Davee: ChickHEN R2 Released - Homebrew now works
True to his word, Davee has released ChickHEN R2 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.

I tried using the restoring settings thing and it didn’t work straight away, but if you keep on going, it will, honestly. I didn’t think it would work. I have the 2003 model.

June 10, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Hi,
I am using PSP 3000. I need to remove everything – UMD, picture files, music files and video before I can start the ChikHen. Is it a must to remove all? Seem that I got to play new games, but I miss other functions. Can it be fix. Thanks.
June 11, 2009 at 1:00 am
You don’t have to remove everything but it is strongly recommended that you remove any pictures and the umd in order to conserve ram, because the more free ram, the more likely the exploit HEN will load. I don’t understand the second part of you question. Email me at goosy_7@hotmail.com for more help.
June 11, 2009 at 7:19 am
HYE I ALREADY PUT THE FOLDER IN MY MEMORY STICK BUT WHEN I OPEN THE PHOTO FOLDER ON MY PSP,IT BEING LOAD AND IT JUST SHUT DOWN CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THAT

June 13, 2009 at 2:43 am
In order for this to work you have to update to 5.03 then load the HEN.
June 11, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Hi all, i am totally new to this, tried lots of different theorys, mines a psp 1003. what i did was restored to factory settings, removed umd, copied the phat folder to photos on psp, copied the h.bin file to the root folder and it worked straight away!!! nice!!! hope this helps…..
June 12, 2009 at 8:09 am
I found a comment in the forums here and unfortunately I can’t get back to it so i can thank the person who helped me out. I think his name was Shark. Anyway, like him, I have a Japanese version psp 3000. The comments he left were dead on, and I was able to get it installed on the first try. Thanks to him, and to everyone who believes in the spirit of free forums like this. Thanks to all the people who took time out of their busy day to work on these programs, and thanks to this site for compiling all of this info. I really appreciate what you do.
June 17, 2009 at 5:17 am
Where can I find the comments he left for a Japanese version of PSP? or do you remember how will I be able to install ChickHEN R2 on it? Thanks
June 12, 2009 at 8:55 am
mine works if i put the chickHen folder in PICTURE not PSP\PHOTO folder.
June 13, 2009 at 11:12 pm
when i run the software my screen turns red anyone knows what that means cuz i dont
June 14, 2009 at 3:10 am
mine say unsupported data i have 2001 ofw 5.50
June 14, 2009 at 10:47 am
You need OFW 5.03 to run chickHEN R2. Try using 5.50 GEN-A CFW for PSP 100x & 200x
June 15, 2009 at 7:53 am
can it support iso games????
June 16, 2009 at 10:18 am
I hope theres a chickHEN smoother R2. The official ChickHEN R2 seems to be hard to load to psp slim 2004 w/ original 32mb sony memory stick. I try it for almost 40 times and it seems to be my psp is tired rebooting so i go back to hickHEN Mod – Load ChickHEN smoother and just 1 click, it load to the psp memory.
June 16, 2009 at 10:24 am
You can use the chickHEN mod tiff image & its folder, but use the h.bin from chickHEN R2. Thatway it will run chickHEN R2 in the first 2 attemmps….
P.S. I apologise 4 my english
June 16, 2009 at 4:17 pm
I just have a regular “picture” folder i don’t have “PHOTO” in my PSP folder
June 16, 2009 at 4:40 pm
never mind….I found out….
June 17, 2009 at 1:42 am
can you downgrade the psp 300 with 5.03 m33 to anything lower or back to original firmware
June 17, 2009 at 2:19 pm
hey i have a 5.02 psp 3000 and i cant upgrade it to 5.03 how can i? ive have tried downloading from the link here and putting the eboot file into PSP/GAME/UPGRADE folder but it still says in the version 5.02
June 17, 2009 at 6:48 pm
The folder is PSP\GAME\UPDATE…. NOT UPGRADE!!!!!. it’s a common mistake
June 18, 2009 at 10:40 am
thanks i did it now its 5.03 and i placed the h.bin into the root and also the 4 pics and tiff file into PSP/PHOTO but i cant use the hack it just turns off how do you do it sorry for taking your time…
June 18, 2009 at 1:44 pm
i had the same problem. A video on youtube helped me, but to run it in first two attemps donwload the chickHEN mod and use its chickHEN folder. Take the h.bin from chickHEN R2 and place it in the root of the mem stick ( X:\ ) X is the drive letter. the ChickHEN folder is in X:\PICTURE\. Remove any umd discs from your psp. Then on your psp go to settings, system settings, restore default settings, the psp will reboot, go quickly through the settings, then go to system settings again, disable umd auto-start, disable umd cache. Then go to photo, mem stick, wait until the thumbnail has loaded, then open the chickHEN folder & wait. this tehnique works in the first try for me.
June 24, 2009 at 10:23 am
OMG!!!!!!It worked the first time!!!!!
After many many tries with stupid methods i tried yours for once and it worked!!!!1000000 thanks!!!!!!!
Guide in detail…
Follow the instructions on where to put the folders and stuff and then restore default settings in your system settings, then after the reboot quickly go through the settings!!!i mean quickly!!!!
After that although the guide tells you to do something else i just went to photo folder oppened chickhen folder and as soon as the Δ appeared i scrolled down quickly and boom!!!!!!!!!!!!It was a success!!hope this works!

June 18, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Hey I read through every forum, got everything in the right place, and tried about 20 times to no avail. I have a PSP 3001 v. 5.03 using the slim folder, h.bin in the root, and factory default with cache and umd off so that should work right?
Any tips on getting it to load?

well… i just did this things…follow this, it might work to you,too
1) You need at least 14 random pictures and 5 pictures of the ChickHEN( On the folder of ChickHEN )
2) Open photos
3) Open the file of ChickHEN and go down by 4 pictures and it shall work( only open when you see the “/\ options”)
Note: you need a custom firmware 5.03
It worked on me(always)
