Homebrew coders Xenogears and Becus25 is back on the scene to release their own custom firmware for version 5.50. The Custom Firmware 5.50 MHU is compatible to all PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models except for PSP owners with TA-088v3 mobos.

To install the CFW:
  • Copy the UPDATE folder into PSP / GAME
  • Copy the FW 5.50 in the UPDATE folder and rename it SCE.pbp
  • Start the application
  • At the end of this update, when prompted, press x to restart the console
And just a little note from the devs, you won't be able to run games using Sony NP9660 driver in this version so for the mean time, use the M33 driver instead. These and other problems will be addressed in future update so stay tune.

Thank you Xenogears and Becus25.
Questions:

Tags: Sony, Custom Firmware, SCE, becus25, PSP-3000
So, the 3000k is in the tag for what reason?
Does it run on the 3000k?

And what is the point other then to cause confusion.
It doesn't sound better is it better then Gen?

I do love the CFW Enabler. That Rocks.

Please, somebody who has tested this be more descriptive.
Revovery in vhs menu? VHS menu?

Thank you,
lovehate

Tag removed, article fixed. Thanks for the heads up. And as the article states it's only compatible to all PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models except for PSP owners with TA-088v3 mobos.

 » Which?

I am using 5.00 M33-6, do I upgrade to 5.50 GEN-B, 5.50 MHU or stick as I am?

Recent events have led me to believe that DAX was right, a 5.50 M33 really is pointless considering you can flash the .prx and .rco files from 5.50 and get yourself the subfolder support. When it comes down to it, 5.50 is only good for PSN connectivity and to play the most recent UMDs, so unless you have your hands on a really recent game or you somehow have fallen to PSN, just stick with 5.00 M33-6, I use it, I modified the flash for subfolders, and I couldn't be happier. Besides, I believe that if M33 made it, there must be something useful in it. CFWs like these are popping up everywhere because people don't enjoy being a version behind.

skips the version check. And theres a plugin to appear as the newest version to PSN i think.

But M33-6 doesn't work with PSN any more, right?

   Re: Luigi Panache - 2009-07-15
 » Nope,

It doesn't. That's why I use 5.50 GEN-A. I've had no problems whatsoever in switching either.

Looks like all they did was hex edit their names in and accidentally break a No-UMD driver.

 » I don't know....

bout this one. 5.50gen-b has been working great for me....
I don't think I'll be trying this one. It sounds very unstable.

   by tainogunslinger - 2009-07-14
 » ok...

I will try this out on my PHAT later this week.

There aren't many details on this so I guess that is the only way to find out what works and what doesn't w/ this version.

I wanna be able to play on PSN again, but still keep the ability to use my CXMB themes, homebrew, etc.

 » This is great!

Its exactly like M33 except its more up to date! now i just wish PSN/Resistance worked with it :'(

 » This is awsome

This make GEN look like crap. All my hombrew and emulaters are working in this firmware. It works perfect. Just use M33 driver to play iso's. I hope they make a popsloader for this firmware because everything else works on it.
