OFFICIAL REPORT
SONY’S ARCH_NEMISIS, SIMPLY KNOWN AS DARK_ALEX – WHOS REAL NAME CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED FOR LEGAL RESONS – WAS A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT (SCE), SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROCESSES DIVISION.
HIS OCCUPATION WAS TO ATTEMPT TO BYPASS THE SECURITY SYSTEM OF THE PLAYSTATION PORTABLE AND PROVIDE REPORTS ON HOW THIS MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY HACKERS AND SOFTWARE ENTHUSIASTS.
ONCE HE HAD DISSASSEMBLED THE PREVENTION CODE, HIS SERVICES WERE NO LONGER REQUIRED BY SONY WHO REFUSED TO CONTINUE TO HIRE HIM FOR ALLEGED FUTURE CONTRACTS AFTER BEING PROMISED A PROMINANT POSITION WITHIN THE COMPANY IF HE SUCCEEDED IN ‘HACKING’ THEIR CONSOLE.

"***Install 5.50 GEN-B2 directly on your already hacked hand held,*** or modify your existing Pandora setup to install 5.50 GEN-B2 instead of 5.00 M33"
But here on the main page it doesn't say that. So my question is simply this -
Do you OR do you NOT have to upgrade to 5.50 GEN-B2 through/with the modified Despertar del Cementerio v8 setup? Basically will it just upgrade right from the XGEN Updater V2 from the XMB?
I ask because the readme file is a bit "translated" and not exactly clear.

I've renamed the file 550 to 550.pbp and I'm not sure where on the ms to put this. I've just left it in F:\ (on the memory card)
I've put the eboot file in psp/game/update
And then that's it. Not sure where to go from here.
Do I need the OFW 5.5?

I extracted the XGEN updater V2 download and have these 3 files:

I know the Docs folder just has the readme, but I would like to know what to do with the other 2 files.

It works like a charm.
I'm using 5.50GEN-B2 and playing PSPRevolution.
It's a forgotten app for sure.
But everyone who misses the 1.5 kernel should really check it out.
Reply
Do you have Game Categories by any chance?
That can cause some issues.
Reply
Put XGEN in the GAME folder.
Run it.
It's that simple.
If you want to make a GEN Pandora...
Get the 5.00 update.
Put it on the root of your Memory Stick.
Get DC8.
Put DC8 in your GAME folder.
Run DC8.
Once that's finished then run XGEN and go to "GEN Pandora."
Reply
Keep your DC8 one.
Then if you don't like it, Pandora back.
I must admit, I was a GEN skeptic.
After using it for a month, I can say I like it better than M33.
Increased CXMB support, updated frequently, not to mention my 5.55 games only run on it.
It's great.
Reply
But the fact of the matter is that none of us would even look at our psp without CFW.
Not to mention coming out with four models of the same damn handheld makes me rage a little.
($249.99 for a unhackable sliding PSP with psudo-savestate support, puhlease.)

But he's moved on to bigger better things.
He might come back, might not.
We have other great developers besides DAX.
Team GEN and Yoshihiro for example have done what we thought would be impossible.
So I'm sure a new CFE will come out.
By Dark_Alex?
Seems unlikely.
But hey, what do I know?

If Sony had hired him,
they would have known who he was.
If they knew who he was, and he actually did that...
He would be up against some serious shit.
i.e. "Cyber Terrorism"
That's at the top top of the list of shit not to do.

A.) Wasn't patched, or patched improperly.
or B.) The iso is corrupted or incomplete.
Try re-ripping it, (If it was your UMD.) or redownloading the iso.

XGEN INSTALLER -> Flash Install CFW 5.50 GEN-B2.
1. It extracts PRX...
2. Loads Sony updater
3. PSP 2000 Detected
4. "Now load all modules from UPDATER"
And then it crashes and my PSP turns off... any ideas??
Thanks...

Just extract it to a memory stick just as it is in the "xgen-v2_1254337544.zip".
And run it from the GAME option on you PSP's XMB.

X:\550.pbp

Make sure it's exactly like that and you didn't copy any extra layers of subfolders or something.

