Quick Updater for PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D2 Released

Submitted by greg; October 23, 2009

Yoshihiro and Team GEN follow up with the quickness and release the Quick Updater for the much-anticipated 5.50 GEN-D2.

And the change log says...

Evangelion anti-CFW patch fix
Fix Wlan TKIP in game loop: pes 2009, fifa, motorstorm, GTA:CW etc.
Fix video output with 5.5X and 6.X games like GTA Chinatowns War
Fixed recovery menu with make Pandora and make battery normal
Removed splash screen http://www.pspgen.com but you have another spash screen in red color for let you know if the decrypter work

And a few notes concerning select games:

If Evangelion doesn't work: Skip the intro.
Use your own ISO and not a downloaded/pirated one. They're gutted and often crap.
If Full Metal Alchemist doesn't work: At first launch create your profile. When done, choose an option like "free Battle Mode" and you are then returned to the start menu with an alert "Caution." At this point, quit and relaunch. All works fine now because the profile was created.

you know what i think, DA was a legend and we all know he was. He has been making CFW since the 1.5 days and he has done so until 5.00. So he has practice making CFW for a very long time and was able to master the art, and whenever a few firmware came out he just had to edit the old one to include the new features.

GEN only started after DA quit, so they are busy working and always adding new features and fixing old bugs. To me it looks like GEN is trying to prefect one CFW once and that will only happen with practice and trial and error. Once they get 5.50GEN perfected then they can move onto 6.XX because then it will just be a simple update.

We all know GEN is no way near DA and it will take them time, but they are doing a good job.

Worked very good to me! (PSP FAT 1000) Nice work GEN team! Keep on going!

# Tacoguy 2009-10-24 02:15

Tested on Phat and Slim PSPs (both were on 5.50 gen-d and worked perfectly).

# Crippler 2009-10-24 02:18

No mem speed up. Still don't care.

# cline2 2009-10-24 02:26

What is mem speed up?? is that necessary to have mem speed up??? Still PSN Store not work update requires that sucks otherwise everything is good!

# kakashi07 2009-10-24 02:27

I dont need a IR patch,but a Ms speed up would be nice(but not strictly necessary)

# animedude 2009-10-24 02:39

there is an irshell patch just download irshell gen off hacks here it works just the same!

# Contagioncode 2009-10-24 02:42

Well,these old bluejeans have too many holes in them. Another 5.50 patch. Splash screen is now all Red. No PSN on Media Go or wireless, still asks for a software update. Recovery menu went back to old B2 before Xgen. Version text still at 9.90 The 6.XX Nids have got to be a real ballbreaker like the 3.80 days. Thanks GEN but still unstable after reboot. Peace

# animedude 2009-10-24 02:42

I have had oe and then Gen I never messed with Dark Alex so I dont understand why you guys are all over this thing with not updating to GEN these guys are doing a great job give them a shot if you dont like it reflash and go back to M33? Its not that hard!

# animedude 2009-10-24 02:43

use MediaGo off you computer and the store works fine!

# Paradigm 2009-10-24 02:44

-sigh- Agreed.
I tested this though.
No bugs found.
It works great.
But until a new fatmsmod or speed up ms option comes out, I'm staying on 5.00M33
Great work nonetheless Team Gen.

# animedude 2009-10-24 02:48

he is gone get over it and update! If you dont like it pandora back thats it!

# jeise 2009-10-24 03:10

never said i didn't like them, i took the plunge when GEN-D came out. It was about time i updated, mainly for the auto decryption. The MS speeds people keep talking about i have not had a issue yet, so gen has finally made it to my psp.

# ARUN.OR.VIC 2009-10-24 03:12

GEN LORDS PLZ GIV US MS SPEED UP
GEN LORDS PLZ GIV US MS SPEED UP
GEN LORDS PLZ GIV US MS SPEED UP

GEN LORDS PLZ GIV US MS SPEED UP
GEN LORDS PLZ GIV US MS SPEED UP

# Leeuw 2009-10-24 03:13

dude just think, why was 5.00 at -6 ?

coz of flaws in earlier revs also

# jeise 2009-10-24 03:14

i dunno as a m33 user, i can say i really like gen and have yet to encounter any of your problems. I did format flash1 and reset everything just so it's all fresh and i will say it solved my battery problem that i was having

# jeise 2009-10-24 03:30

hmm weird i got grand trusimo and it ran fine, got the red splash screen and eveything went fine. But cannot get soulcalabur to work get a game error.

