Here is a guide That I have found online that will guide you step by step on how to install PSP Custom Firmware on your PSP. Make sure to follow instruction carefully to avoid any issue with your PSP or a brick PSP. Remeber to back up all your flash) files from your PSP just in case something goes wrong you have a away of restoring your PSP back to the way it was.

This is the tutorial guide on how to install PSP CFW 5.50 Gen-C

STEP (1)

preparing the PSP (must have a PSP cfw installed already )

-firstly set the original theme settings->themes -> original

-next DISABLE EVERY PLUGIN you have enable (make sure you reboot AFTER there all turned off )

-it might be an idea to backup your PSN just in case .

STEP (2)

download PSP Custom Firmware 5.50 Gen-C which is about 27mb from here http://www.psp-.tk/psp.php?148 ….

STEP (3)
open the file , extract the entire contents to MS0:\ or K:\ whatever drive letter you have the psp assigned to , it will ask to replace some folders, allow it, and replace any files it asks make sure not to skip anything, All files and folder have to be replace .

STEP (4)

go to GAME->MS->xGEN installer and launch it

STEP (5)

press enter, then choose install 5.50GEN-C make sure its plugged in or has FULL battery.

NOTICE After selecting this you cannot turn back, do not pull the battery, remove power cable, put it too sleep/turn off and so on, just put it on the table and watch!

STEP (6)

Choose reboot X instead of shutdown O but i guess that makes so difference..

check your system info, if all went well you should have 5.50 Gen-C

NOTICE PSPGen recommend wiping flash1 so ensure no compatibility problems, not sure why but follow the link below to do this, i did, and I at the same time while in the recovery menu activated the VSHMENU.

Format Flash1 to restore the default settings

Here is a universal solution to solve most bugs. It is strongly advised to do each update custom firmware to avoid problems. This manipulation (if you follow the tutorial below) is safe! In fact, despite the name to Fear is nothing but a reset user settings (username, wireless connections, date / time etc. …), but it allows d ‘ avoid some bugs.

Note: If you have updated 5.50GEN C leaving a special theme on your PSP, it will not start prior to this manipulation. So do this operation after the update:

How?

For that, he must go to the famous “Recovery Mode”, a vital element of custom firmware.

There are two ways to access the recovery:

1. Press the power button height 5-10 seconds (to shut it down completely, not pause). Press and hold R and start the console.

2. If you can not access the recovery by the 1st method, possibly unplug the power cable, turn off your PSP and remove the battery and replace it. Press and hold R and start the console.

You should have a screen like this:

Now that you’re in the recovery menu, go to “advanced”:

Go to “format flash 1 and reset settings” and press X to format your FLASH1.

The operation is almost instantaneous, and your PSP will reboot and asks you to enter your username, time, etc.

So now you will want to check that all your plugins are working with 5.50GEN-C, if u had 5.50GEN-B2 then it won’t matter too much, But users who upgraded from 5.00 M33 may have some issue with plug in. Is best not to enable them and update them to their latest version for PSP CFW 5.50 Gen-C compatibility .

EDIT: I notice that many people cannot play isos, in this case enable the vsh and change the ISO drivers, the vshmenu MUST be changed, or change the drivers in the recovery mode….
