Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-B arriving next weekend

Posted Oct 25, 2009 at 2:53PM EST by Mabie A.

Listed in: Homebrew Development, News Tags: Google, PS1, psp homebrews, PSP-3000, PSPGen

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:

CompatibilitÃ© PSP-3000 et PSP-2000 v3 avec un firmware officiel 5.03 au maximum
Lecture des jeux PS1
Lecture des UMD/backup protÃ©gÃ©s 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 corrigÃ©e

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!

# huh — yourmistakes 2009-10-25 19:24

5.03 m33? rofl, that just made my day

# dont you guys get it — Troy Gerbrandt 2009-10-25 19:29

there being sarcastic as in saying since you have higher you cant use it

# Naaah — jomacho0 2009-10-25 19:41

They're being ignorant because they don't know French.

# Correct........ — KingPepper 2009-10-25 20:01

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

Compatibility PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 with an official firmware 5.03 at the most.

So sorry guys, if you have upgraded past 5.03. :o(

# so... ? — thedeificone 2009-10-25 21:37

So... why would they say "You have a PSP-3000 (or PSP-2000 v3) and official firmware higher than the 5.03? This announcement will make you happy..." ???

So i have a 3000 running 5.50 OFW... Depending on the translation im either laughing or crying then huh ?

# psp go 6.10 exploit by malloxis — grape12 2009-10-25 23:32

# 5.03 at most :( — paulotex 2009-10-25 23:35

"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 :)

# Hmm.. — sicksider 2009-10-26 01:34

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

# i dont think so — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-26 01:36

"You have a PSP-3000 (or PSP-2000 v3) and official firmware higher than the 5.03? This announcement will make you happy..."

should of read

"You have a PSP-3000 (or PSP-2000 v3) and games requiring official firmware higher than the 5.03? This announcement will make you happy..."

# au maximum — ryebee 2009-10-26 01:37

yes, just what paulotex said...

translation from Google Translate:

"au maximum "

1. most

2. up to the hilt

3. at the outside

# » — DSpider 2009-10-26 04:02

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...

Dumbass.

# Sorry about that. — DSpider 2009-10-26 04:10

Replace the + with an + in:

# » — DSpider 2009-10-26 04:14

Wtf is wrong with you Qj ?? REPLACE THE PLUS SIGN (+) WITH AN EQUAL (+) !!!

No love for Opera users, huh ? Well, I'm not installing Firefox and sure as sh*t I'm not using IE.

# Yeah. — Silver_Infinity 2009-10-26 04:53

That would mean CFWEnabler.

# No... — Silver_Infinity 2009-10-26 04:58

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).

# that sucks — CrisisCore-X- 2009-10-26 05:41

my friend has a psp 3000 a while back he wanted me to hack it but i couldnt cause he updated to ofw 6.10, and now he wants to sell it i was thinking of buying it lol cause mines is kinda messed up. anyways if anyone knows how to downgrade or any kind of exploit that will work on psp ofw 6.10 it will be much appreciated.

my email is crisiscore_08@h otmail.com

That's french people translating to english, but still, they knew what they ment when translating xD

# good news — xche78x 2009-10-26 06:43

now the psp slim (ta something boards) and the 3000 users will finally be able to join in the fun.

thanks to the programmers.

# ????? — sandzz2 2009-10-26 09:29

# Can't you read? — jomacho0 2009-10-26 10:09

It will not work on PSP TA-088v3+ with firmware beyond 5.03.

# DAX — ktix007 2009-10-26 12:51

31st of October Dar_Alex and Dark_Alex.org are comming back with 6.00M33!

# Says who? — jomacho0 2009-10-26 13:36

Unless the announcement is made by dax himself, don't hold your breath.

# idiot... — Squintin 2009-10-26 13:50

I'm a 3000 owner and I've been in on the fun for weeks now, yoshihiro's decryptor works for all m33 and gen firmwares. This is for unpatched iso/umd.

# >_> always double check automated translations — yykakashi 2009-10-26 13:53

babelfish's translation :

* 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

this with the original and google's gives a clear understanding

but yeah pspgen has it in english

# Team GEN — antoniocool 2009-10-26 15:04

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.

# Difference — mr.x 2009-10-26 18:09

I don’t get it. I can already do everything with 5.03 M33-6 on my PSP 3000. What does this add to it?

# I'll be happy when — illahstrait 2009-10-26 22:24

I get to play beaterator

# um — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-26 23:49

beaterator decrypts in 5.50gen and plays on 5.oom33

no reason why you cant play it now

# heres a list by 3r14nd on maxconsole — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-26 23:54

Here is a list of what 5.55+ Games work with GameDecrypter

http://www.maxconsole.net/forums/showthread.php?t+143463

change the + after the t to equals

t(equals)143463

# LOL — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-26 23:57

IE doesnt work either

nor firefox or chrome

you can not use equals signs in a reply for some stupid reason

# A lot — jomacho0 2009-10-27 05:54

This is CFW for the 3000! It adds a lot. No more chickHEN.

# ... — Foolmonkey 2009-10-27 05:54

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.

# wishes for m33 — trigger_ftu 2009-10-27 08:37

gen is a failure alwas was always will be and for thoes under the understanding that this is cfw for teh 3000's it's not it's just a HEN with addedin capabilities. thats the only thing keepin GEN afloat atm. hints why i'm stickin with m33 and adding my own mods for things to work heh and guess what i am playin GTA: CTW UMD on my 5.00m33-6 psp-2000.

# » — DSpider 2009-10-27 12:51

Nooou, you will still be on 5.03 and you will still use ChickHEN.

# hummm — Hoshiyomi 2009-10-28 14:10

My FAT PSP-1000 is much more simple ¬¬'...

# news from pspgen — animebuster 2009-10-31 15:29

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.. — akshay1 2009-11-01 03:20

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.

What the hell does "beautiful tutoriels and beautiful vidéos" mean?!
