thanks

Hey guys, just some qs on updating firmwares.

1. What is the latest custom firmware out now?
2. I read play playboy's guide to updating firmwares and i just want to know can i copy the files to my memory card and then run the firmware from there without using a usb cable?

Thanks!

1. from DA, 5.00m33-6, from mhu2d, 5.50gen-b, for chickhen, cfwe 3.51
2. as long as u have a way to transfer the UPDATE files to ur ms w/o usb cable, then it is fine.

@beycont, yes u can still play umd games even though running umd..but be warn as some games already comes with protection (if cfw is found on ram, the game will refuse to run )

eh MH 2G= MH Unite then MH G=MH freedom 2,

then MH Freedom=? i mean the older MH freedom..

this mh really confusing..... i getting more confused before asking. =.-

Hi, I got a psp 3000 and had custom firmware 5.03gen-A installed months ago and everything is working fine. I just want to know whether can i run a GBA emulator in this custom firmware? I am aware of the instability of 5.03gen-A and I just want to be sure whether is it safe to run the emulator using this firmware. Please advise. Thx.

PSP3k / PSP2k (TA-088v3): Installing ChickHEN R2 mod2 for Firmware 5.03 & Custom Firmware Enabler 3.51

01) Make sure your official firmware is 5.03. To check, go to your System Settings menu -> System Information -> System Software Version 5.03

If your official firmware is above 5.03, then bad news, you cannot install custom firmware. Sorry, the below guide will not work.

If your official firmware is already 5.03, you can proceed to Step 02.

If your official firmware is below 5.03, you must first upgrade to the official firmware to 5.03. Follow the following steps below before going to Step 02.

01a) Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/249978622/OFW_5.03.zip

01b) Extract OFW_5.03.zip into your PSP's memory card.

01c) It should look like this:-
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\UPDATE
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\UPDATE\EBOOT.PBP

01d) Now you need to upgrade official firmware to 5.03. Put your memory card into your PSP with the files loaded above.

01e) Turn off your PSP. Press and hold the off button till it shutdowns.

01f) Turn on your PSP.

01g) Make sure your PSP battery is fully charged or the power adapter is connected.

01h) Go to your Games menu and open the Memory Stick icon.

01i) You should see the PSP Update ver 5.03. Press X on the PSP Update ver 5.03.

01j) Follow the instructions of the official firmware very carefully, and do not allow the process to get interrupted.

01k) Once done, go to your System Settings menu -> System Information -> System Software Version 5.03

01l) Remove
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\UPDATE
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\UPDATE\EBOOT.PBP

Installing ChickHEN

02) Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/253627367/Chic...nabler_3.51.zip

03) Extract ChickHEN_R2_mod2_and_CFWEnabler_3.51.zip into your PSP's memory card.

04) It should look like this:-
<Memory Card>\h.bin
<Memory Card>\PSP
<Memory Card>\seplugins
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME
<Memory Card>\PSP\PHOTO
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\CFWEnabler
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\CFWEnabler\EBOOT.PBP
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\CFWEnabler\Pops
<Memory Card>\PSP\GAME\CFWEnabler\Pops\pops files here
<Memory Card>\PSP\PHOTO\ChickHEN
<Memory Card>\PSP\PHOTO\ChickHEN\ChickHENa.gif
<Memory Card>\PSP\PHOTO\ChickHEN\ChickHENb.gif
<Memory Card>\PSP\PHOTO\ChickHEN\ChickHENc.gif
<Memory Card>\PSP\PHOTO\ChickHEN\ChickHENd.gif
<Memory Card>\PSP\PHOTO\ChickHEN\slim_mod2.tiff
<Memory Card>\seplugins\NetUpdateFixer.prx
<Memory Card>\seplugins\vsh.txt

05) Now you need to get ChickHEN up and running. Put your memory card into your PSP with the files loaded above.

06) Turn off your PSP. Press and hold the off button till it shutdowns.

07) Turn on your PSP.

08) Go to your Photos menu and open the Memory Stick icon.

09) You should see the ChickHEN folder. Press X on the ChickHEN folder. Once you are in the folder, wait for all the images to load or immediately scroll all the way down (down button).

If your PSP screen suddenly goes weird and restarts, then you have successfully loaded ChickHEN. To check whether ChickHEN is loaded, go to your System Settings menu -> System Information -> System Software 5.03 ChickHEN R2

If your PSP hangs or shutdown, then ChickHEN is dead and you need to go back to Step 06 till you get it right. Sometimes you may need to repeat these steps a few times before successfully loaded ChickHEN.

Installing Custom Firmware Enabler

10) Now you need to get Custom Firmware Enabler (CFWEnabler) running. CFWEnabler enables you to play backup / homebrew games.

11) Go to your Games menu and open the Memory Stick icon.

12) You should now see CFWEnabler 3.51. Press X on the CFWEnabler.

For the first time, in the CFWEnabler program, Click on Flash and Start. NOTE: This is only for the first time, you will not see this again if it is already installed. If you are upgrading from previous version, Click on Uninstall then only Flash and Start.

For the second time onwards, pressing X will just restart your PSP.

13) Now you should have CFWEnabler successfully loaded. To check whether CFWEnabler is loaded, go to your System Settings menu -> System Information -> System Software 5.03 m33-6

14) At the PSP main screen, press Select, set, UMD ISO Mode = M33 driver.

15) You are now ready to go. Put backup / homebrew games into <Memory Card>\ISO folder and it will appear in your Games menu.

16) Once you have finished the game, just put your PSP into standby mode by pressing the off button quickly (don't hold).

17) If you have Off the PSP / changed battery / game crashed and shutdown, then go back to Step 06.
