News via pspita/pspgen

As announcedThe January Team has just released the new custom firmware update for the C 5.50GEN that will launch a UMD / ISO that require firmware 5:55 and 6:00 without having recourse to any procedure patch. Remember that this release is restricted to holders of PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 (TA-088v3 excluded). To simplify it even with custom firmware older, the team has thought to include the January update in a new version of the program XGEN Updater.
More to follow.

* UPDATE *
Start with an apology announcement published a few minutes ago on PSPGEN, where the team apologizes to all those who in these last hours they decided to upgrade to the new revision C, cf Gen in the hope of being able to use all UMD games / ISO requiring firmware 5:55 without using any type of patch. Before putting the new online version, we are told, had not yet planned to implement this new feature, which was then added by Yoshihiro last 24 hours after the usual routine tests. To avoid too much postpone the date of issue, the team decided to publish their work immediately, even before new checks on the stability and compatibility with all models of PSP.
To fix all the problems that have come to create in the previous release will be issued before long time (but probably not in the coming hours ...), a new CF 5:50 GEN-D without bugs or problems during installation.

So this is just an update to say Gen 5.50 D will come out soon enough with fixes for the broken Gen C which they just released? So why would we ever bother going with C in the first place if it fixed nothing wrong with B and just broke stuff? Im just lost on the prospect....

Oh well, wait for D begins.

They were a little too quick on releasing the firmware that it didn't undergo the testing that it really needed. So, they are getting it tested and fixing up any bugs they find and release it as GEN-D

Ehh, so far no bugs to report. I updated and the only thing I needed to do was format Flash1 and reset settings. So far no issues.

You do realize Sony changed the firmware requirement for PSN to 6.00 just a few days ago. The GEN-C didn't break it.

on that - My bad.
