    So I've been running the 5.00 M33-6 on two of my PSPs (one is my sister's) for a while now without any issues. However, it seems that some of the more recent games won't work on it, says it requires an update.

    I've perused the forums here a bit, and it seems there are a billion different firmwares out now, and all of them do something different. I noticed that DarkAlex doesn't seem to be making them anymore? Bummer.

    My question is, which firmware should I upgrade to? I'm using Phats, have a pandora's battery, etc. All I really require is keeping the ability to cheat :-) I don't do anything crazy with it, just play games is all.

    just look up prometheus, get the version for 5.00, problem solved, you keep 5.00 m33 and play the newer games

    Interesting, didn't see that one.

    I just updated one of them to the 5.50 Gen D3 and now all the saves are corrupted lol. I guess I'll reupdate to that one. Thanks.

    5.50 gen is 5.00 m33-6 with more menu options and a lil more functionality.awhile back dark alex allowed them to make reverse engineering and it all works fine.some people i understand have an issue when loading 5.50 gen d3 but its more than likely the loader your using.5.50 gen d3 works uncorrupoted usually on a pandora and a mms method.not from the game folder itself.i learned this when i tried my mms maker guide and then tried the gay loader without the patch to run it in the pandora mode.pandora mode never glitched whereas i was having some issues(forgot what) when i loaded it normally.it all depends though what your fancy is really.just dont act like the gen is bad cause its no different from the m33 if you realy know about it

    I know how to make a MMS for installing 5.0 M33, but how do I make one to install 5.50 gen?

    go to my guide for all that, section I

    with your data corruptions, i have alternatives to helping keep that from happening but pretty much any prometheus udpater (m33 or Gen) will in fact cause that to happen.

    now, if you go to section VII in my guide under option 1, using an app called psp iso tool, you can patch fix your iso's so you don't need to use prome-2 and this will also allow your data saves to remain uncorrupted.

    now with the Gen D3, i prefer D2 myself and then prome-2 updated, but i have a fixer app for the corruptions as well...it's all in my Gen section of my guide.


    i know this sounds like a lot but that's CFW lol...anything you need clarifying on just post up either back in here or if you use my guide you can post in there as well...everything in it i have run 1st hand and wrote out while doing every process step by step...so don't hesitate to ask.
