Even though the GEN team are getting more and more popular, I think it's best for me personally to stick with M33 as well. Besides I'm in no rush to update my CFW anyway.

Buncha damn cowards, the thing works, jeez.

It's not cowardice it's caution. M33 firmwares retain the spirit of homebrew, it's not about iso's kid.

From what i hear much homebrew is broken on these gen firmwares.

Sounds good to have a newer firmware customized, but we care about homebrew here not piracy.

Not to knock the devs work either, it's good to have choice.

Peace

Right now I'm on 5.50 GEN-B2 and everything works perfect for me. And I mean everything.

All my emulators, plugins, ect.
Besides, GEN also has a lot of cool extras. Like a lot of great animated themes being released exclusively for GEN. As well as new .prx plugins.

GEN allows you to create a PANDORA right in vsh menu. It also allows you to boot directly into recovery from the xmb. GEN can also play a lot of the newer games that M33 will not.

GEN also allows you to have subfolder support in PHOTO/VIDEO/MUSIC. You could flash these modules to M33, but then the PSP would freeze if you use .mp4 videos...

Not to mention the BIG issue. M33 has being banned from all cool online features:

- No access to Playstation Store
- No online play allowed on most PSP games
- No remote play with PS3

GEN allows you to do all of that, and M33 does not.
Sorry, I love DaRk_AleX's work as much as the rest of you.
But 5.00 M33 is badly outdated And that is the truth.

Honestly, I would suggest that everyone update to GEN

I rather stick with my ps3 for psn and I would update to 5.50 gen but there's just one problem does this have 1.5 kernal support because I would never update to a newer firmware unless it had the 1.5 kernal subset because a lot of my homebrew is 1.5.Also the animated themes I don't really care about the original works the best for me. 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.
