ChickHEN R2 for Firmware 5.03 Released

Share
ChickHEN release 2 (bugfix) has been released!

: R2 Released - Homebrew now works

True to his word, Davee has released for Firmware 5.03. This release Davee has fixed the homebrew bug and TIFF images have been blocked while in HEN.

ChickHEN R2 for Firmware 5.03 Changelog:

[ChickHEN Revision 2] – Team Typhoon

[Changelog]
- Now supports homebrew
- Homebrew Support enhanced
- Tiff image blocking in HEN (displays unsupported)

[What it does?]
ChickHEN works as a homebrew enabler for all PSP models (1000, 2000 and 3000) and allows execution of homebrew games and apps on 5.03 Official firmware. It can allow you to play games such as Bugz!, Jellycar or run apps such as pspfiler and PSPTube. Homebrew enhances the experience of a normal PSP without any faulty side-effects.

[What it 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 (on TA-088v3 or PSP 3000)
- Load plugins

[How do I use it?]
Depending on your PSP Model, you’re going to need a specific tiff image. If you have a Phat (1000) PSP, use the tiff image supplied in the “PHAT” folder and  copy it to ms0:/PSP/PHOTO. Else copy the tiff image in the “SLIM” folder to ms0:/PSP/PHOTO.
After you’ve copied the image to your PSP, you can copy the h.bin supplied to the root of the memorystick (ms0:/). This should be sufficient for PSP to reboot into ChickHEN.

[Can it break my PSP?]
ChickHEN works differently to all previous HEN’s. Instead of flashing to flash0, it resides entirely in RAM to prevent any damage to the system. Sure enough, you can run applications in HEN to flash stuff but I strongly recommend against it. ChickHEN comes with no warrenty, no guanantee and you run this software under your own responsibility.

As stated, HEN comes with no warrenty, and this software should not be used in conjunction with homebrew which can countervent any copyright laws.

Everyone else who gave help during the development

So just like before depending on weather you have a PSP-1000 (fat) or PSP-2000 / PSP-3000 (slim) place the h.bin file in your MS root and the chickHEN folder with images in PSP/PHOTO on your memory stick pro duo. Now if you don’t have that folder PSP/PHOTO don’t panic just create it and place the folder in there.

For example if you have a PSP-3000 you would put the Slim ChickHEN folder in PSP/PHOTO so it looks like PSP/PHOTO/ChickHEN with the pretty egg gifs inside. (Sorry but we have to be crystal clear for some people it seems!)

Now making sure you have PSP Firmware 5.03 installed, don’t have PSP firmware 5.03? Get it here -> PSP Firmware 5.03

Ok now in the PSP XMB go to Photo’s / Memory stick and then the chickHEN folder and wait! If it works you’ll see a few colours flash and then your PSP is rebooting itself loading up the chickHEN homebrew environment. Now you can go to Game in the XMB and load some homebrew!!. This time it will work!

Now you’ll be looking for some Emulators like GBA emulators, Super Nintendo, plus some cool homebrew games. Visit our huge PSP Emulator section and PSP Downloads for homebrew games, homebrew applications for your homebrew enabled PSP-3000 or TA88v3 PSP-2000.

    Hey, I desperately need help with the whole ChickHen thing, because, honestly, I have no idea what is it that I’m doing wrong. I’ve been trying for over a week, and all the steps I follow are coherent with the instructions I see. My firmware is the 5.03 version, I formatted the memory stick, restored the default settings, pasted the h.bin in the root folder and the ChickHen folder, with the 4 gifs and the slim.tiff, in PSP>PHOTO, opened the Memory Stick folder, then the ChickHen folder and, invariably, every time, the PSP freezes, shuts down, with no green lights or any other kind of change whatsoever. I’ve tried scrolling to the last pic, doing that and going back and forth with the arrows, scrolling slowly, scrolling in millions of different timings, anyway, all the possible methods. I’ve also already tried pasting just the tiff in the folder. I don’t think it’s lack of patience, because everyday, for a week, I’ve been trying all day. I must have tried over 5000 times. The first times, I had an ISO in the memory stick, and the CFWEnabler also. Suspecting that may be the problem, I formatted it, and left just the ChickHen folder in the stick. I’ve also tried to download e use the fix that supposedly improves your chances, and even tried the MHUSpeed instead of the ChickHen. NOTHING has worked.

