PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 MHU Released
greg | July 14, 2009
Personally, I’m sticking with 5.50 GEN… But should you wanna give this a go, then here you go — Becus25 and Xenogears’ Custom Firmware for the PSP-1000/2000: CFW 5.50 MHU. Email me when you can access the PlayStation Store and NP9660 isn’t broken. Don’t get me wrong — Xenogears, Becus25 — props. You got skills.
I recommend you pass the readme (leeme.txt) through Google Translate. Here, copy this –

nice work glad to see some another cfw. needs some fixes like greg said
This is old.
I can’t seem to post the whole translation here… :/
I will still stick to M33.
I don’t see a point to this at all.
I am a little confused here? I thought becus and xeno where only on CFW Enabler for 88v3′/3k PSP’s.
With this release does this mean it will be supported on the 2k? With an 88v3?
I wish when they posted news like this it wouldn’t be so biased >_>
No, it’s for the 1000’s and 2000’s WITHOUT 88v3 MOBO.
Sure would be nice if M33 would make a 5.50 cfw.
^wtf
is it work on psp2004
i m asking i it work on psp 2006???????
If you dont tell us if you have a v3 mobo or not, or if you dont tell us wich datacode is shown under yout battery, we cant tell you if this ‘ll work. If your datacode is 8B or lower, then yes, you can install this. If your datacode is 8C or higher then, no you cant install this firmware.
How long for TA88v3 :((
Here we go Im going to attempt to translate the readme:
What Is It?
It is a custom firmware for version 5.50.
What do I Need?
- A PSP (Model 1000 or 2000(not ta-88v3)) with the capacity to load homebrew.
How To Use
Copy the update folder to this directory on your PSP’s Memorystick: “X:/PSP/GAME/”
Download sony’s original 5.50 eboot –>
http://rapidshare.com/files/223978996/550.PBP
Copy the 5.50 eboot file to “X:/PSP/GAME/” and rename it to SCE.PBP
Launch the application under Game in the XMB.
IMPORTANT: When the application prompts you to press X, It is vital to do so as not following this will result in a brick.
Frequent Errors:
q: NP9660 does not work
A: The no-umd driver used in this CFW is M33’s No-UMD
Q: I cannot activate through the internet services.(? dunno this is as close as i can translate this messagedue to question marks)
A: In this version, this is not implemented.

