This video shows how to upgrade a hacked PSP to the latest hacked firmware 5.50 Gen-D3 in a very easy, detailed, and high quality way. If your PSP is in 5.50 Gen-B, you first need to upgrade to 5.50 Gen-B2; this video also shows that.

Watch in High Quality, and read the FAQ for questions!

========================================
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
========================================

1) What's new with Gen-D3?
* Ability to run 6.10 + games without having to patch (UMD or ISO)
* Ability to run games protected as Gundan vs. Gundam Naruto for example (UMD or ISO)
* Ability to lunch PSN demos requiring 6.10 + without having to patch

2) What firmware should I have for this?
- 5.00 m33-6 or 5.50 Gen-X (x= any before D3). If you're on 5.00 m33-6 and having an error running the application, upgrade first to 5.50 Gen-B and then watch this video. Follow these other videos I made to upgrade your PSP earlier:

3) For what PSPs does this work?
- Phat (1000) and Slim (2000)

4) For what PSPs this does NOT work?
- The slims with the ta-088 v3 motherboard, PSP 3000, PSP Go, not hacked PSPs, or PSPs with a firmware below 5.00 m33-6.

5) What is the difference between the Gen firmwares and the M33 firmwares?
- The m33 firmwares were created by Dark_Alex, probably the best PSP hacker there is. His latest firmware is 5.00 m33-6, and it's kinda outdated by now. The Gen firmware is created by another hacker, and it has all the functionalities as the m33 firmwares and a little more. Still, the 5.50 Gen firmware doesn't come with the 1.50 kernel compatibility (for phat psps). But in conclusion, the Gen firmwares are still hacker firmwares as M33, so they allow you to run hacked applications, games, etc.

6) Do the latest games work here?
- Yes!

7) It says Game Cannot be Started or it gives me an error while loading!?
- Either: your PSP is not hacked or you put the folders in the wrong place.

8) Does this update erase my files from my memory stick or anything? And can I delete the updater after its installation?
- The update doesn't touch your memory stick! All your files in it will still be there after the update! Still, beware that sometimes (rarely) upgrading causes your game saves to get corrupted; just in case feel free to do backup of them on your PC. And yes, you can delete the updater and its files after the installation