    If there’s any good soul out there that has adventured to read all that and has an answer to my problem, answer me here or send an e-mail to eduardo.defaria@yahoo.com.br. Thanks in advance

    • matt

      did you end up getting any help?

    • u96n

      For me HEN works more reliable if I reset system settings to defaults and then try watch HEN images

    • Stevenhill321

      make sure you only use the Hen R2 for the PSP Phat. If you are still struggling post me the unit and I will do it for you. It took me ages to figure all this out but I am now a master at it. It took me a whole week like to study it, which didnt go down well with the wife…!

  • Kyle

    this does not work!!!!!!!!

    • Stevenhill321

      yes it does if you do it right.

    Will the 5.50 ChickHEN that will run .iso and .cso formatted games run on OFW 5.03? If not, are you going to make ChickHEN R3 for 5.03 that will run .iso and .cso formatted games?– Will the 5.50m33 custom firmware will work for 5.03? If not are you going to make 5.03m33 custom firmware? (if we are in 5.03 ofw do we need to update to ofw 5.50 to use the chickhen and custom firmware?)
    >>the best question WHEN will it be realesed?<<

  • archie

    can i ask a question? will this work on PSP 3000? thanks a lot Davee!

  • http://www.pspslimhacks.com asd0

    is there any emulator that we can use while waiting the ChickHEN for 5.50? emulator that can run .iso and .cso formatted games and also compatible with ChickHEN R2 for 5.03 (what emulator can you suggest us to use in order to play .iso and .cso games in our psp?)

    Can I install custom firmware on my PSP3002(TA-090v2) using TimeMachine?or I’ll just brick my PSP?

  • neld

  • Karl

    lol psphater good luck with hacking everyones account, lol.

  • ZeNtRiNo

    Sorry to bother, I know you’re all pretty busy, and this is a rather dumb question: But I was just wondering whether or not a future release will allow the ability to view pictures while in chickHEN. Or maybe it’s possible now and I just don’t know? Or maybe this question was asked and answered already… anyway, I’d just like to know! Thanks!

  • http://dan@blogspot.co.uk Just luck

    Dave your the man! worked like a charm, thanks for your help :) .
    Other people who have the prob where your psp keeps on crashing when you open the picture keep on trying. I must of tried way over 30 times.

  • pspfan2009

    AFAIK cfw for psp3k (ta-090v2) is not a possibility as of this moment, as there are some issues
    with the ipl but cfw works in ta-090v1.

  • Guest

    do not try to install custom firmware on psp 3000 or any psp with a motherboard TA-088V3 or higher, or it will brick your psp.

  • Darknyte

    ChickHEN R2 will run unsigned code, a.k.a homebrew, but will not run iso or cso backups. It should run most 3.xx kernel homebrew, but not older 1.50 kernel homebrew. Alot of apps have now been moded to run specifically for 5.03 HEN so use this if they are available like gpsp mod HEN. Any questions post a reply.

  • Anand

    There is none.

  • http://jomsky123.webs.com Teh Emo

    No theres no such thing us that

  • Anonymous

    Do it and see.

  • Karl

    To Darknyte: Will HEN run Kurok(its a 3D shooter), coz when I tried to run Kurok, my PSP crashed…..

  • Darknyte

    YEAH!!!!!!!! Kurok runs under hen. But instead of using Slim Eboot, use normal Eboot.

  • tom

    in chikHen R2 the picture feature works, well it does for me. the .tiff files show up as unsoported, but every other pic should work.
