It was a week full of bittersweetness -- for those who have PSP Gos at least. Team Typhoon, the fellas behind ChickHEN, blew a lot of minds by showing proof of homebrew running on the PSP Go. The bad news is they have no plans of releasing their HEN. There's still hope, though. Homebrew dev Freeplay is still hard at work on developing an eLoader for the download-only handheld.

Mootjeuh has released a handy library for those who prefer using C/C++ to code their PSP homebrew projects. This library, called Easy3Dccp, is a collection of functions that makes it easier for devs to use the PSP's 3D engine.

The PSPGen team sure tries hard to make good on their promises. After pushing back the launch of CFW 5.03 GEN-B for HEN due to some last minute bugs last night, now we are off to have a merrier Halloween, thanks to the finally and fully launched product. Although they were not able to overcome the bug that presented itself at the last minute, we still very much appreciate their efforts for the homebrew scene.

Thanks to Eric dB and animebuster for the heads up!

Magixien has posted an important announcement on PSPGen's site regarding the release of their much-awaited 5.03GEN-B for HEN (PSP-3000). Unfortunately, it's been delayed due to a "last minute bug".

An update just went up on PSPGen's site, and in it came the announcement that the much anticipated Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-B is in the process of being finalized. Said their teaser, "You have a PSP-3000 (or PSP-2000 v3) and official firmware higher than the 5.03? This announcement will make you happy..." Then what are you waiting for!? Check out the full article for this happy news.

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.

It's here! The one that we've been waiting for and the one to stir up your lazy Sunday. Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-C is now out from Team GEN! This release finally allows you to install and enjoy all the games that requires FW 5.55 WITHOUT having to patch anything.

To all the naysayers still doubting the authenticity of Freeplay's work on the PSP Go, here's something that will definitely change your mind. No less thanMaGiXieN of PSP GEN has tested the hack and has given his word - the PSP Go hack by Freeplay is not a fake. Check out the video right here.

Homebrew developer Yoshihiro is back  to release a new update for his excellent PSP Games Decrypter. The latest update is based on the recently released EBOOT.BIN Patcher that allows you to play games that requires the OFW 5.55 on CFW M33 and 5.03 GEN. The new version of the decrypter also offers a better compatibility that will come handy for those who can't access the EBOOT patcher in Windows.
