PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B Released
greg | July 2, 2009
The PSPGEN posse has released the next iteration of their Custom Firmware: 5.50 GEN-B. Current 5.00 M33 users — you’re missing out and perhaps acting a bit stubborn — you may as well bite the bullet and just upgrade. Access to the PlayStation Store alone is worth it; check it out…
What you need:
- A PSP-1000 or PSP-2000 v1 or v2 already running Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-A. DO NOT attempt to install this on a PSP-3000 or any PSP with a TA-088v3 motherboard.
5.50 GEN-B [translated] changes:
- Bug fix: the VSH menu can now be disabled
- Pressing Select can start the recovery, bring up the VSH recovery menu, or do nothing at all (for those who wish to use Remote Play between their PSP and PS3)
- Update via Network (taken from M33)
- * That Evangelion Jo game we told you about; it can be launched & played now
- Pandora (converting the battery to/from the Pandora-state) and Shutdown Device options added to the VSH menu
- Flash1 format option adds a check that prevents a flash1 format if enabled
- Access [remains open] to the PlayStation Store and Remote Play continues working
* Playing Evangelion: Jo without having to patch the ISO is a bit unstable. This is more or less a proof-of-concept to bypass the newly introduced CFW check. Proper details on countering this protection will be released later. For now — very quickly press Triangle & Circle when starting the game. It should work.
Once again — props to the GEN team. Nice work.

Way to go!
Love your stuff.
Thanks for another sweet release.
Will report any errors, if found.
i install 5.50gen-b iso games work my software 1.5 nothing works acc mp4 dont work recovery to 1.5 dont work the select menu have a pandora is not safe to give psp to idiots or a kid to 12
hey do you have dayviewer v5 in psp slim 5.50 mee gen b full
Ive gone from 5.00M33-6 to 5.50 Gen-A easy, no problems, then I went from Gen-A to Gen-B and only some of the things that were added work, network update in the recovery menu still says NOT YET and I cant change it, i cant bring up the VSH menu via select botton (but i could in Gen-A) but my firmware says 5.50 Gen-B (FULL) and i cant reinstall it in any way, is there any way to fix this? PLEASE HELP!!!
go on your recovery menu then into config then go down and enable the vsh menu, its set disabled stock on gen-b.
forgive my ignorance but how do you “go on your recovery menu”?
hold down r trigger while turning on psp ;D
lol nice. just do wat The1CR3W said
ok
so mine is a gen b full and da options for vhs menu is to recover vhsmenu or disbale. those are the only options ):
help!
ok
so how come i cant go on playstation network ?
Hey I have a question, I have the 5.00 M33-1 and i want to play Disgae 2 and more upcoming sweet games but i keep getting erros for Disgae 2. I was thinking about updating to 5.50 GEN A and then B, however i used the Pandora Delux program to make the magic stick and put in the 5.00M33-1 firmware. How do i put in the program the 5.50 GEN so that i can load it onto the magic stick? i really want to play the new games coming out. But i don’t know how to update besides using the program cos is nice and easy.
HEY I HAVE FIRMWARE 5.50 HOW HO I ADD Custom Firmware 5.50A to my psp?
ps. im new to this can i do it without a pandora battery?
No. The firmware doesn’t matter, I myself downgraded from 5.50, to 5.00 m33-6. But if you have a PSP-3000, or a PSP with a TA-088v3, don’t try to do it. As for doing it without a pandora battery, since you’re on 5.50, it’s impossible. If you were on 5.03 or lower, search YouTube for how to upgrade without Pandora.
if you dont know wat a TA-088v3 motherboard is, just look up on youtube how to open ur psp and if you see TA-088v3 on your motherboard then don’t install the CFW
can you play iso/cso??
What are the benefits of CF 5.50 GEN-A/B over my current M33? Just wondering because if it only lets me play the new games, than meh I can live without it
And the PSN, and the info board, and Trend Micro, and extra info for camera pics..
i agree with you. I mean I run 5.00 M33-6 with the ultimate VSH menu. I already get the same features and a proven system. They might not be on top of every update but heck i care more about stability than anything.
M33 is taking a break do to exams… so it is not they are not in top of every update. The team is on break.
the team?