GT is a iso
soulcalubar is a cso

any solution??

# WyzeGye 2009-10-24 03:43

Or use Hellcats recovery flasher.

# Ch@z 2009-10-24 04:01

The game is working only FAT PSP and Only with 5.50 GEN-B CFW. On Slim PSP it will crash on the character select screen..Doesn't work on 5.50 GEN-B SLIM PSP

Recovery settings :
Advanced configuration> Execute BOOT.BIN in UMD/ISO (Currently: Enabled)
Advanced configuration> Plain modules in UMD/ISO (Currently: Disabled)

Configuration >
UMD Mod (currently : Sony NP9660 -NO UMD-)
Use VSHMenu (Currently) : VSHMENU
Use version.txt (Currently) : Enabled

I tested this on my 1004 Phat 550 GEN D, and it worked.
Shame i dont like these games, but i always want to know if it works.

# jeise 2009-10-24 04:17

but i thought gen-D is suppose to fix the problem??

# roadstarter 2009-10-24 04:27

Works great!!!

GEN-D2 patch is fast.

# Kyorly 2009-10-24 04:34

Well If Full Metal Alchemist(JPN) doesn't work, put this code:

_S ULJS-00220
_G Hagaren FA
_C1 kidou
_L 0xD016FCBC 0x003003FF
_L 0x1016FCBC 0x00000000

All Thanks to 2ch

# s0ul 2009-10-24 05:25

my 16gb memstick runs like it has a slow motion feature on it. you'll b dead b4 u knw when sephiroth makes his ultra fast flash dash attack shit! sephiroth is fucking annoying! lol

# roadstarter 2009-10-24 05:53

Works great !!!

Fast patch GEN-D2

# sixty.nines 2009-10-24 05:57

# Boszo 2009-10-24 06:41

mgs peace walker demo still doesn't work for me either on np9660 or m33 driver:/

# ... 2009-10-24 06:57

Please be quiet. ._.

# ... 2009-10-24 07:00

Same here; A lot of people that got it working on GEN-B2 and shit changed their Version.txt to 5.55 to make it work, so I suppose we'll have to try that.

# Synyster 2009-10-24 07:25

Ive got Gen-D already install but how do I make it to Gen-D2?

# Emo_Soulchild 2009-10-24 07:55

so if ive read the readme correctly this cfw wouldnt work on TA-090v2?

# Yacine Yaz Majid 2009-10-24 07:57

Great Work Team Gen , but i still dont get why the PSN get screwed the first thing , is sony doing some authentication prcs or what , for me i will stick with the Gen-D as it works like a charm until the PSN issue get solved but in GENERAL ppl who r crying for DAX get a life and move on he is out of the scene he did a hell of a job but he is out so wake up and get over him ;)))

# Yacine Yaz Majid 2009-10-24 07:59

this is off topic but i need some help in some homebrew emulators , i want to play early FF and Kingdom Heart and other classic RPG , i never get to figure out how to do it ( PSP 2000 GEN-D ) so if anyone can help me (yacine.majid@gmail.com)

# Argeoff 2009-10-24 08:24

It's working great on my psp slim

I must say great work esp.for the auto decryption thingy. Thank you !

# Bearmon 2009-10-24 08:34

Did I gave you the instruction how to run it from .txt ? :)

# Bearmon 2009-10-24 08:36

Download Gen-D2 and extract psp folder into your memory card where psp folder is and overwrite it and try it. :)

# vanjhones 2009-10-24 08:45

I just installed GEN-D2 and tried playing Gran Turismo. It had a red screen for a few moments when loading the ISO before the PSP shut down completely. Did I mess something?

# gaser 2009-10-24 08:55

crimson gem saga: when trying to quit game during intro it hangs. need to pull off battery to reset.
hope they ll fix this bug

# Joel Zerpa 2009-10-24 09:46

red screen is normal...

# PentaMedia 2009-10-24 09:59

Installed this on my PSP Slim (PSP-2004) and it works as a charm

Nice work team GEN

# Goro san 2009-10-24 10:04

that red screen is worse than previus splash lol

# doning 2009-10-24 11:10

folder does not show on filer 6.4

# Playboy 2009-10-24 11:12

Dark_AleX made OE firmwares, so technically, you DID mess with Dark_AleX's firmwares. :)

# Deklan 2009-10-24 11:14

Cool but msspeed up nao, * later

# Domenico 2009-10-24 11:34

Thx my friend. Yoshihiro rox!!!!!!!!!

