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.

      1. check your motherboard if it has ta-88v2 or lower (Determine using pspident, you need to activate chickhen first)
      2. if it has ta-88v3, enable chickhen (its easier to enable chickhen if you system is restored to default settings), then run CFWEnabler then choose flash and start. Then make a folder called ISO on the root of your mms. And Your DONE. move your iso/cso to the iso folder

      If You have 88v2 or lower, just use easy cfw installer.

      Did the 4.01 OFW came with the PSP?? or did u install it from 3.XX? (XX=number) If it came with 4.01 from the box then u can use chickHEN and install CFWEnabler but if u upda8ed it from 3.XX then u can install CFW.

      By the way. If it came out with 4.01 then it is unhackable but can load CFWEnabler. Hope this helps.

      Run the CFWEnabler then go to settings.. then… (Looking into PSP) go to configurations.. then go down to UMD mode then press X to change teh Driver.. Make it M33 Driver.. this should help you to play ISO.. i think.. it worked for me.. Enjoy!!

      You are right that the makers of the hack doesnt post this download. BUT when many people want something like a cfw for psp 3000 then usually somebody will make that happen. The makers of the hacks wont make them if there are no one to use/want them

      Already answered. Pls. read a little. For your sake I will repeat it for you. If other ISO games worked for you rather than FFVII your iso file is corrupt. Try deleting it in the MS then recopy again. If still freezes delete your old FFVII and download again a fresh copy. Try other links. This would fix your life risking for FFVII. LOL!

      June 4, 2009 at 6:57 pm

      In your PSP you have a few flash caches and a main BIOS cache. With certain PSP’s, attempts to flash the main BIOS will cause your PSP to brick, or not function. What this CFW enabler does is flash to one of the minor caches which are rewritten every time you boot up your PSP, which is why you have to reload after every power down.

    2. If I turn off my psp, will I lose the mod and I will have to run over CHickHEN R2 and the CFWE 2.51?

    3. Is there an easier way to run the CHickHen R2?

    4. If I have CFWE 2.50 already installed, who do I install CFWE2.51?

      I dont know all the answers to your questions because i have a psp 3000 but i can answer some

      2.It is only when you reset your psp when you will have to reactivate the exploit and the files will still be there
      3.There is no eaiser way to run the ChickHen (if you are having trouble activating the HEN then restore the setting to defalt settings on your psp then try it right after that. That always works for me.

      2.yes you will have to reload
      3.no there is not

      BOTH of their homebrew’s run promarily on HIS MODULES

      All HEN does is basicly the “Test M33″ feature you see on DC, just adding\removing some modules

      And all This does is load the iso modules….
