Cool, but I won’t be updating until PSN access is restored. I miss remote play over the internet.

loved thanks

Is there any disadvantage of using this instead of 5.00 M33-6?

you mean ta88v3?

Well i just updated and my PSP wont start up. The XMB freezes once the Date/Time/Battery info pops up.

Yeah it’s freezing with this update. Luckily I have a pandora, but uh, yeah, definitely not what people want to see…

If you do get the xmb hanging problem then go into recovery mode and go to advanced, then go to the bottom where it says format flash1 and reset settings. Then exit recovery and it will work, you’ll just have to reenter all your info like youve just turned it on for the first time.

Works, half minute hero unpatched, started right up, props for genC

oooo shit it freezes? i dont wanna update to that

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope they don’t keep up with the format installs for little patches like this…

Now none of my PSN games work and half my isos won’t run either.

It does not work for me! Right when my psp comes on it freezes me =(! time to downgrade!

And for the games, yeah M33 Driver wont work on anything anymore. Ive tried fullmetal alchemist, the simpsons game, katekyoo hitman reborn 2 and hammering hero and it worked on none, so for the older games just use the normal driver and the newer use the sony NP9660.

…damn, disappointment. it broke some stuff for me as well. guess ill just stick with what works for now.

Yeah, half of my ISO/CSOs won’t load either.

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)which needs 5.55 firmware, and it works fine. My iso’s are still working and all plugins still working too.

hmm won’t load half my games … . :(

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

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?

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! :)

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!

on iRShell “No disc inserted”

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

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

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

internet don’t work..

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.

Works just fine for me. Good job Team GEN.

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

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

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

Cant Run cso

works like a charm thanks dude love it

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Here, my games work.
either in iso or cso

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

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

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!!

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.

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

This is risky business.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

well, i think gen-b2 is better than that. no offense

Puro m33. Fvck you gen.

I cant even install gen-C, after click on x-gen installer, I got a black screen and it just hung there… Help anyone?

i have no problem logging onto PSN with my psp 1000 using 5.50 gen b2 i am on it right now and having no problems surfing the site on my psp

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.

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.

Does anyone know if this CFW will work with a 16GB mem stick?

i have friend who have TA-88V3 with cfw 5.51, how can i help him, my psp is good but his is not, any help?

Why in the hell is the M33 driver the only one that works with my games in B-2?

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

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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.

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..

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!

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?

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.

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!

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…

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.

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

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 :p

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

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

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.

Thks all of you :p I wait ;)

Thanks to GENyUS and Yoshihiro for the gr8 work but i think i will stick with my GEN-B2 till the PSN issue get solved or otherwise no more decrypting :D keep the good work guys you have it

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.

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.

don’t upgrade this messed up my psp

My psp is frozen at the xmb

if it freezes at the sce view,

enter recovery and format flash1

recovery > advanced > format flash1

This is why I have stuck with 5.00 M33.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

who’s dark alex? lol

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

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.

I ment to say all homebrew.

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″

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

my cso/iso wont start error (80020321)

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

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…

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 0×00000 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!!!

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

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.

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.

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

anybody else notice the Insane Clown Posse Reference? lol

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
