Psp 3000!

Hi Dan-ger-ous,
Could you re up the info you found on this model its lost since the downtime,also if there are any new developments,much appreciated

Woops, alright sinno, i'll dig for the information later on and get this thread up-to-date.

hey sinno, there is a crack, but not a permanent one, you do what is known as a ChickenHen update, then install the custom firmware, but and here is a but

it's a little tricky to do the chickenhen update, but for one of your experience, i don't imagine it would be too difficult.

I shall do a bit more scouting around and see if there is anything more permanent out there as this article was dated august last year, but there were replies to it dated till september, I'll be back

Thanks Wheelo
I knew about ChickenHen allright,but i am looking for a permanent exploit,Dan posted some realy useful info before the downtime and i was going to go scouting myself,using his reference points,i havent ruled out getting a older version yet and heading over to your guide

I've found a guide for ChickenHen, but i'm scrambling my brains thinking what did i post that time. There isnt any permanent hack yet for it. As far as i can remember, the RAM of the PSP is used which puts the PSP in a custom firmware state so you can run your games and other homebrew. Once the PSP has been turned off and then on again, the flash will have to be performed again.

PSPGEN have released Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A for HEN!! What does this mean? Well its something many of us have been waiting for since the PSP-3000 was released. Full blown Custom Firmware is now possible on your PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA088v3. Thanks to GENyUS and PSPGen.com.

How to Install,

Known Bugs:

he RECOVERY MODE of the 5.02GEN-A was patché to turn on the PSP-3000. It makes it possible to modify the majority of the usual options. Note that we some problems with this recovery in VSH and will undoubtedly have to be awaited a patch encounters correction so that it is functional at 100%. Note that SMALL GEN VSH functions, him, very well.

Here menus and their equivalents:

* Togle USB = OK
* configuration ok
o Sony skip: do not go (useless thus not engraves)
o Hide corrupt let us icons = walk not and activeSkip Sony logo
o range folder HB ok
o autorun EBOOT ok
o fake area ok
o use vsh finely ok
o XMB USB Device ok
o Charge device with usb ok
o Use M33 network update ok
o use version TXT ok
o hide MAC ok

* use range ok categories
* Reboot in official firmware > nonfunctional
* Run program At = Finely advanced
* advanced = CPU SPEED
* CPU SPEED = Plugins
* plugins = registry hack
* registry hack = suspends device
* device = reboot in official firmware suspends
* Reset system = quit

Put besides that all functions and we will try to correct this as fast as possible.

Another quote from elsewhere that pretty much sums it up:

This HEN works on every PSP on 5.03 regardless of what motherboard you have. This HEN is loaded through a fault in the kernel and TIFF loader, so all you need to do is open a photo and the HEN will stick into the RAM. As soon as you turn the PSP fully off you will need to run the HEN again. You cannot install a custom firmware on the latest 2000 motherboard or on any of the 3000s for now but there are many homebrew programs all being developed to run on this exploit.

A HEN is a homebrew enabler.

well done dan, beats me hands down,

It seems there has been some major advances in opening up this particular hard nut

Well its out, what you have all been finally waiting for! You’ll need the American Patapon 2 Demo below and the save game exploit below. A PSP with official firmware 5.50 to 6.20 OFW will run this. I can confirm it works on my PSP-2000 and PSP Go. I will post a video up soon of this. Yes it works on PSP-3000 too, all PSP models!

Download it, run this and enjoy this new breakthrough thanks to Malloxis, n00b81 and woo. Hold tight for an Eloader release shortly for this Save Game Exploit and you’ll been playing homebrew in no time on that PSP Go or any PSP with 6.20 FW. Good days ahead and just in time for Easter.

Update: Woo has just posted that Malloxis infact leaked this exploit, He found it, but Woo wrote this exploit and Malloxis has just decided to release this trying to get the all credit. An eLoader isn’t ready yet for this exploit. Source: Lan.st Thanks Ninja88 for the info.

Im not familiar with this particular method so any advice from the residents appreciated

I'll have a look around sinno and get back, if it is true, it is a big breakthrough from the chickenhen way of doing things

this looks like it is apreliminary step, but not a iso loader, that seems to be the next step so you can load games/iso. the terminology being used is E loader and when that is released you can finally join in the world of custom firmware.
sorry about that but it is definitely a step in the right direction

I was looking over that post and was abit confused about what the entire save game data was about in terms of loading iso's and playing them on the PSP 3000 series. But it seems to be coming together now, hopefully that loader is made and published soon, i'm sure there will be a full hack for it eventually.

Thanks to sinno and wheelo for the input.
