As promised, PSPGen together with GENyUS has released the much awaited Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-B. This is great news to all GEN users especially when news broke days ago that Sony has successfully implemented a security update that prevented Custom Firmware 5.00 M33 users from accessing the Playstation Store. Fortunately, Custom Firmware 5.50GEN users were safe.

The new update will be available for all PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 owners with TA-088v1 and v2; sadly, owners of PSP-2000 with TA-088v3 mobos and all PSP-3000 are not yet supported in this update. And since this is an update, you need Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-A installed in your PSP.

Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-B changelog:

The bug that prevented disabling the VSH Menu has been resolved.
The select button can either start the Recovery (Recovery in VSH), the VSH Menu (default) or do nothing at all (for those who use the remote play between PSP and PS3)
Updated network off M33
Evangelion Jo can be launched.
Pandorisation options are available in the VSH menu and Recovery
Option Flash1 Format: adding a check that prevents the Flash1 format if it is in the VSH.
3 new functions in the VSH Menu

Shutdown device (turn off)
Make Normal Battery (Replace the battery in standard mode)
Make Pandora Battery (pandorise battery)

so what if i can't get onto sony's crappy playstaion network..?

i already got a better playstation network anyhow - it's called 'the net'...

im quite happy with a bug-free, superior CFW from M33, thanks.. i'm quite happy to wait for dax to do the business when it really matters instead of bricking my psp chasing some pointless fluff from 'da' PSN.

# Dude... — OMightyBuggy 2009-07-02 06:46

I doubt dax is ever going to do anything with 5.50 - 5.51.

# dude.. — pewpie 2009-07-02 07:41

you are aboslutely right..

why? because they are both meaningless updates - dax only updates when something important occurs.

# ... — TheLastGuitarHero 2009-07-02 08:04

Exactly.

# .... — mysterysword 2009-07-02 08:15

Well, apparently 5.50GEN-B still has a bug with the goCam, and probably a few more, and atm there are more themes for 5.00M33. I honestly don't wanna lose my themes, so I'll stay on 5.00M33-6.

# ... — pewpie 2009-07-02 08:27

yep.. well, from what i gather - the OFW 5.50/1 has its fare share of bugs - even some bricks occuring..

thats Official FW not CFW.. so it's unsurprising that the CFW has bugs too..

probly also another good reason why dax wont act until a more stable release surfaces.

"Fortunately, Custom Firmware 5.50GEN users was safe."

I think you mean....

Fortunately, Custom Firmware 5.50GEN users were safe.

# Resistance — Arelison 2009-07-02 09:32

Resistance works on 5.00

# WTF m33 comeon!! — GLO13AL_T3RROR 2009-07-02 10:11

M33 should really do something man......i want to play SFCO very badly but i didn't update cz most of my favourite homebrews&plugins doesn't work on GEN.:(

# And... — ajnauron 2009-07-02 10:51

We never got that custom version of IRShell they promised!

# If by "custom" you mean — PinCushion 2009-07-02 11:33

crude hex-edit, then you are absolutely right. Unfortunately most of the cool functions of iR Shell will not work unless made by AhMan for a specific firmware.

# Anyone else... — JohnnyMcKinney 2009-07-02 11:44

Having problems loading their backups? I put it in the ISO folder, but it won't show up under game.

# Using PSN Network Below 5.50 — Drunk Vegan 2009-07-02 15:28

..You don't need 5.50 GEN-A/B to use PSN.

You can use this tool to enable PSN on lower firmwares:

Or just do it by hand, as described in the comments on that page.

# Nice..... — lovehate 2009-07-02 20:00

great find, wait until you read my comment there, horrorriiious. (Sounds like) I am LOL. right now seriously. I know right. stop. (Janes' Addiction song) Don't even get me started. yes I am awake. Dumb Ass! j/k (Super Milk Chan-Singing Dumbass Promo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v+OEtXL17MEEE

LoveandHateALLo FU.

# huh — Aces In The Palm 2009-07-02 23:34

try installing the 1.50 kernel

# Hopefully Dark Alex will reconsider and update to 5.50...IT'S NEEDED! — s*****man 2009-07-03 11:04

Sony has now locked everyone with lower than a 5.50 FW out of Rock Band and probably everything else related to PSN. I guess they don't want us to buy anything.

Hopefully this will change DA's mind about updating since it really is needed now.

# yea — everSLO 2009-07-03 23:54

finally !!! :)

# im using update trick 2.5 — lunas 2009-07-04 21:37

Im using the update trick 2.5 with m33-6 and the latest psn fix stops me from accessing.

That said I am willing to wait for a fix to either m33-6 or update trick 2.6

# You know — Luigi Panache 2009-07-11 06:53

All Youtube videos posted here do not work. Qj changes the equals sign to a plus sign, breaking your link.

FAIL

# i think he meant — sickofitall 2009-07-13 05:04

to play resistance online again.

# you — sickofitall 2009-07-13 05:10

may be waiting a long time.
