No plans for custom firmware 6.00 M33 |
Ó
So official firmware 6.00 is here. As with every OFW release, there's bound to be speculation about what steps the homebrew community would counter the new protections it puts into place, and who do we all turn to but Dark AleX?
Those hoping for a 6.00 M33 release will likely end up waiting in vain, however. According to PSP Wiki and www.Dark-AleX.org admin Alek, there are currently no plans to release a custom firmware version of the latest official system update.
Here's what he posted on the PSP Wiki:
Please, don't ask here, the Blog, IRC, etc for a 6.00 M33, as it isn't planned.
Tough break. I've actually been looking forward to upgrading past 5.00M33-6. Still, those looking for their CFW fix have other avenues to turn to now.
Thanks to shadownhero for the tip!

Comments [refresh]
we will wait a bit more then.
Spelling error "I've actrually been looking forward to upgrading past 5.00M33-6." Hehe. Anyway, i don't care about m33. At least gen makes an attempt at their firmwares and thinks about us psp owners.
I'm happy with the last m33 firmware. Even if it never gets updated again, it hasn't prevented me from playing anything to date. Until that happens, I really don't care.
Relax DAX
Umm, try playing Dirt 2 or MotorStorm Arctic edge. Neither work on 5.00-M33 and more than likley, not many new releases will.
Now do you care?
I would say lack of loyalty, but he has done SO much in the past, I hope the community can let it slide.
Our hope now rests on GENyUS. I've never had a problem with GEN, I like all their firmwares, and use 5.50 GEN-B. It's just a lack of intuition and creativity on their part thats really holding them back, but at least it works and has consistent updates still.
DaX, thanks for the work, you've been great, you'll be remembered, but I think GEN have a leg up due to their abundance of free time, which I'm sure you don't have if you're still in school/searching for meaningful employment. Thanks for all the pioneer work, someone else'll take the reins now.
I guess this means I'm gonna have to go out and actually buy Disgaea 2...
oe/m33 still thinks about us..
they've been out way longer than gen
I wouldn't mind buying my games, I just don't want to go back to OFW to play newer games :[
GEN has alot of bug issues....for eg, you can't play some videos which after putting in MPROOT/101anvo1 doesn't work unlike M33.
way longer? Understatement.
Dark AleX (a.k.a. Team M33) has been out since the BEGINNING
D.A must have left the PSP. The forums are gone, no updated cfw in a few months, no PSN fix, no word from the man himself only Alek, Sceners is the only site left open apart from PSPwiki, which both Alek controlls. Everything points to D.A leaving, Alek just does not want to say. Oh well, I might, just might, have to go to GEN. I am sick of being on an old cfw when all the others are on 5.50 and above already. Now, just hope for 6.00 GEN.
I'm stuck on 5.00 M33-6
I'd like to be able to buy some new games.
GTA and LittleBigPlanet come out next month.
Meh, no new games for the PSP catch my eye anyways.
I'll just sit here and relax until something meaningful for the PSP comes along.
Thats not going to help unless you want to switch between OFW and CFW several times a day.
Whatever. There sure be alternatives later. Seriously plenty of people here treat DA as god - for what?
This post will definitely be marked down by DA fan club.
It doesn't matter if you have the UMD or not. The firmware check won't let you play it.
I've read some news on 'pspgen.com' and I can assure you that they are confident.
They have already start looking on Sony's OFW 6.00 and they even start to joke with Spanish's (Remember DAX is almost my neighbor – I'm Portuguese and he is Spanish). One sentence calls my attention: "ne cherchez pas en Espagne, ils ne savent que nous copier ces derniers temps…". This means something like: "Don’t look at Spain. They don’t realize yet that we have copy/stolen their last times…"
It’s more or less like saing: "Now we rule…"
Came on DAX show up and kick some French's boastful butts... LOLOLOLOLOL
If you have a battery and a memory stick,You shouldn't be complaining. If you really wanna play a game so bad, it wouldn't bother you to switch firmwares. People who buy the game and have CFW don't see this as a problem. Obviously you do because you pirate and don't buy?
