Dec 2, 2010 New update to Prometheus 4 available [5.50 Prometheus-4 released]: PSP Custom Firmware

What a surprise! Not long ago, Liquidzigong officially left the scene. Indeed, we don't expect any update on Prometheus in a short time. I don't expect this drama. In the same time, I'm very glad because there is someone who could continue Liquidzigong projects, and they are DANS and his friends. DANS has released new Prometheus on Custom Firmware 5.50 ; 5.50 Prometheus-4. He said that this new update will make the latest release games run on your PSP. More importantly, it can run the latest Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter 3 on your PSP.Impressive. Very impressive. No time to waste for further explanation. Get and try it by yourself.
