Alright just wanted to make sure but you can use time machine right?

yeah most NOT all homebrew works i have updated all except of NJ's cp1 cps2 mvs 1.5 kernel works and the link to the slim versions are broken on this site so i am going on a treasure hunt it should not take long i am going to see if it works on my psp 1000 with 5.50gen-b2 will post with results

ok just tested cps1 2.2.5 slim on my psp 1000 using 5.50 gen -b and it works so i expect all of NJ's emulators to work so it is well worth the upgrade for us home brewers hope this helps someone

well here is a update just tested cps2 2.2.5 slim and mvs 2.2.5 slim and they will not work on the 1000 and as you know the 1.50 kernel wont work as well no cps2 or mvs on 1000 psp with the 5.50gen-b2 but will most likely play on a 2000 so hope this helps someone

I can create a pandora battery on 5.00m33 via ultimate vsh menu so don't care about that.I just have one more question can you use timemachine to boot 1.5 firmware via gen because if I can I would gladly update.

You care about not being able to remote play between PSP & PS3?

How about being blocked from online play on many PSP games ??

Also, I have all the emu's in 3xx kernel. Instead of always trying to add 150k to your custom firmware, why not just update your emulators/homebrew ??

There are several options for 1.50 kerenl on 5.50 GEN-B2.

1) Time machine (working perfectly)
2) LEDA v2 (working with a lot of 150k brew)

Yeah I already updated to gen glad than I can play then ps1 classics on psn that I brought (ff7 and Medal of Honor Underground) and the best part is than they don't take as much spaceas ripping them plus I can go to the psn store again

. I used timemachine for that phat and everything works except for r-gear but I don't mind. And the reason I don't like use the 3.XX kernal is because the 1.5 kernal is almost indefentaly faster than 3.xx such as SNES ME edition and gpsp 0.9 offical has better speeds than takka edition. So that why I rather have 1.5 kernal. The only thing that I think the 3.xx kernal has advantage of is the fact that it slim compatlible and only the arcade emulator NJ's CPS1,CPS2,NEO GEO benefit from this due to the slim's increased ram and no cache loading excluding Neo Geo's Bigger roms such as (KOF 2002 and SVC Chaos). We'll Im glad I took your advise shizzy It feel good to have psn and 1.5 at the same time.
