Take a seat PSP-3000 owners, this time it ain’t all about you… Released for the PSP-1000 (Fat) and PSP-2000 (Slim) is Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-A Build 4 from PSPGEN’s own GENyUS.
Launch UMDs / ISOs / CSOs and demos requiring 5.50 or below
Launch homebrew
Launch PSOne (POPs) games
Access to recovery mode (change CPU speed, enable/disable plugins, registry hacks, flash access, etc…)
I just installed 5.50 GEN-A on my Slim and it works beautifully. It’s simple: unzip the archive, copy everything under PSP/GAME/UPDATE to your memory stick, and run the updater from the [GAME] menu.
And another one! Xenogears and Becus25 steering clear of the drama train with Custom Firmware Enabler v3.20. Again, this enables custom firmware features on your 5.03 PSP-3000 or TA-088v3 equipped hand-held. Use it with Team Typhoon’s ChickHEN.
CFWEnabler v3.20 changes…
Now you can use plugins that are not on seplugins folder.
Now we use our own systemctrl, not GENyUS ones.
Version is now 5.00M33-6.
Native 5.03 Pops is now supported.
MS Speed Patch available.
Fixed bug that did not patch version.txt properly.
Quick Start mode (Autostart if you don’t press R Trigger).
You may remember reading this a couple months back, or maybe you don’t… Perhaps your memories are a bit fuzzy, after all it happened on 4/20. But whatever the case — watch…
Buzz’s IRDA Joy Box Project is the reverse scenario of FuSa GamePad; instead of using your PSP as a new joystick/gamepad on the PC, you’re using an old DB9 joystick (Atari, Amiga, Amstrad, etc…) on your PSP-1000. That little black box takes care of all the dirty work.
The box uses the IRDA port of your PSP-1000. You need two AA batteries to power it and once everything is set, you’ll be rocking the emulators with your old school joystick, such as PSPHUGO, PSPCAP32, or PSP2600.
With thanks to Team FuSa’s Andy_maN, you can now use your PlayStation Portable as a Gamepad for some hardcore PC gaming action. Grab your PSP, connect it via USB, and you’re in business.
It’s been tested on XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OS X Leopard. See the README for details.
Improved uninstalling system, it is now much safer.
Added Spanish language.
Added Internet Update.
Improved startup (now a little faster)
The Eboot.pbp now occupies less.
Fixed internal problems.
Topping off Sony’s recent 5.03 beat-down with a few more security-shattering blows is another Custom Firmware Enabler release from Xenogears and Becus25. CFWEnabler version 3.01 introduces PSP-3000 support; Enable most, if not all, features of CFW M33 on your PSP-3000. You’ll of course need ChickHEN R2 as well. Grab both below.

In the zip is also a CTF_converter.exe to convert 5.00 CTF themes for this unofficial cxmb
PSP-3000 and/or PSP-2000 owners with the TA-088v3 board can now load CTF themes without risk of bricking their handheld, thanks to Total_Noob’s unofficial version of Poison’s CXMB for Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A.
Total_Noob mentions 5.02 CTF compatible themes, whether or not 5.00 CTF themes are compatible, that’s a different story. Try it out and leave your experience below. We have some themes available here.
What’s the day today? Total_Noob answers in style with DayViewer BETA 3 — the homebrew plugin that adds the day of the week to the VSH. Look to the upper right of the screenshot… Yeah, it’s Saturday, somewhere…
DayViewer Plugin Beta 3 changes…
Added in the config a function to view the day left or right
If you’re looking to change, or spoof, your PSP Version and/or Mac Address located under Settings -> System Settings -> System Information, then make it happen with Davee’s latest… Released is a new version of his Unlimited Character PSP Version & Mac Address Spoofer.
