.00 games, but anything above will not run. It attempts to run, but it sits on the black screen and eventually shuts down. As far I can tell that's the only thing that's wrong. So I don't think I'll flash back down. By the way does anyone else notice a small slow down on the memory stick? Maybe I'm imagining things, lol. Hope the fix comes soon, I want my Naruto\Full Metal Fix!

# Bewaffled 2009-10-19 09:37

Correction* The games load, but just sit at a black loading screen. Wonder what went wrong there.

# Browen 2009-10-19 09:45

I am trying to update from CFW 5.00 M33 and I know I'm putting the files in the correct place. I just keep geting the message: "the game could not be started. (80010002)" :( can anyone help me?

# alex 2009-10-19 10:01

I was honestly expecting the exact same thing.

# alex 2009-10-19 10:08

don't update yet bro just wait ive been on m33_6 since it was released and have had no major problems like this with any of the M-33 CFW

# alex 2009-10-19 10:16

Listen every body im not flaming Team GEN at all they do great work and they do it because they love it, but so did Team M33. Now what we have to admit is that ok team M33 seems to have gone the way of the dinasaurs; hopefully they will pull a Jurasic Park and reapear soon with a new CFW. Now as for Team GEN (again great work), but you guys really have to slow down a bit and look over your CFW for bugs and really check it to make sure you can maybe make improvements before releasing it. Me personaly i run M33 and im good with it because i never use PSN and now thanks to YOSHIHIRO i can play newer games no problem.

# Enkeixpress 2009-10-19 10:18

Woah.. Dude, You didn't have to disable the ability to download the custom firmware LOL.

Some people may want to download it & take a look for themselves.. but I guess, Safety first & everything, a bit like wearing a jimmy and all that lol

Ah wells, I got the firmware from another source!

# Joel Zerpa 2009-10-19 10:28

Thank Yoshihiro for your work...i'm waiting for "C2" obviously the first (GEN-A and GEN-C) are BETAS, maybe C2 run CSO and not freeze.

By now 5.50GEN-B2 for good PSP work...

# Steven_PSN-14 2009-10-19 10:44

Honestly, it's about time for an newer firmware. While it's nice to see that there's an 5.50 GEN-C and such, 6.00 has been there for a long time, and now there's 6.10, why don't an newer version if you are making an firmware?

# Muttley 2009-10-19 10:49

Thanks man, it works! i can run the games that i would before. i will wait the m33 or the gen-c2. thanks again!

ps: sorry my english

# Sh4d0w 2009-10-19 10:52

Why would not having to decrypt anything be a disadvantage?

# Sh4d0w 2009-10-19 10:56

# Gackt 2009-10-19 10:59

5.50 GEN-D
Forget the rev. C/C2 Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-D is coming ...

Note that GENyUS and Yoshihiro currently working to ensure that these mistakes are forgotten as quickly as possible and we will post the Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-D when everything will be validated and verified.

that's so weird, all my games work for GEN C, haven't tried internet access though.

# R?n 2009-10-19 11:56

team GEN would simply make a cfw for 6.10 if d firmware was that easy to hack! fact is, its not that simple to crack d latest firmware & its all b'cuz of 'sony'.

# Logic Squirrel 2009-10-19 11:58

Tried it but ended up flashing back to 5.50-B2 via 5.00 m33-6, I'm looking forward to some updates /patches.

# Sh4d0w 2009-10-19 12:03

W00t the gen C patch works on 5.00M33-6 My system version says 5.00M33-6C xD I'm Playing Dirt 2 off UMD and im lying if u haven't figured it out yet

But seriously someone try it i want to know what happens lol

lol 5.00M33-6C

# steve 2009-10-19 12:52

5.50GEN-C isn't a patch, it rewrites the whole flash

# Aevalis 2009-10-19 13:26

Didn't realize how it didn't work for some people, works fine here though.... Tried these games.
FFIX first, making sure pops was supported.
Half Minute Hero, Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, Obscure, Disgaea 2, Project Diva, Persona patched still freezes with M33 (not sure about unpatched), Crisis Core, gpSP GBA Emu, and the new SNES9xTYL, all working fine.

# anonymous 2009-10-19 14:16

Well, I certainly wouldn't use a CFW from someone who can't write correctly. Seriously, reading your comment made my head hurt.

keep the good work guys you have it

# Bearmon 2009-10-19 15:49

Maybe you should pull it off for the C2 or D release because it is too bugs.. Pull it off is best way to do that.

# UaE LOL :) 2009-10-19 16:09

5.00m33-6C will.......good one :)

# xpL 2009-10-19 16:10

TRY THIS IF YOUR GAMES DON'T WORK!

1st, try changin driver mode (m33..sony..normal)
if that doesn't work try
2nd, if your game is in a cso format uncompress it to an iso!

A game which has been patched before and then converted to a CSO works for me!
A game which did not require patch and has been converted to a cso does not work!
So i've tried converting and voila!
Games run fine!

Gen-c has minor glitches!
especially network not being able to connect with WPA.