M33 is composed of more than one guy?
nice :)
could u plz tell me how to install 5.00 M33-6?
how do i install the firmware?
you did just read it right
pandora installer/reverter is enough for me
I have been using 5.50 Gen-a and have been very pleased, keep it up guys.
yeah gen has been really stepping up in dax absence
now i just need to convert my themes somehow
Does the pandorization work with Slim batteries as some other tools do?
This will work for converting themes.
Here:

i could just get some ps1 games with popsloader. No need for the playstation store. Unless new games like dissidia dont work for me, ill skip on this thank you.
I agree. Currently playing FF7 (disc 3)
running 5.00 m33-6. Popsloader works just fine. I think I’ll just pass on GEN-A/B/C/D, whatever comes along, and stick with DAX.
That, and I’m not sure if my slim has a TA-088v3 motherboard… o.0
The more general way to find out is what color it is. The God of War, Star Wars, Madden, or Daxter psp’s just about always work and about half to a quarter of black psp’s work. This is because black psp’s are the only ones that are constantly made.
Who had a emulation problems with PSP-1000 in GEN-B?
me! help i really wanna play my gba games!
YES YES i have emulation problem on 5.50 gen-b!!!
im on a psp phat and gba emulators just dont work!!
NO gba emulators work. with gpsp i keep getting a sysem buttons.prx error and it jus closes
Yay, now all the great features of 5.02 GEN-A have come to 5.50 GEN-B
Does popsloader/CXMB work with this version? Also, I want the 1.5 kernel. Does this have it?
I have problems with emulation now on my 1000. ISO’s wont load and half my homebrews as well.
How do I revert back to Gen-A?
hellcat recovery latest version support 5.0m33-4
Irshell doesn’t work with this, does it? Cause if it doesn’t, there’s no way I’m “upgrading.”
no it doesnt. almost all homebrews dont work on it.
ill use it on my slim when irshell works on it. however i’ve been using gen-b on my phat since it came out.
props to the gen team.
that disable select menu is very nice. since i had to quit using m33’s vsh menu because i use remoteplay.
im stubborn m33 user! :) ha
for some of us who dont have a ps3 yet
how do u enable vsh menu
you go in the recovery menu under configurations you should see it
and under m33 update it says (NOT YET)
spooky
The main factor regarding upgrading is losing my custom theme which I am rather attached too. heh
Bah, Crack it for the 3000’s damn monkeys >.>
Ngee~. . . . Finally, gen-b has released for. . . . I wanna try this on my psp 2000 with cfw gen-a. . . . . Hahahahaha, sounds like a plan. . .
For anybody that uses Torch’s Lockdown plugin, it no longer works under GEN-B. Also, if present in your flash when you install GEN-B it will brick your PSP.
LEDA doesn’t even install anymore, let alone not work. Hopefully PSPGEN will address this issue, or release a 1.50 kernel patch.
lockdown v3.0 works… just NOT the latest version v4.0 or lockdown xmb style
do the pops for 5.50GEN-A work on this??
if not i won’t upgrade
i tried it and didnt like it, i would use it if Game categories revised v3 worked on it, because i have so many games/apps its hard to find anything.If anyone can like hex-edit the prx to work on 5.50GEN-B please send it to me!
NVM POPSLOADER FOR 5.50GEN-A WORKS ON THIS UPDATE CURRENTLY PLAYING RESIDENT EVIL 3
I’m A Stubborn M33 User.
I’m keen to move from m33. But does GEN-B include the new super-speed stuff that’s in the latest m33? There’s no mention of this, so I’m not sure if I should upgrade or not.
no speed hacks in gen. its lame
yeah! that MS speed up in 5.00 M33 is great! it saves about 2 seconds per loading in DJMAX!
I just upgraded from M33 to GEN B and love it.
I Still Have M33 cause it is the only custom firmware i have ever know to actually work really well can someone tell me what are the benefits and downfalls of updating to this new firmware and if there will be and new M33 updates anytime soon
I THINK DAX SAID NO MORE M33 CF’S??
but 5.50GEN-B let’s u play the newest games, access the playstation network,install micro anti virus,create sub folders,and play homebrew psx n iso’s+cso’s
OK, finally decided to move on over to Gen instead of M33, can’t send the noobs over until I’ve used it myself now can I?
