Hey all I haven't been on here in a long time like 1 month and half or so. I was thinking about upgrading my CFW 5.00 M33-6 to the newest 5.50 GEN-D version. Now not sure if I should do it or not. My question for you guys is will I still get all the same benefits as I have on CFW 5.00 M33-6 now on 5.50 GEN-D? Like 1.50 kernel games(HB) working, HBs, .... I know I would be able to play games that require 5.55+ on 5.50 GEN-D.

Here's the features for 5.50 GEN-D:

* 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)
* 480x272 AVC Videos are supported

I think it supports 1.5 kernal but I'm not sure but most Homebrew should work. From what I hear there were so minor glitches but I think most if not all of them are fixed by now

O k. Thank you for the helpful info. Yeah I wish I was certain about the 1.50 kernel working on there... If ne1 else knows about the 1.50 kernel working in the newest CFW 5.50 GEN-D version it would be helpful. Like Hbs that require 1.50 to work and such.