# ahtif786 2009-10-19 16:22

My psp is frozen at the xmb

# xpL 2009-10-19 16:23

if it freezes at the sce view,

enter recovery and format flash1

recovery > advanced > format flash1

# Mohawk 2009-10-19 16:30

This is why I have stuck with 5.00 M33.

They should atleast test the firmware properly before they release it.

# xpL 2009-10-19 16:34

we're testing it right now aren't we not...

it's best to distribute it to a mass to find all of the flaws rather than yoshi testing it by himself until he finds them all by himself.

# zapper 2009-10-19 16:43

Dark-Alex, where are you now that we need you the most!! These idiots (GEN) keep F#<King things up

# Hackhobby 2009-10-19 16:44

I can't connect to the internet with 5.50 Gen-C.

# Deklan 2009-10-19 17:26

Can't do WPA encryption

# Paradigm 2009-10-19 17:49

Oh boy....
Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy will all show up out of your asshole covered in Pina Colada before that happens.
GEN is all we have for now.
It took 5 revisions to make 5.00m33 as good as it is.
This is their third.
Give them a break.

# NeMeSiS 2009-10-19 18:54

All I care about is 1.5 adddon, warez
it at?

# Mavrick 2009-10-19 19:04

Try upgrading to programs which do the same thing but use newer kernel's. Its doubtful the 1.5 addon will be around forever.

# Mavrick 2009-10-19 19:10

Do you even bother reading the info? It says what to do to fix any issues dealing with freezing at the xmb.

Am I the only one who reads around here? RTFM!!

# Ulymar 2009-10-19 20:45

@greg,

This 5.50 Gen-C is good if you want to FORGET your games running on 5.0x CFW and below. This CFW only runs on 5.55 games and above, like my Naruto Shippuden and Gran Turismo. When I play my Tekken DR and Resistance: Retribution and all my older games, my PSP reboots or it can not recognize my back up games anymore. WARNING, dont update to this CFW yet. Good thing I have my m33 Pandora with me.

# Iagor 2009-10-19 20:55

this cfw 5.50 gen-c have 3 problem:

1° no access to psn
2° does not run game cso
3° the game crashes if not decrypt

please Yoshihiro fix the bug update
Thanks.

# Iagor 2009-10-19 21:03

ah and has 1 error when I call to get into the psn appears connection error occurred

# Agakahn 2009-10-19 21:03

Hey!
I unfortunately upgraded my PSP to Firmware 6.10. What can I do to run a Custom Firmware on it now? all the downgrade did not work, and the Pandora Battery did not work as well.
thanks for your help!

# Ulymar 2009-10-19 21:15

@RetroGamerX3
My Naruto Shippuden and Gran Turismo are CSOs and they worked on Gen-C. But all my previous games running on CFW 5.0x and below wont run, whether it is ISO or CSO. Better downgrade to GEN-B or m33-6 and wait for a fix on this GEN-C.

# Lelouch 2009-10-19 21:23

can some1 help me wen i try to download the Custom firmware it said " Download disabled"

# dean 2009-10-19 22:12

you ungrateful fu<k face. not happy? then go fucking pay for the games you pirate a$$hole. or take some classes in programing and write your own. these guys provide a free service to help us all out and all you do is criticize these guys who worked very hard on something for nothing. i think gen is doing an awesome job, genb2 works fu<king flawlessly. god damn it your such a leeching nubbbbb

# Iagor 2009-10-19 22:16

when I played star wars the clone wars republic heroes when loading the game crashes.

# DStan 2009-10-19 22:54

I'm not having that problem. Monster Hunter Freedom 2 is running fine as well as Metal Gear. So are the 5.55 and above games. I have a good ol' phat PSP.

The only thing that broke for me was game categories and I can live without that (though it was a really nice plugin)

# JC 2009-10-19 23:00

Is your battery converted to service mode?

# Greg Little 2009-10-20 00:16

I need help! Can anyone tell me what the default driver is for Gen B-2?

# bonbon 2009-10-20 01:49

saves time. ya know

# Indo 2009-10-20 02:27

Yeah, prove it. Just because it says official doesnt mean its true. Its defiantly possible but without proof its just FUD. I personally hope DAX is biding his time, waiting for sony to calm down and make a mistake after the release of the Go. Unfortunately hes probably done making CFW's and my PSP will soon be in the trash.

# Paradigm 2009-10-20 02:42

This is unworthy of a response.
Except...
Die you fucking troll.

# white alexia 2009-10-20 03:10

who's dark alex? lol

# Paradigm is jzt a noob 2009-10-20 03:14

lol
i'm guessing your paradigm...
r u getting back @ me 4 bashing u last time?

u sure take it seriously old man

# Casey Andrews 2009-10-20 03:36

lol

# asdf 2009-10-20 03:56

...its better if the gen cfw had speed memory access like in 5.00 m33-6

# OverKlockD 2009-10-20 04:25

I havent had any problems with this firmware since i put it on my psp. Wtf you all on about. I can play all iso and cso and all firmware like before.

# overklockd 2009-10-20 04:26

I ment to say all homebrew.

