Then GEN team pushes another update, to it’s popular CFW, 5.50 GEN-D3 that introduces several bugfixes from the previous releases as well as introduces better compatibility for games and plugins. Do note that 5.50 GEN-D3 is for hackable PSPs only. Read the Important warnings below:
If you have a PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA088v3 however, you can install 5.03 GEN-C.
Important: DO NOT attempt to install this on PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA088v3. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PSP IF YOU DO.
Important: If you are updating from 5.50 GEN-B, you need to install 5.50 GEN-B2 before proceeding. Otherwise, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PSP.
Important UPDATE: If you are having trouble playing the latest PSP Games, you may want to install the Prometheus-4 module or use the ISO Tool Patching guide. 
Requirements:
- A PSP with custom firmware installed AT LEAST 5.00 M33-6. Although the installer worlds on 4.01 M33, it’s better if you upgrade to 5.00 M33-6 to lower the risk of the installation failing. If you’re having problems installing 5.50 GEN-D, read the troubleshooting part below.
- PSP battery that’s at least 78% full
- Download: XGen Updater | XGen Updater
- Disable ALL plugins.
- Back up your save files (so that if they get corrupted, you still have backups)
How to install 5.50 GEN-D3 using XGen Updater
- Connect your PSP to your computer
- Extract the XGen Updater to your PC
- Copy the PSP folder and the 550.pbp file to the root of your memory stick
- On your XMB, go to Game > Memory Stick to start XGen Updater
- Select Enter on the screen above
- Choose Flash install CFW 5.50 GEN-D3
- After all process is complete, press X. Your PSP will reboot.
- Congratulations, you’ve just installed 5.50 GEN-D3
After installing GEN-D3, How about some Free PSP Games?
Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D3 Features:
- All features of 5.50 GEN-D2 and 5.50 GEN-D are available.
- Compatibility with games requiring firmware 6.10 and above (this includes the Demos available from the PSN)
- Play the following games, Tekken 6, Gundam vs Gundam, Phantasy Star Portable 2, Naruto, J-League Pro Soccer Club o Tsukurou 6 Pride of J, Naruto Shippuden Narutimate Accel 3, James Cameron Avatar The Game, Phantasy Star Portable 2, R-Type Tactics II Operation Bitter Chocolate, Bleach Soul Carnival 2, Battle Spirits Kiseki no Hasha, Yamada, etc.
Troubleshooting:
If you’re having problems getting the black screen when installing 5.50 GEN-D, you need to reflash your PSP to 5.00 M33-6. If you’re already using 5.00 M33-6, upgrade to 5.50 GEN-B2, then run the 5.50 GEN-D installer:
- Download: Hellcat’s Recovery Flasher
- 500.PBP | 500.PBP
Requirements for reflashing your PSP to 5.00 M33-6:
- Extract the Hellcat’s Recovery flasher and copy it to PSP\GAME folder
- Copy the 500.pbp to the Recovery folder (PSP\GAME\RECOVERY)
- Run Hellcat’s Recovery flasher from your XMB
- Reflash to 5.00 M33-6
- Restore your PSP to the original settings. No CXMBs, no fonts, etc
- Format flash1 and reset settings (recovery mode)
- Set theme to orginal Sony theme
- Turn off all plugins
- Reformat memory stick
Troubleshooting:
If you’re having problems getting the black screen when installing 5.50 GEN-D, you need to reflash your PSP to 5.00 M33-6. If you’re already using 5.00 M33-6, upgrade to 5.50 GEN-B2, then run the 5.50 GEN-D installer:
Requirements for reflashin:
If you don’t want to reflash, do the following:
If it still doesn’t work, just update to 5.50 GEN-B2 before running the 5.50 GEN-D installer.

I was using gen C full and tried to upgrade to GED D3 after the installation it did not reboot instead what happend was i got a dead PSP or a Black screen my memory card is fine. pls help i would try any solution.
The guide specifically said this:
Important: DO NOT attempt to install this on PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA088v3. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PSP IF YOU DO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’ve been trying to play SMT Persona for SOOOOO LONG!!!!
hey i have 5.03..can i convert it to 5.50 gen-d… because many new game does not work like fifa 11, smack down vs raw 11..help me…
I wouldn’t recommend upgrading to 5.50 GEN-D3 unless you’re sure your PSP is hackable. Unless you want to risk bricking your PSP.
