PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-C Released

Update: Ok, so 5.50 GEN-C is cursed… GENyUS and Yoshihiro are working to get GEN-D out the door. Don’t turn that dial; stick around.

Update: Way too many problems… Download pulled. 5.50 GEN-C2 coming soon.

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.