If you play "5 games per day" 4 of them being pirated and one official. You have a descision to make. Finish the store bought game and go back to 5.00. Don't know why people are crying because they actually have to buy games their looking forward to?.... Sounds stupid.
just saying...
dude, you seriously need to GTFO of your PC
I think you'r right!!! The PC and that blue pills are killing me... LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I haven't been able to play retail versions of games since before Patapon 2 came out, but I haven't yet found an ISO that didn't run on my PSP. So I just download a game to make sure I can play it before I buy.
I'll never take my copy of Dissidia out of it's case, but it's fine there as far as I'm concerned.
guess I'll have to gaze into other horizon, welcome GEN
wait just one minute... aint dark_alek just the webmaster from the site??? he has no say if there is or not right??? if DAX dont plan on making one shouldnt he be posting it himself???
Its been strange lately, being a M33 fan saddens me to the past turn of events of my false hope of having an update to my M33 firmware 5.00-6.Alot of M33 users are turning to new light of which GEN is shining so brightly. I get all good things do come to an end,right? Hmmm well am hoping for the best as M33 fan.
M33 for life!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
I think that DaX is either part of GEN, waiting for some version 6.0x to come out, or going to release under a new name. He very specifically said there wasn't going to be a "6.00m33" release. Either it won't be 6.00, or it won't be m33, but it's coming.
He's done this before, anyway, starting with the OE releases, "quitting", and then releasing again as m33. He stopped at 5.00-6, saying that he was going to wait for another major version before releasing again. Now, we're at 6.00, and nobody can play the new games without giving up their homebrew. That security they added is a major change, and unless he leaves the scene entirely, I think he'll do something about it.
You must have an eye for detail like myself. If a game looks too poor, edgy (stair-step), or low-res in the graphics department, its no good for our sharp eyes. That sort of thing.
Oh well.. click dislike comment. Get a life while you're at it. I make a grave point for people with good eyes and introverted personality.
true blue mage dark alex has changed names before. I havent given up on m33 either but i updated to genb full on my other psp (got it for twenty bucks but the sound dont work anyone know how to fix that?) anyways i hope dark alex comes back with a new CFW or GEN makes a CFW that isnt so dam buggy and actually meets the necessery expectations.
It's not major. It's a firmware check. They've had firmware checks since 1.5X or 2.0
If DaX and m33 are waiting for the next major firmware release, wouldn't it be reasonable to say that the next major firmware release would be the one accompanying the release of the GO?
Assuming that it runs off of the same firmware as the 1000s, 2000 slim/lites, 3000s etc.
The inability to play new games truly is a need for a new CFW.
Stop failing us.
Come on, gang. Let's form our own custom Firmware team.
The 2000 was released on 3.60 so your wrong.
DaX is still refusing to update M33. He says he won't update based on useless firmware updates. That sounds like an excuse, 6.00 is out, games are left unplayable on CFW PSPs and there is a clear and definite need for a new M33.
If at this point DaX isn't releasing a new M33 it's simply because he can't.
DaX and M33 has fallen off. It's been pretty obvious for a long time now, this merely confirms it.
belive me if i knew how to do all that firmware decrypting and stuff i would LOVE to make my own CFW team and try my best at it but i dont know how to make my own homebrew and all that stuff but if someone can teach me i would love to give it a try
lol as messed up as that sounds your probably right grims he probably doesnt even know how to do it o well. we will just have to wait till someone has the guts to try
NOT INCLUDING THE STUPID TMX-1 efen noob got everyones hopes up -.-"
just update to 6.00 (provided you dont have psp-3000 or ta-088v3)
and use despertar del cementerio to emulate 5.00m33 whenever you need to play brew.
how about the fact that he basically invented CFW? if you are using any CFW at all - you can thank him, buddy.
