ChickHEN: Homebrew Enabler for PSP

Mensaje por pspCaracas »


There's some hope for those who own a PSP2000 with TA-088v3 mobo or a PSP3000, a homebrew enabler called ChickHEN.

What is ChickHEN?

As you can read on the project's site "ChickHEN as a Homebrew Enabler that allows the execution of homebrew via the PSP XMB. Running via a vulnerability in the lib TIFF the launcher takes advantage of the system by performing a kernel exploit and rebooting into a homebrew enabled environment. The ChickHEN remains active until the PSP is fully reset in which case official firmware loads from the flash. ChickHEN unlike other HEN's doesn't touch the flash0 and resides completely in memory".

What ChickHEN does NOT do?

  • Run ISO, CSO or any other form of UMD backup.
  • Run PSX Games
  • Touch The Flash of your beloved PSP
  • Magically allow the use of Custom Firmware
  • Load plugins

Requisites

In order to use ChickHEN you must have 5.03 official firmware. If you don't have it or don't know how to install it, you better check out my How to update your PSP with 5.03 OFW post.

Installing ChickHEN

  1. Download ChickHen Release 2 and extract it.
  2. First off use the supplied TIFF image and place it in the ms0:/PSP/PICTURE Directory.
  3. Copy h.bin over to the MS ROOT
  4. Safely remove device.

Using ChickHen

  1. Scroll over to the PHOTO icon on the XMB and click the ChickHEN folder and wait. (This will not work the first time, you may have to just use a method of loading that works for you but this is what we have found most efficient)
  2. If all goes well the screen should blank out and flash green showing that the HEN is loaded and all is well.
  3. Wait for your PSP to reboot and check your PSP's system software. It should now display: "5.03 ChickHEN".
  4. Scroll on over to GAME and enjoy some Homebrews!