And for everyone else afraid of GEN, I'll say this:
- YES, all your games will work
- NO, you won't miss out on anything, EXCEPT the MS speedup hack, and that is ALL
- IF you have homebrew that doesn't work, UPDATE it. Only very old homebrew doesn't work on GEN, and every worthwhile homebrew has a compatible 3.xx+ version

The new games REQUIRE 5.55-6.00. Games like Gran Turismo, Motor Storm, Disgaea, Dirt 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Naturo, etc...
At some point, you're going to have to upgrade! The newest GEN FW is solid so no worries.

after u finish installing 5.00m33 try installing the gen.

Put the eboot.pbp file in a folder on your memory stick under PSP\GAME\UPDATE .
Put the 550.pbp file in the root of your memory stick.
Reply
After I got the unit installed to the custom firmware I tried the option to install the official 550 firmware not knowing it would make my psp unable to play downloaded games. Shoulda atleast put a warning that using that option would ruin the psp.
Well now I have to go buy a magic stick and pandora battery to get it back to custom firmware. Which I can't really afford to do at the moment, so my psp is now only good for light internet surfing since I have just one umd game.
Reply
Alternatively, find a different version of GT that's already patched. Most places should have a "fixed" or "patched" version that you can grab, which will work no problem.
Reply

You can make your own pandora and magic memory stick, BTW.
Reply
I'd think that, going by the other large number of folks just on here that are noobs to using these types of installers, that anyone smart enough to make these installers would be nice enough to warn people not to use the ofw option unless they want to screw up their system.
Before using this updater the last time I tried installing cfw was at least two years ago, maybe longer, just not something most folks do enough of to know everything, that's why apps like this were intended I'd think. By removing that one option things like this wouldn't happen to anyone.

thought u still got a chance to fix it on your own. u can still create your own magic mc using ur pc & for the pandora. . . well if u knew some1 who has a phat psp u can try making a pandora jigstick on it!

....it only works for me with 5.00-4m33. As for 5.00-6m33 i'm not to sure cause now busy playing Persona and Motorstorm. If it fail, (shutdown while updating with black screen) use Hellscat Recovery v1.50 to downgrade straight to 5.00-4m33 then upgrade to 5.50GenB with XGEN updater just like i did....good luck.

Do you have any idea what a hypocrite you are ? Custom firmware is BASED on official firmware. Cfw is basically ofw with a little twist (running code and loading backups). You, on the other hand, just want to pirate games.
PS: I'm not telling you how to get back to custom firmware paradise without another modded PSP (only if you have 5.00 ofw and mobo under TA-085v2).
Anyway. You simply don't deserve it. It's your own damn fault for updating to official firmware. Deal with it.

(1) I run a 5.50Gen-A slim, successfully upgraded from 3.71M33 > 5.00M33 > 5.5GenA.
My question is: will this updater work on my PSP?
(2) Can someone tell me the correct procedure to go from 5.5GenA to 5.5GenB and then 5.5GenB2 using the individual zip files? From what I 've come to understand I must extract the 5.5GenB files in the PSP/GAME/UPDATE directory, but when I do it, in the XMB I get a "corrupted data" thing, no matter from where I 've downloaded the damn thing. Should I keep the files from the 5.50GenA update and then overwrite what's there with the files from 5.50GenB update? Should I do something else?
Any answer to (1) or (2) would be really useful since, after the initial shock of upgrading my PSP CFW, I would like to go all the way, if possible.
Thanks to everyone in advance.

there are several steps i used to ensure this works (i started on 4.01 M33-2 on a white fat), and firstly it started with:
1. a fresh MS. format a 512MB+ MS in your PSP. it'll leave most of the folders required and will eradicate any doubt of corrupt data/structure.
2. to cover all the bases (i'm not saying which of these is correct, as i don't know) i placed the 550.PBP and EBOOT.PBO files in a couple of different places where X is your memory stick root directory (if a folder isn't there, create it):
X:\PSP\GAME\REC OVERY (both files)
X:\PSP\GAME\UPD ATE (550.PBP)
X:\ (550.PBP)
3. you should then be able to run the updater through your PSP menu through Game-Memory Stick, or, as i did, going into recover mode by (PSP off) holding R whilst booting the PSP mode and selecting to run the program from the recovery folder.
Worked great for me after several tries of other methods here. I know it's not the exact method as there are file duplications here that are not needed (i don't know where the program is looking for the 550.PBP file), but its a method that works and might save some from scratching their heads for an age.
Let me know if this helps you!
