These two ‘brews go together like Guinness and Cristal, if you know what I’m talking ’bout… Download Weltall’s CWCHEAT and keep its cheat database up-to-date with Raing3’s PSP CheatUp. It’s the best way to cheat your way through each and every PSP game. My word.

(Dated) PSP CheatUp Screens:

You know the drill… The changes, the downloads — they all follow…

(more…)

I don’t know about you, but I’m sticking with NesterJ right now. Just the same, should you care to experiment, then here you go… Allan_Cesa’s (is that right?) PSP port of FCEUltra.

Features:

• Basic control pad support
• 44100Hz Sound
• SRAM support
• Save state support

TODO:

• Improve sound buffering/quality
• Add pad turbo support
• Improve video render speed/quality

And like demonolith says, a few notable games don’t work with NesterJ, but Captain Skyhawk, shit still kicks ass, on both NesterJ and FCEU-PSP.

FCEU-PSP v0.1

Vaseline won’t help the pain in your ass that is starting ChickHEN each and every time your PSP-3000 (or TA-088v3) is shutdown or rebooted — but Zer01ne’s Sedna will!

Simply install this plugin like you would any other and you’re set — no activation or manual intervention required… As soon as your PSP boots you’re homebrew and custom firmware enabled. However, by the looks of it, or at least what I’m lead to believe from the read me is that Sedna won’t always work: “Some Reboot/Shutdown is still executed despite the patches apply.”

That aside, Sedna does all this [French to English translated] stuff:

• Patch the Reboot of the PSP
• Patch the Shutdown of the PSP
• Hide UMD Update Icon
• Patch flash 0, 1, 2, 3 for USB access
• Redirecting the file version.txt to ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/version.txt
• Patch the blit TIFF image “blit corrupted data for file with extension .tiff”

Thanks Paradigm. Much respect.

PSP-3000 and TA-088v3 owners — it’s your time to shine… Or at least I hope it is… Yoshihiro and Team GEN have released their highly anticipated PSP Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B for all ChickHEN-enabled handhelds. It’s on you; I don’t have a PSP-3000 to test with… So whether your 5.03 GEN-B experience be a positive or negative one, I ask you leave it below.

Core features:

• Play games (UMD or backup) requiring firmware 5.50+, including 6.xx
• Play games that introduce their own cfw detection / protection
• Play PSOne games
• Access to the VSH and Recovery Console

Known bugs:

• MGS demo refuses to run
• The Recovery mode menu is “mixed”

Keep in mind: you need a PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with the TA-088v3 board. Your PSP also needs to be running [official] firmware 5.03; this is required for ChickHEN.

Take a break from that Kit Kat bar and upgrade to Game Categories v9. It adds this new categorization mode called “Content Browser” that is no doubt, in my opinion, the best mode. It’s so seamless, so fine — Bubbletune’s Game Categories v9.

Trick or Treat? PSPGEN decided on “trick” and made a ghost of 5.03 GEN-B for ChickHEN and PSP-3000 owners. Scheduled for release today; however, the GEN team encountered a last minute bug and is now working to correct this. The bug –

This is not a problem with the CFW but a recovery bug. If you remember, the recovery of 5.03GEN-A already had a problem: all option lines were shuffled. The correction of this problem comes with another bug in some options like the “use version.txt” which doesn’t work anymore and prevents the launch of the MGS.

Ah well… Ya win some; ya lose some. Check back tomorrow for a possible evening release. Happy Halloween!