This allows sub-folders???? I had used a plug-in before that allowed sub-folders but was very buggy. I might jsut be crazy enough to go all the way back to 1.5 kernel and used DevHook so I can keep M33 but also use 5.50 GEN-B. Or maybe I should just take the darn plunge and hope for the best (but first remake my pandora’s battery(softmod)…) .
whats up with the no 3000 capability make it for the 3000 model already
Jeez.. Someone needs to learn some respect.
Its not on 3k because the pre-IPL hasn’t been reverse engineered yet. As soon as that happens, it will be incredibly easy to do.
If you’re not helping to discover the IPL, DON’T BITCH ABOUT HOW LONG ITS TAKING TO DO SO. Its a complicated process and even the slightest bug could cause bricking, which you’d then bitch about also. SHUT UP, BE PATIENT, IT WILL BE READY WHEN ITS READY.
or how about FUCK YOU, we’ve been waiting for fucking ever for them to do the 3000’s and we’re tired of you whiny little 1k and 2k pickle fuckers saying “oh wait wait wait. WEVE BEEN FUCKING WAITING, UNLIKE YOU ASSHOLES WE GOTTA PAY FOR GAMES WHILE WERE OH SO PATIENTLY WAITING SO FUCK OFF
We’re whining? Do you even read what you type? It’s not our fault you just “had to get the newest and best” version of the PSP with subjectively a crappy screen. As technology advances, protection advances as well. I’m assuming if you wanted a hacked psp you knew that bit of information. And bitching like a pirate isn’t going to help you. You give adopted kids a bad rep.
How about you shut up with your idiotic elitest attitude.
You can’t buy a new psp 2000 or 1000 anymore.
Chances are he didn’t “had to get the newest and best” as there was no other choice. And don’t give me any used console crap either, that’s second rate scratched up junk that no one wants.
So shut up and realize there’s a reason everyone is complaining about there being no hack for the 3000.
Also that post of your SO counts as whining.
PSP 3000 at wal-mart… almost $200
Used PSP slim or phat between $60 an $80
new shell online between $16 an $25
then you have a psp WITHOUT a scratch on it, that can be hacked. still for about $100 less then tha crappy 3000.
Do your homework children.
Used PSP systems run for more than that depending where you go… The cheapest you can get is a cracked screen one on ebay and those run from 50-300$. Then you have to buy a new screen which is another 60$ and a new shell which is 25-30$. Your total then would be 140$ plus shipping and handling minimum. It’s much more worth it to buy a brand new one. Plus even with your way Used PSP’s don’t run for that little in very many places so idk where you’re shopping and the screen could be scratched also ending up costing you extra money. So dude shut up and let these people do what they want. The 3000 are the only things you can buy right now that you know are going to work without buying unnecessary parts. So again shut up and put up all you 3000 haters.
Don’t like not having CFW on your 3000? Go reverse engineer it yourself then.
No? Then go suck a fuck and wait.
You know why no one has made you CFW? Because they don’t give a shit about you. So unless you’re going to code it yourself, you should probably just get over it, huh? WAHH IT’S SO UNFAIR I CAN’T STEAL GAMES!!! Whiny baby.
I’m stubborn m33 user lol. m33 goes way back and gen is still a baby compared to it maybe when the psp go comes out there will be a sexy m33 to go with it
Okay my question is if i can create a pandora battery with GEN-B, will it work for my psp3000 with a pandora’s battery and the necessary files on the mem stick? Sorry so noob but im buzzing @ the moment and am trying to figure this S*** out… Thanks!
-xXNiTeEyEzXx
Do not use a pandora battery on a 3k. It does not work.
Your best bet for the PSP-3000 is the custom firmware called 5.03 GEN-A. Google PSP 3000 hacks. (As someone mentioned earlier, a pandora battery will not work).
this isn’t directly related to this version but…
I have my PSP 3000 running gen-a and I was wondering if I could still make a pandora’s battery using similar software to this. Because my friend has a bricked PSP.
