I can see his point, but i always welcome another M33 release :)

Majority of users will stay at 5.03 especially those of which have boards pandora does not work on
and that depend on ChickHEN for homebrew so this makes perfect sense.

Then could we get a plugin with this functionality instead? (the folder aspect, don't care about the ticker) I myself find the support very useful. I use my psp as my primary media player, but the psp doesn't have a playlist system, so I have to scroll through 300 titles to find the one I want, even with the fast scroll plugin this takes a while. With a plugin sporting this functionality I could actually organize my videos and music in groups that I use everyday. That would be very beneficial to me and many others.

I don't see how this "Makes perfect sense".
Custom firmware is for those with hacked boards, not those on T88v3's or 3K's. I know I would love the new features of 5.50 on my hacked slim, and I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of CFW users would too.

Well update to it, tinker with it, then get bored and miss homebrew then d/g back to M33
lol
its kinda poitless to be honest of this to be M33 cause all the games work, except psn, but im sure the will be a prx to work around it.

You can also organize all your videos and music on PC then use a card reader/writer to transfer to memory stick. You don't need you're entire library on stick then complain for some way to find what you need.

^ WTF? You don't understand what Sub-folder support is.

I think it's a shame we're skipping 5.50 M33, I was waiting for subfolder organization for alsmost three years... Bah...

Sony might release a 5.51 or 5.60 to patch the kernel exploit that ChickHEN uses, only then maybe a M33 could be released.

5.50 has no TIFF support therefore, ChickHEN will not work. No need for a patch as Sony removed complete support.

If i only have the talent to hack, don't you think it will be a challenge to hack those who have upgraded their PSP to OF5.50