# Decius 2009-10-24 11:45

"Use your own ISO and not a downloaded/pirated one. They’re gutted and often crap."

Uh, I think not. You can download tons of ripped (UMD to PC) games that haven't had anything modified in them. It would not matter about the ISO being ripped of anything anyways.

I can't use my own ISO's as I don't have any UMDS so... ;)

# Xctive 2009-10-24 11:52

guys im in the playstation store with gen d2 on my phat so i didn't read if fixing that so im not sure by ya. anyone else?

# Xctive 2009-10-24 11:56

nvm sorry im retarted it was because i wasnt signed into the network sorry lol

# Molez 2009-10-24 12:26

we need ms speed up and playstation network back, is there any way to create a cfw network (all cfw users play with each other)?

# Dreski 2009-10-24 12:41

ok so i asked about cxmb last time and was goven a bunch of things to download to get it to work. but none of it worked. im not a noob with this stuff but i cant figure out how to get it to work? r they gonna release one that actually works for gen - D?

# Dreski 2009-10-24 12:47

never mind i got it to work

# reddragon506 2009-10-24 13:02

hey ive noticed that in system info it says that im at gen-B(full not gen-D(full) any1 else got same? or know y this is? it also wont let me change my theme bk to classic or origonal from the ctf theme i have.

# ALIENWARE 2009-10-24 13:05

I remember when back in the days when Dark_Alex leave the CFW scene for good,and suddenly came the M33 team with new CTW.Then we realize that M33 was DAKK_ALEX and his theam.
How do we know that this new team in not Dark_Alex again....

# KingPepper 2009-10-24 13:11

I am sure the author of CXMB is going to make a patch for it, to make it run correctly on this latest CFW, or if not him, someone will, there are a lot of talented coders out there. :o)

# George Forman 2009-10-24 13:13

Will there be a 1.50 Kernal Add-On for this?!

# icecold49 2009-10-24 13:36

There's a little problem with Disgaea 2 (easily avoidable though). When you slide the power switch to temporarily turn off your psp while playing disgaea 2, the game freezes for a while and then turns off but only during the game's cut-scenes. Any other time I switch the game off, it turns off perfectly. This error was also apparent on GEN-B with a decrypted version. It's a small error but I just thought I'd mention it to anyone playing and so it can possibly be fixed. Heck, maybe it's just something wrong with my cso, who knows.

# KingPepper 2009-10-24 13:48

It should say 5.50 GEN-D2, Did you upgrade to Gen B2 first then onto Gen D, then onto Gen D2 in that order.
Also you mean your .ptf theme don't you, as CXMB doesn't work in this latest firmware update.

# KingPepper 2009-10-24 13:50

Re-try as .iso and see if it does the same. :o)

# Bearmon 2009-10-24 13:56

Me too. They works fine on mine! :)

# KingPepper 2009-10-24 13:58

The GEN team & Yoshihiro are French, Dark Alex was Spanish, that's why.
I don't think DAX will be coming back, as he got pissed off with his work being stolen, as soon as he finished a update to his firmware, somebody would re-name it, as there work, and release it.

# tom 2009-10-24 14:00

its a nice update. with one small flaw, the network update wont work like in gen-b. it says "not yet"

# PentaMedia 2009-10-24 14:03

Noticed a little bug with D2, when trying to enter the webbrowser the psp freezes after like 20 seconds... Is it just me or has this happened to anyone else?

Using a PSP Slim (PSP-2004)
Updated like this Gen B2 -> Gen D -> Gen D2
Tried to format flash1 and put all settings back but nothing changed.

And a note for those who cant get CXMB to work, it works for me, have the same as I had with Gen B2, and using CTF tool by patpat to convert themes from 5.00 M33 to 5.50 Gen and it works as a charm

# conbinboy 2009-10-24 14:06

Kidos to the Gen team. From the comments sounds like it's still a bit buggy. As well, the long awaited improve MS access is yet to be implement. Will stick to 5.00m33 till further notice.

# ... 2009-10-24 14:10

It was on a Youtube video, this is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

# jebise 2009-10-24 14:20

i think it's get locked when a new firmware comes out. Just like they do with the 360, ps3, wii etc. It's not becuase we have CFW it's because we are on 5.50 when we should be at 6.1x etc.

