Here’s something for all you PSP-3000 and 2000 (TA-088v3) owners this holiday season… Wrapped in a zip signed Xenogears with love — PSP Custom Firmware Enabler v3.70.

Lets just hope you haven’t upgraded your PSP past 5.03 yet; CFWE requires ChickHEN R2 (or MHUSpeed) and Sony’s official 5.03 firmware. For the moment there is no possible way to downgrade.

Xenogears also hints that interesting developments are ahead…

Stay tuned.

Custom Firmware Enabler v3.70:

• Improved uninstalling system.
• Improved the internal patching.
• Fixed internal errors.
• Code restructured.
• Patch MHUSpeed.
• Menu of change of custom.
• Mac switch menu customized.
• Menu MHUFS.

Attention PSP-3000 owners, or those less fortunate sporting a TA-088v3-enabled 2000; a new custom firmware has been scheduled for release come Halloween day. I’m talking about Team GEN and CFW 5.03 GEN-B.

Considering it’s been awhile I’ll give you a little background; you know, in case you’re new to this… Back in May Team Typhoon released ChickHEN — the homebrew enabler — enabling homebrew on PSP-2000 TA-088v3 and PSP-3000 models running firmware 5.03. Shortly after we witnessed a flurry of CFWEnabler updates from Becus25 and Xenogears, which of course, you guessed it, enabled select custom firmware features — plugins, ISOs, etc. After a few of those, Team GEN showed up, and just like a mother abandoning her newborn, leaves 5.03 GEN-A on the scenes doorstep. Becus25 and Xenogears continued on while GEN focused on other successful endeavours. Now we’re left with today and the future that is Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B.

PSP Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B will feature:

• PSP-2000 v3 and PSP-3000 support
• PS1/PSOne game compatibility
• Run protected UMDs/backups
• Run 5.55+ required UMDs/backups
• GEN VSH MENU
• Recovery in VSH

In the meantime, get a head start by downloading:

Released by bosshunter — for all the CFWEnablers out there — a patch facilitating ISO/PSX support as well as improved iR Shell stability. There are a few things you should note first –

1. The full extent of this patch only works on firmware 5.03 with CFWE 3.50 and below. CFWE 3.60 fails loading PSX titles while ISOs continue working just fine. So use accordingly.
2. Use at your own risk; this patch touches a file in flash0 that’s installed by CFWE.
3. If something goes wrong while the PRX patches the necessary files, reinstall CFWE and try again.

What to do?

1. Make sure you have:
   • iR Shell 5.0 installed;
   • A fresh install of CFWE;
   • The plugins loaded by game.txt are disabled;
   • Replaced the IRSHELL folder with the one provided.
2. Run iR Shell.
3. Open Directory View and go to ms0:/IRSHELL/PATCH/5.03/.
4. Run btcnfpatch.prx.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.
6. Wait a few seconds. You should see the screenshot above if it’s successful.
7. Re-enable your game.txt plugins.

Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN users — expect a patch soon.
