Ok guys, this is not yet official but it looks like homebrew extraordinaire Yoshihiro and the rest of Team GEN is already working on a new version of Custom Firmware GEN.

Ok guys, it's finally here. The highly debated PSP Go exploit by FreePlay has been released. Unfortunately, Sony discovered the loopholes of the save game exploit and quickly patched the game (now known as Archer Maclean's Mercury) with the release of PSP firmware 6.20. More after the break.

Sony's giving out a big firmware double-whammy to celebrate the PS3's third birthday. With Firmware 3.10 coming out for the PS3 today, Sony's following it up with the release of FW 6.20 for the PSP tomorrow in Japan.

*UPDATE* The firmware is now live in all regions. Full changelog after the break.

Do you use cheat devices for your games? Don't be shy. I'm not one to judge. Just want to say that if you do, then this was a good week to have a homebrew-capable PSP. We got updates for two different cheat-related apps in the past seven days. Incidentally, if you don't have a homebrew-enabled PSP yet, then the new 5.03GEN-B for HEN which was also released this week is for you. More homebrew news and updates after the jump!

The weekend's here but there's still no 5.03GEN-B for those who want to put some homebrew in their PSP-3000s thanks to more unforeseen bugs. Don't you just hate when that happens? Too bad too, since there was a nice crop of homebrew apps and games that came out in the past seven days. No worries, though -- the team behind the GEN firmware is still hard at work on a release. Hit the jump for a glimpse at the rest of the week in homebrew.

Here's some good news for those who have to rely on the HEN to get homebrew running on their PSP-3000s and 2000v3s. The GENyUS team is cooking up a revision for 5.03GEN that'll include some of the features found in 5.50GEN-D2.

Thanks to MaGiXieN for the heads up!

Due to some unforeseen bugs mucking up the works, custom firmware 5.50GEN-C at the start of the week turned out to be more underwhelming than we hoped. Good thing Team GENyUS was able to roll out a new revision a few days after, with another update launching in the days that followed. 5.50GEN-C may have set the week off on a sour note, but thanks to 5.50GEN-D things still turned out for the best. Read all about what else happened in the PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior.

Great news guys! For those who are still having issues with the latest custom firmware 5.50GEN update, Yoshihiro and and the rest of Team Gen will release a quick updater for 5.50GEN-D. This update will fix various problems encountered by some users like online issues, video output on some games and the recovery menu.

It seems the fix for the 480x272 AVC problem didn't affect custom firmware 5.50GEN-D's release at all. The new custom firmware from GENyUS is now available for download.

Thanks to steffen, cmbeke, and Jsanity663 for the tips!

Those who updated to 5.50GEN-C when it came out found that the release had issues with playing 480x272 AVC videos. The good news is according to MaGiXieN, that bug has been fixed in 5.50GEN-D. Hit the jump for a video.

Thanks for the heads up, MaGiXieN!
