# Really?Luigi Panache 2009-08-28 03:51
I have a lot of friends who are bugging me about updating to 5.55 for games. This would save me from the hassle of explaining how to go back to OFW.

# Fake...shiro893 2009-08-28 04:15
He's a fake. He is known in the Spanish Homebrew community because of:

CF 5.51

Downgrade 5.50 to 5.03

In which both cases he asked for a PSP3000 and a PSP2000 for "testing purposes". And he makes low quality fake videos each time.

# This is nothing short of Fail.b|ank Crossfire 2009-08-28 04:22
This is fake. Period.

The fact that he didn't even use a game that actually REQUIRES 5.55 Official Firmware proves this.



Need for Speed Carbon? LOL. That game is how old?

This guys a low level troll.

# Why even bother?batanen 2009-08-28 05:46
Why is it so important to try get people believe something by creating a false hope? I don't bother to watch the video, I see the results when they come. False videos has no real place in the homebrew community, I think.

There was no proof of a 5.55 game running. This was already on another news site saying it was a fake. Quickjump tsk tsk...

# Wow...Squintin 2009-08-28 05:46
No 5.55 required UMD, no proof of 5.55 features, no Infoboard established in ofw 5.50...



This is a current cfw/cfwe, 5.55 version.txt, system name spoofer, and dayviewer.prx...



Theres no way this person represents any team...



The way he navigated the XMB was also on par with admitting his mental disabilities to the whole community.

# Another thing...OMightyBuggy 2009-08-28 05:51
It is firmware 5.00 being spoofed he could of used 5.50 and make the video more convinceing be using an iso of 5.50 or 5.51. All this is, is an epic fail.

# version.txtphoenix1414 2009-08-28 07:05
no, i know what he did. when i was trying to play tales of vs i tried using version.txt to spoof my FW to 5.55, in the end i wasnt able to play the game OR run the official update of 5.55. When i tried the official update to 5.55 when i was on 5.00 m33 it gave me that same error "Your software version is already 5.55 there is no need to update" or whatever. so yeah he may have just done what i did, along with version spoofer and dayviewer and *****

# [}{]artanis_07 2009-08-28 08:35
well it looks fake but when he try to update to version 2.71 it says that there is no need for that psp version 5.55 is already installed...???

i don't know...but can he fake that?????????

# schitartanis_07 2009-08-28 08:45
it is fake

ofw 5.55 has information board under PSN

on this video there is no information board

so this is 100% FAKE

Reply
 

 
# .mysterysword 2009-08-28 09:59
Yeah, the Information Board is missing under PSN. When he runs the 2.71 'update', it says he's running 5.55, but I'm pretty sure that could be changed in rcoedit. It's most likely a version-spoofed 5.00M33. Even funnier is how he doesn't even run a game that requires 5.55. If he really was on 5.55 Custom Firmware, then why not run a game that requires it and prove it's real?

# Will we get it dribbles?bio2110 2009-08-28 10:42
Hello I am Brazilian, I wonder if you take long to get this custom firmware?

And when you go out? that are already out in most new games are not getting play, this will be the end of the implanted memory stick?

I hope not, because I love to play on my psp ... any news on this ship please let us know. Thank you for your attention.

# FAKEDWG21R 2009-08-28 11:52
This is 100% fake.



Version.txt was changed to the firmware he has, and also used the day viewer plugin to change it to Team MX



He is using a umd, so not even proving that iso's will work.



Nothing about playstation store working..



humm.. smells like a fake to me

# This is how its done.OMightyBuggy 2009-08-28 12:54
All he needs is version.txt 5.55 and it would say that when he trys to update. Anybody can prove this by trying it and then going to sony network update.

# its weird...Squintin 2009-08-28 13:04
...that thats exactly what i said and what anyone else would mean by 5.55 VERSION.TXT unless they were actually on ofw 5.55 which is what this kid isn't. You're not very smart.

# What is it?bio2110 2009-08-28 14:43
I think they will achieve this stage yes, we already dribbles worse, we wait to see where this is going, we is not judging before we have a result.

I'm on the side or against anyone, not only will no one is judging until I make sure you check.

# @bio2110Squintin 2009-08-28 15:17
No. this is fake not only does this person not have 5.55, they don't even have 5.50, let alone 5.51. You can tell easiest by there being no infoboard in the sub-icons of PS store on their XMB. They are using 5.03 cfw/cfwe or under with a bunch of dumb spoofs. If there weren't already enough comments stating the same damn thing i'd say you had a reason to still be so dense, but there are so you don't.

# Very LAME FakeNakedFaerie 2009-08-28 22:04
Want me to release the same video my way?



This is no proof of a 5.55CFW as I can do exactly like he did with 5.00M33.

1, version spoofer.

2, 5.55 version.txt

done.



What a lamer. There is no proof this is 5.55CFW. So it can run a 3.71 UMD... Where is a 5.55 ISO running? Now that would be proof. This is crap. Any lamer can di this.



I can release a fake that is 10x better than this lame one.

I can actually make it look real.



Next time try harder. Lamer.

# dont be so quick to judgeCrisisCore-X- 2009-08-29 04:52
guys dont be so quick to judge maybe he didnt feel like downloading the iso's or he didnt know a website. all im saying is that they say they are going to release a beta version you guys need to wait untill they actually release the so called "beta" and if he dont release it then flame him cause he was really lying. all im saying is that we should hope for a postivie CFW future and give this guy the benifit of the doubt.





yo NakedFaerie you have a really big mouth for someone who doesnt have something to back it up i wanna see you make a video like this and "10x" better do then you say you can i wanna see you make one post it up on youtube and then post the link in this post

hes playing need for speed carbon on his psp it looks like the phat version i will believe it when this guy can show us playing the gi-joe game off the psp memory stick with the umd drive open only than will i be game!

Reply
 

 
# No thanksNakedFaerie 2009-08-29 20:56
I can make a video 10x better than this one that looks real but I'm not that much of a lamer to post it and say it's real like this lamer did.

If I did make it I would tell everyone it's fake as I don't post crap like this guy did.

That's also why I won't do it. Videos don't prove anything. All they prove is you can post to YouTube. Nothing more.

The proof will be the release of the CFW. Till then it's fake.

But seriously, the number of games using 5.55 is growing and I hope the cfw gets worked out eventually.

# Im sure 5.55 m33 will be out soon.Order-Sol 2009-09-03 07:34
Besides his personal life, i think Dark_Alex is waiting untill the PSP Go is released before releasing anything, which actually is a smart move. This way we may be able to get everything in one shot. :D Other than that, 5.00 M33-6 is working out fine. Even 5.50 Gen is working out pretty well, and they have PSN working. :D Whatever issuse isos have, can most likely be easily patched. Look at SC:BD. :)

# No.iluvfuz 2009-09-04 14:59
5.55 m33 will never be out. You should all look forward to 6.00 m33 which will be from the OFW on Oct. 1. 5.55 is a stupid update which is why DA didn't bother making 5.51 or 5.50 m33.



And stop bumping the freaking post if you don't like it...
