CFW 5.03GEN-B for HEN-B - Image 1 


An update just went up on PSPGen's site, and in it came the announcement that the much anticipated Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-B is in the process of being finalized. Said their teaser, "You have a PSP-3000 (or PSP-2000 v3) and official firmware higher than the 5.03? This announcement will make you happy..."

This announcement enlists the features for the upcoming 5.03GEN-B for HEN (as translated by Google):
  • Compatibility PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 with official firmware 5.03 up
  • Play PS1 games
  • Playing UMD / backup protected against a Custom Firmware
  • Playing UMD / PSP game backups and 5.55.
  • GEN VSH MENU available
  • Recovery in revised version available
If there may be contentions as to what the changelog actually does say, here is the original text from PSPGen's site:
  • Compatibilité PSP-3000 et PSP-2000 v3 avec un firmware officiel 5.03 au maximum
  • Lecture des jeux PS1
  • Lecture des UMD/backup protégés contre un Custom Firmware
  • Lecture des UMD/backups de jeux PSP 5.55 et plus.
  • GEN VSH MENU disponible
  • Recovery in VSH disponible en version corrigée

Okay, guys! We don't want to parade false hopes around here. If there's anyone who can faithfully translate that changelog and clear up the confusion as to whether or not they meant "5.03 and up" or "up to 5.03", then by all means, the floor's open.

Now, the team also says that the performance has been impressive, and their tests have yielded no issues thus far. Right now, they're going back into beta test drive, and hopefully, it'll be done in one week or less.

You've now got a new date to look forward to, you brewers! October 31, 2009, Saturday, is their target date for release. What a cool Halloween treat, eh? We'll be sure to update you on this.


Thanks to JSanity63 for the tip!

GEN to the rescue again. i'd like to thank GEN for all their hard work.

"and hopefully, it'll be done in one week or less" what a greedy thing to say in my opinion. it'll be done when it's done, you cant rush these things. glad to hear tests are going good.

How is that a greedy thing to say? There is nothing at all wrong with hoping for something. Now, if you were to say it BETTER BE done within a week, then you're being a douche.

with the possibility of it working with higher firmware than 5.03, would that mean it can be exploitable with psp Go?


   Re: Rolen47 - 2009-10-25
 » Probalby not

The PSPGO has a lot of similarities with previous models, but the firmware is probably structured very differently. You even have to download a separate EBOOT firmware update. They probably don't know much about it yet.

My French is very rusty, but I'm looking at the original article and I don't see where it says that this will work on Official Firmware higher than 5.03.

I see the word "égal" which means "equal" to 5.03... This will only work on 5.03 or lower.

i just translated it, and it means this............

 » 5.03 at most :(

"5.03 au maximum" = "5.03 at most"
Sorry, only up to 5.03.
On the other hand,
"jeux PSP 5.55 et plus"
means that games for 5.55 and later will work :)

yes, just what paulotex said...

translation from Google Translate:

"au maximum "
1. most
2. up to the hilt
3. at the outside

This is good news. But I wanna see more PSP Go hack. Can? =)

   by DSpider - 2009-10-26
 » »

They'd better test the ***** out if it. Because once a PSP with a TA-088v3 mobo gets flashed the wrong way it's game over (especially if warranty is out of the question).

Considering what happened with 5.50 GEN-C...


   Re: Silver_Infinity - 2009-10-26
 » No...

There shouldn't be a problem, as long as they don't overwrite any of the actual firmware files.

As it turns out, putting extra files in Flash0 doesn't really hurt...but modifying the existing FW files does (which standard CFW does).

pspgen says "We apology, but a "last minute bug" need to be corrected before the release of the 5.03GEN-B."

"Because of this small bug, the last version of our Custom Firmware for PSP-3000 need to be delayed in order to manage to launch the MGS demo."

"This is not a problem with the CFW to 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 does not work anymore and prevents the launch of the AMS."

"Appeared this problem yesterday night and we had to choose between a partial release, quick with a future update, or a full working release, later. We chose the last option: to release Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-B (PSP-3000) tomorrow night. We think it's sufficient to correct this problem.
We know it's a big deception for people who are waiting for it, and wish they would understand our choice and the Necessity of the delay."

 » This is the translation i got from babelfish,and believe me,it doesn't make sense..

We finally arrived here at our second setting on line of Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN and we are happy that you are also numerous to await it. The initial release, the 5.03GEN-A for HEN, date maintaining of a few months and it is our baby who had allowed the owners of PSP-3000 to reach the joys of the underground.



Our Custom firmware 5.03GEN-A made the round the world tour and even gave place to a special packaging of PSP-3000 in China (Strange: packs PSP 5.03 GEN on sale in store in China!). However, this Custom firmware presented a limitation which started to become painful for the users: it was limited to the plays intended for a firmware 5.03 for the maximum.

New grinding will be thus always compatible with the official firmrware 5.03 and will always propose all the advantages of the 5.02GEN-A, but it will offer, moreover, compatibility with all the plays normally intended for firmwares 5.55 and more. Of course, it also lets pass the plays protected like Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist and other titles having an identical protection.


Specificities of Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-B for HEN
Compatibility PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 with an official firmware 5.03 at the most
Reading of plays PS1
Reading of UMD/backup protected from Custom Firmware
Reading of UMD/backups of plays PSP 5.55 and more.
GEN VSH FINELY available
Recovery in VSH available in corrected version
The stability of Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-B is impressive and during our tests we did not meet any concern private individual. We currently polish some adjustments and return in a thorough phase of beta test which will last one week at most. This period will also make it possible our leading team to prepare the exit with beautiful tutoriels and beautiful vidéos.