# zerojad 2009-10-24 14:34

It happened to me once with GTA, when on the cutscenes i suspended for a while, then later i turned on again, was reading, then it says couldn't find the medias.

Also was on GPS map looking around and suddently the game hanged for a while then shutted down. :\

# someuhguy 2009-10-24 14:49

I didn't test it. Sorry

# someuhguy 2009-10-24 14:55

Sorry you cannot install costum firmware on 3000. You will brick it. unless it says specifically that you can.

# someuhguy 2009-10-24 14:57

Try leda its smaller and almost always works.

# someuhguy 2009-10-24 14:59

I'll be waiting for you to tell me what firmware you upgrade to.(sarcastic)

# Laguna 2009-10-24 15:05

instead of complaining, buy official mem sticks not those fakes or generic brands or converters as when they work they are slower

# Molez 2009-10-24 15:58

dont kill the sarcasm

# Ven 2009-10-24 16:08

Look at GEN's.

GEN A
GEN B
GEN B2
GEN C
GEN D
GEN D2

That's also six versions.

I love DAX, but ever since he left, I used GEN. I'll never forget DAX though.

# Lunatik 2009-10-24 16:09

its ok but the only problem is that i play SOCOM FTB2 and every time i go online it doesn't give me that connecting message and it some times it gives me internal error (80082731)
i Have A PSP SLIM(2001)
I would really Suggest the gen team to make a slim gen Cfw and a Fat Gen Cfw because one thing works on the fat but when you try to use it on the slim it has bugs...

# someuhguy 2009-10-24 17:39

It freeses when I try to boot picodrive, my genesis emulator.

# CircaF00t 2009-10-24 17:39

# darpa06 2009-10-24 17:42

i mean the demo

# b864mer5 2009-10-24 19:13

what Fix video output with 5.5X and 6.X games like GTA Chinatowns War mean??

i play this game with gen b2 and decrypted iso but the video looks fine.

Anyone knows what this feature do.

# (¬_¬) 2009-10-24 19:24

Currently running GEN-D2; Peace Walker DEMO wouldn't boot up (80010013 error). Tried the Version.txt trick, enabled it and everything from the Recovery Menu; version still says 5.50 GEN-D2. Peace Walker DEMO STILL DOESN'T BOOT (80010013).

# (¬_¬) 2009-10-24 19:25

And bear in mind, the Version.txt trick worked for everyone on GEN-B2.

# Vince 2009-10-24 19:29

Thanks for the update! was wondering why my internet wasnt working.., I was gonna almost use hellkats recovery flasher to flash back to m33, until this showed up!
Thanks GEN! :)

# (¬_¬) 2009-10-24 19:37

FOUND A FIX.

Go to the Recovery Menu > Advanced > Advanced Configuration. Disable GAME Plugins. Demo plays perfectly after that.

# (¬_¬) 2009-10-24 19:55

# Laguna 2009-10-24 23:27

please stop telling people to uprade to anything before installing 5.50 gend because its a clean install hence it 5.50 firmware file included therefor a large download.... so anyone that can run homebrew can install it as d and d2 is complete install and not an upgrade, i guess you cant see the big clue like formatting flash when its installing the firmware meaning it doesnt matter what firmware is installed since it will be erased to install the 5.50 gend firmware...

please note that you still need a custom firmware to run it, so its a no go for guys with official firmware

# Laguna 2009-10-24 23:29

also i use 16gb minisd card with converter and have zero probs with psp including with speed... if you have a speed issue then get a new memory card as it means yours a fake and it is failing...

also people with speed issues in game, make sure the game isnt cso and you shouldnt have speed issues at all

# Anthony Fuller 2009-10-24 23:52

YES, it does this in GTA Chinatown wars also, probably in all games most likely. now GEN D3 lol

# Anthony Fuller 2009-10-24 23:55

cant quick games during intros, going back to gen d

# RootBeerKing 2009-10-25 00:42

Lunar demo still doesn't work, it boots up, shows the "this is a demo" splash thing, fades to black and then backs out to the XMB saying the game couldn't start.

# Boeebob 2009-10-25 00:52

That's a shame. I would love to play Lunar...

