Err...you have to decrypt the games for GEN??? Don't know how you missed that...plus in your own slightly modified words... "The latest GEN has no access to the store at alllll."
Why would someone be stupid enough to run 5.00M33-6? Perhaps because they actually want a firmware that was made by someone who knew exactly what they were doing, rather than one made by cobbling bits together frankenstein style. I know that you're relatively new to the PSP but your arguments for not using M33 don't add up......GEN can't get on the PSN either(even though you don't even need to go on the PSN via your PSP) nor can it run undecrypted games. The only thing you appear to be hoping for is multiplayer gaming once more (which i have no interest in)
GEN team are nowhere near on par with DAX....all they've done is modify the M33 work that DAX had done in the past. All those waiting for some amazing firmware from GEN better have some kind of amazing breath holding skills....one of the staff on DAX's forums even showed how the hasty patching of GEN B firmware meant that it doesn't even uninstall correctly!
You've haven't even been around the PSP CFW "scene" for a year Brian...rather than criticise someone who has why not just hold the adjectives. Why do you think we've had all these patching/decrypting apps and bug fixes if GEN are really so great and Dax is such a loser? GEN are probably doing some fast learning about making CFW, and personally that's not the sort of firmware i'd want on my PSP.
I have no doubt that some form of patch/update will allow PSN access again, but putting your hopes in GEN is in my opinion as stupid as you think it is sticking with M33.
