How to Install Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D
What’s up fellow PSP gamers and homebrewers out there. The latest custom firmware by Team GEN, Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D has been released. It lets you play back-up UMDs, or ISOs as most of you know, that require firmware 5.55 or 6.00 without having to patch the eboot. It means no more dirty work for you and your happy, lazy pirate friends. Of course that’s a joke — and a fact. We are all pirates. We’ve done it at least once in our life. What, you ask? Something illegal, that is. Peeping toms out there? Sorry for the rant.
You should thank GENyUS and Yoshihiro for this great custom firmware. The bad news is, it does not yet work for PSP-3000 and the PSP Go. But it should work on the PSP Phat a.k.a PSP-1000 and the PSP Slim (PSP-2000).
Here’s what’s new:
- All features of 5.50GEN-B2 are available
- Ability to run 5.51 + games without having to patch it (UMD or ISO)
- Possibility to launch PSN demos requiring 5.51 + without having to patch them (as MGS for example)
- Possibility to connect to the Playstation Store by the using of MEDIAGO, to retrieve games and goodies without having to install Fake USB or other complicated stuff
- Possibility to use the XGEN Updater to install the official firmware 6.10 (use it only if you have a Pandora XGEN to be able to return later in Custom firmware)
- 480×272 AVC Videos ere supported
An option to accelerate reading of the memory stick (the fatmsmod, I presume) is also in the process of getting ported to the 5.50GEN releases

How to Install 5.00 M33-6 Custom Firmware on your PSP
Hey fella PSP gamers out there. It’s nice to be back again. Sorry if I haven’t updated this site in 3 months. There were problems with my cheap web hosting and I’ve been busy with work. The recession on the states has affected me so I need to work my ass off to pay my mobile phone bills and other expenses..
I know this post is very much too late but it’s like obligatory to post the instructions on how to install the latest update. We’ll here it is (taken from DA’s instructions):
This update is a try to fix memory stick low speed since 3.80.
Instructions: Copy UPDATE folder /PSP/GAME/ and run.
If you come from a version prior to 5.00 M33, put sony update as 500.PBP in same folder, or let the program download it for you using a wifi connection.
Changes in 5.00 M33-5:
- A setting has been added to recovery, that, when enabled it may increase memory stick reading speed. (only on the psp, not in the pc).
By default it is disabled. If you installed 3.71 fatmsmod, do not use this setting, as its perfomance with 3.71 driver has not been tested.
Instead, reinstall 5.00 m33-4 using dc8 and update to 5.00 m33-5Changes in 5.00 M33-6:
- Fixed a bug that made unbootable psp without memory stick or with a bad one.
The included file fat_comparison.html contains a comparison of perfomance between the 5.00 fat driver, the 3.71 one, and the 5.00 one with the speed up hack during the read of an iso.
The test was done on the game Valkyrie Profile in cso format in march33 mode. Other games, modes and applications different than iso reading showed similar results.

Save your game whenever you want with PSPStates
There comes a point in every game when you need to save it in an exact state where you want it to be and when you want it to be. For example you are playing this cool RPG game and you are in the middle of the desert map and you need to save your game because you badly need to go to the bathroom but you just can’t because there’s no near save point around the map you are in. What do you do? You switch your PSP into sleep mode and leave it on the couch. But is that really the best thing to do? Sometimes putting your PSP into sleep mode isn’t enough. You really want to know why? Read on. Continue Reading

PSP Custom Firmware 5.0 M33 released
Dark Alex has just released the latest of his custom firmwares, 5.0 M33. It’s really surprising that DA has done it in just a few days. This guy works very fast.
Below are notes about the custom firmware:
- Popsloader does not work (due to some changes on modules that sony did). UPDATE: There is a patch for this but it would require you to flash files which is dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. Will write a post on this later.
- 1.50k addon not yet supported but will be soon
5.00 M33 Please
Instructions on how to install 5.0 M33 custom firmware will follow soon. Meanwhile, relax at the new colors of the site.
PSP Official Firmware 5.00 is now available
I said on my previous post that Sony will be releasing the latest update next week but I was so wrong. Sony has just released the latest firmware for the PSP right right after I posted the previous post. It now includes a direct access to the Playstation Store.This major update includes a new theme redesign, a full-size on-screen keyboard and a sleep timer that you can enable during music playback.
The other good thing is Dark Alex has started working on hacking the 5.00 firmware. So what will it be? A custom firmware with a new name? Let’s hope he does it in no time so we could enjoy the new firmware with the capability of running homebrew programs.
Thanks to darwin v. for sending out the good news.
PSP Firmware 5 will be out soon!
Sorry guys. I haven’t posted here for quite a long time. Well, I’ve been very busy with my work, hanging out with my family and friends. I haven’t been playing and tinkering with my PSP for quite sometime after what happened to it. My PSP still actually works but the LCD is damaged again. I’m looking for a replacement for it but I can’t find any brand new Phat PSPs anymore. I guess I’ll have my Phat PSP repaired and I’ll just wait for the new PSP with built in microphone and new screen.
Anyway, I’m real excited on what Sony is about to release next week. It’s the new firmware 5.0 for the PSP. Below are the new features added on the firmware.
PSP Firmware 5.00:
- Direct PSN access. PSN stands for PlayStation Network. If you don’t have a PSN account yet, create one now. This is like the App Store on the iPhone/iPod Touch, IMO.
- Sleep timer option. A feature that should have been there long ago.
- Full screen keyboard.
- Redesigned XMB background.