After so many years of making CFW and of constantly being ridiculed by people for not releasing fast enough, or implementing 'X' feature fast enough for them... He probably got sick of doing it. It won't be the first time that he quite (anyone that's been there from the beginning knows that) and that's his choice. DAX did a great thing by creating the pathway for CFW on the PSP, and now that there are other sources for it I'm sure he feels like he can finally stop worrying about it.
Contrary to what you may think, DAX does not owe the community anything. It's very much vice-versa, we all owe him alot. Even if you don't use M33 CFW, the person who made it was influenced by DAX at some point. Without him and his motivation, there might possibly have never been CFW in the first place. So if DAX decidsed to finally put up his hacking hat for the PSP (And possibly find the time to start playing one) I think we should all give him a big thanks, and let him go in peace... it's the least we can do for the guy.
keep in mind that primary function of CFW is for homebrew.
if something fundamental changes in new firmware, like in 1.50->3.00 on 3.xx->5.00 there is no real reason to make new firmware.
just because some people cannot play warez is not a good reason for making a new cfw.
Agreed.
I have Disgaea 2: The Plush and the Harmless LE on it's way from the States, it never crossed my mind it might be CFW resistant. (Like many people here I buy everything but run it from a memory stick on CFW - just more convenient).
Might be time to turn one of my PSP's into an OFW unit, unless someone gives the ISO a patch like they did with Soul Calibur.
If only Sony would wake up and give us a digital copy along with the UMD, it'd make the Go! a lot more attractive...
M33 dont think about us. They dont care.
IF they did there would've been a 5.50M33 then a 5.55M33 and there will be a 6.00M33 but as they dont care there is nothing for the last year.
At least we have GEN that DO care about the PSP CFW scene.
That guy says that everywhere. He's a moron. I bet he doesn't even have a PSP. He sounds like a $ony rep.
Think about it, I have 5 UMDs, or a MS with all those games on it. Now which is more portable? Which makes the battery last longer? Which is faster?
I think I'll stick with my 5 ISOs and keep the UMDs at home where they are safe.
You cant blame the firmware for video faults. It's probably the video you have that's the problem.
I've got videos that I've had since 1.50 and they still work fine in 5.50GEN so it's not the firmware thats the problem.
Do the smart thing and reconvert them again properly.
So he helped make the first cfw? SO WHAT?
There are others that have made CFW too and you all complain about their work.
Where is the rest of the team that made the first CFW? They have all gone and I think DA was the last left. Now he's gone you have to worship someone else.
You aren't very smart.... The newer games REQUIRE higher firmware, so even if you buy the UMD, with the ancient fw/cfw, you won't be able to play it. There's a crapload of games that aren't playable on the latest M33, so before you do your "ZOMG PIRATES LAWL I AM A GOOD PERSON BETTER THAN YOU" bullcrap, do some research.
So I'm assuming Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals: FireTeam Bravo 3, LittleBigPlanet , Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, and a nice other handful of games coming out soon aren't good enough for your 'sharp eye'? +\
Sharp eyes my ass. You need a sharper BRAIN. Good graphics do not equal good games. How about mario, sonic, megaman, donkey kong pacman, tetris, metal gear solid 1, resident evil 1,2 and 3. I still play all these classic games more than I play current gen games. It's the story and/or gameplay that make a good game. Nice graphics are a plus, not essential.
They all make custom firmwares that are reverse-engineered M33 firmwares. Without DAX there is no cfw. He's the only one who makes near-perfect fully functional cfw's as well.
there i stopped using my psp.
im at 5.0m33 and will not update to anything other than dark alex's custom firmware higher version.
already downloaded dissida (works) and soul calibur (works)
but i think ill only play again when my psp is updated.
facebook farmville will wither my days away, until i go back to my psp.
anyways thanks to all homebrew people and their nice homebrew programs! no hate to any of you, just love and respect!
wish devhook is revived so we can emulate any new OFW.
what he is saying is if you want to play the newer games on your psp, you will have to upgrade it to the OFW version. Since that prevents you from using homebrew, you will then have to use pandora's battery to downgrade again, which is very time consuming.
