5.50 GEN-A Out

[nonpoint510]

I udpated to 5.50 GEN A and it does play my iso's. And also the plugin for VCS cheatdevice works. It didn't work for me on 5.00m33-6

y not go back to m33.... i dunno much about the GEN-A

[angel0]

i have a psp 2000 madden 09 edition, can i use cfw 5.50 gen a?? or not?

[DimDude]

What happened to M33? Is DA idle or is he gone?????!!!.

Never mind. I decompressed it into an .iso.

I just updated my old PSP to 5.50 Gen-A then to B and I was wondering if there will be a 1.50 Kernel patch released. A lot of my homebrew is old stuff like GBA and SNES emulators that require it. I wont be updating my new PSP from 5.00 M33-6 until everything works fine on my old one.

Thanks.

There's very little need for the 1.50 kernel patch as most popular emulators have versions that can run in the newer kernel modes. Just get new versions of your emus.

I finally made the switch from M33 to 5.50 GEN-B earlier today (I'll go back to M33 if DA updates or if I find some terrible issues), and I have confirmed all the emulators and homebrew I have currently installed still work:

SNES9xTYL 0.4.2 (whoever said SNES doesn't work, well, this one does! Just put it in the regular GAME folder)
Picodrive 1.51 (Sega Genesis)
Colecovision Colem port
HUE for PSP (PC Engine/TG16)
Wolfenstein 3D
Bookr (ebook reader)
NESterJ v1.12 (NES emulator)

Also, the two PS1 games I had on there still work, AND popsloader still works for me. Did somebody say it didn't? I tested it by holding R and changing between different POPS versions successfully with the game Dino Crisis.
CWCheat plugin still works too.

So if there's stuff that doesn't work, I guess I'm lucky because *everything* I have on my MS still works.

All I can say is UPDATE YOUR EMULATORS.

All in all, the ONLY thing I'm missing now is the memory stick speed hack, which does make a noticeable difference. But I think I'll stick with this to get all the online/remote play functionality back.

Interesting list. Aside from that, I need to find a GB/GBC/GBA emulator that works and I cant think of any other issues.

Is GI Joe confirmed working with this?

Do I need to register on that site. Keeps telling me I don't have permission.

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.

I hate to sound stupid but I can't get this to work, I've tried enabling version.txt before running and running then pressing O, entering recovery and enabling version.txt and I still can't make it work, any suggestions?
