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!

Homebrew coder Zer01ne has released a useful plugin that is compatible with CFW 5.03 GEN-A and the recently released GEN-B. Sedna is a simple PRX plugin that allows you to stay in the custom firmware even if you accidentally shutdown or restarted your PSP without using ChickHEN.

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!

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.

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.

Ok guys, this is it! Homebrew developer Yoshihiro and and the rest of Team Gen has finally released the much awaited Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-D2 Quick Updater to finally fix the issues that other users have experience while installing the previous version of 5.50GEN.

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!

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.