I also hope someone, anyone, can make a new CFW. But usually all CFWs are just reverse engineered from M33 anyway, so I wonder if we will see another one.
"if something fundamental changes in new firmware, like in 1.50->3.00 on 3.xx->5.00 there is no real reason to make new firmware."
what i wanted to write was :
"UNLESS something fundamental changes in new firmware, like in 1.50->3.00 on 3.xx->5.00 there is no real reason to make new firmware."
you misread joseph10444's post.
he said that OE and M33 still thinks about us AND that they have been out much longer THAN GEN.
he didn't say that GEN has been out longer than OE/M33.
everyone knows whose been here since the beginning, there's no doubt about that.
Gosh, seems like people don't know how to read or try to understand what they are reading anymore.
b|ank Crossfire said if you wanna play newer games, upgrade to the latest Official Firmware and then when you want to play your homebrews or other ISOs that you obtained legally, then you can use Pandora to go back to 5.00 M33-X.
In other words, the only people who are complaining are the Pirates because they don't wanna upgrade to 6.00+ to play the latest UMD Games cause they don't buy their games at all!
get some common sense people. people like you give americans a rep, that all americans are "stupid"
well the PSP reads MP4 videos, why don't you just put it in the "VIDEO" folder which is at the root of the memory stick. it will work. you don't need to put it in the "MPROOT" folder anymore. and besides its not just with GEN, i've had that issue with OE and M33, some videos just don't work in the "MPROOT" folder. take it easy, GEN IS stable. your just being a M33 fanboy.
@ Serosis:
so no new games that are coming out "catch your eye"? thats a load of bull.
@ UltimaArmorX:
LMAO! the graphics on the PSP are not supposed to be like XBOX360 or PS3 Graphics, ofcourse the quality is going to be lower but the graphics are WAY better than on other handheld consoles such as the DS and other previous home consoles like the PS1 or gamecube.
lmao! "sharp eyes"!!!!!
it's just Alek, not Dark_Alek.
and Alek is Dax's right hand-man so Dax tells Alek what to say.
and incase you don't know Dax's other names, they are
DAX/Dax
Dark-Alex/Dark_Alex
D.A
While i only trust in DA's work, i think he is already gone from PSP community a long time ago but just like to stay because of his fame.
If new games require 5.55 or 6.00 FW and could not be patched like Zman patched Soul Calibur to work with 5.00 M33, i probably will switch to GEN :/
Idiot. Only pirates? What about all the cfwe/pandoralessofw 5.03, 2000-3000 owners who want their homebrew but would have to choose to never use homebrew again to play new psp games. they don't have the luxury of downgrading idiot. They are being asked the same question they were asked when they first bought their first psp. OFW or CFW and some (who can't buy a new psp) will have to make a choice. while its obvious that the option they chose before was CFW, this can no longer benefit them greatly at all.
Why get so defensive?
My opinion is that I can play any of those games on the main consoles so why would I fork over any money for a watered down version of it that I would probably never play?
Dissidia is about the only game I was interested in only to find out that it is another squeenix button masher, again watered down.
So you see, I'm a customer who is a little difficult to please so if you don't like it you can whine some more.
Why not just come out and Say it already,
"Dark-Alex is not going to make a New CFW"
I don't know if he's just Done with trying or Just sick of PSP. I don't know or Blame him, But i do know he's not going to make a New one So more or less you got 2 options
1. Stay on 5.00m33-6 (where right now all games New and old i like work just fine)
or
2. Update to GEN and Hope you don't get any errors that's not to bad. =P
Sadly, I think that fix was kind of a freak occurrence, helped by the fact that there was an ISO floating around that only required Firmware 5.00. I don't totally know what went on to patch that game but I'm not sure if it'll happen in the future.
