NEW CFW : 6.20 MAD-001
Cant provide Source, cant provide links. Against the rules. But yeah, looks like the guy was for real about his 6.20 MAD. No homebrew is a bummer, but hey, a more stable version is coming in 2 days. This is just a beginning and IS PREMATURE. It was leaked from a closed betatester after the japanese blog got literally raped with hateful comments, writing it off as a huge FAKE. I will update this thread with all information I find.
Reportedly has a lot more issues on PSP Phat, I counsel against using this firmware. It's not work the risk. Especially you 3000 users.
DONT RISK IT. I WILL UPDATE THIS POST WHEN A STABLE VERSION IS RELEASED (IF EVER).
I merely post this for DISCUSSION.
DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS FIRMWARE YET!!! BE WARNED, IF YOU HAVE A 3000 SERIES PSP YOUR PSP WILL BE IRREPARABLY BRICKED.
EDIT: I HAVE PERSONALLY TESTED GOD EATER ON MAD-002 TEST TO BE WORKING BUT FREEZING IF YOU TRY TO SAVE.
The Firmware is very buggy and I am in the process of testing other games as I write this. Homebew DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
DETAILS ON INSTALL:
I installed MAD TEST-002 on top of GEN-D2. Make sure you have OFW 6.20 and the Eboot in the right places. It will give you corrupt error several times, I tried dozens of times and it eventually froze, then got through. There are many versions circulating the internet, some are TEST 002 and some are TEST 001. There is no labeling difference between the two. There are many many problems with this firmware. Firstly, after a game crashes, you NEED a pandora to fix. Other games start but crash within a few seconds, only god eater works - but as I said it freezes if you save and you need a pandora back to GEN D2. Setting system language to Japanese also may help. Another thing, the region of the console may affect the installation. Mine is an Australian retail console.
I SAY AGAIN, DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THIS FIRMWARE.
This may be a hoax, but the fact that GodEater starts is still some hope. Its pathetic in every other regard, but this proves that GodEater is possible on CFW. I don't know any technical things. I think the blog was update today and the author claims the log.txt was a joke by the person who actually leaked the test. I don't know for sure, Google translate is very inaccurate. KH:BBS I couldn't test yet, but the source claimed it to be working.
13/02/10 UPDATE:
A new image. Doesn't really prove anything.
>He gave us the "DLkey" for tomorrow. It is "23"
>Something about a video proving GodEater and KH:BBS on youtube?(??)
>Some guy posted a link (Japanese) and I think he say's its working. Japanese does not translate so well with Google.
Anyway, 4 o'clock tomorrow Japan time everything will be revealed. I say that he isn't going post anything, or just post that it was a joke. Do not get excited guys, there is no way he could fix all the bugs in the FW in 2 days.

Details taken offsite:
QUOTECFW 6.20 suddenly appeared.
Everyone in the Internet was expecting the CFW 6.20 Mad-001 normally at Sunday. But suddenly it showed up in the Net now.
Homebrews doesent seem to work on the new CFW 6.20 Mad-001 because of the new Kernel (it seems to be the new Kernel does block it). The good news are you can play Games like Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and God Eater on your PSP. Till now there are no closed judges to this new CFW so hold your Pandora Battery ready if something is not working. Also you can install it with (over) HEN.
A Comment from a user which says following things:
First off, gotta give thanx to Tie for the info on the beta release
Used 2 PSP’s for this one, my testing (or b itch as I call it ) PSP which is a slim 2001 model and a friends Phat model ( we won’t tell him what I did ) Updated to OFW 6.20 and followed the instructions for installation. CFW loads fine BUT like it said it’s just a beta, God Eater demo played fine but wouldn’t let me save, so tried the full God Eater game and when trying to save it bricked the phat and froze the slim… So indeed this IS NOT a fake… HOWEVER, I will say this only once
DO NOT TRY THIS YET, DO NOT TRY THIS YET, DO NOT TRY THIS YET!!!!!!!!
I will report back when the “full” version is released on Valentines Day
On a side note, I don’t know what he did with this CFW but I was ablt to Hellcats back to GEN-D3 with no problem so this too is a good sign .
How to:
1. Copy the 6.20.PBP in the ROOt of your PSP.
2. Copy Eboot.PBP of the CFW in the following directory: PSP/GAME/UPDATE.
3. Start the Updater.