Thanks in advance :)
YES!, not sure if it could make pandora battery!. but make sure it was not TA-88 v3 or PSP BRITE(PSP3000
and you know if it couldn’t make try to revert back to Chick Hen R2 or CFE 3.50!..
could the newest anti custom firmware games work?
this CFW SUCKKKKS!!!!!…it freezeees and gets terrebly sloooow…and it doesn´t start anything…all I get Is Black Screeeen!!…do not Update to this!!…i´m BACK ON M33…puuuh
Hey how did you revert back to m33 i tried googling it but some weird stuff came up and I’m still kinda new so i don’t want to do anything without guidance for fear of bricking it or something
Thanks
PSN Store access? I’m using a Phat PSP w/5.0 M33-6 and have had access to the PSN store since it was integrated into the software. In fact, I bought Patapon 2 and downloaded it directly from PSN onto my Phat PSP w/CFW. If this isn’t supposed to happen on a PSP w/CFW, how the hell am I able to access PSN from my PSP w/CFW?
When is the last time you tried to access the store? I had access on 5.00M33-6 for awhile and then I saw the post on here and checked and it said I had to update.
Good call. I just checked I and got the Update error as well. Couldn’t have been more than a week or so ago I was able to login. I haven’t really gotten much from the Playstation Store as it is anyway. I’ll stick with what I’m using for now.
I tried it out. I prefer my M33 system. I get my Ultimate VSH Menu, it is more plugin supported, and of course it is a classic.
will this work on my psp-2001?
Hey did you ever find out if we can upgrade our PSP 2001 running 5.00 M33-6 to 5.50 GEN-B?
So i am missing out on… buying games, movies, and such from the psn store? No thanks.
Oh… Shits happen all the time and this is one for this shit’s I’m talk about.
Just stay on m33 and if the game is not start in SONYNP driver just switch it to M33 and all gone be fine no need to bore you brain and sunny days with “how to” , “my PSP is Brick” and etc.
Just don’t worry BE HAPPY . DAX is LIVE ;)
Question before I upgrade from 5.00 M33, are programs like PSPTube or the CFWcheat compatible with this?
I woul like to know how to get CFWcheat to work with this too thanks
yes psptube works but i dnt know if CFWcheat is compatible
The only emulator that works with Gen B is picodrive. No others work. PSP Filer and other programs are a no go too. ISO’s work fine, though. Any idea how to get them working again?
[PSP Filer Ver.5.4.Kernel 3] works on my PSP 2001 though. (5.50 gen-b of course)
Tried Gen-B, Watched my games lag. Went back to M33-6. That is all.
ya it’s pretty slow all my emulators n isos work idk wat kinda problems ppl are having?
i am running 5.00 m33-6 and am able to connect my psp to the network and media go. its because i dwnloaded the psn version of ff7 and i had to be a version txt file in my flash 0 which says i have a 5.50 psp. so hahaha i can stay on my 5.00 m33-6 which is SUPERIOR!!!!
i meant to say i had to put a the version file n i owe it to the guy that i dwnloaded ff7 from on pspiso 5.00 m33-6 for life til a new version is needed or has cool shyt.
have you idiots forgotten re-clock to 333 after going to gen b. maybe thats why your games are “lagging.”
I like how your question which calls people idiots ends with a period.
your am clearley integgilent?
Was the 1.50 kernel add on ever released for 5.50 GEN-A or gonna be for 5.50 GEN-B?? Has anyone seen it anywhere if it has been for 5.50 GEN-A?
hello guys , im new to psp.
i just updated my psp to 5.50 version from 5.00 m33-6,n its original not a CFW.I had many games in my iso folder n now i can not access them,neither i can access the recovery menu. I think that this is cuz i dont hav a cfw.
please help me n tell me wat 2 do?
if i want to download any custom firmware it says that an alredy running cfw is required.
You’re going to need a pandora battery and “magic” memory stick to downgrade your psp back to firmware 1.50 and then upgrade back to a CW. Google it.
Well, if you have a PSP that is incompatible with the Pandora, you are out of luck, until another exploit is found.
(Late model PSP-2000 were able to have cfw installed, but the Pandora Battery doesn’t work.)