I hate to say it but if AleX can't come through, at least by the arrival of the PSP Go then I'm going to have to look elsewhere for PSP Firmware updates.
lol @ all the comments such as 'not dedicated to the community', 'doesn't care about the people' etc so what, cry more cause you're lucky they ever made cfw at all in the past!
It's his choice though I feel almost like we need him more than ever in a way. All these big new games for PSP and us guys with the M33 CFW can't run any of them legally or illegally.
I had already pre-ordered LBP and Motorstorm - Arctic Edge and now I'm wondering if I should cancel them seeing as how it looks unlikely I'll be able to actually play them without having to give up all the lovely extra features that custom firmware opened up to me on my PSP Slim.
On the PSPGEN site, they have stated (in their article about 6.00) that they have no plans to release a public 6.00 GEN.
Yes I understand that the 2000v3 MoBo and 3000 users are in a bit of a pickle, but they should have gotten their PSPs sooner. The only reason most of the 2000v3 MoBo users got a PSP was cause they found out about "Piracy" and wanted to download free games. Same with the 3000 users.
As for people like me who have had a PSP since the beginning knew about CFW and all the benefits of homebrew were lucky enough to have a Full CFW on our PSPs.
And this is SONY's way of fighting piracy. And this is the point that I was trying to make, only pirates are the ones who are crying.
As for 2000v3 MoBos and 3000 users, sorry. HEN CFW can only take you so far. Maybe a Coder/Dev will be able to create a "Modern" Dev-Hok for PSPs with unhackable MoBos to emulate a higher FW Version.
See, i'm not getting defensive. I simply asked a question. Now on your first post, you didn't state that your "opinion" is that you can play any of those games on the main bigger consoles, so you were not clear.
So that is why I said it was bull. If you have the home consoles then thats fine, but don't say I'm getting defensive when I was simply stating a fact.
And BTW, i'm not the one whining, its all these pirates that keep crying out for a 6.00 M33/GEN CFW.
Read buddy.
I will be waiting for DarkAlex to release a new M33!
The Guy RULES! We should all be thankful for what he has done! We should actually collect money for him and send him some for all the work he has done thus far!
Errors? You mean like bricking EVERY time I try to install it XD. I wanted to give it a little test run, but I kept bricking while trying to install it. I like Dax's and M33's work.
I really wish a new version would come out, I mean. That would actually help $ony because then there are more people able to play it when they buy the UMD.
5.50GEN wasn't as supported as 5.00 in terms of some stuff (like themes). At least 6.00GEN will make people upgrade, so it'd get proper support. I guess I'll be upgrading from 5.00M33-6 to 6.00GEN.
Well, DaX probably saw that GEN decrypted 6.00, and that there'd likely be a 6.00GEN. He probably didn't want an M33 version that GEN also has.
Why are there some people on here that insist on making it look like ALL people that use CFW are pirates?
I for myself have a very legitimate reason to use CFW: I make ISOs out of all my UMDs and copy them to memory sticks. This makes the PSP even more portable without me having to carry the case with the UMDs around with me and risk losing them (especially on cross-Atlantic flights where it's cramped as it is). Also, until Sony blocked access, I was buying titles (4 before they blocked access) in the online-shop and find it retarded that they keep me from doing that now.
I just enjoy being able to do more than what the manufacturers thought of with my devices that I paid good money for. I can understand they're trying to keep people from pirating but at the same time, they should come up with a solution that still allows me to copy my UMDs to MS legally. Homebrew is nice too. Why not use the same approach for PSP as they did for PS3 where one can install a linux system?
Just don't generalize on here when it comes to using CFW! Not everybody uses it for financial gain. I can afford my games!
leo9891, the psp graphics are in no way better than the Gamecube. unless you meant to say the n64.
Yes, thats what I meant! lol. Now that I think of it, the graphics on the GameCube were better. My mistake.
