and M33-6… coudn’t get better… jus hope its bug free…
June 12, 2009 at 11:55 am
can some1 explain the quick start mode
June 12, 2009 at 12:17 pm
when you have quick start mode enabled, when starting cfw enabler 3.20 it will load into memory and automatically go back to the xmb instead of going into the program hitting start or whatever. you can always go back into cfwe and change settings.
June 12, 2009 at 1:23 pm
you can always hold the R botton in the quickstart, and itl turn on the program itself.
June 12, 2009 at 12:00 pm
hmm.. can we use cwcheat on psp 3000 with m33-6??
June 12, 2009 at 12:11 pm
i own a psp 3000
if it is 5.00 m33-6…………
will this be a permanent cfw?
or is it just another firmware where the cfw will go away if u fully shut down??
-thanks…………
June 12, 2009 at 12:20 pm
No u stll need to use HEN for this
June 12, 2009 at 11:00 pm
sei doch froh das du überhaupt iso, pops und plugin support kriegst! die pre-ipl wurde noch nicht geknackt also wird dieser CFW Enabler vermutlich das beste sein was wir kriegen können.
June 12, 2009 at 12:16 pm
so am i right in thinking that if you mess with the flash on the 3000 ur brick your psp
4!!!!!!!!!!
June 12, 2009 at 1:25 pm
no not really unless your power goes out in the pops flashing or somewhere else ur writing to flash, nothing is suposed to happen. The program doesnt overwrite the flash, it just puts the files in the flash (next to the already existing ones)
June 12, 2009 at 1:57 pm
dont spoze you have a link to a good guide for doing this. i have made a e.boot for one of my ps1 games and it loads up to the playstation sign then that dissapers and i have a black screen. dosnt freeze or crash just goes black and then i exit out of the game. any help would great
June 12, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Guys am sorry for being ugly but i dont understand what should i use it for and how can it be useful ?!! can anyone explain to me please ???
June 12, 2009 at 12:25 pm
wow alot of nice features, and yes works flawlessly on my 3K! I download it through the m33 update..
June 12, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Native 5.03 Pops is now supported. -what does this mean? also can we get an uninstall pops feature..i tried instaling it way back and it was a bad flash i think. Someone said it was in F0 folder but even with hidden files enabled i did not find. yea so i rely want to play my good old psx eboots
June 12, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Decrypt OFW 5.03 with new-psardumper by pressing [] button. At MS:root find F0\kd and copy pops.prx & popsman.prx to your desktop. Then go to CFWEnabler/config/ and toggle usb to be Flash0. Get out of CFWE and go to usb mode at the xmb. Set your computer to show protected hidden files. then go to my computer & find your device volume drive. Go into F0/KD and copy past the two .prx files on your desktop to that F0/KD folder in your device. Don’t touch anything else. Your games must be Eboots & placed in the game folder. Make sure that the game itself has a folder. Make sure to revert settings done on your computer & your device.
June 12, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Plugins cannot be detected with this..
June 12, 2009 at 12:47 pm
can somone plz explain how to put CWCheat on this version on a psp 3k??

June 12, 2009 at 12:50 pm

June 12, 2009 at 12:56 pm
stop crying for gods sake it wasnt that long ago that everyone wanted iso,cso to work now it does you cant stop going on about how hard done by you are coz you have to reload every time you turn of your psp ( little tip for you , dont turn off your psp!!!! ) if you want it so much you make it !
……………..
Yeah thought Not!!!
June 12, 2009 at 1:00 pm
dont hold the off/on button whenever you turn it off/on.. just simply slide it if you dont want enabeling the Hen and cfw always..hihihihi.. :3
June 12, 2009 at 1:25 pm
yeah he is right, it will be better if you just totally turn off your mouth and stop complaining, coz complaining will not do you good, start acting…..
June 12, 2009 at 1:15 pm
HELP, it cant play psx games even if i did the psardumper. It has some conflict or something, i used GEN-A before,

help i cant get the freakin plugins to work. im trying to use hold and when i go to plugins it says ERROR! NOT PLUGINS DETECTED (its actually not no mistake). I made a seplugins foler in the root of my memory stick (its in the same directorie as PSP right?) and i added pops.txt, vhs.txt, and game.txt. and i put the hold path into the vhs.txt. still doesnt work
June 12, 2009 at 1:40 pm
can this work for a psp3000 with an OFW of 5.03 or it’s just for a psp with a OFW 5.00?
