*Brewers Beware*
psphacks has had it for a good amount of time now.. their users are complaining about it freezing psps. Some have mentioned formatting flash1 to fix the problem.
I don't feel like even installing it at the moment because I am too lazy to redo all my settings if my psp ends up freezing
wake up in the late afternoon. call parnell just to see how he doin
that was quick.
Formatting the flash1 fixes the XMB freezing at startup, but i freeze when im trying to change the theme. Plus, none of my games seem to work.
thanks for all the warnings i still wanted to try it out tho lol
Formatting FLash1 will correct the issue of the system hanging at start up.
There seems to be an issue with the M33 drivers no longer working. For ISO/CSOs, you'll have to use legacy drivers of Sony drivers, and even then, you might still be out of luck.
Hopefully we'll have a C-2 out soon.
Well i installed it on my psp 2000 v2 that had 5.50 GEN-B2 and it did end up freezing after the
sony logo.
I guess i couldve formatted flash1 but i didnt knw that..lol,
So I went da long way and what I did was use Hellcats Recovery Flasher 1.6 to flash it back to 5.00 M33-6 then I used this installer to update it to 5.50 GEN-C.
It works 100% perfectly now.
ill just wait for the updates dont want to risk psp freezing and doing that crap all over again
thanks for the details and new method of fixing the freeze!
What would we do without Hellcats Recovery Flasher
thanks for the diagnosis dudes, I think I'll pass this 1 for 'D' ;p
I just recently, when GT Mobile was released was forced to update my cfw. I'm in no rush to do so this time. Only when and if a new game forces me will I update.
thanks for all the warnings i still wanted to try it out tho lol
I updated to GEN-C and have had no freezing or problems occur.
Was it from 5.00 M33 - 6 or from 5.50 Gen B2?
I updated from gen-b2. Worked like a charm...no errors, didn't have to format flash1 or anything.
God of War (US), Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins (US) and FF: Dissidia (US) will not boot for me, on any driver. Anyone else wanna give it a shot?
I installed the XGEN PANDORA first and updated it from 5.50 GEN-B2, it got frozen at the first time after the sony logo screen. In my second update it worked fine and my plug-ins are still working.
Final Fantasy Dissidia (US) booted fine with M33 driver.
Let me try God of War........
I tried the psn and i got stucked on exchanging key
anyone manage it to work?
Found another problem - can no longer connect to my access point unless I change the encryption to WEP - Went back to M33-6 and then to GENB2 both of them can connect over WPA Encryption - GENC CAN'T!!!
can you access psn?
i also updated and can't use internet browser or psn. hope they make a patch.
No PSN although Fullmetal Alchemist works on GENC
Same as me, seems GENC can't work over WPA wireless encryption.
where did you get the Fullmetal Alchemist?
i only know the espalpsp website
ok well i tried God of War (US) and it also boots up fine with M33 drive.
Quick Question: Are you trying to run CSO's or ISO's??
The reason I ask is because some people are saying that GEN-C isnt working with CSOs for some reason and when I ran mine they were both ISO's. So try converting them with UMDGen, hope this helps.
What is so GOOD about this CFW? I mean if you cant play Motorstorm Arctic Edge online or get on the playstation network, then idk what is so GOOD about it.
???
I'm having no problems at all. I tried all the games that were mention that were not working and they work for me. All drivers are working on mine.
WERE YOU GOT FMA!
B/C when Dax makes a CFW th@ goes to a new level
EX: 4.01 then 5.00, He has to change up all the files in the new kernel to be compatible with homebrew and pops which is y GEN is still on 5.50 GEN-C. Dax is the mastermind behind CFW-ing new kernels.
WPA encrypted networks don't work anymore, nor does remote play
Actually I just tried FMA and it doesn't work that CFW check thingy pops up so I still have to use CWcheat to get through and your right about the WPA thing it just kind of repeats connecting to access point then exchanging key information. Also Dissidia US works on mine and I'm using M33 Drivers. Hope they fix the Internet thing though with a patch or something
To Avoid Freeze/Semi-Brick, after you flash 5.50 GEN-C, instead of selecting to "Reboot" your PSP, Shut it down instead. Then turn it on and all your Flash1 Settings will be reset automatically.
