psp-3000 hacked: one small step for hackers, one giant step for homebrew
May 7th, 2009 comments (8) stumble it! digg it! by: lambert v.
And so it has come to pass: a group of developers calling themselves Team Typhoon recently achieved a breakthrough in hacking the PSP-3000 via member Davee’s ChickHEN Homebrew Enabler. As proof, a Team Typhoon member posted a video of ChickHEN at work on YouTube, adding, “This proves that the code survives a reboot and the system software and MAC address can be changed.”
However, the exploit is still in development and has limited functionality. Unlike the hacks for the PSP-1000 and PSP-2000, the HEN TIFF exploit does not allow installation of custom firmware, won’t allow a PSP-3000 to play backups of PSP or PSX games (such as those in .ISO and .CSO formats), load plugins or “touch the flash” of a PSP. That last one sounded a bit dirty. Anyway, Here’s the video of a PSP with 5.03 firmware booting on the HEN environment:
While the HEN exploit still has no PSP/PSX backup support, it can be used to run emulators – such as the GBA emulator gPSP, pictured below – as well as other homebrew games and programs, such as the well-known PSPTube.
Head on to Davee’s website for more details on ChickHEN. You can also download the hack on his website, but make sure that a.) you’re running firmware version 5.03 and b.) you absolutely know what you’re doing, because if you break your PSP you only have yourself to blame. Hackers don’t offer no warranty; they break ‘em.

i have a ?
if chicken hen can run hombrew then why can’t we after running chicken hen then run a hombrew app called hellcats recovery flasher that has M33 files in it
allowing you to run custom firmware ?
idk i don’t have one can’t test it out
With HEN on the 3000 you can’t “touch the flash” and hellcats recovery flasher has to access the flash to use m33.
can i get the link to download chicken
Google is a mighty mighty tool of the internet. Please make use of it.
yea, I used this hack (ChickHen) to get my psp 2000 into hen mode or w/e
then with hellcats recovery flasher, I installed custom firmware onto my psp, or can you just not install on the 3000?
just use cfw enabler
that’s the thing, I don’t wanna have to go thru all those steps all the time, I used CheckHEN to flash m33 firmware to my 2000, I just wanna be able to do it on the 3000, I was just wondering why it’s possible on the 2000 and not 3000.
its not really that bad, its two steps, and you only have to do it if you lose power to the psp, if you put it in sleep it will stay “hacked”. I did this on a friends psp and he hasn’t had to redo since i put it on there.