# Cain 2009-10-25 01:08

Dreski how did you get CXMB to work on GEND-2? ive been trying and i cant get it i downloaded a few versions of it for 5.50 along with the converter even getting ones already made for 5.50 but still no luck

thanks for your help in advance

# Ricky 2009-10-25 05:03

It still doesn't work with SmackDown vs Roll 2010

mine - PSP-1007 with 5.50 GEN-D (Full)

# guenthar 2009-10-25 05:50

The difference though is that (I haven't followed gen that much) D added the ability to play games from 5.55 and 6.x firmware. The reason why there were so many versions of 5.00 m33 is ps1 games didn't work right and other problems and it took that many versions to get everything to work right. I went pack to the previous m33 when I tried 5.00 m33 since it had many problems.

# guenthar 2009-10-25 06:04

Actually gen started while dark alex was still mafing cfw. I remember trying one of their first versions where they added game catagories but it didn't work for me very well. I can't remember what firmware version that was based upon but it was before 5.00.

# guenthar 2009-10-25 06:26

You probably don't need to remove the battery since if you hold in the power button for awhile (30 seconds or longer) it will always shut off.

That isn't really that bad of a problem since you can play the games and you are trying to quit the game anyways so you are not missing anything.

# guenthar 2009-10-25 06:32

You would have to create software to emulate their server for this to work. It wouldn't be as difficult as it is to emulate an mmo but it would still take time if someone tries.

# guenthar 2009-10-25 06:36

Gen also started while dax was making custom firmware.

# Enkeixpress 2009-10-25 06:49

For anyone that wants to know.. I've tested both Ultimate PSPTube 2.0 & Netfront Beta 4 Browser by Team P86 And I'm pleased to say that they work absolutely flawless! :)

100% Working.

# guenthar 2009-10-25 06:50

So because of a minor problem that isn't much of a problem you are going back to a cfw that has worse problems.

# guenthar 2009-10-25 06:52

Are you sure that really wasn't the demo? It did say it was a demo. :)

# Enkeixpress 2009-10-25 06:52

Oh, And Netfront Beta 4 Browser By Team P86 also works when you replace the html_viewer.prx file in your flash0/vsh folder aswell which is pretty neat.

So you are still able to start the Beta 4 browser from the original browser's location in this custom firmware release!

# david 2009-10-25 06:53

# Taki 2009-10-25 07:35

Uh! I update but forgot to say THK U GEN :) and not only GEN THK's YOSHI too ;)
I jus forgot post comment sorry.
Bay the way ALL work 100% only Motorstorm still cant play online becouse game connect on PSN.
And the one last thing too. If is any posibility to make this UMD DVDs mount withut UMD insade in PSP this must be the best thing in GEN's FW. Im just saing ;)

# PentaMedia 2009-10-25 08:00

Okey, thanks anyway. Going back to 5.50 GEN D for awhile again... Might install D2 and see if it was something that messed up last time

cxmb needs to be updated for this! and for some reason my legally purchased download of Super Stardust Portable still isn't working anymore.

# Mo.E 2009-10-25 10:04

how to i go about updating my cxmb?

# Sh4d0w 2009-10-25 12:14

Actually, that's not true. My official Sony 2gb is about 3Mbps transfer speed, while my Sandisk 2gb is 5, and my Sandisk 8gb has 7-8Mbps (sometimes as high as 9.5Mbps) transfer speeds.

And when I get my 2x16GB MicroSD converter, I have heard that it can get up to 13Mbps transfer speed.

# Sh4d0w 2009-10-25 12:18

Well, for one thing, Execute BOOT.BIN in UMD/ISO should be OFF. Because most ISOs/CSOs have this file ripped out, as it is useless dummy data.

And UMD Driver should be M33 Driver not Sony NP9660

# Sh4d0w 2009-10-25 12:20

Thats what my slim has so yeah it will work.Just not on TA-90v3

I believe the readme has a typo...

# Sh4d0w 2009-10-25 12:25

i have followed nearly every tutorial and getting nowhere...

# Boszo 2009-10-25 15:28

first u have to install d then d2

# ChopLifter 2009-10-25 15:42

Thx so much for the update! The MetalGear Peace Walker demo is running on gen-d2 using the version.txt trick! Awesome job and keep up the good work! Looking forward to 6.xx GEN!

# Mo.E 2009-10-25 18:51

i have tried,
but when i select the D update it just loads a black screen....
any thoughts??

# Mavrick 2009-10-26 00:04

Thats strange, i got into the store just fine.

# Someuhguy 2009-10-26 01:04

Sorry DAX said it was universal, so I though it would run on anything(almost ).

# jebise 2009-10-26 01:19

if its anything like soul calbur you have to enable boot.ini from the recovery console

# Boszo 2009-10-26 05:54

how can ido the version txt trick??