June 12, 2009 at 1:54 pm
duh! u need HEN to run so its for 5.03 obviously
June 12, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Oo namen…
pwedeng pwede sa psp3000 5.03, kailangan mo lang ng Hen.. :3
June 12, 2009 at 2:02 pm
When i run the eboot, is it dangerous if i flash it to my system when i already have GEN-A installed? Or do i just load and boot into cfw?
June 12, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Just use the uninstall function first then flash and install..
June 12, 2009 at 5:51 pm
CFWE gives you an option to uninstall any previous CFW. Do that first to stay in the safe side, man!
June 12, 2009 at 2:10 pm
when is the CXMB plug-in be released for CFWE on Psp 300X
June 12, 2009 at 2:12 pm
The Ultimate VSH menu Plug-in does not work with CFWE 3.10
June 12, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Can any one tell a STEP by STEP instruction on how to get this working?
I have PSP-3004 and i knew already how to run the ChickHen.
Help me please.. THX
June 12, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Dud, put the CFWE folder in your psp/game. Run chickhenR2. go to games & run CFWE then flash the files. After if you want to play psx games, I recoment the following best way to do it:
Download & Decrypt OFW 5.03 with new-psardumper by pressing [] button. At MS:root find F0\kd and copy pops.prx & popsman.prx to your desktop. Then go to CFWEnabler/config/ and toggle usb to be Flash0. Get out of CFWE and go to usb mode at the xmb. Set your computer to show protected hidden files. then go to my computer & find your device volume drive. Go into F0/KD and copy past the two .prx files on your desktop to that F0/KD folder in your device. Don’t touch anything else. Your games must be Eboots & placed in the game folder. Make sure that the game itself has a folder. Make sure to revert settings done on your computer & your device.
June 12, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Step by Step instructions for what?
June 12, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Xenogears and becus25 are THIEVES!!!
they stole that program from GENyUS!!
you should be ashamed of yourselves!!
mga MAGNANAKAW KAYO!! HAYOP!!
GENyUS ROCKS!!! \m/
PSPGEN RULES!!!
June 12, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Who cares about GEN they didn’t do a good job for all systems.. I couldn’t even run it on my psp 2000.. They are better than 5.03 GEN
June 12, 2009 at 5:58 pm
CFE was made because of GEN..
June 12, 2009 at 3:14 pm
@philip, @JSTHIR2ASK
yeah step by steb instructions of how to install it (connect, copy, etc…), after I have HEN already up and running, would be very useful since I wouldn’t like to mess up anything
June 12, 2009 at 4:07 pm
xenogears and becus25 are not thieves mang dul
they are acutally the first one to release
cfw enabler . . . a lot more earlier than the gen-a
but i thank both of them
both of them are good
June 12, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Apparently, they actually “used” something from GEN-A 5.02 (not GEN-A 5.03) for the earlier version of CFWenabler without permission and then if you read the change log above, it says “Now we use our own systemctrl, not GENyUS ones.” because they “used” the systemctrl of GEN-A 5.03 to make CFE 3.01 again without permission.. It’s a good thing they now used their own systemctrl so hopefully there won’t be any dispute between the devs anymore..
June 12, 2009 at 4:16 pm
It will open and load the flash, but when I try to run the program it just closes out. When I run again it acts as if I never loaded the flash in the first place…
any ideas?
June 12, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Fisrt some of you guys just write shit instead of good questions.
Second my question : Ive try every CFWE since the one but since ive try GEN-A no one work ive try the uninstall in the 3.2 CFWE but again no more.Pl z I want my ISO/CSO back …. Help me plz or maybe just I have to for a kind of “flash recovery”
You can e-mail me at bogshit@hotmail.com
June 12, 2009 at 5:50 pm
If Gen-A doesn’t have an update soon I’ll be switching to this. They’ve had 2 updates since the 3k version was released.