Install the Prometheus firmware instead:
http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2010/06/install-psp-custom-firmware-5-03-prometheus/
man i have 5.03 gen-c….i need to play new games…can i hack it to gen-d and how….
Install the prometheus module: http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2010/11/prometheus-3-for-5-00-m33-5-03-gen-c-and-5-50-gen-d3/
5.50 GEN-D3 will brick your PSP.
my psp is psp 2004 and has a 5.50 software how can upgrade it to 5.50-d3 software so that i can play using the memory card
You need a pandora battery for that.
i dont have pandora battery what should i do……
is this compatible with psp 3006 and chickHEN mod R2?
Nope.
Important: DO NOT attempt to install this on PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA088v3. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PSP IF YOU DO.
so theres no other way to convert my version 5.03 to a 5.50 gen – d3?
You can still install it’s equivalent 5.03 CFW: 5.03 GEN-C.
And if you want to play the latest games, there’s the Prometheus-4 module.
how can i downgrade my psp gend3 to gen d?
Just run the installer (xgen updater) for 5.50 GEN-D. It’ll overwrite your cfw.
my psp is 5.00 m33-6.. i want to upgrade it to 5.50 gen d3.. i installed the xgen updater in my psp coz this is the one of the requirements in upgrading my psp.. it say above.when i attempt to open it in my psp it says corrupted data.. what shoul i do to install the 5.50 gen d3? why xgen updater is always corrupted data in my psp?? i installed it three times but still corrupted..
Err.. did you extract it?
of course i extract it… still corrupted.. what should i do?
Hmm.. I guess the logical explaination is that the file didn’t finish downloading properly. Redownload and copy the files to your memory stick again.
Hello atma xplorer, I have a psp1001 that just wont work with me. I tried from m33-4 to m33-6 (didnt work to D3), tried b1 and b2 update (though the system screen still said m33-6 maybe that’s the problem)
I tried GEN – D3. But after the install, the PSP just goes through the black screen n turnoff routine. I can’t seem to do anything :[
Help please, and thanks for everything
That sounds like a bad flash from the start. You’ll need a Pandora Battery to recover your PSP and reinstall CFW on it.
Thanks for your reply >.o
I did recover my psp to 5.00 m33-4 with pandora n magic.
I retried Gen-D3 multiple times, but no dice.
But i did find that my L-Button was stuck (go figure), so I fixed it up.
Do you think that was the problem? having a stuck L-Button or is it the flash thingy? do I need to 5.00 OFW or something?
Oh wowz, the L-button was the problem.
Got D-3 on there (happy me~)
I’m really glad, and really thankful for all your help. Your site helped me with 2 psps >.<
Happy Holidays~~~~
Hello..Excellent job you are doing here..
I have faced a major problem.I updated my 4.01 CFW PSP1000 to the 5.00 OFW by mistake instead of the 5.00 M33 and now the PSP can run any games.
Please tell me some way to change this.I don’t have a Pandora Battery so suggest some other method.
Thanking you in advance
This is your ticket to CFW again
http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2009/07/convert-your-psp-to-custom-firmware-without-pandora-battery/
Thanks a lot..but i don’t have ChickHEn R2 on my PSP.So will i need to install it?
In your guide it says it is for PSP 2000 and 3000 only.
Mini is If you have a PSP-3000 TA090v2, can I install this? Or any other suggestion?
Nope. Install this instead.

Actually I have used 5.03 Gen-C (Full)… Is this okay when I want to install some new games? Or its better to install Prometheus?
No, just install prometheus
I successfully installed gen d 3 on my psp phat. It worked fine so kudos to you guys however a rare bug happened where in I was moving around in the XMB system information then the VSH menu popped out then hanged my psp(then a weird german menu came up) then after than my Dpad and otehr buttons won’t work anymore. Only buttons working are volume etc. If I disable teh VSH menu in recovery it still does nothing. Any suggestions? Or do i have to Downgrade
Try reflashiing (reinstalling) 5.50 GEN-D3.
It could simply be a bad flash
How To Backup Save Files?, Like Saving The Games,Musics etc…..? Help/Reply please @sylv3rblade
Just copy everything on your memort stick to your pc.
