A happy new year indeed to all you readers! Well, what better way to usher in 2009 with a brand spanking new custom firmware, eh? I hear some of you guys are looking forward to even more PSP Updates for the next twelve months, so let’s kick off this year with a b-b-b-baaaaang!
This new PSP Custom Firmware 5.02 GEN-A comes from Miriam, over at PSPGen. It’s got quite a lot of features on its own, heck, even Bubbletune‘s very own Game Categories plugin was incorporated!
Requirements:
- A PSP with 3.52 M33-3 or higher.
Features:
- Suspend, Reset and Pandora options added in the recovery.
- Hide MAC Address can be enabled via configuration in recovery.
- VSH Recovery can now be opened with an option in the vshmenu.
- You can quickly exit the recovery by pressing the Select button.
- Game Categories Plugin by Bubbletune integrated (enabled by default, can be disabled in recovery).
- Option to reboot in to official firmware in the recovery, it will remain like this until the next cold reset.
- (Slim Only, support for the Phat PSP might be added later)
- Slim Colors Patch by Bubbletune integrated, enable in the recovery and flash 13-27.bmp to your flash0.
- This will allow you to use the Slim Colors on your Phat PSP.
- Higher homebrew compatibility compared to other 5.02 custom firmwares.
- Functional 5.02 pops (keep pops compatibility in mind)
The 1.50 Kernel Add-on for PSP Phat units is also included below.
There are more notes and instructions in the readme. It’s in English, so there’s no excuse not reading it – y’know, you should make that a new year’s resolution: go through readme files for anything and everything you download! Since Dark AleX‘s CFW is required for this, we’ve also included a link to it below.
Let the wine flow, we’re thanking our tipsters! Biig Biscuit, Michael D, MozyMan, and Fadil!