June 12, 2009 at 5:54 pm
dont try it read my comment just before urs
June 12, 2009 at 6:00 pm
I tried this but I can’t load plugins.. Reverting back to GEN-A I guess..
June 12, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Can I use Ultimate VSH, and if so, How do i install it?
June 12, 2009 at 6:50 pm
hey joedakeys.. you said that i will put 5.03 firmware on ms roots?? i think your liar!!!
June 12, 2009 at 6:51 pm
You must be the biggest NOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 12, 2009 at 6:52 pm
are you stupid also..?? the instruction said put 5.00 firmware not 5.03.. shut up im not talking to you
June 12, 2009 at 6:57 pm
You have to if you want to decrypt it. So that you can get pops.prx and popsman.prx from its F0 folder. CFWE 3.2 now supports it. After I installed CFWE feom v3.2 my pops did not want to work no more one way or the other. This was the best solution. so it is the one I recommend for CFWE 3.20 especialy for thoes who’s stopped working after the new update. That’s all. We don’t have to get grimmy for stuff we all are going to use to enable a pirated system on our devices.
June 12, 2009 at 7:01 pm
so u use 5.03 firmware?? did it brick??
June 12, 2009 at 7:12 pm
You made a typo I think, the 5.00 is the one to be decrypted not the 5.03..
June 12, 2009 at 7:03 pm
To Vocalist the CFWE expert, trust me, what he did does work. when CFWE 3.2 came out they made it clear in other words. just because the instructions said 5.00 don’t mean it can be done. Remenber Syu. He mess things up on his 2000 because he listen the the Gen-A experts. if you haven’t tried, don’t talk.
JOEDAKEYS DID IT, HE’S NOT FAINT OF HEART, LIKE OTHERS. DON’T HATE THE GAME HATE THE PLAYER…HAHAHA
June 12, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Hey listen, lets not make this a fight. OK people… We all are learning here & helping eachother out.
To Vocalist, I used the Official 5.03 Eboot instead of the 5.00 because after I updated CFWE to 3.2 my psx games would not load one way or the other. My psp is working fine, no brick, psx again run fine.
June 12, 2009 at 7:09 pm
ok ok.. sorry i hate people who are misleading others
June 12, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Trust me. I would not tell anyone to do something i did not try on my own device. I would also hate somebody misleaded. I’ve done many hacks. PSP 1000, 2000, 3000…Wii, even palyng copies on disk channel. Blackberrys, Computers, Xbox ipods, iphones and many more. But to everyone, No is not a Typo. I decrypted OFW 5.03 and got its PRX FILES IN MY DEVICE BECAUSE AFTER I UPDATED TO CFWE 3.2 THEY DID NOT WANT TO WORK ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THIS WAS MY ONLY SOLUTION. BUT THIS WAS GODS GIFT TO ME AND NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE< SO PLEASE LISTEN TO ME AND DO NOT DO IT.
June 12, 2009 at 7:13 pm
I meant to say 5.03 pbp on ms0: to decrypt it using new-psrdump and got the prx files needed for psx pops support. That simple. But I did not flash them, as there still remains a flashing problem using the CFWE program. Instead i copied them dirrectly into my device F0/KD folder. Extreme Danger, please use with care!
June 12, 2009 at 7:22 pm
So CFE 3.20 does not support pops 5.00 anymore. Since the changelog says “Native 5.03 pops support”, so it’s logical to decrypt 5.03 eboot if ever psx games are not working..
June 12, 2009 at 7:27 pm
You got it, that’s what I had to do. I myself was surprice. But it worked. Yes it’s logical. I only did it because it said: Featuring native 5.03 pops support and plug-ins will now even work outside of the plug-in folder.
June 12, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Anyway, have you got the plugins working with this? I know how to install plugins but it seems that CFE 3.20 is not detecting it?
June 12, 2009 at 7:31 pm
I got as far as to just that, I’ve been working around my device to detect .prx especially for Ultimat VSH, trying to help cassy. She lives close to me, and I want a date with her. That was her promise, She’s the hootest girl in town.
