Im using 5.5 gen d3, so far so good, all homebrew still work and running good, but d3 using new encryted savegame, if you have old savegame from other firmware, it wont load up, showing data error/corrupted. There is a way to convert old save game to new one to use with d3 but take quite lot of step. So if you dont mind old save game, or you got a new psp, or you don't save any/new game yet (on old firmware), then you can upgrade to d3.

I face a same problem with yours, in the first place i was thinking wanna remove the umd power cable (as i dont used umd quite often), but it need me to open up my psp and i dont have a proper tools for it.

To replace the UMD, that gonna cost me a lot of RM. So i google the web and found a plugin for custom firmware to disable a umd drive in VSH/GAME/POPS mode, so its totally disable the umd drive. The plugin call noumd.prx try google it and put it on your psp if you used a custom firmware.

Hope thats help.

Thanks.

You also need to convert your saved games to new encryption that been use by 5.50 GEN-D3, otherwise 5.50 GEN-D3 cannot detect/load your 5.00 M33-6 saved games and will detect corrupted saved games.

You can follow the step in this:

Its a bit complicated, but this is the way that I know to use the old saved games on new 5.50 GEN-D3, maybe someone can share other simple way to convert the saved games.

Thanks.
