    I installed C and played dirt 2 and GT, wasn't overly moved by either game, Might update to D2 in a bit for the amusement.

    Gen-C was a bit sketchy, updated to Gen-D2 and all is well. Can put the psp back in the drawer now.

    make sure you put the 550.pbp on the root of the memory stick (Not in any folder)

    yeah from what I can gather, you need to install atleast Gen-b2 before using the updater

    the quick fix just goes in the same folder as the same other updates u will have used before - I think u still need the 5500eboot thing on the root of the memory card though.
    the quick fix only updates the latest firmware (d2 I think) if u dont have that on already it wont work

    Sorry just read your posts above...
    Are you still on the M33 update as u stated above? and no u don't need the pandora battery if u have any kind of custom firmware installed already.
    If you are are still on firmware M33 then go on psp hacks and get the Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B, it should unzip in the exact the way it should be put on your memory card (your better off just erasing your card and starting fresh if your cards full of folders etc (note if u do format the card let the psp do it not a memory card reader on your pc as this can sometimes cause issues)
    once u have that on your card just turn on your psp and go to the memory card and run the installer - make sure u have the charger plugged in at the wall also.
    After you`ve done that get the5.50 Gen-C and do the same -then get the 5.50Gen-D etc etc
    it sounds long winded and there maybe a quicker route to take but thats how I did it and it didnt take me more than half an hour from start to finish.
    the 5500pbp should stay on your memory card root all the time while doing updates to the firmware.

    Hope that helps.