Now, Ill Ask You, 1 And A Half Questions 1 and a half question: Where Is The Root Folder??
The root folder of your PSP is the main folder that you see when you connect it to your PC.

Enter the VSH menu (press select)
Check that your Game Speed is set to default, 233Mhz or 333Mhz (recommended setting).
i have a PSP go…is the 5 50 gen d3 going to work on this? im running on ver 6.20

Hi sylv3rblade,
Good Day!
I have a PSP 3006 model from Hongkong with 5.51 firmware version.
Just want to ask if its ok to use “xgen-550gen-d3″?
thank you to all who made this possible!
ayon
No. You’ll brick your PSP.
Get either:
6.20 TN-C: http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2011/01/install-signed-6-20-tn-c-hen-prometheus-iso-loader-on-your-psp/
or
6.35 Hen: http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2011/01/install-6-35-hen-prometheus-iso-loader-on-your-psp/
Hi sylv3rblade,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Appropriate so much!
another question?
What’s the difference between the two?
And can you give me which of the two is stable?
thanks!
ayon
Both are stable but it really depends on which dev you which to follow.
6.20 is being developed for by Total_Noob and 6.35 is being developed by multiple devs (though they have independent releases) like Liquizigong, Neur0n, etc.
Hi sylv3rblade,
thanks for the info!
Can i ask for the file in megaupload?
uploading is currently block in our office.
thanks,
ayon
Hi sylv3rblade.
I have a hackable psp-2000.
Which CFW is best for it now?
Should I stick with 5.00 m33-6 or should I update to 5.50 GEN-D3?
Pinoy here
Great job you´re doing here, getting much good karma for every brick you prevent xDDD ^^
btw. online infrastructure is working on 6.20 TN-C totally easy (don´t work on 5.03 gen-c even with PSNlover) !!
but some games (like dynasty warrirors strikeforce) don´t run.
6.20 TN-C is much fun !
a friend of mine just got black screen while running 5.50 gen-d3 installer on 5.00 m33-6 with psp fat.
Is you get this – try another memory stick !! is now working.
Hmm this is the first time I’ve heard of the Xgen Updater failing due to the memory stick. Thanks for the tip.
hii sylv3rblade n atma xplorer,,,,
I have a PSP-1001 with 3.80 M33….
can I upgrade it to 5.50 GEN-D3…
is there any risk if I do that (upgrade) ??
help me plizz… thx
As with all CFW updates, there is a slight chance of bricking (which can be resolved with a Pandora Battery) or having your saves corrupted (not much you can do here). Most of those incidents occur if you have any other plugin on your PSP so be sure to turn them off before updating.
hi, i badly need your help..i was trying to upgrade my PSP 1004 many times with 5.50 GEN- D3, currently it’s version 5.51, but everytime i did an upgrade it always shows, can’t open corrupted data…what should i do? can u pls guide me???
tnx..looking forward for your generous reply!
You can’t downgrade by trying to install this CFW. You need to upgrade to 6.20, run 6.20 TN, run Hellcat’s recovery flasher and downgrade to 5.50 GEN-D3.
Cud u pls give me the exact link Sir for this download you’re saying bec it’s quite confusing, a lot of 6.20 version i’ve found…tnx Sir, looking forward……..
Here you go:
6.20 TN-C: http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2011/01/install-signed-6-20-tn-c-hen-prometheus-iso-loader-on-your-psp/
Downgrade: http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2009/07/convert-your-psp-to-custom-firmware-without-pandora-battery/
Sir, i’m afraid i’m on the wrong track…
I followed the link u gave me and downloaded it. As per instruction, i will put directly the exracted PSP folder to the memory stick and i did follow all the instructions, but to my surprise, my unit just reboot automatically as expected BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGES AT ALL. When i check the version, still it’s 5.51 and i didn’t see the VSH MENU that have mentioned even if i pressed the SELECT….
SIR, really i’m getting paranoid of this one. Badly need your favorable understanding…Plssss help! I have extracted PROMETHEUS ISO LOADER to my computer but i will wait for your another instruction first before i’ll proceed. Plss tell me what to do with this now.. By the way, i did overwrite the new PSP folder fr the old, bec i was asked. Is it ok?
Read the trouble shooting part of the guide. You need to update to 6.20 OFW before installation, just follow the instructions there.
