Random FAQS:

ilostchild ask:
Anyone else notice this, I got the download, but when I updated updated 5.51GEN?
Is this correct or a mess up on my part?


Yaourt123:
It's because of the recent release of the official 5.51 firmware from Sony.
A 5.51GEN will be released soon. A 5.51GEN will be released soon. So, there
is already some informations set to 5.51, but this is really the 5.50GEN !


why did you remove game categories?

Xeiyanide: Bubbletune had agreed only to the use of these so-called plug-only for
the previous firmware GEN. He recently revoked his consent.


why did he do that?

MaGiXieN: We had agreed to the version 1 but version 2 prefers to see only plug-in.


will you release DC for CFW 5.50 GEN-A

MaGiXien: yes. exptect DC8 for 5.50GEN


will iRShell work with this CFW?
MaGiXien: iRshell will be corrected at best.


Mely and image ask: When I went to access PSN store, the console tells me: "A software update is required".
Is it normal? Or is it because of 5.51?


MaGiXieN: This error is a bug in the SLIM to be corrected and posted quickly

[insert custom user title here]
does this version have the ms speed fix?
btw, what are the differences beetween this and 3.50 M33-6 (besides the official stuff)

Quick question. You can still create a Depertar de Cementario memory stick while your PSP is running 5.50GEN-A right? Because I tried to update my Depertar to the latest version and all of a sudden it won't work correctly. Whenever I go to test the firmware with Pandora, a message comes up saying that the settings are corrupted...

Not trying to throw the thread off topic, just wondering. :smile:

This update bricked my psp.
I ran the program,

"Please wait...I need work.
Success...."
or something like that.
then my psp went black and I can't restart it no matter what I do.

so I have to reinstall CFW on it now -.-
I'll only be trusting M33 team in the future from now on.

what the modded popsloader for 5.50 GEN-A bricks your PSP?.
could someone check this? please!!.
so maybe Team GEN gonna revise the popsloader?!!., but then Great Job for them that they make a CFW on 5.50 anyway!
so this will be another reason that there are many people using M33!!,.

Using a PSP-Slim Ice-silver(mobo TA-88 ) CFW 5.00 m33-6.