Although…I am thinking that Sony still has a way of unbricking PSPs…and I have a feeling it is similar, but now encoded much better.
How do you get your psp to have 5.00 m33-6 in the first place? If you had some1 help u before, then ask that person again?
HAHA lol your fucked! joking google how to hard mod mod a pandora batery and make a magic memory stick.
i want to go back to 5.00 m33-6 (the cfw) from the original 5.50 . how can i do that?
You’re going to need a pandora battery and “magic” memory stick to downgrade your psp back to firmware 1.50 and then upgrade back to a CFW. Google it.
Hint: Some online retailers sell the pandora battery if you can’t create one yourself. Also sites such as craiglist have people advertising psp mod services if that helps.
*craigslist is what I meant.
ocstem
custem frimewhere for psp
Does anyone know if the 1.50 kernel add on was ever released for 5.50 GEN-A or gonna be for 5.50 GEN-B?? Has anyone seen it anywhere if it has been released for 5.50 GEN-A?
I am new this these kind of things i would really apprieciate if someone could help me out on how to install al these kind of firmwares and eboots, thx! plz email me: speed_master3@hotmail.com i would really appriciate if someone could give me some steps on how to do this
STUBBORN 5.00m33-6 user
EVERYONE, DO NOT UPDATE TO 5.50GEN-B if…
1. YOU ARE RUNNING 5.00M33-6
2. IF YOU USE A PHOTOFAST CR5400 DUAL MICROSD ADAPTER
3.IF YOU LIKE YOUR CUSTOM THEMES
4.IF YOU LOVE YOUR HOMEBREW
in fact
DO NOT UPDATE AT ALL. IF YOU ARE RUNNING ANY OTHER FIRMWARE, UPGRADE TO 5.00M33-6.
5.50 is buggy, lags and is just plain gay.
People who use dual microSD adapter like the photofast disable magicgate to avoid sony’s lag bug. YOU CANNOT DO THIS IN 5.50GEN-B. YOUR CUSTOM THEMES DO NOT WORK WITH GEN-B. YOUR MEMORY STICK IS SLOWER IN GEN-B. WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT TREND MICRO OR EXPANDED MENUS?
ONLY UPGRADE IF YOU WANNA PLAY ONLINE LIKE….EVERY DAY. OTHERWISE, DO NOT UPGRADE.
WAIT FOR ALMIGHTY DARK ALEX
ALL HAIL DAX
you said it yo, damn straight!
(convinced)
Staying on M33.
I’ll wait for their new release :D
I have 5.50 Gen-B and all my emulators work as well as CWcheat. I have no problem with lag. Keep up the good work Gen.
Fuck you, your a prick :D
you have “5.50 Gen-B [FULL]” ?
i do and i’ve only managed to get NesterJ 1.12 and Picodrive running… no luck at all with snes9xtyl… any pointers?
do your snes, or gba emulators work?
Picodrive and nester work on my 5.50 gen b, not too impressed with it though. Can’t get any demos to work. download fine but don’t work.
I love my antique fat PSP-1000 running 5.00 M33-6. I usually wait after a new CFW release to make sure all the bugs/updates are worked out. Still thankful for all CFW creators though.
GO DAX! middle finger to gen fuck off GEN. (lol im a stubborn m33 user).
Hey everybody, I am extremely indifferent.
all yall are hatin on Gen and for now reason!!!!!
its good stuff and its getting better. Yeah, I had m33 and I liked it a lot but I have Gen now and its like amazing. Only thing missing is MS speed and I really couldn’t tell the difference when I had it on and had it off. Don’t talk bad about Gen unless you had it and tried it for a week or two. I’m not disrespecting m33 because I know they are great but you need to give Gen a try and you can always use Hellcat’s Recovery to go back. Don’t hate, just appreciate until you try it.
is ther a way to downgrade to 5.00m33-6 id rather be able to use my favorite theme than psn
i just upgraded from m33-6 to gen-b so i could keep getting my R:R online fix.. gotta say, if you have a fully functional m33 setup right now, and you don’t do online gaming, KEEP THAT! the emus seem to be a bitch to get going again and on the whole my XMB is somewhat laggy (CPU=333). if someone gets snesx running on gen-b maybe i’ll change my tune; for now, i’m kinda wishing i hadn’t bothered.