I’ve read the troubleshooting instruction but it clearly said:
If you’re not on 6.20 OFW and want to update your PlayStation Portable to accommodate 6.20 TN-C follow these instructions:
* Download 6.35 OFW for your PSP model: PSP-2000 | PSP-3000 | PSP Go
Now, i want to clarify sir if this download is applicable also to my PSP 1004, ‘coz if not, again, i want to humbly ask the link right for me… Thank yous so much , Sir…..
oops typos on my part.. It’s supposed to be Download 6.20 OFW. Sorry about that. the links are valid though.
Yep, it’ll work with your PSP-1000. Just use the 6.20 Updater for the PSP-2000: http://uploading.com/files/6ae59mdb/PSP_6.20_FW_UPDATE.zip/
My God Sir, what happened to my PSP, it was updated already to 6.20 as u gave me the link (TNX FOR THAT, very much…) and i have managed to open my ISO games already but since u advised me to download the HELLCAT’s RECOVERY flasher so i did before i suppose to proceed downgrading to 5.50 GEN D3….but my God, what is happening now after i press the X in which the hellcat’s will be installed supposedly, until now it is still LOADING…with a black background…HELP! HELP! HELP!!!!
Remove the battery. And reboot your PSP. Since you’re simply installing hellcat’s it shouldn’t cause permanent damage to your PSP-1000.
Ah I think I know what happened. The problem is that version of hellcat’s in the post isn’t yet updated to support 6.xx firmware.
Hi! can i install prometheus on my GEN-C (full)??? thnx in advance!!!
Follow the instructions on this page
http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2010/12/prometheus-4-for-5-00-m33-5-03-gen-c-and-5-50-gen-d3/
Hihi, my psp2000 is at version 3.71 m33-2. Can I update my software straight to version 5.50 GEN-D3 or do I have to update to some other versions before getting to 5.50 GEN-D3 ?
Pls advise, thanks a lot
Update to 5.00 M33 first then install 5.50 GEN-D3. It’s safer.
Sir, tnx for the advice to just remove the battery.. But i think, there’s a problem with this HELLCAT’s recovery i’ve downloaded bec if i tried opening it the second time, still the same problem occured…it simply hanged! Any more advice Sir? Should i need to download this thing? or better to remove this… afterthen, should i still continue downgrading to 5.50 GEN D3? What version could you best refer to my unit???? Thank you in advance for your patience, understanding and quick reply , Sir….
For now stick to 6.20 TN-C.
Sorry about that.
I forgot that I was in the process of updating the post (for downgrading from 6.xx as well as updating the download links) and mistakingly linked you to it
NO PROBLEM, Sir…the important is it didn’t cause a damage to my PSP and the good thing is, u gave me some tips to recover fr my old damn version, of which i could not actually open any of my games anymore before…thank you so much for your guides, it helped me a lot…
Am still looking forward for your updated links, Sir and hope you could advise me soon the best version for me… Godbless, Sir!!! More power….I’ll patiently wait, Sir…….Tnx
Sir, i’m here again…sori! i’ve read fr 1 of your replies the latest version of hellcat’s and compatible for 6.20 so i did overwrite my previous download.. Now, it’s finally working, thanks..but my problem again is how can i downgrade it now to 5.50 gen d3? Do i need to downloah Chickhen first as i’ve read there?? Plssss rep.tnx!
SUCCESSFULLY UPGRADED! ^_^
Thank you very much. Atma Xplorer is doing great!
hi sir… how can i watch youtube videos on my psp 5.50 gen-d3? hope you can help me…. Thank you..
hi! i really don’t know how to use this HELLCAT’s RECOVERY downloaded to my PSP 1004 fat, 6.20 version.. Can u pls help me how to downgrade it to 5.50 GEN D3? Which is more preferrable to use between the 2???
hello silverblade
i have psp 3004 and go to 5.03gen-a via chickhenr2. can i go for 5.50 gend3 safely? and when i do the install, do i need to be in ofw or cfw ?
thank you in advance
Nope. It’s not safe.