Leo you misread he clear says "Understatement" in reference to "way longer"
The current CFW (M33/GEN) are good enough for now. Honestly, i dont get how people aren't getting the bigger picture. Besides his personal life, DA is most likely waiting for the PSP Go to be released. It's a very smart movie. I mean, why would you want to exploit the software if Sony is just gonna patch it before the Go comes out. Sit back and relax. Its not like your gonna die if you don't have it right way. It will be worth the wait.
Yea i was trying to be nice to the GEN users by just saying Errors ;) i did not say how big the errors where LOL.
And to the Users rating me Low for telling the truth HAHAHA i guess people just wont things Sugar coated for them.
(Here you go)
O i am SURE dark alex will come out with a New CFW soon, i mean he just has to rigth?..... "happy now" lol
wow... Seriously? if they really didn't care, why would they have released any type of CFW in the first place? Let alone make it FREE!? People always seem to forget that, they don't need to release any of this stuff free let alone at all, I'm happy with my current CFW PSP (5.00-6 M33), if Dark_AleX decides to stop fine what he has done is something that *NONE* of us can repay him for, and I'm happy with what I have, if I ever wanted to play any new PSP games I'll just buy a new one and keep my old PSP on CFW.
atleast I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
I've been with M33 ad Dax from my first hack on my old phat to my current slim, and pandora I use to help out all my friends.:D Thank you dax for everything you do! You have truly shaken the world.:D AMAZING job dax, and I truely hope many more amazing cfw's to come.:):):)
well maybe ps3 users (i dont have one) are like WTF dark alex you hack psp but not ps3 WTF s your problrm we need help to so maybe he still cares about us but maybes hes working on the PS3 right know cause that would be awsome my friends have been begging me to hack there PS3 cause ive done there psp and wiis already and soon 360 sometin to think about
You, and stupid $|-|Its like you, are the reason these elite teams don't release any info. They don't want people to be pressing them for updates.
And as your insolent comment about them not being able to do it....epic fail.
Not as much as your parents phailed when they tried to raise you, but fail indeed. These guys have had one of the biggest companies ON THIS PLANET, on their phucking heels for close to 3 YEARS now. How many useless updates has $ony released to TRY to combat them? I've lost count.
You should be on your knees thanking these men for their hardwork. They have given the community countless FREE gifts, and liitle snot nosed punks like you are most likely the reason they don't care to help out anymore.
Would ANYONE like to helpout ungrateful phu|
Lucky for you my post got cut short of what I had typed. Now that I've had time to smoke a bowl and reflect, I'm glad. I continued to ragg on you and pitiful retards like yourself, but I digress.
In closing, I'd like to thank DAX, and all the homebrew developers. Your hardwork, and GENEROSITY know no bounds. Your work continues to inspire me in many aspects of daily life. The diligence and thoughtfulness is almost unheard of in this day and age.
@ yamabigdog
Fact remains, it doesn't matter if DaX can or not, or if anyone can actually make it work; he isn't producing. He didn't release 5.55 when we needed that and he's not releasing 6.00 either.
As far as I'm concerned he's useless.
He did great work in the past, but unless everyone is content strictly playing games from 2008 and early 2009 then he isn't really doing us any good.
All these fools said "wait for 5.55, DaX will release it then." Then it releases and he says no. Same fools say "wait for 6.00, he'll come through then" and lo and behold, nothing. Now the very same fools are saying "wait for PSP Go, he's really gonna make it happen then!!!", well... you guys keep waiting. I'll be here laughing and saying "I told you so."
Till then I stand by my statement, DaX has fallen off. I sure hope he proves me wrong.
cfw is just for ppl who've been around since the psp 1k and 2k now. Lets face it...cfw is dying..sony*****s rejoice, no more piracy or unsigned homebrew on their console. its just a matter of time before the world is taken over by unhackable 3k's and GO's leaving the 1k and 2k's rare and obscure, i still await the day when i have to sell my 1k on ebay in order to get something better.
this sucks cuz i just bought broken destiny and i canot play it in UMD or the other way which sucks......
good thing i own 2 psp_s one with cfw and the other with boring ofw
then why the hell are you even replying to the posts about CFW users being pirates? The posts shouldn't even bother you one bit that your using your CFW for legitimate reasons. And NO, I don't really care if your a pirate or not... Those posts about CFW (generalization ) has been proven true so there is no use complaining about it anymore.