June 12, 2009 at 7:41 pm
@Joedakeys
Oh my.. Good luck with the date.. Anyway I just found out that how lazy psplimhacks is.. I read the original readme file and says that you don’t need to flash the 5.00 pops anymore contrast to what the article said because 5.03 pops is already installed once you flash CFE 5.03. I guess they just copy-pasted it from their other article and didn’t even bother editing it.. Still no luck with plugins though..
June 12, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Hey everyone, lets make a race…whoever gets these plugings they talking about to start. is the legal holder of Cassy. She Told me to put this..LOL!
June 12, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Joedakeys, stop playing. this is serious stuff we’re. You’re of topic now. let’s keep talking about PSPs.
huh, you’re about to loose your date.
June 12, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Come on, a little sence of humor wont hurt, even getting of topic a littl so that people could refresh their brains a little, and resume whatever they were doing so that they can get solutions. Also, if you take the date away, imma have to hack into you…LOL
June 12, 2009 at 7:46 pm
I guess GEN-A is still better that this in terms of plugins support but the memory speed hack is worth noting though..
June 12, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Back on topic: It just dawn to me. That we are all using OFW 5.03 to actually run ChickhenR2 and CFWE, we all know that, and that just might be the reason my device did not brick. because I decrypted files most compatible to that pertaining to my OFW of my device. anyone please elaborate. could this be true?
June 12, 2009 at 7:54 pm
It won’t brick.. Read this taken from the original readme: “Flashing is no longer necessary modules to run the 5.00 pops. I leave here for a manual reinstall of the original 5.03 (The option to install flash pops remain active, if you want to install another version)”. Since 5.03 pops is now supported, we can now use the one from OFW 5.03 but we don’t need to flash any pops anymore since it’s already installed.. Maybe you flashed the 5.00 after installing CFE 3.20 that causes your psx games not to run..
June 12, 2009 at 7:52 pm
in the changelog it said that i will have 5.00m33-6 but the truth is i got 5.03m33-6.. haix cant understand this
June 12, 2009 at 7:55 pm
you could swtch it on chang version option in CFWE settings
June 12, 2009 at 7:57 pm
This is the one from the readme:
3.20 Changes:
- Now operating out of the plugins folder seplugins.
- Systemctrl own, and do not use any form of GENyUS.
- Now is the version 5.03 M33 – 6.
- Support for the Pops 5.03 (updated Popcorn).
- MS Patch speed.
- Fixed a bug in the use of the option version.txt.
- How to Quick Start (starts automatically if you do not press R).
Yeah I know, pspslimhacks got lazy with their article. They even included an instruction to flash 5.00 pops which will prevent you from playing psx games.
June 12, 2009 at 7:54 pm
To Jhazky: You’re right. but M33 is the de-facto modules used. Gen-A has too many bugs, and it has damaged many PSPs (I heard). We don’t need to rush. We’ve come a long way, and we have waited so long. I personally am surprice that the team has got this much for us. now i know for sure that it’s all possible. That they will soon be able to load CFW at device initial start up. maybe they wont ever be able to get a compatible ipl. but there are other scripts possible and more leak holes to be discovered. This opens a door for more dicoveries. I will sit back and enjoy the rumble.
June 12, 2009 at 8:06 pm
The only bug I see from it is the one messed up recovery menu. I don’t believe that it damaged PSPs but there’s a bug that prevent it from launching from PSP 2k but they released a fix (I haven’t tested) on the same thread they posted the first version so nobody noticed the fixed version. I’m not expecting a permanent CFW anytime sooner because I believe it’s right next to impossible but still I’m hoping.. Well I guess I’ll sit back and enjoy too..
June 12, 2009 at 8:46 pm
U’re right. people love dark-Alex so they prefer M33 modules.
June 12, 2009 at 7:54 pm
and what does “MS speed patch” do??
June 12, 2009 at 7:57 pm
If ur a 088v3 or a 3k owner its nothing for you to worry about. It’s a Memory Stick issue that had plagued some users (usually Phat users and very few earlier 2k models as per my knowledge) since the release of 3.71 CFW.
