Custom Firmware Enabler 3.30+ Tutorial

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Select install and your PSP will reboot.

CFWEnabler 3.30 menu screen.

This is a quick tutorial / guide to running Custom Firmware Enabler 3.30+ on your PSP-3000. We have two choices for CFW on our PSP-2000 TA-088v3+ models and PSP-3000′s. Either 5.03 GEN-A or this custom firmware. We’re now swaying towards Xenogears and becus25′s CFWEnabler as the updates are rolling out quicker, it has less bugs and a pretty menu system for enabling the various options.

You need official Firmware 5.03 installed to begin (ChickHEN needs this fw version)

Install ChickHEN R2 and get that running, use our tutorial and guide located here: Guide to running ChickHEN R2 on your PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA88v3+

Now download Custom Firmware Enabler 3.30 and install this to your PSP Memory card. put the file CWEnabler folder in PSP/GAME

With ChickHEN R2 loaded in your PSP XMB go to GAME, Memory Stick and then load CFWEnabler

You’ll boot up into a CFWEnabler screen, Select install and your PSP will reboot.

After which your PSP will reboot into 5.00 M33-6 CFW! Easy as pie!!

In order to enter the setting and configuration menu (Recovery menu) Simply run CFWEnabler from your XMB again and this time hold the R shoulder button. You’ll boot up into the menu screen (top)

Here you have the following pretty menu’s:

Custom Firmware Enabler: Your main Config menu

Custom Firmware Enabler: Plug-ins

Custom Firmware Enabler: CPU settings

Custom Firmware Enabler: Registry Hacks

MAC address spoof turned on. XMB effect only

The above screen demonstrates the MAC adress Spoof, so its not visible in the XMB. Good for screenshots like this. We haven’t gone into the Pops flashing as CFWEnabler 3.2+ supports native PSX/PS1 emulation and its pretty good.

Off thread Question here…. how can i make a “cso” game so that i will not carry anymore my umds with me?

Joedakeys

You need UMD dumper.

JSTHIR2ASK

got any instructions thier Joedakeys? and is it compatible with Hen R2?

tom

!!!!!!!!!Note!!!!!!!!! before getting mad at me on this not working, u have to have the above program installed, just follow their instructions, pretty self explanotary…

just go into the vhs menu (select from the home screen). then switch usb mode to umd (do not mess wit the flash). plugin your psp to your comp and go to usb mode. The screen that pops up on ur comp and should have a single iso file on it (The UMD). copy that to your comp. keep the iso intact do not extract it by winrar. google iso to cso program and dowload it (this step is only if you find the iso file to big, converting shrunk mine by 50 %), run the iso through the program (cant help u here just go along wit it). Now go to your psp and change the usb mode back to memory stick. connect to your comp and make a file in the root of it called “ISO”. Inside that make another folder called “VIDEO” (do not include quotes in either). Copy you .cso or .iso file to ISO if its a game, and to VIDEO if its a video. Now it should show up in your games when you have custom firmware enabled. (Note: doesnt show up in Official firmware version). And its not compatible with chickHen R2 (you have to use chichen to activate the above program, then it will work.) So one more thing before playing: go back to the vhs menu and change the umd driver or mode (forget) to m33. now just start the game and enjoy!
Hope this helps…

Joedakeys

This is good, and great instructions…also, just discover today that you could do this while on CFWE 3.30.

Haesslich

There is a great tutorial section in the forums. Look there it’s much much easier than using usb dumper. (assuming you have vsh menu).
Joedakeys

Follow Tom’s instuctions below, with the exception of my reply to him, and you’ll be good.
Then find the converter. Type iso to cso once you have your iso, or leave it as iso, it will also run.

tom

its actually above

Jony

Prette clear and simple…
If you want to install any other pops versions (for any reason you have) just do the steps explained in the older CFWE versions. The native support works pretty well though.

Can run CFW enabler 3.30 on my PSP 3000 after I flashed with 5.03 GEN-A. I am running on 5.03 GEN-A right now? If I got back to just HEN R2 and I run CFW enabler, would it screw up since I have flahsed with GEN-A already? What is better about CFW enabler when compared to 5.03 GEN-A? Sorry, I am new to all these… but sure happy I did not upgrade my PSP 3000 to 5.5!

Joedakeys

When prompted to eather flash or uninstall. uninstall, man. You do not want to contaminate you files and semi brick your psp. Worse yet, entirely brick it. People need to remember, bricking old mobos is kindda ok, I did for fun. But for these new mobos there is no superficial way to recover them. So your best bet is not to risk it. Do it the right way.
So go ahead and install it after you uninstall Gen-A with the CFWE 3.30. Do not install on top of Gen-A.

zoRn

thanks for the tutorial ill use it later
vocalistz

do i need to decrypt 5.03 if im using the popsloader plugin?

