5.50 GEN-A Out

[bbqeggs]

I have a PSP 1001 with 5.00M33-6. I have bought ff7 from PSN and it says to get 5.50, I edited the version.txt to be 5.50 and enabled the use of the version.txt, but I'm still having problems. Would updating to 5.50 gen-a allow for me to play my ff7?

ff7: Req 5.50
5.50gen-a= 5.50 CFW
in short, yes

Would I loose any benefits by going from 5.00m33-6 to 5.50gen-a? Would it be a wise decision? And if I don't like it can I go back?

[CSM101]

all you might loose is the use of some plugins, but other than that, nothing is really that different.
and yes, if you have a pandora battery, you can go back

You can also use a little thing called Update Trick 2.0. That way you can keep using all your plugins. I have no problem playing FF7 from the store and I am running 5.00 MM3-6.

The Update Trick tricks your PSP into thinking it's running 5.50. It is automated so you don't have to flash out your version TXT.

English Instructions

Insert "Update Trick 2.0" folder into your psp game folder

Start the homebrew app

Pick the first option where its says 5.50

after that wait till the bar is finished and then press O then your done

enter the recovery menu and enable version.TXT

Your PSP now simulate 5.50 while still being on 5.00 m33-6


Note: Update Trick 2.5 has been released but I haven't tested it yet so I'm not going to recommend it.

Only DaX knows. I hope so. The "Trend Micro Security" sounds cool.