If you have a UMD Disc in your PSP, take it out or else it will auto-start.
themes in general dont work, had a flash0 one and it bricked my psp because of it
Well this is the basic summary.....
Problems: Freezes at startup, semibricks psp, CSOs dont work, ppl having problems with M33 drive, WiFi donesnt work with WPA encyption, some games fail to boot, the list goes on..lol
Solution: I guess just stick with 5.50 GEN-B2 or even 5.00 M33-6 for M33 fans
Thanks alot to the Yoshihiro and Team DAX for this release...I hope to see 5.50 GEN-C2 real soon.
I got remote play to work after i reflashed the gen fw and chose to "shutdown" instead of "reboot"
MY CSO games work fine and ISO game for example FFD US is ISO and FMA is CSO also Disgaea 1 is CSO also. I tested these three games using the M33 Drivers so I'm guessing all of those problems affect certain psp models and motherboards I have a PSP fat model 1001
okay I was excited for this but I did everything I can play Disgaea 2 and 30 second hero but for some reason persona starts and stays in a dark screen never to work what's the deal?
if anybody has alien syndrome, can you try it and see if it loads for you. For me it freezes at Please Wait... with Sony NP9660 and the M33 driver.
I tried God of War since somebody said it didn't load, it loads fine for me. The only game that won't load for me as of now is Alien Syndrome.
where you got FMA please tell me T_T
really are you kidding me there are many places to get it now. try combining the two 3-letter words together and you shall find the site
oh.
I got FMA working fine also as a ISO, but for sum reason CSOs dnt work. I have psp-2000 slim model which might be why this is happening.
off topic sorry:
but email me at tato41505
Try pspisoz.com for fma
do you mean that FMA as a CSO doesn't work completely or the CFW thing still pops up?
i guess im stickin with 5.50 gen-b2
No upgrade for me unless something changes. I'm satisfied with patching games.
ok im usung the game categories plugin v7
and it seems to freeze alot when i pick certain folders....
i pick them and it wont load the icons........
and its not the plugins entirely because i dont think it happened in 5.00m33-6
if I should update or not :S
The only thing improving I see about C is MediaGo, everything else you could already do in B2.
Seriously, game patching wasn't so hard that it needed its own CFW update for. Sticking to B2/even M33 is the best idea, unless you want to test things out
you should wait till the bugs get fixed
stick with GEN-B2 or M33-6.
How can you come out with an CFW update thats depressing?
Its like waitn for your birthday n they bring out a fruitcake with frosting n say "enjoy"...
dose the 1.50 kernel homebrew works on the cfw. If so dose all of it or some of it works.
you up date waiting for miracles and you get a slap in the face
by the way if you are having trouble with csos try loading it with usb iso loader and hold down the right trigger to load from the ms it works with a motor storm cso i have
interesting, wheres 5.50m33
im trying to play the new 5.55 req games with gen-c (note: this also happend with the patched iso's when i was running gen-B) i put the *PATCHED 5.55 FW) game in my iso folder i go into my psp AND =D nothing...... ive scrolled up and down probably about 7 or 8 times and im 100% sure its not there could someone throw some ideas at me lol
Thanks :)
Don't know what I did wrong, but everything works perfectly? Even when I flashed these plugins:
ms0:/seplugins/noumd.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/game_categories .prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/PSPconsole/PSPconsole.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/dayviewer.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/Vol.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/hider.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/hold.prx 1
ms0:/cxmb/cxmb550.prx 1
Playing Motorstorm now - I say update!
No and the 1.50 kernal will probably never work again
maybe try renaming them with shorter names? gl
soooo even though we all know this is bugged badly (it bricked my psp on installation) can we confirm it plays 5.55 and 6.00 games?
I did a clean install. Flash install CFW 5.00 m33 then CFW 5.50GEN-C. Tested Dirt 2. I'll test Naruto and Gran Turismo later at home :)
It's really good to hear that GEN has once again updated their CFW for 5.55/6.00 compatibility without the need to patch, and even better to hear that they'll update 5.03 GEN for the niche group of us who want to use the 3000s.
