PSP developer Yoshihiro and the GENyUS team is working on a PSP Eboot / Game decrypter, that will patch 5.55 firmware games to work on ChickHEN enabled PSP-3000’s running Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A and also PSP-1000’s and PSP-2000’s on Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-A to B2.

But what we can gather it will be used in conjunction with UMDGen 4, so experience of UMDGEN is required.

Yes, to all you PSP-3000 users. Its for the PSP-3000 too. No need to keep asking for a solution as it’s coming!. But for those of you that can run ChickHEN R2 & CFW 5.03 GEN-A and haven’t upgraded past firmware 5.03.

If you have Firmware 5.50 on your PSP-3000 your out of luck I’m afraid.