# skyle 2009-10-26 11:14

i still can't play 5.55 games(tales of vs.)

or i need to do something?

# Dreski 2009-10-26 12:53

ok you go here and just install it and it works

# eagle1 2009-10-26 16:03

same problem here, trying to update on a phat running gen-b to d with no luck.

# galerian6 2009-10-26 16:04

Thanks Team-GEN for the hard work your giving us GAMERS, the new games are running smooth in CFW 5.50 GEN-D2, but some old games are not, i found that Tekken Dark Resurrection & UP doesn't work and gives an error code (80020148).

hope you fix those errors, and thanks again.

# Bearmon 2009-10-26 19:26

No, DAX is spanish and GEN is french.

# If you can't figure it out for 2009-10-26 22:20

I have 5.00m33-6 and soul calibur works. It works on GEN too. It works on 1000, 2000, and 3000 psp's. Wanna know why? Google never lets me down. So to answer your question: Yes.

# trutoxicklown@mininova.org 2009-10-26 22:24

I am the god you seek.

# Morisato 2009-10-27 07:14

Strange. Anyone else get a slight 1-2 second red screen after gameboot logo and before game actually starts? Never seen this on 5.50 Gen-D but after D2 it started showing unless it also did show in D but I haven't noticed on it then when I was using it.

# joe 2009-10-27 10:01

i just up dated to gen D 2 FROM gen d and i can't get in to my flash 0 but i did find out somethings if you use the irshell patch from gen b iT will work but your firmware will read gen B FULL AFTER YOU FLASH THE PATCH BUT ALL THE GEN D STUFF IS STILL THERE I KNOW IT IS GEN D 2 BECAUSE I GET THE RED SCREEN ON ON MY NEW GAME START UP AND MY NEW GAMES STILL WORK WITHOUT A PATCH HAS ANY ONE HEARD OF THIS IT WORKS JUST LIKE GEN D-2 BUT IT SAID GEN B FULL

# Goro san 2009-10-27 16:52

in D it was white screen with some txt
its sign 5.55/6.00 enabler is working
dont worry bout it

# wow 2009-10-27 19:59

How effective is this memory stick speedup anyways? i fooled around with it very little for a few hours. I did see that it caused problems when i would insert a memory stick while it was on sometimes, the orange light would jsut blink slowly, but i coudl take it out and put it back in and it would fix.

Anyways, while using it, i really notice absolutley no difference. When putting stuff on my MS, i use the card reader on my computer anyways, much easier for me than hooking up the cables.

this new gen firmware is just as good AND better than any m33 firmware i had used, and i can play all the new games, the new gran turismo is sweet.

peace

# Bearmon 2009-10-27 21:42

Does the red screen mean 5.55/6.00 enabler is working or that the roms I had decrypt those with GameDecryptor is working ? Which ?

# Morisato 2009-10-27 22:45

Thanks for the info Goro. Guess I was decrypting the games before and when D series came out from C. I just stopped using the decrypting software and let the CFW do the work so I never noticed before until now :)

# Goro san 2009-10-28 03:17

for decrypted games, it register as NORMAL and no red screen
red screen = 555/600 enabler working <_<
i wrote it moment ago

# psp_kid 2009-10-28 04:00

guys, I found this irritating bug in Obscure the Aftermath. Everytime I try to skip the PLAYLOGIC intro, my psp hangs up. If I restart it, only a black screen comes out but if I take out my m-stick it boots up normal. anyone tried this? I'm using GEN-B2 & i was just wondering, is this fixed in D2? xD

# Confused 2009-10-28 05:50

Updated to D2, but I tried playing the new GTA and it shut off after it asked me to auto save. What am I missing?

# made4uguys 2009-10-28 09:34

cool man!!! gen d-2 made the gta chinatown wars work really fine.... b4 i had the error 8....148 ....I dont remember the exact error code but it surely ends with 148...

# mw11 2009-10-28 12:40

well, games are working fine on my psp-slim 2004 with a TA-085 board, so i'm going to test if gran turismo works^^

# RootBeerKing 2009-10-28 18:46

I'm sure it was the demo as I downloaded it from the PSN.

# raven 2009-10-28 23:09

may i ask a question? is it true that if you install a defective cfw in your psp, i could destroy the whole psp system? if that is true is it fixable?

