Is it worth going from 5.50 GEN-B, to this?

Is it worth going from 5.50 GEN-B, to this?

I have heard this is a little more stable than the GEN, but in truth i have not used either. Just what i hear

@ Sinnorf:

I just updated to this firmware to test it but unfortunately It lacks

the feature of my CFW (5.02 GEN-A) so I decided to go back to CFW 5.02 GEN-A

I hope their next revision will have more features than my current CFW..


anyway here's ruyor feedback taken from DA's Forum:

Here's my thoughts (tested on a PSP-1000):

---Install---
Uses the Sony installer like most recent CFW, installs smoothly

---Features---
Has the VSH Shutdown
Doesn't have the MS Speedup feature from 5.00 M33-6
PS Store Works
Hide Pic0 & Pic1 doesn't work
ISO/CSO work fine
POPS work

---Homebrew---
Backup function of Recovery Flasher works (Recovery Flasher doesn't work on 5.50 GEN-B, tons of errors)
Restore function of Recovery Flasher works perfectly
NesterJ 1.11 doesn't work ("This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted." it works fine on 5.00 M33-6)

---Bugs Found---
Hide Pic0 & Pic1 doesn't work
NesterJ 1.11 doesn't work ("This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted." it works fine on 5.00 M33-6)

---Overall---
Much better and less buggy than 5.50 GEN, once the bugs are ironed out, I'll start using this on my Slim (currently using 5.50 U3R with 5.50 GEN-A Build 4 as a base). If a 5.50 Phat patch for IRShell is released, I'll use it on my Phat as well

Good job Xenogears & Becus25

WHats up with all the random cfw releases? its just like when 3.52 and 3.71 m33 were released lol.

I hope D_A gets back in the game, i dont trust these devs, they havent been in the game long enough

 

[Sinnorf]

Since D_A didn't release 5.50 m33 so early (or at all), everyone wants to try to have a go and have a piece of the fame pie.

Yea I agree with angel on this point, atleast D_A makes sure it doesn't brick people's psp Q_Q
I'll be patient and wait for the M33 version..