Try 6.20 TN-D or 6.35 Pro-B3 instead
i modded my psp to version 5.50-GEN D3 SO THAT GAMES WORK IN THE MEMORY STICK TOO.BUT NOW GAMES DATED BEFORE 2009 WORK VERY SLOWLY.SO,CAN YOU TELL ME A WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?MAIL IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Sounds like a bad flash, try reinstalling 5.50 GEN-D3 by running the XGEN Updater again. Before that however, please check the value game speed on your VSH menu and post it here.
is it necessary that i should change CFW5.00 m33-4 to m33-6 for upgading 5.05gen d3?
Nope. You can update directly to 5.50 GEN-D3
will this update work on my cousin’s PSP? his CFW is 5.00m33-4, will this update brick it?(his PSP) plz tell me how can i update his PSP into 5.50 prome-4! i have porme-4 updater and worked on my PSP but it doesnt work in his PSP, it says that the program was for gen d3 only, thats why i need GEN D3!!!!!! well sorry for the exclamation points… i really need some help here
There’s a prometheus-4 module for 5.00 M33. But if you want to install 5.50 GEN-D3 then yes, it will work with your cousin’s PSP. There IS a slight chance of bricking but that can be recovered using a pandora battery.
Hi! I have a PSP-2001. It’s software version is 4.01 M33-2. Is it okay to install this on my PSP? Will it brick my PSP? I can’t risk anything because I just spent like $50 for a new LCD screen and got it fixed. I don’t’ wanna brick it or anything. I Just need to make sure everything is gonna be fine before I install it.
Thanks!
Please upgrade to 5.00 M33 before upgrading to 5.50 GEN-D3. A lot of people had problems updating to 5.50 GEN-D3 from firmware versions older than 5.00
So after I upgrade to 5.00 M33, there’ll be no problem in upgrading to 5.50 GEN-D3. Is that right? Or are there still risks like bricking your psp?
There is always a risk involved in updating but yes, it’s relatively safer to update to 5.00 M33 then 5.50 GEN-D3
I tried to download the 5.00 M33 software and 500.PBP from the link you posted but it says my download has expired. I can’t download it. Is there any other site that I can download it from?
Hi, the link for downloading XGen Updater is not working. It says your download has expired. Is there any other site for download?
Reuploading to a mirror.
can’t wait
So how do I know what motherboard my PSP has? I just noticed what you posted above, that I shouldn’t install this on PSP-2000 TA088v3.
Since you have 4.01, you have an older model PSP meaning it’s fully hackable.
If you want more info (while waiting for the new download links.. my upload rate sucks :/), read this: http://www.atmaxplorer.com/2009/03/how-to-check-if-your-psp-can-have-cfw-installed/
thank you
Where’s the mirror?
Still uploading… :/ in a bit
Ok, it’s not like I’m rushing you or anything.
In fact, you’re a lot of help. Thanks!
Mirrors for the files you need:

thank you so much!
where’s the root of the memory stick?
If your computer reads your PSP/memory stick as F:\. place your files right there.
Uhm, in your post above, you said to copy the PSP folder and the 550.PBP on the root of my psp but a window pops up when I paste it asking if I should delete and replace the other psp folder. Should I ?
No. Just paste it over the existing PSP folder (unless you’re on a Mac). It will properly copy the files and folders into it’s proper place.
I don’t get it. I’m sorry I’m not really good at understanding english. Should I just replace the old PSP folder with the new one? There’s an existing PSP folder in my memory stick…
Yes just replace… You don’t need to delete it because all your saves are right there. Just copy the PSP folder from the download into your PSP. When you see the prompt to overwrite, just click yes.
PLease reply. I really don’t know what to do. I”m all noob to this thing….
hi.. i have a psp 2001version 5.51… i’ve been trying to upgrade my psp to 5.50 gen d3 many times.but the file said cannot open data is corrupted…. help pls.
Well you’re trying to install 5.50 on 5.51, the installation will always fail for that since you can only install firmware equal to or higher than your current firmware. If you want to install 5.50 GEN-D3, you will need a Pandora battery. However if you don’t have one consider installing either: 6.20 TN-E or 6.35 Pro-B5
hi, its me again.
i would like to ask where would i find the ;plugins; and how to turn it off. thank you. 
check the seplugins folder, the game.txt and the vsh.txt specifies which plugins you have installed.
and oh, how will i know the PSP mobo.? is it written somewhere in the device? thanks..
can i delete the X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder to remove the update application?
