Is it really that hard to decrypt a game ?? Come on... It took me around 10 minutes the first time to do it (5 the next after that).

Honestly now. It takes longer to save the ISO rather than reading the steps you need to take. Oh, and by the way, you can also download them already patched (if you know "places"). That is if you actually own the games, else it's considered Piracy.

So it's 5.00 M33-6 for me.

PS: No, not for TA-088v3 (8C), nor is it for PSP 3000.

# few sites — haxor 2009-10-17 02:58

ive seen it posted on a few sites, im not sure where the news originaly came from

just google 6.00 m33 :)

# heres one — haxor 2009-10-17 03:13

heres one of the websites, not sure if its fake or not but dark alex's website has been down for a while

http://pspgweber.com/modules.php?name+News+file+article+sid+263+mode++order+0+thold+0

# Not true. — Foolmonkey 2009-10-17 03:20

He NEVER stated he was working on 6.00 M33. In fact, he said he WASN'T working on it lol.

# 1.50 KERNAL — GamerGeek96 2009-10-17 03:36

So Does This Mean That 1.50Kernal Will Work On PHAT?!?!?!

# I must apologize... — SonicTH 2009-10-17 05:07

I'm not that hyped to see this news. Sorry but I was hoping there would be a 6.xx Firmware coming down the pipeline. Playing games isn't the issue anymore, I'd have rather waited for a Firmware that also introduces any of the new features or at least lets me browse the PSN Store.

In the realm of playing games, I'm okay with patching them. It's the other stuff I'm getting bummed about now.

# yay — fbx03 2009-10-17 06:19

this is a good milestone for me to play tekken 6 when it some out :)

# SenseMe? — HarryButtox 2009-10-17 06:33

Am I the only one that uses their PSP for music? I've been waiting for custom firmware that at least is patched to run SenseMe. I know its not that great of a feature, but for music users its a feature we wish to have.

# true — CrisisCore-X- 2009-10-17 07:56

i want the sense me thing on my psp im not a big music user but i still use it as a music player myself.

i wish they would add more interesting and fun apps to the psp like if alot of people work together to improve the n64 emulators. lol sorry off topic

but yeah hopefully something cool happens with CFW

# Not yet — symbal 2009-10-17 08:22

The site i download from already pre patches games so this means nothing to me, and honestly M33 fw does everything i need and i never bricked a Psp yet, so really i'll just stick to what i know untill GEN does a Cfw i really need.

# Yes. — FreePlay 2009-10-17 08:50

You probably are, because SenseMe is damn near unusable.

# GEN is not bad — FORCE4121 2009-10-17 09:17

you know..... ive been with m33 since 5.00 and i recently found out that i could switch between them "kudos to hellcat recovery" so i tried GEN v B-2 the only issue i see is a huge slow down of the memory stick...... but some one told me to back up my 16GB to the computer, then format it using the PC then format using the psp and that worked........and sometimes the game folder freezes..... i think it has something to do with the "CXMB" and "game catagories" plugins

# i think — reyknow 2009-10-17 09:18

as long as its not 6.00, it wont support PSN :(

but still i really hope it does

# You mean 5.55? — phiyuku 2009-10-17 09:19

Because Gen is 5.55. I never tried decrypter on 5.50 M33 does it work? Cause if it doesn't your just being dumb for staying on it when you can't play new backups. Yeah and it does seem like GEN is having a hard time making a 6.00 GEN since they did say they were going to make one and then this comes out.

# Woops sorry — phiyuku 2009-10-17 09:22

I had 5.55 in my head cause of it getting stuck cause all these new games need it and though M33 was on 5.50 and GEN was on 5.55 -.- So let me rephrase that question, does the games work after patched on 5.00M33?

# anyone else — reyknow 2009-10-17 09:25

think that DA may have been bought off by sony to not make another cfw? i mean, the homebrew scene relied heavily on DA for cfw, for most of us it was like its either OFW or m33.

dang i really hope im wrong. the homebrew scene needs people like alex.

# me too — reyknow 2009-10-17 09:28

the only reason i wont switch to GEN because im afraid i might brick my psp.

# Yeah — symbal 2009-10-17 09:36

i'm sure it is alright but i'm not one for swapping just for the sake of a few extra features, i mean i don't bother with Blu-Ray because Dvd does enough, but when i find a Blu-Ray recorder in my price range i'll be more than happy to get it, if GEN offers a similar level of upgrade i'll have no problem switching there as well.

