UPDATE - GEN-D has been released
look below for update

It's here! The one that we've been waiting for and the one to stir up your lazy Sunday. Custom Firmware 5.50GEN-C is now out from Team GEN! This release finally allows you to install and enjoy all the games that requires FW 5.55 and 6.00 WITHOUT having to patch anything.

No, this will not work on a ta-088v3 Slim, 3000, or Go. If you try it, your PSP will permanently brick.

Things you have to take note of:
1. This CFW is for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 v1 and v2 ONLY
2. The 5.03HEN-A will be updated shortly with the same opportunities

And for the much-awaited Changelog:
* Ability to run 5.51 + games without having to patch (UMD or ISO)
* Ability to run the demos PSN requiring 5.51 + without having to patch them as launching AMS To PSN
* Connect to PSN via MEDIAGO without having to install complicated utility (option in beta yet)
* You can use the XGEN Updater to install the official firmware 6.10 (For use only if you have a Pandora XGEN handy to be able to return later in Custom firmware.

Known bugs:
* IRShell can no longer launch ISO patch but the patch will be released in a few minutes
* Video playback 480x272 raises concerns but a fix is being studied.
* The option to accelerate the reading of MS is being ported to 5.50GEN.

I just posted the news, I don't use GEN, I kept my psp at 5.00 M33-6. I have a few of the latest games, and had to patch them to get them to work with M33-6. Still waiting on the verdict of which is better. My nephew was running GEN-B and said that he wants to switch back to cfw 5.00 M33-6, he thinks that GEN cannot read the memory stick fast enough.