**********End of translation*************
psp 1000 or psp 2000 is hackable..
better create a program for psp 3000 ta-88v3 thats will be more interesting
WTF, you’ve had enough with all the Custom Firmware Enabler releases. :| Now it’s turn for us the CFW users.
wut
“WTF, you’ve had enough with all the Custom Firmware Enabler releases. :|
Now it’s turn for us the CFW users.”
Rofl…Idk what planet that statement makes sense on, but Earth ain’t it.
While 2kv3 and 3k updates are great, not everyone has one of these. I for one do not, and none of my friends do either. It’s nice to see 1k and 2k CFW being made, and I think it would be asinine of CFW creators to ignore that section of PSP users.
To the MHU and GEN teams; Keep up the good work. I’ll continue waiting for a proper upgrade to m33-6
what is this???????this is stupid i m going 2 buy the new psp go!!
no one cares
dose irshell work
Lol I thought Dark Alex made it
I wish so…
this work on psp2004 or not please tell me
Good attempt these guys are steppin up in there work, this just needs work cudo’s to them
better use CFW5.50 GEN-A Build 4 to GEN-B
Or U3R-2 if you need the “MS Speed Boost” in .50. ;)
Why did they not post the translated readme instead of a link to a translator?
Im staying with M33. I found out if you spoof it to say 5.50 you can access the PSN store though your computer. So I see no need to upgrade.
Considering that I dont use the store and can do it through my ps3 anyways im good with M33-6 till DAX comes out with the new one.
U3R-2 is almost like M33. The only thing lacking is the 1.50 patch for the fat psp. But you can use leda anyways.
hmmmmm…. nope. not this one.
good to know we have choices though…
Okay, enough CFWs already. lets stick with M33 and GEN. theyre FINE, we dont need another halfass ripoff of Dax’s code.
We don’t need you being a dick. The more people that work on this the better…more brains on it mean more ideas.
And all you people bashing GEN and MHU need to shut your face. Some of you dumbasses are probably the same guys that were talking shit about M33 being ‘unstable’ and ‘worthless’ the whole time you didn’t think it was DAX doing it, as soon as you did, you jumped on, hypocritical jackasses.
i hate hypocritical jackasses iv been with dax sence 3.03 oe-c and now im with m33 even b4 i knew it was him just like u said joo the more brains the more ideas and who knows they could work with each other on a joint cfw in the future
and not 2 b biased or anything ill just stick with m33 sence i dont care about psn
Man, as soon as M33 came out i flashed it. and i currently have the latest GEN. but im pretty sure 2 are enough. Im not biased as ive used a wide variety of cfws, but if we have one or two stable full featured cfws then thats awesome. any more than that and n00bs will start complaining about compatibilty issues cos theyre running some obscure unsupported cfw. Just my view on things, im not trying to be a dick, just being rational. :D lmao
keep it up
where is dax anyway? hes been absent for too long now.
because he has a life
still he could let us know, that he won’t be making anything, i got no problem with him stopping his work and focusing on his life, but he has become an icon here, he is like a celebrity, he kind of has an obligation to let us know whats going on. like i said, if he wants to stop, i have no problem, life is more important than creating free programs for people, but he could at least let us know whats going on. I havent been following the scene so i dont know if he already did and please correct me if im wrong, but i dont recall him doing so.
i will stick with m33 also can u gimmie a link on how to spoof it to verison 5.50 thanks in advance and if this spoof always works i will never upgrade till dax the best cfw maker makes a new cfw (if something aint broken why fix it)
It’s nice to see others giving us more choices. I really like 5.50 Gen-B but I will give this a try. I dont see why everybody is so against leaving m33?
M33 is STABLE
GEN seems to always have some bugs
And this firmware is bugged out;
- The “Sony NP9960 -No UMD- ISO mode doesn’t works -
- The Network Update feature doesn’t works
HAHA, your completely right dime. People talked this same shit about whenever M33 first came out, saying they would never use it, why use it if DAX didn’t make it, we don’t need another maker, etc, etc, etc.
It was hilarious, and anyone thats been around this scene for longer saw it…GEN firmware rocks, MHU needs some work, but thats fine, everyone starts somewhere…
I mean seriously people, what if DAX dies, or quits making firmwares because he moves on to other things, if these guys weren’t there, you would all be screwed. All you do is leach off of everything anyways…its amazing most of you can even install it…lol
again joo so true iv been in the scene for 4 years now man just thinkin about that brings back lots of good memories a lot has changed in 4 years seems like just yesterday that i was using 3.03 oe-c and using the cheat prx 4 gta lcs n vcs
if he did quit,die or if comething happened 2 him i would miss him but looks like we got some new devlopers… keep up the good work… if i know how 2 write code well i would give cfw makin a shot
RE: Steven_PSN-14
Hence why we need dax to release a new one his cfw is always working nicely. I install the patches but never notice a difference.
hah, I bet most of you fuckers who say that this is nonsense, pointless etc can’t even fucking code Hello World. If you say that this is shit, why not shut your fucking mouth, and develop an even better one? Nobody asked you to use it, pay for it, or shit. It’s your wish, so just stfu, and enjoy it.
Anyways, great work on this guys :)
Well said. The number of fuckers complaining about stuff they believe is useless or isn’t what they were after is getting to me. No-one makes this shit for them specifically, so really they have little right to complain about it. >_>;
DAX isnt around cause he has a girlfriend, unlike everyone else. People should just wait till the next M33 comes out… or dont… doesnt matter to me.
the new game unbound glory and the bigs 2 is not working on gen-b?
how about in this cfw?
Try U3R Noobs Its almost The Same as m33
I was thinking, perhaps instead of people trying to upgrade the cfw to the latest version, why not just release a plugin on a per game basis so that if say ‘Unplayable Game 1′ comes out, the skilled people out there could make ‘Now Playable Game 1′ plugin. Regardless of the amount of people who switch over to GEN or this one there will still be a huge majority of people like me who wont because we like our psp’s to still play emulators and other things. Just a thought.
Better thought.. other then everyone suggesting “try this or try that” Try doing some actual fucking work and getting the 5.50 upgrade ready >.> Months of waiting = UN-FUCKING-HAPPY PEOPLE…
i havent yet installed this, currently stuck on 5.50 gen-b which has just about no prx compatability, whether in homebrew or regular plugins. but ill give this one a go.
yo someone answer me please!! just lost my psp got a 2001 star wars model,no code for some reason on battery to show if its hackable but it has 5.50 ofw,will this get me cfw without pandora? and like will it play iso’s or this just in the works for cfw? is there anyway to get cfw on my psp without pandora? if so pls reply by email or on here but i prolly wont c it thanks d00ds ps3_psp@live.ca
Does this cfw use the psp updater? I’ve been getting an error for like forever now using that, the only possibility for me is to flash it right away to the latest fw..but since theres no 5.50 m33 I guess I’ll just have to wait to play online..
when i downloaded this my videos are like in a slow mo motion and i cant access them but games photos and music can play what is a possible solution for this thanks.
when i play rock band unplugged and i quit the game the games in memory stick are gone but the saved data is still there what is the problem?
great work guys… but i’ll stick with m33
can anyone create a homebrew just like CFWE 3.60 it will only install CFW 5.5 in the memory for psp 1000 & 2000 running CFW 5.00 M33-6
can this load tales of vs?
i have PSP-1003

can i use firmware 5.50 ?
if this work on 1003 i want step by step
anyone help ,, this is first time use PSP
thnx,
sure go for it. done same thing myself. all fine
University exams are hard this year and we must study at least 10 hours every day in order to do well.
Listen guys, you really need to chill out. we are coming back, me and the m33 team. However you need to know that MHU is a group of people within the team of M33. The newest members with not so much of studying due to being in their first year of university. I check upon their work – however they are capable of doing it the right way. If they say some functions do not work it’s not their fault, it is the new firmware that causes it.
We WILL be back, just don’t do anything I wouldn’t do…as is brick your psp ;)
Love, Alek
wtf? is that really alek? ^^^
OMG ALEK!!!! we must spread the word!!!