Joedakeys

It is a good idea to do the ones from 5.00 by dumping its F0 with psrdunp. The 5.03 dump is just a fix for when people mess thing up with the prx. Dump 5.00 and then put the pops.prx & popman.prx in the pops folder located in the CFWE folder. after that, if you want an entire compatibility. install popsloader. The link is in Keflers guide at the Forum/user Help/Find kefler. This is good because some psx games may have certaing fetures that may require to be run with a specific prx. this program allows you to pick the compatible firmware prx. Once you pic a firmware it remains configured. Now, so that you know wich game is compatible with what prx. type “psx compatibility list” at google and pick the most infomative list.

joedakeys if it safE TO USE POPLOADER TO SEPLUGIN INSTEAD OF PSRDUMPER PLEASE ANSWER!

Kurtiss

What is the option XMB USB device?

Joedakeys

That’s to mount your devices@ usb mode . If you put to menstick that is what you will see @My computer. To UMD disk, that’s what you will see@my computer (can copy umd iso thisway to your desk top). But for F0,F1,F2,F3 That’s what you will see but don’t touch.

Joedakeys

@JSTHIR2ASK, Still trying diferent Dumpers to see if any work. but If you have an old psp with CFW, dump and play with 3k.

tom

just use the built in usb mode option, set that to umd. follow the instructions that i gave him above and u should not have any problem.

Joedakeys

And I could use chickhen minus R2 on 3000?

cookie

can someone please explain how do you uninstall Gen-A? a step by step instruction would be most helpful to me. thank you.

tom

ye i need this too

Joedakeys

Thanks alot tom. I did that but I did it with CFW on my 1000. For some reason UMD dumps dont want to work from the UMDDunper program even on my old psp, and that same program use to work. But I like that trick.

Joedakeys

When running CFWE, press the one and only Uninstall option. But first shut off you device entirly. Run chickhenR2 only, then run CFWE.

cookie

thank you.
tom

ty and np. i suspected that was the case but i didnt want to risk bricking my psp.

Joedakeys

@Tom, your UMD instructions worked, and better yet they work with CFWE…Thank man!
Man In The Mirror

Smells like KFC in here with all this talk of ChickHEN … LOL!! If you are using a psp 2000 with motherboard TA88v3 then I would recommend CFW Enabler because it seems to work best for 2000 users. 5.03 GEN-A works best for psp 3000 users. Probably was designed mainly for that model.

Sam

Haha KFc, that was funny

ronzky321

QUESTION, how to use the version.txt? Well, what it is for?

Man In The Mirror

u got me ?
Joedakeys

Thats to fake your firmware version like that you spoof the update check of newer games. Remember, don’t update!

H.A.C.K.

BORICUA yo tmbien

Joedakeys

Hey, Boricua. Que bueno! Mira estoy aqui costamizando los icon de los eboot. A uno le di la Bandera, ya tu sabe, de pura cepa.
Joedakeys

Tan diciendo que huele a kentoky, por el ckickhen. Pero estoy aqui trabajando fuerte para hacer PernilEnabler…lol

i have gen-a installed and uninstalled it using the CFE. i noticed that there’s a “files” folder in my memory card and was wondering if that’s from Gen-A. should i delete it? or leave it be? thanks!

Joedakeys

I believe it does belong to Gen-A.

constant60

This is the best site, I found. This CF Enabler 3.3 works great on my PSP2000/3000 too. you have to have the original firmware 5.03 when installing the chickHen R2 or else your going in circle. that’s what happen to idiot like me
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL WHO LABORED THIS PROGRAM and THIS WEB SITE.
dash

i successfully installed 5.03M33-6 in a psp2000. i use to completely shutdown the psp every end of the week. then of course it will revert back to OFW 5.03. now my question is after enabling chickHEN r2. and run again cfwe 3.30, do i have to push UNINSTALL first before INSTALLING again? just like doing it the first time? because no one or anyone tells what to do after… any ideas?

Jhazky

No.. Just choose START..

http://pspslimhacks palamunin

psp fan please answer me if poploader by noob is safe for ps1 plug in please answer!

Joedakeys

Go with popsloader

Dan

this maybe the most stupid question i ever asked but how can i get isos to work it says there corrupt for me

Jhazky

Create an ISO folder in the memory root then put your ISOs and CSOs in that folder NOT in GAME folder..

