Custom firmware 5.50GEN-D now out

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.

Thanks to steffen, cmbeke, Jsanity663, and tstamper01 for the tips!
