Custom Firmware Enabler v1.0 – Load M33 CFW via ChickHEN


Custom Firmware on your TA-88v3 (PSP-2000 only!)

Custom Firmware on your TA-88v3 (PSP-2000 only!)

Fancy a bit of custom firmware on that PSP-2000 TA-88v3 motherboard? Well you can now as Xenogears and Becus25 of the Dark-Alex forums have released a custom firmware enabler.

So what does it do? Temporary Loads custom firmware via R2 to your PSP’s RAM, allowing many of the CFW features to be used, however not all (for example play PSX games) Yes ISO and CSO files will run…..

This works on Ta-88v3’s and other motherboards. But NOT PSP-3000’s so please don’t try or you’ll brick your PSP.

Here’s the release notes from Xenogears and Becus25 (Translated from Spanish, so there are some errors)

What is?
A program that activates the functions of the custom firmware using .

What do I need?
- A PSP Slim (Slim only works with, regardless of the plate you have)
- Firmware version 5.03.
- R2 (minimum)

Compatibility:
- The functions are the same with the 5.00 , all work except:
- Recovery (Se cree may be anticipated that an alternative power to set the homebrew CFW)
- Pops (PSX Games)

Installation:

- Copy the folder to your psp CFWEnabler in X: / PSP / GAME /

To be like this: X: / PSP / GAME / CFWEnabler / EBOOT.PBP

How to use:

Starts from the picture section. Then start the homebrew called for CFW Loader .
The first time you need CFW to install modules into the flash memory with the option Circle (Do not override, simply add modules, it is a safe process.)
Then press X to start the CFW.
You are in a CFW!

FAQ:

- Can load isos? – Yes, yes you can.
- Do you like my PSP Slim is fucking plate? – Yes, it does not matter.
- Does my PSP3000? – No, not working, at least.
- Can you break my console? – It is true that he writes some files in internal memory, but does not overwrite anything, so this is not problematic.
- When you turn off the console I have to repeat the procedure? – Yes, you have to repeat it, but do not have Flash modules each time.
- And you can not prevent either procedure? – Could be avoided if we could do an IPL compatible, so you need information PreIPL.
- Is expected to be in the future rectify the current problems? – It is possible, but is not guaranteed anything.
- Is expected that a future compatible with PSP3000? – You might try, but is not guaranteed anything.
- Does the SDK? – Yes, it works.

Acknowledgements:

- A Dark_AleX for the modules.
- Especially him, who knows who he is, and that is part of the credit for helping him.

Un Saludo.

    Looks like Davee is going to be left in the dust. If Davee doesn’t release some form of cfw for the psp 3k others will. It’s only a matter of time, the title of CFW creator for PSP 3k is still up for grabs and someone WILL grab it. There are loads of people out there looking to make a name for themselves with other hackers just to gain access to the underground archive of hacks, and they will stop at nothing to gain it. More often than not, just 1 good hack will gain you access to the underground world and to me that’s a very thin line seperating the underground archive and the rest of the world.

      No this cannot be installed on the psp 3000 since custom firmware for the psp 3000 has never been developed, since it was impossible before to istall cfw so no one took the time to build custom firmware on specifically for psp 300, thats why it works only on slims.