Dan

thanks i hope it works lulz just backed up my GTA vice storys to test it
TT

when loading an ISO game, my PSP3002 reboot to the Official Firmware. Can anyone please explain?

Jhazky

CFWe next feature: A Pic0 and Pic1 image LOL!
JSTHIR2ASK

Noob Question Here: Does this CFWE stick on the psp firmware??? What I mean is does it stay on my PSP even i turn it off? the reason why Im askin this is because I already Installed it on my psp and decided to format my MS and start from fresh installing when i notice that on the part that I should intall CFWE, the window that should display the “FLASH and INSTALL” part is missing and just continue to enable it… Help here….. pls.

Jhazky

Just select START.. It’s already installed in your flash..

JSTHIR2ASK

So is it normal even I format my Memory stick? i wont able to see that screen again?

PSPHACKER

ahh i m still having trouble wit pops what works eboot or other?

Joedakeys

Eboot is actually your psx game converted to the file that PSP is able to load. PRX files to those games is the drivers to thoes games, without the right ones certain game eboots wont play. Rip your ps1 games to iso and convert to eboot. There are tutorial and software download in this site to do that. Then get the popsloader pack in Kefler’s tutorial also on theis site @forum/user help/Kefler’s Guide.

Just a Noob?

PSPHACKER

maybe maybe not i sure hope so

Joedakeys

Currently there’s no way to read or write to the pre-IPL to Mod it for an easy dump. They may have to prob the hardware.

gengen

Guys I need some help here, I think i done something wrong in my psp. Because everytime i try to save/load any of my UMD/ISO/CSO games my psp just go freeze and then shut down. Anyone knows how to fix this problem, and does anyone encounter w/ this problem. Note:Already tried to re-format my memory stick. Thanks to anyone who will help.

JSTHIR2ASK

What is the use of psardumper500_3000_too????

me

it eats ur brains

Hallock

This works great, and even if you power down completely, reloading it is a cinch. I’m primarily interested in running ISO/CSO and this does the job fine. THANK YOU TO ALL THE DEVELOPERS. I’m they sure put in a ton of time looking for exploits and writing the code.

GREAT JOB.
von

wow it really works^^ nice job..

does it works also in psp 1000 (phat)?

J-FROG

im not sure but on all phats you can get cfw so there really is no point

Joedakeys

To find a good one is pretty hard now days. And they have less memory and abilities, but presently are the best for all this stuff. I keeps me 2 of them.

Joedakeys

You had to be messing with this since psp hack 101 day, when we didn’t even have padoras.
In this case Utube is your friend.

manobon

Soo, after running CFWE, if I want to switch memory sticks (to use other homebrew/whatever), does the ‘new’ memory stick need to have CFWE on it? Or can one Not switch memory sticks on the fly?
Xypro86

Sergio M.

Try using GEN-A then, it works perfectly fine for me with ISOs/CSOs.
Joedakeys

One thing Immma say. Go to you tube and see tutorial on posloader, and they give you download links to popsloader

Dan

Joedakeys

Go to Forum/User Help/Kefler and use his guide. He has a link to the popsloader program.

noobquestionhere

is this permanent even if i turnoff my psp? i was asking because i have a gen-A full on my psp3k i was wondering to switch in cfwe but if its not permanent maybe i should stick to gen-a. anyone?
JSTHIR2ASK

Whats the difference between CFWE3.30 and GEN-A ????????? ANYONE????

Shadowboricua

I think the main difference is that you can edit the Version.txt file in order to play games that require 5.51 to play. I have not encountered that problem so I have not switched from Gen-A to CFW 3.30. I have it as a backup in case the time comes. Apart from the fact that I don’t want to shut down my PSP after everything is working great with GEN-A since the last time that happened it took me about an hour to run ChickHen R2… hehehe

David

Thank you to all that developed this excellent CFE
Aaron

So the CFWE 3.30 only stays on your psp 3000 if u keep it on sleep mode but other than that it will disappear and you will have to start the process all over again. With GEN it stays on, but GEN does have a few problems with it concerning psone games and a few iso/cso games and on another note not all plugins/prx’s work with GEN so idon’t really know which one to go with, Should i go with CFWE becuase it doesn’t seem to have any problems but it can only go to sleep mode to keep it, or with GEN that stays on but, has quite a few problems to it?

z0rN

lol CFE is much better why are people so lazy when it comes to turning there psp off
Shadowboricua

Wrong Aaron, if you turn off the PSP 3000 with GEN-A you have to run ChickHen again and then GEN-A… Same as CFW 3.30

rus

please please help my psp’s firmware 5.51 how i can turn it 5.03 HELPPPPPPP
