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.

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!

The recently released Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-C didn't fare well with the PSP community because of various system freezes and other bug reports, but now it seems everything has been fixed and the new update is ready for upload.

The much-awaited 5.50GEN-C custom firmware had its share of problems upon launch. There were reports of freezes, although they seemed to be dependent on the PSP model. PSPGEN's MaGiXieN has moved to address these issues as well as announce that work is proceeding on CFW 5.50GEN-D.

Despite Sony's efforts to keep homebrew out of their PSP handheld, the homebrew community is still going strong. This week saw news of Sony-instigated blockages, which will hopefully be circumvented by the newly-announced (and not yet released) new CFW update from the GEN team. All the big updates in the PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior after the jump.

Sony has announced that a new PSP firmware update version 6.10 will be released very shortly. According to Eric Lempell, PlayStation Network Operations, this is a big update in preparation for the launch of PSP Go. All PSP Go owners are advised to download the update to ensure full compatibility with MediaGo and with all PSP titles. Check out the list of features after the break.

*UPDATE* PSP FW 6.10 now available!
