PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-C Released (Updated)

(UPDATED) Due to the issues raised with the CFW I decided to take off the download link. Please wait for the next issue from Yoshihiro and the rest of Team GENyUS.


The much awaited news last week is here... Yoshihiro's CFW 5.50 GEN-C. Please read all of the information as well as the comments from the source before you hit that download link, install on your PSP and feel sorry because you disregarded this.

Quoted from greg of psp-hacks:

My PSP just finished flashing Yoshihiro’s 5.50 GEN-C… Sadly PlayStation Store access remains blocked. Otherwise, it is what it is… Play 5.55+ required games without the tedious prerequisites — decrypting, patching, rebuilding… You know.

Only install 5.50 GEN-C on PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models. Do not install on a PSP-3000 or any PSP with a TA-88V3 board.
Note: If the XMB freezes after installing this update, boot (holding R-Trigger) into the recovery console and browse to Advanced -> Format flash1 and reset settings.
Another note: Personally, I don’t recommend updating just yet… Refer to the comments to see what I mean. Although, you can be a sport and install it, report bugs you encounter, and Pandora back afterward. Expect a patch or two soon as well as an option to speed up memory stick access.

Things you have to take note before installing:

1. This CFW is for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 v1 and v2 ONLY
2. The 5.03HEN-A will be updated shortly with the same opportunities