# Goro san 2009-10-29 03:03

its not about defective, its about incompatible
its caled a brick, and yep, its fixable, you just need to prepere 1st
google for :PSP Brick"
or for "PSP Unbricking" for more infi

# cline2 2009-10-29 14:03

how do you update from 1.5 to 5.50 GEN ??

# omega 2009-10-29 19:34

PSP Slim is not reading UMD Discs after updating to GEN-D2.

# omega 2009-10-29 20:05

Now it reads the UMDs after I pushed the laser a bit to the side.

# Steve 2009-10-30 18:07

Can you go straight to 5.50 gen from 5.00 m33?

# GOREslinger 2009-10-31 02:55

Anybody able to get pimpstreamer (.91 or lower) working??? I know it is because it's 1.5 kernel, but the fucking pimpstreamer 1.0 and 1.02 are fucking terrible. Anybody know an alternative brew for streaming avi's???

# GOREslinger 2009-10-31 03:05

disregard that comment... i'm drunk and all my shit is backwards. lol! anyway something they did is giving me a net module error(pimpstrea mer .91)that is driving me shit fuck crazy... any ideas? Was workin' on gen-b.

# Lunatik 2009-10-31 15:22

since gen b2 works for everybody i would suggest gen to grab the 5.xx and 6.xx patch to work on b2 because in reality all i need for gen b2 to be perfect(for me)is just that i could get on the psn and go online on newer games like ftb3 since its coming out and i wont be able to play it since d2 wont let me go online and b2 i would need the patch spoof-er
I WOULD REALLY SUGGEST THE TEAM TO TAKE THEIR TIME DOING WHAT THEIR DOING AND TEST THEIR PROJECTS WITH BOTH A SLIM PSP AND FAT PSP AND IF THEIRS A PROBLEM THAT IS FIXABLE THEY SHOULD SHOW HOW TO FIX IT...

# anonymousV 2009-10-31 16:42

i was thinking of upgrading to 5.50gen D2 from 5.50gen b2 but i already have patched isos on my psp will they continue to work after i upgrade?

# Exil 2009-11-02 03:54

Is it just me or is this capable of making larger videos lag insufferably?

# neo 2009-11-02 08:31

With this update I cant play Gran Turismo anymore..... -.- Ive tried decrypted version and normal iso, both doesnt work. Ive tested with all iso modes, but still doesnt work. Red screen and then on credits I got lagg and must to restart my psp. All other games works perfectly.

# zgub 2009-11-02 09:31

Found a bug in GTA China Town Wars. When you enter sleep mode with the psp, the game freezes. maybe it is posted here already, didn't read all the comments.

# Drakk 2009-11-02 13:06

I have a question, Can I go from GenB(Full) to GenD2?or have to install the previous one before D2?

# pornoholic 2009-11-03 06:31

WHEN WILL THEY RELEASE THE MS SPEED UP PATCH?

# hijacker 2009-11-04 00:02

I am trying update from Gen B, all files are properly placed, when i try to load the updater from the MS, the screen just goes black and nothing happens right after the psp screen.

any clue whats going on? Should i downgrade and start all over? or m i just missing something here?

thanks,

# Long Live 5.00m33-6 (-.-) 2009-11-04 00:32

this is annoying..

i upgraded from 5.00m33-6 to 5.50gen D , and it only boots up to my web browser.. cant get to the xmb unless i take out my memory stick.. and if i try to launch any homebrew, it takes me to the web browser again..which im stuck at until i remove the MS again >.>

i disabled my themes and all that shit before i upgraded ...

# gr8_Chef 2009-11-06 15:16

umm can i do this?
can i go back to 5.50 gen b
but i have 5.50 gen D2

# flagellum_23 2009-11-06 18:31

I can 100% confirm that Soul Calibur - Broken Destiny DOES NOT WORK ON GEN-D2.

# flagellum_23 2009-11-06 18:33

Soul Calibur - "Game could not be started." I also tested it under every umd mode, nothing works. Just figured i'd put it on the record.

# Asad 2009-11-08 02:50

Guyz i am downloading it and can any one tell me that will new games work on it like Smackdown VS raw 2010. Please guys help me out.

# Exil 2009-11-08 05:18

Alright, I can now officially confirm that videos at 480x272, depending on their length and size can lag insufferably. It's even worse when the videos are at 720x480.
No complaints on 368x208.
But this better get fixed.