I´ve got a problem:
I´ve installed gen-b with success.
but after rebooting, nothing happens by presse4ng . Is there no vsh anymore? do i have to activate it anyway?
plz help!
sry theres a problem
4ng= select
sry
i hope every idiot re-checks their recovery menus before complaing because this works fine
Anyone able to get cps2psp to work on this? Tryin’ to holla at some Marvel vs. Capcom and no dice… In fact, does anyone know of a newer/better emulator than the one that came out two years ago?
P.S. Anyone know how to play MvC2 on a Phat too, by any chance? Thanks!
After a few days of using 5.50 GEN B (full), I must say I dislike it at this point. No disrespect toward the developers, though. You’re putting hard work into this, but it needs a little more to be up there with M33. I just reverted from 5.50 GEN B (full) to 5.00 M33-6 last night. Boy… that was hell; reverting.
Ya dude it took me A LOT of time to figure it out, for me at least. I had to use a pandora since Hellcat’s wasn’t working.
M33 Iz The King for ever that gen piece of poo is not all good still not done for those who are stubborn M33 users stick whit it for a min they will find the problem out and fix it then it will be M33-7 or some thing like that dont feed your psp some thing nasty when m33 iz yumy for your psp and it wont get constipated and die like GEN ;)
this ver. still got many bug can play psx game and homebrew game + hard to make many other app
Hey i just updated from 5.00 M33-6 to 5.50Gen-b, but i want M33-6 because i use the emulators…how i got back? please help!
Use the feature from GEN B to make a soft mod pandora and turn ur mem stick into a magic one. Then, use the pandora you made and the stick to get your old cfw back. Then, use PSP Tool to turn your battery back to normal. That’s what I did. I only had 1 battery.
Have a Pandora battery thats all you need G and just hit up you tube for that sh*t unless you already know how or just go to pandorasales. c o m they got some good deals there or you can just convert a spare battery into a Pandora which evers easy for you
With all these emulator issues you think that, i dunno, the GEN-A/B developers would have perhaps tested the most common ones to see if they still work and perhaps put a note saying they did, or did. Instead they seem to produce this shit like microsoft produced Windows ME. I dont know anyone who didnt go back to Win98SE or up to Win2000.
if they did, or didnt, stupid effing micro-keyboard.
With gen be I get a BSOD when I use the internet. I`m going back to M33-6
Well i tried this out & its not to bad at all but the slow mem card speed was not for me,so I agree with dudee on this one….
For some reason after successfully installing 5.50 Gen-B and going into recovery mode later and exiting, Netfront Internet Browser Beta 4 w/HighMemoryMod starts up every time I turn on the PSP and even when I try to exit Netfront, the browser restarts. I can disable the plugin to stop it but it’s very inconvenient. Any idea what the problem is? I have a PSP-1000.
To all for the users out there.. Just tried this out.. With no disrespect to the creator of GEN B.. I recommend NOT updating unless you play online always..
5.00 m33-6 is still the best.. I suffered a lot on reverting back :p.. so unless you really want to play online every day.. Go update.. but if you don’t.. Don’t even bother updating..
Dont update to GEN-B. there are too many bugs with emulators and others apps.
GEN-A however works fine with your emulators, apps and new games.
But if you dont intend to play newer games like MHFU or resistance stick with m33 as it most know it works better.
HEY,GREAT STUFF….JST DAT EXCEPT D PANDORA BATTERY CONVERTING AND REVERTING.DEREZ ISN’T MUCH DIFFERENCE WITH (M33)..,NWAY KEEP UP D GOOD WORK……SAFE
ive updated to this…]
i dont like it..because some of great homebrews not work.(iR Shell specifically)
Can i downgrade back to 5.00m33-6 without pandora?????
i am 5.50 software with slim will there be aCFW be coming out soon?
i recently upgraded my psp to 5.50 GEN-B but accessing my cwcheat isnt working. does anybody have solutions?
Yeah, turn the psp completely off, hold R, then turn the psp on while holding R.
