PSP Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B Released

PSP-3000 and TA-088v3 owners — it’s your time to shine… Or at least I hope it is… Yoshihiro and Team GEN have released their highly anticipated PSP Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B for all ChickHEN-enabled handhelds. It’s on you; I don’t have a PSP-3000 to test with… So whether your 5.03 GEN-B experience be a positive or negative one, I ask you leave it below.

Core features:

• Play games (UMD or backup) requiring firmware 5.50+, including 6.xx
• Play games that introduce their own cfw detection / protection
• Play PSOne games
• Access to the VSH and Recovery Console

Known bugs:

• MGS demo refuses to run
• The Recovery mode menu is “mixed”

Keep in mind: you need a PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with the TA-088v3 board. Your PSP also needs to be running [official] firmware 5.03; this is required for ChickHEN.