# Umm. . . — PinCushion 2009-10-17 10:03

@phiyuku. I was under the impression that yoshihiro's latest patcher made all the games requiring 5.55 or 6.00 run on 5.00 M33.

# Wait — DJ PON-3 2009-10-17 10:30

To make this an awesome CFW we need PSN access again!

# ??? — JETFIRE007 2009-10-17 10:36

Will it allow us to play some games online now (the one's you need 6.00 or 5.55 to play online)

# steps you should take: — Advertising- 2009-10-17 11:04

1. STFU

2. No one gives a ***** about piracy, do you think you are at all respected enough for people to change just because you state facts that everyone already knows about.

3. GOD WTF people will pirate and there's nothing you can do about it; go back to *****ing your mom's anus while you're sticking your tongue up your DAD's pussie!!

# yep — psppyscho 2009-10-17 11:25

@JETFIRE007

Yeah it allows us!

# Well — phiyuku 2009-10-17 11:38

when I read it it said 5.50GEN-B a very specific firmware.

# And with the newest one — phiyuku 2009-10-17 11:40

it only goes to 5.03 GEN.

# Hmm.... — Kuroi 2009-10-17 12:47

Its about time SOME form of update was made in the way of CFW.

Still, if possible, they should seriously go after 6.00 and above.

# @ reyknow — Bountyhunter53 2009-10-17 12:50

The subject of Sony buying off you know who is taboo. People of this news site will unlimitely give you sad faces for talking about it.

I myself think that this is false and Dark_AleX is working on another project (PS3?).

# Seriously.... — Bountyhunter53 2009-10-17 12:53

CFW isn't made for ISO loading but for homebrew. ISO loading is put in because unless they put it in no one would want it. You lot will undoutably moan and cry without ISO loading.

BTW GEN is a stable firmware. Meaning it is the same as M33 releases.

# You do know.... — Bountyhunter53 2009-10-17 12:56

That the Game Decrypter hass been updated 3 times. Thats why it says Game Decrypter V3. The first one only supported 5.50GEN the next versions increased support to more firmwares.

# They could.... — Bountyhunter53 2009-10-17 12:58

They could make a bypass server like DA did back in the days. But that would mean people would complain that GEN is tracking us when they are helping.

# i know its sad :( — eaferrari24 2009-10-17 13:17

people need to stop pirating.. its gone way too far.. its not fair for the rest of us who end up getting half-assed games.

# ... — Foolmonkey 2009-10-17 13:19

Just listen to your music like a normal person, lol.

# » — DSpider 2009-10-17 13:46

First off, thank you for reading what I had to say and thank you for insulting me. I'm not trying to "change" people or anything. I only suggested you can download already patched games and you seem to have misunderstood my take on piracy. By all means, pirate away. Those "places" I was referring to were torrent trackers and p2p networks.

Oh, and I think they kinda do give a **** about piracy.

# Great — M-Lin 2009-10-17 13:50

Those guys at GEN sure work hard for free - Thanks to them (and a few others) I can play every game I've tried on 500m33 and 550GENb - when this is released I'm updating straight away and saving it with Nandmanager! looking forward to it!

# wut — DFresh 2009-10-17 14:31

i have cfw. i just wanna know if ill be able to use this one.

# um — phiyuku 2009-10-17 16:35

have you actually read the god damn changelog. Link to v3 in article here is an excerpt for you in cause you can't read that much.

Compatibility with 5.03GEn is now complete (or not so far). Thanxs to Revenge-crew for their patch on my v2 that i use for V3)

# Not yet... — squeeky_clean 2009-10-17 17:35

I would rather patch than run GEN firmware. Its not as good as M33.

# .. — unggoy 2009-10-17 18:11

are you going to buy stuffs from the PSN?.. dont you have a ps3?.. if so, then i think you can use your computer for PSN ''browsing''.. i think theres a software called media go or something?.. not sure, though..

# Yeah well... — SonicTH 2009-10-17 19:43

You shouldn't.

Seriously, it's not a fight worth fighting. Trying to act like you have the moral high ground is more like egging people on. It doesn't have any weight.

# @DFresh — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-17 20:27

are you running 5.50GENB

no i dont think so.

so what makes you think that 5.50GENC will be any different.