# Facebook User 2009-10-20 05:07

older than my greyest of pubes. This has been a running joke for idiots to digest every year. That"announcement" at E3 was for "09" "08" "07". and in 2010 they will announce the same fucking noob swallowing turd for "11"

# Agakahn 2009-10-20 05:27

How do you convert your battery to service mode??

# shawngn 2009-10-20 09:31

why dont they stop fucking around with 5.5 and go on to 6 jes

# Lunatik 2009-10-20 09:51

my cso/iso wont start error (80020321)

# Luciddreamin 2009-10-20 11:21

have u tried switching the drivers? press SELECT and when the VSH pops up try switching to the M33 or SONY NP driver for the umd iso mode

# Mavrick 2009-10-20 12:50

Obviously it isnt.

# Mavrick 2009-10-20 12:51

Your going to toss your psp in the trash because the over rated DAX isnt making any new CFW? What a douche.

# Mavrick 2009-10-20 12:53

Why dont you do it yourself? I like people like you, who think other people just whip shit up in a few hours and then toss it out on the internet for ungrateful fucks like you.

# kEXXAS 2009-10-20 13:19

it's M33 driver

# Paradigm 2009-10-20 13:21

Greg. News update.
Team Gen announced 5.50 GEN-D will be released tomorrow, October 21st at 8pm (France Time.)
Take a look at pspgen.com

# -hacks 2009-10-20 13:27

I saw that... But I'm going to wait for the actual release before posting anything - in case of delays or any unforeseen disasters, like GEN-C, ya know...

# Paradigm 2009-10-20 13:57

GEN-Crap you mean.
XD

# -hacks 2009-10-20 14:06

haha - no doubt... Well, actually, it works fine for me. I'm able to get online (using WPA) and my games/ISOs continue working. Mind you I've only been playing Motorstorm on my 2000, haven't tried much else.

# taki 2009-10-20 14:27

FUCK AGAIN. GTA CHINA TOWN WARS is on now! I download it, oppen it with UMDGEN and sys is 6.00 region is NTSC , extract eboot.bin run Yoshis patcher and woalla (mad) ''cant decrypt eboot.bin (cant write 0x00000 and sad smile :( <-- then exit.
FUCK FUCK FUCK. Oh im tired with this Sony shits. In the end jist go buy one Nintendo WII flash it ant burn some CDs and play. Im realy tired. This look like a WAR, WAR between us and GIGANT SONY!!!

# koolkidz8703 2009-10-20 15:08

Does it allow for online play?
Thats what im worried about
So many games i wanna play online
But sadly i cant =[[[

# rnclock 2009-10-20 18:55

Ditto, and well written.

# Casey Andrews 2009-10-20 22:46

I am not sure I want to "beta" test any more Gen releases... Ill wait til majority has stability before I up... dont wanna brick my only system

# Acid_1 2009-10-21 03:44

umm... 5, maybe ten minutes tops. Are you on dial up?

# Acid_1 2009-10-21 03:50

If you were trying to be funny you fail.

# Acid_1 2009-10-21 03:52

Let me guess, when M33 was first around, you said eff-you to M33 cause OE was the 'Pure' CFW?

# asd 2009-10-21 05:26

cool, now im playing GTA Chinatown.
i know you already know this but if a game doesn't work after instaling gen C then go to your vsh menu and you will see that is says normal. change it to m33. then it will work.

# asd 2009-10-21 05:36

i instaled the update, dowloaded the game and it works. (i think you need the us version)

# taki 2009-10-21 08:40

where can i get this US version pls tell me.
BTW: Yes may be work on GEN-C but too much problem is in and i wait today GEN-D

# CircaF00t 2009-10-21 10:26

And you know what? The game isn't that great...

# alex 2009-10-21 12:01

yo everybody just saw on qj 5.50GEN-D has been released.

To soon if you ask me, but these guys are the programers and they do as they please.

Good job team GENyous I really dont follow your work much, but good job anyway.

Im a M33 user but I'm not really sure that DAX or team M33 is doing anything, but oh well.

# alex 2009-10-21 12:29

Ooops sorry GEN-D is actually going to be released tomorrow not today. SORRY about that everybody. my bad.

But it does say they fixed a bunch of things that were causing problems.

Good job Team GEN

# Jhanzeb 2009-10-21 14:46

plz make an update that is PSP 3000 5.51 (ofw)compatible so i can get rid of my ofw and start using cfw!

# Dylan Harris 2009-10-21 18:13

anybody else notice the Insane Clown Posse Reference? lol

# Ryuuichi 2009-10-26 05:34

I used the CFW 5.50 Gen D2. My PSP turn out to OFW 5.50 and unable to play and ISO games. Tried to downgrade but it won't run. Keep giving me the error message, "This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted". Any advice? I need help urgently, thanks in advance. :3

# Ultima 2009-11-06 02:57

He meant does this have any disadvantages compared to M33-6 - this particular one (GEN-C) doesn't seem to work very well, but normally the 5.50 GEN firmwares are superior in every way.

# JOrdan21 2009-12-07 21:54

I got PSP 2001.. My system Version was 5.00 M33-3 then i accidentally updated it to 6.20.. after that my PSP can't recognize my ISO And CSO games.. Please HELpp Mee..
