Custom Firmware Enabler 2.51 Released


Xenogears and Becus25 have released an update to their , this small update is to address an issue causing PRX plug-ins to not load up properly. And before you ask, no it didn’t add PSP-3000 compatibility unfortunately.

What is CFW enabler? When used in conjunction with ChickHEN R2, 5.03 firmware TA-88v3 users can load 5.00 M33 custom firmware without fully flashing the NAND memory.

How to enable POPS in 2.5, First download Firmware 5.00. Start PSARDumper and decrypt the 5.00 Eboot. Now Copy the “pops.prx” and “popsman.prx” from the F0 directory to your memory stick under PSP/GAME/CFWEnabler/Pops. And then “Enable Pops Support” from CFWEnabler.

      umm dont do this first then to be safe.

      1.download and run chick-hen r2.(follow this guide and yea it may take lots of tries to get it to work[took me 27]) http://pspslimhacks.com/guide-to-chickhen-on-your-psp-3000-ta88v3/
      2.install this and run it once chick-hen works: http://pspslimhacks.com/pspident-04-find-out-what-psp-motherboard-you-have/ (u place it in game folder i think in main psp directory)
      3.if it says u got ta-088v3 motehr board then u can use this. if it says something lower then dont. (ex :ta-088v2) and research what u should do i dunno i got the ta-088v3(if its lower ure in luck)
      4.then* run the CFW enabler if it is ta-088v3.

      hope this helps just test before trying so u don’t brick it.(chick-hen nor pspiden cant brick it i think)

        you have to use dumper to enable psx game;place the 5.00ofw to yer mem stick root; then run the dumper;after that copy pops.prx and popsman.prx to the folder of CFW enable; then run the program.

    How do I go about using this to play PSX games? I tried loading a PSX eboot with this enabled and it said “Game could not be started” or something to that effect. I am, however, able to run PSP games off of the memory stick fine.

    Problem
    June 8, 2009 at 5:28 am

    I found in this version of CFWEnabler that plugins do in fact work, but when I launch the EBOOT and select plugins from the menu the PSP completely lockes up and shuts down. Therefore the plugin problem is half fixed you just have to activate them manually

    Roma650. You’ll have to enable POPS in order to play PSX games. Then it will work. Read the guide^

    I have successfully installed CFW 5.00 m33 by CFW enabler.
    Everything works great. I can use Emulators….
    BUT when I load ISO game. I got a error msg: “Game could not be loaded: 80020148″

    I google around to do a kernel change 1.50
    should I do that? anyway I cannot go recovery mode by holding “R” + power button.

    Any sugguestions?
