It Seems the Gen Team have taken over the mantle for Custom Firmwares and the news from PSPGen is that a new version of the Custom Firmware is arriving in mid December, might be a good time now to start updating from your M33 Firmwares up to the Gen Firmwares, heres the translated news from french site pspgen:

The firmware 5.50GEN-D2 and 5.03HEN-B are now online for a while and they have demonstrated their stability.

However, new games coming out and their protective anti-custom firmwares worries begin to ask people who buy their games because UMD do not work necessarily in the state. It is also irritating to see that these protections bother most gamers who buy their games than those who download illegally. Indeed, in general, the ISO is patched or modified to switch to a custom firmware and it crashes so only people who buy their games. This tends to force a user non-hacker who wants to continue to stay in Custom firmware to take advantage of the underground, to dive the wrong side of the force to play his game, even if he has bought.



What's new in these new versions:

Both options are already installed and working perfectly.
Compatibility with games / demos from the PSN sold until Listed
(Tekken 6, Gundam, etc..) - OK
Compatible with UMD games sold until Listed
(Tekken 6, Gundam, etc..) - OK

What's possible in these new versions?
These options are under development. We try to establish in the D3 but nothing is yet clear on these points.
Support for the new Go! Cam (with the fouls Invizimals) - Ongoing.
This will enjoy invizimals and Eye of Judgment. The addition of the compatibility of this new camera will be tried as soon as we receive our copy.
Support for the NIDS 6.0 - Ongoing
Yoshihiro working on the addition of 6.0 nests on 5.50GEN. This would launch SenseMe and Digital Comics. For the moment this possibility is in its infancy.
Network Update - Ongoing
It is posssible to update the custom firmware via internet.

And the release date?
We decided the releaser 5.50GEN-D3 and 5.03GEN C December 15, 2009. This should help to finalize all the points we have set ourselves.

So who on the M33 Firmware is now ready to move on ?

only thing is now i need to remember or find a decent tutorial/guide to update to the latest version of the gen firmware.

im terrible at remembering

Try XGEN Updater v4. It directly updates your CFW to 5.50 GEN-D

Well i been on 5.50GEN D-2 about a week now and apart from a few minor compatability issues i've had no real bother with it, i guess i'm a proper GEN convert now, and from now on i'm gonna try not to listen to the M33 fanboy doom sayers on stability issues.

On M33, I have popsloader set up to load one of many PSX pops versions. Does that functionality exist on GEN? That's really my main concern.

Oh, and does that XGEN app upgrade from M33 to GEN or should I do a wipe first?

Yeah Popsloader works on 5.50GEN and it just installs normally over M33, just follow link by Nokiaman for Xgenupdater because it includes 5.50ofw and does auto patching.

HORRAY, the people with psp 3000 are not being forgoten and we can play the new games with the protection. I play umds and the new protection worries me but thanks to the update i can rest at ease. GREAT WORK GUYS

I converted to the Gen Firm some time ago, but for some reason when I went from gen b to gen d my psp got a bit messed up, there were some weird slowdowns while playing videos.

I had to go from 5.00 M33 straight to Gen D to fix it, everything is ok now and I can play new games
