It seems the fix for the 480×272 AVC problem didn’t affect custom firmware 5.50GEN-D’s release at all. The new custom firmware from GENyUS is now available for download.

It seems the fix for the 480×272 AVC problem didn’t affect custom firmware 5.50GEN-D’s release at all. The new custom firmware from GENyUS is now available for download.

Here’s what’s new:

All features of 5.50GEN-B2 are available
Ability to run 5.51 + games without having to patch it (UMD or ISO)
Possibility to launch PSN demos requiring 5.51 + without having to patch them (as MGS for example)
Possibility to connect to the Playstation Store by the using of MEDIAGO, to retrieve games and goodies without having to install Fake USB or other complicated stuff.
Possibility to use the XGEN Updater to install the official firmware 6.10 (use it only if you have a Pandora XGEN to be able to return later in Custom firmware)
480×272 AVC Videos ere supported

An option to accelerate reading of the memory stick (the fatmsmod, I presume) is also in the process of getting ported to the 5.50GEN releases, so stick around for more updates on that.