Dax is probably just keeping an eye on the so called "homebrew" community for now. Probably to see what his CFW has done for the PSP and it's games. The guy is a God when it comes to what he does but if all he sees is woe's for ISO support (legal or not) then why the hell should he even bother anymore. He made it specifically for HOMEBREW but it led to something bad instead (we all know what it is, we have all done it)
I'd gladly wait for his release, heck, take off the ISO support too. At least that's guilt off his back, I mean, if you were told that your invention or project was the cause of worldwide pirating... well, it doesn't sound so good now does it? There should be no qualms or complains right? I mean all the people asking for the 6.00 support have bought the game anyway so there should be no problem at all. It's all about HOMEBREW right?
And please don't go with the whole "I don't want to bring so many UMDs" crap... One game should be enough on the go, whoever plays 3-4 on a bus or outside, should just go and start a damn convo with the person next to you or read a damn book. GET A F.CKING LIFE or a damn UMD CASE (it's $5-10 only). Greedy Bastards.
Flame on....
Obviously. Common sense please.
And it wouldn't be several times a day, I'd switch from CFW to OFW until they update the friken FW. All I use my PSP for now is games.
ISO support is inevitable. Even if DaX did not add it, someone would make some homebrew or something else to do so.
how everyone is giving anti m33 topics a low ratings. if you're not on the gena/genb boat, then you will be when gt, gtacw, and little big planet come out and someone actually releases 6.0 cfw. m33 is dying.
that's it.
so move on.
the only thing keeping me on m33 is a working cwcheat plugin. if i ever figure that out on genb, then im gone bye bye.
thanks for being on top. but i see it's hard to stay there
I guess you did not do your homework on the GEN CFW lol as it makes more problems then it fixes Thus why Smart people don't install it.
As for 5.00m33-6 It's Doing Just Fine and ALL of the games that "did" not work before on it Now work fine, And like people have done said on here if a game comes out that can't be played on the 5.00m33-6 some one will find a fix or work around Like they do every time.
Just like to add that really, the most important CFW feature for me right now is the plugins feature.
Right now, I can't imagine myself playing PSP games without the nice features that plugins add to my PSP's life, like in-game MP3s, additional brightness (very important), RemoteJoyLite (for recording and TV-out), Hold+, etc...
If it weren't for that, I'd not really care about playing in OFW or CFW.
So, bring on the new CFW! (hopefully before or shortly after Dec. 3)
the really bad thing is - there is hardly a replacement for DA.
m33 was setting the standard, and other cfw groups were following it. almoste every custom firmware followed m33 feature-wise.
now most remaining groups are struggling with hacking the new firmware. i'm guessing there are big changes in features and security of 5.55/6.00. or the homebrew community was too reliant on DA, and now severely lacks skilled homebrew hackers.
itsgoing to be EXTREMELY hard to find anyone close to DAX he was a god of CFW hopefully something good comes up till then we'll just have to wait.
the closes anyone has gotten is GEN-B2 and their not as good as DAX
in closeur thank you DAX for everything you have done because of you i can play my favorite ff games for ps1 games and all those awesome apps that you opened up in the CFW community thank you.
maybe... just maybe waninkoko and dark alex and some devs/crackers are working together in cracking the ps3. here's to false hope... who know.
Please make a 6.00 cfw of the psp PLEASE!!!!!!!!1
People ALWAYS assume CFW + pirate, but now it's so far behind that official store bought games can not be played. I think a CFW will come out after the GO is released.
you lot are chumps, "wait for 6.00m33" wen they av released the gen version, HA