After updating yep, you can safely delete the update folder.
hoe do i know if my psp is hackable?
read this guide
I have psp-1000, 5.50 Gen-D2 is it safe for me to upgrade to 5.50 Gen-D and what is the lastest fireware for psp-1000 ?
I haven`t played mine in a while

hey,
i have psp 1004 of version 3.40 OE-A, need help to play ASSASSINS CREED which needs 6.00 or more to play. need a safer way to upgrade…
I have a question my psp is 2000 and have cfw 5.00 tzs-6 and i want to upgrade to 5.50 gen-d3, can do so with this tutorial? Is cfw 5.00 tzs-6 similar or equal to 5.00 m33-6?
Yes you can upgrade with this tutorial.
I bought a psp from ebay and it has a custom shell so I don’t know if its 2000 or 3000 series, it is not a fat one for sure… it does have 5.00 m33-4 on it. I tried installing the gen d3 but the psp just turns off, also i tried downloading the 5.00 m33-5 and the 5.00 m33-6 but it seems those files are no longer available for download. I want to be able to play the latest games what can I do?
I’m a noob at this..
So i firtsly extract the XGen..
Then put it on the root..
The question is, where is root? Dx
Sorry for my bad english and thankyou for your help.. ^.^b
Root is simply your memory stick
so, i just overwite the original PSP folder on my memory stick?
Or where/what folder should i put it?
Thx.. ^.^
Excuse me atma, Whats the difference between all these cfw’s and just the 6.39 pro-b6 fw? it seems like all of them do the same thing. wouldnt be easier if you just recommended the latest model?
CFW are permanent, LCFW are temporary in the sense that if your PSP looses power, you have to reinstall it again.
wait you said that all psp-1000′s are hackable right? well i put this one on mine earlier by making a pandora battery and mms. now when i start it nothing works. the directional pads wont make the cursor move. i cant do anything. but when i revert it back to 5.50 ofw it works again. any advice?

Thanks for you guides people!

Thank you for all your efforts! It is highly appreciated! Have a great life!
Alright. I have tried every possible thing but I still receive a black screen leading into a Restart for certain game isos like Birth By Sleep Final Mix and Dissidia 012. However some games do work like Crisis Core.
I have tried going into recovery mode and disabling/enabling every possible thing based on every guide i could fin on youtube and forums.
I’m much fed up becasue its not the memory card (formating does nothing), the iso (DLed many versions of game and none work) and M33 or Normal or Sony do nothing.
Please I am so lost it seems like no matter what i do certain games just will not work, HELP!!
Oh and I use a 1000 model (Phat) and the firmware version I use is 5.50 Gen-D3
The games you mentioned need to be specifically patched to work with 5.50 GEN-D3. You can try installing the prometheus module (currently prome-4) but it won’t work with some of the newer games.
Hi sylv3rblade,
My PSP is th fat version using system 3.40 oe-a. i want to play third birthday. Can i upgrade directly fro 3.40 to 5.50 GEN-D3?? or i need to upgrade to 5.00 m33-6?
thanks
Nope. You’ll really need to go through a “nearer” CFW in order to install 5.50 GEN-D3. You can upgrade to 3.52 M33 then upgrade 5.00 M33-6 then 5.50 GEN-D3. 5.50 requires at least a kernel at least or higher than 3.52 so trying to upgrade directly will fail.
DAYUM! okay, been trying to mod my psp 1001 for awhile with a stop at every turn!! i dont have another battery so im doin the pandora free way it think. its was at version 6.60, downgraded to 5.03, installed ChickHEN R2, now i have 5.03 Chickhen R2. I got the hellcat on there and it ran, but when it came to installation the highest version it had was 5.00m33-6. so i hunted for that software, tried to install and now it just says corrupted file!!!! would promethius help? what the next steps! i want my psp hacked to the best extent it can!!!! <3
I would suggest sticking to 5.50 GEN-D3 as it’s much more supported compared to 5.00 M33-6 which is essentially now a legacy firmware.

i have a psp 1000 with ver 6.60 pro b9 can i install ver 5.50 gen d3 on it …plz help me on this
Yes but you’ll need to install it via Hellcat’s Recovery (flashing using the xgen updater directly is dangerous).
Done successfully upgraded to 5.50 Gen-D3..
KUDOS to all who made this possible
