Custom Firmware Enabler v2.1 - Added POPS support!
Custom Firmware Enabler v2.10 has been released, Xenogears and Becus25 have released an update to their Custom Firmware loader, version 2.1 now supports POPS (PSX Emulator). When used in conjunction with ChickHEN R2, 5.03 firmware TA-88v3 users can M33 load custom firmware without flashing.
How to enable POPS, 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
Oh and the PSP-3000 is NOT supported, yet…..
Changelog:
v2.10:
- Fixed a problem when you change settings for the plugins.
- Fixed internal problems.
- Fixed a problem that caused a crasheo accessing plugins and have no plugin.
- Improved detection of release.
v2.02:
- Fixed a bug in the installation of the Pops (The PRX MD5 is different on each console, so the test worked, but then not)
v2.01:
- Fixed a bug not detect either a previous installation (caused that could not be installed above the new version)
v2.00:
- System pops native activation.
- System configuration Custom Firmware.
- Verification MD5 of files that are installed in flash, if you have not installed either, re-install.
- Nice interface.
- Safety flasheos unnecessary.
- Protection from ChickHen load the Custom Firmware.
(It is necessary that this ChickHen in a folder called “ChickHEN inside Photo or Pictures.)- Changed version of the system (now shows 5.03 M33)

Tips:
When selecting the “Option O button: flash M33 custom firmware files into the flash” It doesn’t overwrite any files when flashing, but if your PSP was to lose power when writing to the NAND flash it could equal a brick. So make sure you do this with the PSP powered via the power adaptor and a full battery charge just in case!
POPs support: “The PRX MD5 is different on each console” so that means you have to make your own “pops.prx” and “popsman.prx” using one some else made won’t work it seems. Its unique for each PSP….

Help me guys. How to install other POPS version in this CFWEnabler 2.10. Because I want to play Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The game does not start, it freezes in PS Logo. I read in compatibility list that RE3 need to run other POPS version to avoid freeze in the game. And also you have to edit its ID something. I don’t know how to do this. Is this process safe and don’t end up a bricked PSP? Help me guys! Thanks again.
June 2, 2009 at 3:35 pm
1.download PSARDumper then put it in PSP/GAME
2.copy the EBOOT file from the Firmware 5.00 then put it in the root of your MS
3.then load PSRDumper that should work after this…
GOOD LUCK! im online just keep posting i’ll try to help!
June 2, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I already knew that. I mean, I need other versions of POPS to run.
Here:

Does this work on my PSP 2000 with CFW Enabler 2.50?
I’m afraid if installed. Could this brick my PSP?
June 2, 2009 at 3:52 pm
you currently cant since you need the pop from PSARDumper to make it work, you cant use a psp that u download somewhere else
June 2, 2009 at 3:58 pm
yeah… better just use the PSRDumper… I’ve had a hard time figuring how to install that one too so I decided to just use the PSRDumper and so far it works just fine for me.
June 2, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Please can you explain more clearer. I said I already know how to use PSARDumper, I’ve done it before because I can play other PSX games. My problem is what will I do to PSARDumper to be able to switch to other versions. As far as I know currently my POPS version is 5.00..What will I do to switch to other versions? Have anyone tried playing Resident Evil 3? Mine is always freezing.Maybe required lower versions of POPS but I really don’t know how to do it. Please help! Thank you.
June 2, 2009 at 4:18 pm
guys is your vhicken r2 in ms0:/PSP/PHOTO or in ms0:\PICTURE ???
June 2, 2009 at 5:19 pm
You can use any path you like. Mine is working both. But if you really can’t get into ChickHEN in one folder (example:PHOTO folder) change to other folder (ex.PHOTO folder – can’t really load ChickHEN, change to PICTURES folder, or vice versa).
June 2, 2009 at 4:35 pm

June 8, 2009 at 4:18 pm
find a list of compatibility of pop for re director cut, cause if its only compatible with old pop version your screwed for now i think since we cannot use other pops version since there is only one that psardumper will create and its the only one you can use. To be sure try others ps1 game like syphon filter work good for me .
June 8, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Hey guys!
My slim now will not do anything… I tried running a .cso that did not launch, which in turn shut down the psp, when I turn it back on, it shows a green light, but nothing on the screen, no button presses bring the screen up, and the backlight button is what I tried several times as well..
Looks like a brick, so be careful, I hadn’t updated my cfwe any higher than 2.10 yet…
It will not do anything, via ac adapter, leaving batt out for over a day…
any idea’s besides SOL?
