[Release] IrShell Patch - btcnfpatch.prx for CFW 5.50

[bosshunter]

So here it is.
For those who don't know what it is, this is the patch that you need to install in order to play ISOS and specially to improve stability to IrShell on CFW 5.50.

Note 1: PSX games will only work with flash POP Ver (won't work on PSP's 2000 with MHU though). With Popsloader you'll get an error.
Note 2: It is only for firmwares 5.50 MHU or 5.50 GEN-A on PSP 1000 or 2000. -Tested on both. (It will not work with GEN-B.)
Note 3: This utility touches a file in flash0 so USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Make sure you have:
- IrShell 5.0 installed.
- Plugins in game.txt are disabled (If not you'll probably get a black screen when running the prx. Just do a hard reset if this happens. Then try the patch again after disabling the game.txt plugins. Kinda looks like a pain but.. You only need to run this once!).
- Replaced the provided IRSHELL folder in your memory stick.

Instructions: (same as the old IrShell patches)
- Run IrShell
- Open Directory View and go to ms0:/IRSHELL/PATCH/5.50/
- Run btcnfpatch.prx
- Press X to start patching
- Wait a few seconds and you're done (you should see the following screenshot on your PSP if the update is successful).
- You can now re-enable your plugins in game.txt.

I've been waiting for this to come along ever since you've made one for CFE users! Just applied the patch and everything's working perfectly! Running games from IRSHELL, disabling MagicGate, speeding up the boot time, entering Videos, and exiting USB Mode!

Thank you SO much for this! :Jump:

EDIT: I forgot to add that I am currently running 5.50 GEN-B on a PSP 2001 and the patch seems to work fine here.

Well done! Works with 5.50 GEN-B for me too. Thanks!!!

[sonamta]

Thanks for the patch man!!

[Torch]

Why won't it work with GEN-B?

[niobe]

don't work on PSP-1000 with 5.50GEN-B IRSHELL it is impossible nor start :Argh: with 5.50GEN-A works fine

I'm curious to know as well... I've also got a 1000, and can't decide if I should go to Gen-B or to MHU to use this. Any help will be much appreciated.

This is awesome !!
Thanks bosshunter.

BTW - this is working fine with my 5.50 GEN-B, PSP 2000 :)
The only thing that doesn't seem to be working is the IR Shell Multi-Tasking function.

Other than that it seems to be working perfect.
Much thanks for this :)

Sorry, I've tried this on 5.50GEN-B (I know, it's not supposed to work) and nothing works.
Why not doing a patch for -B? Who's using -A??

The only thing that doesn't seem to be working is the IR Shell Multi-Tasking function.

Other than that it seems to be working perfect.

Even usbhost redirection, music player and configure screen are working? Not here. PSP 2004.

Mr_Shizzy: Can you explain how you got it working? I got 5.50GEN-B too, on a Slim, and I can't get anything working...plus, this bosshunter's explanation is really bad (sorry, but it is imo).

bump?

nvm, some GEN team member is launching the B2 patch today. Maybe this one will be a working one! :)

archman, don't quad post again. Just edit the first one. Anyways, it is already released. If you mean the 5.50 GEN-B2.