# louai77 2009-11-09 14:13

hi there, can you please tell me what steps you took to update your PSP? cause i updated to Gen d2 and i still get a msg saying that i need a software update and i can not seem to play any of my games on line, i was wondering if i missed any step? thank you

# steve clifton 2009-11-10 19:21

ok smart guys. dark alex left.. gen is fine. and if you cant make it run well learn its easy. want a simplified version? if you have the gen d installed that lets u skip b, get a fat psp or slim with v1 motherboard. make a softmod pandora battery. build it to flash install gen d boot (im gonna assume u have m33 allready if not put it on) flash install gen d then go into recovery and format flash 1 then go into ur xmb where you will be in d. put the d2 updater on your card under game and then install it
and poof you will be at d2 with a pandora recovery for d. i did this and i have never had an issue. even when i messed up my psp fat and had the red recovery coming up the pandora fixed it with flashing gen d, stop knocking them they are far smarter then you... psx psp(iso cso) saturn,n64,nes, snes,gba,atari, sega,gamegear,a miga and a couple other emus i cant remember got em all running on my psp with little effort just some trial and error. you want this community to stay alive??? TRY LEARNING SOME STUFF YOURSELF. test things... stop being lazy. you are allready getting the games for free. jerk. furthermore ive discovered which psp go game has the hello world exploit. and i wont be saying on a forum. maby to a couple of the admins in an email or something.

# steve clifton 2009-11-10 19:45

also i got wwf to work on d2 just dropped from 333 to 222 because its what the games looks for. worked pretty good.. and uh soul caliber works....... did u get a good iso?? also i got a modded version of windows 3.1 to boot. not all pluggins work yet but it allowed me to plug a standalone cdrom into the psp 2000 and listen to a cd off of it.. its semi stable but im just testing and playing with it. btw we dont need dark alex we need people who care enough to learn and play around. with that i welcome myself to the world of psp customs and homebrew. the saturn emu works if you rebuild it properly but its testy and a bit slow. nulldc can be ported but not easily and it runs like crap. so just wait for them to fix it. im trying to figure out a way to take ps2 games onto the computer and drop the graphic images and the video quality to lower the usage to make some ps2 games playable on psp. so far ive only made final fantasy X run and its about 80% the gameplay is pretty good just the vidz n stuff are choppy. have i answered all the questions?

# steve clifton 2009-11-10 19:54

and for the record all of you wanting to go back to other things yeah u can... i just use a pandora battery you can build a pandora with more then one install. so u can have a whole list of cfw and ofw to flash to setup in your pandora menu. and remember to format your flash1 from recovery after you do this to clear any useless crap out. and lastly hardmod works kinda but its too complicated just make a softmod pandora. psp fat works best but u need a hacked psp to make a hacked psp with softmod.

# steve clifton 2009-11-10 20:06

u can try recovery flasher too for going back to older cfw, but ive never tried it.

# rbjmaster 2009-11-12 16:09

you have to update to b2 first

# Galvin Martin Patrick 2009-11-14 15:00

I've updated from 5.00 M33-6 to Gen D, then D2. All games can be played but when I browse my media (aka music, video, photo) within the xmb, the screen freezes!!!

Then, I downgraded it to M33 and use the decrypted/patched eboot to play the latest games(much easier).

The question is, why does it freezes my xmb when I try to browse my media? Buggy or my bad?!

btw, I updated while all themes set to original and all plugin's disabled.

# Vince 2009-11-20 04:26

use CXMB for 5.5 GEN . And remember also to use the official decrypted prx files of this CFW.

# DragonKillla70 2009-11-21 06:50

I can`t boot to recovery menu when switching on PSP, I just get green power light. Any help please !!!

# ice 2009-11-21 11:52

Soul Calibur broken destiny work great on mine. i got Gen-D2 firmware and it works like a charm. great job team gen for the great work. thanks a lot.

# ice 2009-11-21 12:17

Gran Turismo works great on GEN-D2, new realesees games works like charm as well.
i.e. Jak and Daxter the lost frontier, Assassins creed bloodlines, GTA chinatown and others. woooooooooooot, thank you team gen.

# Marlon Reynolds 2009-11-23 16:17

when will someone figure out how to merge cfw with ofw so we won't need to update every 2 months

# MasteMikeGee 2009-11-25 04:55

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Demo works on 5.50 GEN D2!! pass it on

how you make it work: go to recovery menu and disable game plugins. it's that easy. hellcats recovery for example.

thanks to someone here on psphacks. that's where i read it. pass it on. alot of ppl don't know!