June 12, 2009 at 7:59 pm
ok ty.. so its useless since i have a 3k
June 12, 2009 at 9:26 pm
don’t listen to him, he’s doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about… MS speed up will make your memstick load faster.
June 12, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Know what? I would much rather prefer to wait for a full fledged release of CFE 4.0 or whatever than all these little bug fixes every 2 to 3 days. Seriously these guys need to take a bit more time to work on it.
June 12, 2009 at 7:57 pm
absolutely.. they are updating this everyday!! maybe nextweek it will be have a stable update
June 12, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I here you. In my opinion I’m just somewhat glad that we atleast have something. But i’m with you on that full fledged deal. It would make the world a much easyer and exciting place. & yes it is annoying to have to check the site everday to see what’s new and find out that CFWE went to, let’s say CFWE 4.5.3-qlx BETA, it’s stupid. But hey.
June 12, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Yes I agree.. The bug fixes doesn’t feel any different anyway..
June 12, 2009 at 8:01 pm
theres no need for any of these updates really – the 5.03 GEN-A provides everything – all these updates are insignificant
June 12, 2009 at 8:04 pm
the problem is it has many bugs.. but they will gen a v2 soon.. so for the meantime i will use this cfwe
June 12, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I’m using GEN-A on my other PSP and I don’t see any major bugs on it.. The only bug I see is the messed up menu and it has inability to render TIFF as incompatible image which might make you accidentally activate chickhen and hang your psp..
June 12, 2009 at 8:14 pm
GEN-A’s plugins support is still superior imo..
June 12, 2009 at 8:02 pm
How long does it normally take to flash? my psp 3000 has been on this screen with 2 parallel lines and a back button for quite a few minutes now.
June 12, 2009 at 8:05 pm
gee, that’s new. Cause it just take a split secound.
June 12, 2009 at 8:09 pm
back button? It normally take just a blink of an eye to flash.. Try pressing O? I don’t think it’s bricked since it doesn’t overwrite anything from OFW files..
June 12, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Q. Did you have anything else install in it previouse to attempting to install CFWE.
June 12, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Don’t mind the press O thing, I was thinking about GEN-A LOL! How about using UNINSTALL first before Flashing?
June 12, 2009 at 8:21 pm
i thought this also support plug ins???
June 13, 2009 at 2:43 pm
It does, and they work fine. you have to set them up @seplugins like usual. Sometimes it’s a little tricky.
June 12, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Is it still region-free?
June 12, 2009 at 8:49 pm
This works on PSP 3000, correct? Also, can you turn your PSP completely off and turn it back on with it booting straight into CFW Enabler? Or, do I need to launch ChickHEN every time I do a full reboot?
June 13, 2009 at 12:25 am
You do need to run HEN everytime.
June 12, 2009 at 9:52 pm
seems complicated
June 13, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Nah, it’s simple. Follow Kefler’s tutorial in the user/help section.
June 12, 2009 at 9:52 pm
what ever happened to chicken hen R3? did they cancel it?
June 12, 2009 at 10:02 pm
@vocalists Yes this supports plugins.
@hey Yes this does have a region free option.
@KG6ZVP No this isn’t a CFW release, it’s a CFW Enabler meaning you will have to boot up HEN and the CFW each time you do a hard reboot or shut off your PSP.
@ODIN Not really. it does have NATIVE support for 5.03 POPs, the dumping of the pops prx from the 5.00 ofw is optional.
@chicken No announcement has been made saying Davee has canceled R3, so until then, the answer to that is “Still in the works” and “No”
June 12, 2009 at 10:14 pm
those were good answers to questions i was wondering about too. thank you
June 13, 2009 at 6:44 am
Plugins doesn’t work with this release.. You may not want to dump 5.00 pops with this because it will screw the psx games. Actually there’s no need to flash pops as it is already installed.
June 12, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Someone with some tuto experience should write a mega guide for CFWE, which includes plugins, iso, pops etc….
i’ve seen one for GEN-A and its impressive….
June 12, 2009 at 10:47 pm
You’ll get what you ask for, check the user help section of the forum in a few hours and I’ll have one posted.
June 12, 2009 at 10:57 pm
bricked it, even after following the directions. No big deal though