Now go to plug-in, turn cwcheat on.
cfw 5.50gen-B will work on the psp 3000 all you need to do is alter the cfw a bit and you got it and you will need softwere that will open a eboot and you will can alter it and put it back to in one file and you can install it on the psp 3000 and win you have a full cfw working psp 3000 a pandora battery will work on the cfw psp 3000 if you go back to your old fw it will not work and if you brick your psp 3000 some times you can not unbrick it
and i will not till how to get it working on the psp 3000
it is so vary easy that the gen pips can do it for you if they did not do it for you all now they are not going to so do it your self and and have the fun ass holes
There is a definite problem with 5.50 gen-b and clock speed with games downloaded legally from PSN. Seen with R:R, Syphon Filter Logans Shadow, Ratchet and Clank etc, the fmv is stuttery as hell. Reseting the flash, changing the clock speed to 333 make no difference. Using Hellcats Recovery (which for everyone who wants to go back to 5.00 M33-6 is a great tool which doesn’t need a pandora battery, just makes sure you reset all settings during the flash when prompted.) I got back to M33 and the problem goes away. Until that is resolved I recommend everyone avoids this.
did you actually get hellcats to run because it won’t for me
Umm.. I don’t know about anybody else but I can’t see my Pictures in my PSP without having it freeze.. I am running 5.50 Gen-B Slim 2000.. So Yeah.. Helpp

How do i know which psp 2000 version is my ? And is this gen work on my PSP ? :?
will this work on a psp 2001?
could someone help me i just want to know if this would work on a 2001 slim psp?
I have 5.50 Gen-B running on my psp 2000 all my emu are running fine even my snes with np everything is working the same as all the other firmwares befor i have no problems with any emu or games they are all running i dont see what your all having problems with. I say go for it im happy thx team gen ;)
erm….i am experiencing a problem with GEN A…i am uable to update to GEN B due to the buttons not functioning….(functioning in recovery mode only)..can anybody help me?
the eboots from the psn wont load such as (final fantasy disidia) also the memory stick loading time is bugged
i have a psp 2001 its 5.50 now can i use this 5.50 gen a? will it work or do i need something , i want to play snes games
WEL. PSP RADIO and new disney hana montana radio not wory. Radio not work at all. PSN Demo games downloadet not work either. Then what is work in this FW? PSN? PSN is usless when you can’t play games from there. But today i download the hanna montana add-ons and when i start game is recognized it … this is cool. A other thig. Andy of you say write/read from Pro duo is slow. Its not true , speed is normal( PSP FAT). Emulators work great only the IRSHEL not work(unsuported FW) All other things work and the best thing new in this FW is GO! messenger icons is not awileable anymore :D sony stop this service :(. THEN WE MUST SAY THENK YOU GEN i LOVE YOU all :)
Okay seriously, this update broke every emulator and now won’t allow hellcats recovery to run so I can downgrade. I put cfw on this so long ago I don’t even remember how to downgrade the old way. If you are considering updating to this…. don’t.
I know that the gen crew does this for us and that shit is cool, but I was way better off with m33 and real as other people have asked, don’t they test this before release?
my psp slim crashes when i launch the web browser..?
oh god why did i update….this sucks compared to 5.00m33-6…well now im gonna spend two hours of my life trying to convert it bac..waste of my time..everything is so much slower here and laggy…and i could already play online everyday with 5.00m33-6..gosh im so stupid…PLEASE NO ONE UPDATE TO THIS ITS A TRICK! YA TRICK YA
Someone please make sense of this for me. I upgraded my psp from 5.00 custom firmwire to 5.50 A but at the last 83% it blacked out and bricked on me. What happened?
How to upgrade software version 4.21 to 5.03
I can access the PSN store just fine with 5.00 m33-6, I find this update quite useless
u guys rock… thanks
can i put it in my slim psp 2004 ?
has anyone using gen-b actually tried emulators?
snes – works fine
nes – works fine
neogeo – works fine
cps1/2 – works fine
genesis – works fine
ngpc – works fine
gb – works fine
no noticable lag in games…..
i’ll admit, i LOVE m33-6 as much as the next guy, but madden10 was a deal breaker for me…. 5.00m33-6 will not run the newest games….. so it’skind of pointless to hate on GEN when they offer you the future. 5.50GEN-B (full) FTW! it rules, custom themes….. who gives a sith? not i….. not i….
well, i updated to this CF and i have no regret fo it. The only thing i miss from the m33 is the snes emu and the 1.5 kernel for phat psp.