PSP-3000 can only run 5.03 based CFW because its the firmware you need for the exploit to allow CFW.

# Oh man — deathmetal 2009-10-17 20:28

Stop. No, please, just stop. Who *****ing cares about 1.50 kernel in this day and age.

# @Bountyhunter53 — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-17 20:31

http://www.qj.net/PSP-homebrew-Game-Decrypter-v4/pg/49/aid/135107

its actually got 4 versions

4th fixed a problem with Ys7

# Speed up MEM stick? — Rinc 2009-10-17 22:25

All I care about is for them to put in a G.D. Speedup mem stick option!!! I miss it from m33.

# @Bountyhunter53 — reyknow 2009-10-17 22:53

i bet it is.

i just wish there are more people like alex. or theres a source code or a "how to make your own cfw" out there so i could make one for myself and be able to share it.

# What about? — tobyo1 2009-10-17 23:34

UMDs, will we be able to play the 6.00 games through UMD with this? And also, are we actually going to see a new 1.5 kernal anytime soon? :(

# um — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-18 02:32

people with fat PSP's with non-updated homebrew.

thats who.

i installed LEDA on my slim 5.50GEN, and even though it flashed the files, i'm not sure it did anything.

1.50 pandora maker didnt work, and that worked with LEDA in 5.00m33

# ... — Foolmonkey 2009-10-18 02:48

Use fatmsmod.

# Rock Band DLC — SonicTH 2009-10-18 04:37

You can't buy it from the PS3 PSN. It has to be routed through the in-game browser and you need updated Firmware to do that.

# hmm.. — frolix 2009-10-18 06:29

SenseMe is really that important? Why not ask for a proper playlist instead?

# Rockband DLC — lexbian 2009-10-18 06:34

it does NOT have to be routed through the in game browser. ive looked at rock band DLC in media go, and the rockband DLC i HAVE was downloaded through PSN, on my psp, but not through the game. js.

# NEW? no.... — lexbian 2009-10-18 06:39

its pretty doubtful, i mean WHY? and before you start squawking about pha owners needing 1.5... i have a phat and a slim, both run GEN 5.50-b, and seriously... i dont think ive found a piece of current 'brew yet that i cant run on both. theres really not a need for 1.5 anymore.

and YES WE CAN PLAY 5.55 and 6.00 games... thats the entire purpose of this update.

# lol — symbyosis 2009-10-18 06:57

read the entire article before asking questions.

# But.... — Bountyhunter53 2009-10-18 07:27

Theres a patcher which patches the EBOOT.BIN to work for 5.00.

# you can use it — haxor 2009-10-18 07:56

search for 5.50 u3r.

its a mod of 5.50 gens that allows you to use dark alexes memory stick speedup hack :)

# yeah, i know — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-18 08:08

just nitpickin LOL

# Err.... — Bountyhunter53 2009-10-18 08:58

Freeplay has the old Team Wildc*rd source files for V3.40. Check on his site.

# kool kool — EseJuancho1313 2009-10-18 15:08

just like the fellow above. it's released now. update QJ!

# I wouldn't update — holo3x3 2009-10-18 16:25

Well i just updated and my PSP wont start up. The XMB freezes once the Date/Time/Battery info pops up.

# nvmd — holo3x3 2009-10-18 16:37

Just went to recovery and reset flash1. Works now.

# ok — DFresh 2009-10-18 16:56

thanks aces thats all i needed.

# worry not — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-19 00:24

apparently they are updating 5.03GEN for the PSP-3000 so people running chickHEN based CFW can also run 5.55 and 6.00 games without decrypting.

# PSP-2006 doesn't patch — Guest 2010-02-15 01:44

Hey Guys, any advice?
I have a PSP-2006 and I'm running on chichHEN. I decided to upgrade one day and got GEN-C. When I go home, I plugged my psp to my pc to back the files up. Suddenly all my files disappeared! I had to reformat my whole psp and the mmc and place chickHEN once again. chickHEN is running fine but for some strange reason whenever I try to run GEN-C or any of the other GENS, my PSP doesn't seem to let it patch up. I'm really not a techie guy and familiar with all the specs and all I really want is to be able to play the newer games which run on 5.55 and above.
btw,I've tried it like in thrice already but still no luck. Any advice anyone???
Thanks!!!
