Default is 5.50 GEN-D worth it YET?

I have had 5.00M33-6 for the longest time now because people kept giving me the impression that gen firmware was buggy and not of good quality. so for those of you that have 5.50GEN-D2 , does everything work without problems or crashes? does it work as well or better than 5.00M33-6? basically is it worth updating?

depends on your point of view I suppose, I'm stayin on m33 till the end, but GEN D does have its advantages (built in decryption) and the newer Sony features, but if you want a 1.5 kernel, stability (I say this because let's be honest the last few releases haven't been 100%) and of course more homebrew compatibility (there are a few that only work on m33 still) M33 is for you

You know the thing is, i have yet to have a problem with GEN and im on B2. But i think the problem is, i play ISO games, Emulators, and all the KUrok mods out there. But i think people are using other applications that are just more difficult to run on it. Also some plugins dont work like XCMB doesnt work well ive heard, its more of a compatabilty issue, like the XP/Vista Fananza

You just need to find 5.50 compatible plugins if yours don't work, which I've found there usually are.

Ive been considering going back to M33 recently. I hear GEN Team will be releasing a Speed Up Memory stick feature soon so If I do go back to M33, After the speed up is released I will switch back

^^is that really a big deal?? honestly, i don't notice a bit of difference without the speed up memory stick option. i just love the convenience of not having to decrypt anymore, rip my umd's to iso's and just place them on my psp and play, what could be easier?

with all the testing i have done on D2 and varius HB and plugins, i found that if a plugin don't work then in 99% of the cases sinply looking for a updated ver of that plugin fixed the issue. and i ended up with a plugin that had new features