Many thank for the CF team GEN =)
did you not notice the post directly above you?
SNES WORKS FINE
some people are just sooooooooooo slow

Quickly Change 5.00/5.50 with CXMB
The goal here is to easily switch between 5.00m33 and 5.50gen while keeping cxmb and any other firmware specific plugins loaded independantly of each firmware
Here’s a link

I ain’t tryin to bitch i couldn’t write it and i’m stickin wit it…. I’m just sayin. LOL…. What up wit Version 5.55 by tha way???? I pre-ordered Soul Caliber and can’t play it…. Also When i was running 5.00M33-6 I could play that transformer game and it’s firmware update said 5.50???? Don’t know…. Check my music out lol….Myspace.com/phyastarta Peace
DO NOT UPDATE THESE CFW NOOBS HAVE NONE OF MY BOTTUNS WORKING. IVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE PSP CAME OUT NO BRICKS AT ALL NOW AS SOON AS AI TRY A NON OE or m3 MY PSP MESSES UP SO NOT UPDATE ITS NOT WORTH IT !!
I really regret doing upgrading to this from M33. While I can play my ISOs and official games, I can’t do anything with homebrew apps. I get a black screen, my memory stick lights up solid, then my psp shuts off, and I can’t turn it on for a minute or two…
Nice update >.>
(psp 1000 btw)

Hello everyone,
I’ve been researching hacking my PSP-1004 for a while now, there just seems to be to many options and details that i can’t seem to connect!
I’m currently on firmware 5.02 (updated from a UMD game disk)
I would like to download games clones (ripped copies) from the web in order to play them off the memory stick… what options do I have? will the PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-A or GEN-B work?!
I don’t use any custom themes, software, homebrew …etc, i just need a stable hacked PSP to run games I download on my phat PSP 1004.
Thanks,
dizzynoodle

I have psp 3000 on 5.03 GEN-A and it is very good just to say but only i cant get games newer then
7.30.2009 to run. It says the game could not be runned. But it is pretty good. I will try to find the update with hack when LittleBigPlanet (10.20.2009) comes out!!! LOL. If someone find an update for psp 3000 for firmware more then 5.03 e-mail me! ivandonat@gmail.com
I have a question.
My PSP CF is the 5.00 M33
Those upgrades to the 5.50 Gen A/B will be necessary to play the incoming games, or the 5.00 M33 will continue working, just that it will take a little longer to patch the new games to the
5.00 M33???
Can this firmware do the MS speed up like the 5.00M33-6 can? Or do I have to go back to the snail loading times as before?
Can i play gran tourismo or motorstorm with this ctw. When i need something else to play the games please say me what i need. thx
ey every1, i got a psp 1000 .. just the first one, a fat and i got 3.71m33 frimware and want to update with an easy installer to 5.50XGEN-B
i can see the update in my psp, and if i press on it i see alot of text and on the right side Enter and Exit
i pressed Enter and my psp froze? or something.. he didnt do anything anymore and shut down by himself
i turned on again.. nothing happened
maybe a brick :S?
Hey guys, don’t even know if the right guys will read this message, but there is a problem that should be fixed if possible.
There is a game that i want to play with stuff unlocked(Gran Turismo), so I downloaded an all cars unlocked save. When I try to load, it says “Data saved on another PSP detected, cannot load, etc” or something like that.
Is it possible to remove this nasty “specific psp system” save protection?

I’ve just had a weird thing happen… I’ve put 5.50-GEN-B on my 1004 FAT. Everything worked fine, so I then used Network Update to test it. It has somehow put the OFFICIAL Sony 6.10 firmware on, and my games aren’t showing up.
I’m not a n00b at this, done hundreds, but never had this happen. It’s not a big thing, but means I can’t play GT or NFS Shift until Friday, my lil lady has my Pandora battery, and is away till Sunday.
Is this a bug?
what games cannot be play if you dont have a gen-b?