And in case anyone starts bashing GEN and does the usual "z0mG GEN sux0rz m33 4 life", I'll have you know that I've used M33 CFWs before (on my older PSP) and had a good time with them, but GEN seems to the group to look to for updates. Hey, they made it all possible on my 3000 first, that's major, major props to them. And not forgetting Yoshihro, of course, who did awesome work with the decrypter.
We're all just being used as their lil GENypigs so they can see how the CFW works so they can fix it! Havent you guys learned yet? I always wait at least 3 weeks before updating even to m33 CFW. All I can say is have your RECOVERY FLASHER or Pandora ready before updating ANY new CFW!! Yes even DAX's!
can you play motorstorm online?
dunno I've gone back to m33 coz the 371 fatms doesn't work on GenC...
Can somebody test if the FuSa Gamepad is working with this 5.50 GEN-C ? For some strange reason it works with GEN-A but with GEN-B it does not.
FMA Works for me - I tried it again and got the caution message, went back to XMB and tried it again, worked again, seems hit and miss on GENC but I definitely have it working without using decryption or CWC
You could try eLoader v1.0 from noobz.eu
Still works pretty well on a lot of the old homebrew.
WLan with PSP an WPA-2 encryted works fine. No Problems here...
I updated from cfw 5.0M33-6 to 5.50 GEN-B only to find that there was a patch to decrypt new games for cfw 5.0 M33-6. Oh well, I guess I will wait for the next latest and greatest release. I have no problems Gen-B atm. It's a decent cfw in comparison to M33-6. Everyone is doing an awesome job on these cfw's.
Thanks
Works with 5.50 GEN-B on PSP2003 model psp.
cso level 9 work fine for me, on a slim
the game category plugin freezes in gen b-2 as well
iso's wont show up until you have at least one file in ms0:\psp\game\
even if you make a dummy file, it will work
just take a empty txt file and rename it to eboot.pbp and put it in a folder called dummy, then put that in game folder
so you should have
ms0:\psp\game\d ummy\eboot.pbp
or just keep the gen updater in the game folder
as long as theres something in game folder, your iso's should show up
it runs my soul calibur UMD no problem
iso's wont show up until you have at least one file in ms0:/psp/game
even if you make a dummy file, it will work
just take a empty txt file and rename it to eboot.pbp and put it in a folder called dummy, then put that in game folder
so you should have
ms0:/psp/game/dummy/eboot.pbp
or just keep the gen updater in the game folder
as long as theres something in game folder, your iso's should show up
so I guess its a nuke ?
Um...I think what he wanted to say was that he does not believe that the GEN team has the skills to create a totally new cfw, kernel and all...Although if they really wanted to I think its possible...
"Connection via PSN MEDIAGO without having to install complicated utility (option in beta yet)"
That has always worked and im not even on GEN...
and i want to see a vid of some one trying this patch on M33 lol I dont care if it bricks or actually works i just wanna see if any one will try it
According to the GEN team, GEN-D is on it's way.
why do you need to remove custom theme before using dc8?
its becasue this would happen think about it most people (like me) use a theme and that can semi-brick your psp if you try to update with it
thats why flashing flash1 works becasue all your theme settings and other usser settings are stored if you ask me people who got a semi brick and complained about it are just complaining because they are not taking enough care before they do these things
Everytime I read your "Brewers Beware" thing it always makes me think of "Readers Beware -- You're in for a scare," 'cause of Goosebumps. ...Anyway...
and replace it with this
"Although they already have shown that they can..."
Sorry i wasn't paying attention lol
Bit buggy? I think it was a rushed release. Anyways all my games are dead but everythings cool
Remote Play will not work as it connects to PSN.
PSN store doesn't come up at all. Error has occured? But doesn't matter.
Fifa 10 doesn't work. GT working....Kinda?
BTW half of changelog is still in FRENCH.
But im gonna go back to 5.50GEN B2 and wait for GEN-D
First we present our apologies for this release that posed more problems than we expected. Pour être très francs, lors de nos tests faits de la même manière que les autres fois, nous avions des résultats satisfaisants mais différents facteurs sont intervenus entre l'annonce de la mise en ligne et celle-ci. To be very frank, in our tests made in the same manner as other times, we had satisfactory results, but several factors intervened between the announcement of the online one. Nous allons essayer de vous expliquer le pourquoi du comment de cette release maudite. We will try to explain the why of how this release cursed.
Tout d'abord, la version initiale qui devait être postée était bien prête lors de l'annonce et nous lui avions accordé 24 heures de tests supplémentaires pour vérifier que tout fonctionnait bien. Firstly, the original version that was being posted was well prepared for this announcement and we had given 24 hours of additional testing to verify that everything worked well. Cette première release ne lançait pas les jeux protégés mais tous les jeux 5.55+. This first release does not launch the protected games but all games 5.55 +. Dans la foulée, Yoshihiro à trouvé comment contrer les protections et nous avons décidé de l'annoncer et de modifier la release en fonction. In the process, Yoshihiro out how to counter the protections we have decided to announce and release in the edit function. C'est donc là que nous avons pêché car si tout fonctionnait lors de nos tests, il se trouve que certaines protections de notre CFW soient venues mettre la panique sous certaines conditions et aussi selon le modèle de PSP. So this is where we fished for if everything worked in our tests, it is found that certain protections of our CFW have come to panic under certain conditions and also depending on the model of PSP. De plus, afin de ne pas (trop) retarder la release, nous avons laché le bébé sans lui laisser une période de test assez longue. Moreover, to avoid (too much) delay the release, we dropped the baby without giving her a test period of time. Acceptez nos excuses pour cela. Accept our apologies for this.
A notre décharge, il ya plusieurs type d'erreurs dont certaines ne nous sont pas imputables : In our defense, there are several types of errors, some of which we are not attributable to:
* Vous avez un écran noir en lançant l'updater You have a black screen by launching the updater
Vous êtes en Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-B et pas en B2. You are in Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-B and not in B2. Il suffisait de qse mettre en B2 donc pour régler le souci. It was enough to qse B2 therefore to resolve the concern.
* Vous avez un semi brick ("je n'ai que l'horloge...") You have a semi brick ( "I have the clock ...")
Vous aviez laissé un thème personalisé et il suffisait donc de formater le flash1 en passant par le menu recovery. You had left a personalized theme and therefore it was enough to format the flash1 via Recovery menu. Ne pas avoir de theme perso lors d'un flash de console fait partie du b et a ba et nous avions oublié de vous le signaler. Do not have a personal theme during a flash console is part of b and ba and we had forgot to report it. Rien de grave cependant car le Recovery restait accessible et/ou redemarrer sans sa MS suffisait généralement pour débloquer la situation. Nothing serious, however, because the Recovery remained accessible and / or restart without his MS usually enough to break the deadlock.
* Vous avez briqué votre console You bricked your console
L'installeur du 5.50GEN ne présente aucun bug et notre CFW ne peut pas être responsable de cela directement. The installer of 5.50GEN has no CFW our bug and can not be directly responsible for that. Tout est fonctionnel à 200%, soyez-en certain En clair, notez que si vous avez briqué, c'est sans doute suite à une défaillance de votre nand qui serait survenue lors de n'importe quel autre tentative de flash de votre console, y compris un officiel. Everything is working 200%, you can be sure Clearly, note
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.pspgen.com/&ei=IJrcSqLTPJTQtAP7ipSxCQ&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&ved=0CBIQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dpspgen%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff
But it doesn't work on FAT.
The changelog is still in FRENCH :|
just flash install 5.00 m33-6 then update it.My monster hunter cso is working fine and so is my homebrew and webbrowser.(wifi im using has no password).but PSN doesnt work and wont cuz it still requires the latest 6.10 cuz 6.10 lets you use more psn access(the minis button only would work in the 6.10 FW)so web,iso,hb is all i need and they all work on this CFW.i havent tested plugins and web security yet but ill post the outcome if no won else does.
