Just bought myself...

Blue PSP 3006 box set
8GB
Screen Protector
Computer Cable
Total RM800

+Capdase Casing
Additional RM45

Bought at PS Zone (Giant Taman Connaught)

So happy that PSP3k is how hackable, and so easy to do. Only thing it is temporary, have to redo the steps if psp shutdowns... but no sweat, easy to redo again.

Because new PSP2000 units all also cannot hack like they used to. New PSP2000 units can be hacked using PSP3000 method, which is also temporary.

Anyone knows where (preferably in shopping mall in KL/PJ) to change the whole casing front and back for PSP2000?

You should not use the would crack out loud here.

Custom firmware is stable, no problem so far

Yes confirm.

If you off the PSP / change the battery / PSP crashed in a game, then you have to redo some steps on your PSP to activate back the custom firmware. Reason, the custom firmware is being loaded in the RAM and the core firmware is untouched.

As long as the custom firmware programs are still on your memory card, there is no problem redoing it easily.

I have no problem with 8GB memory card.

It hangs cause you press scroll up and down too slow or paused.

Do the scrolling up and down quickly and try not to pause.

Yes, I know it is random but I noticed by scrolling it helps improve the chance of loading ChickHEN. If I don't scroll, sometimes it can, but most of the time it hangs. So by scrolling, I can get into ChickHEN within 1 to 3 times trying.

I got this advice from the PSP shop I bought my PSP.

PSP3k / PSP2k v3: Installing ChickHEN R2 mod2 for Firmware 5.03 & Custom Firmware Enabler 3.50

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/249979760/Chic...nabler_3.50.zip

03) Extract ChickHEN_R2_mod2___Custom_Firmware_Enabler_3.50.zip into your PSP's memory card.

04) It should look like this:-
<Memory Card>\h.bin
<Memory Card>\PSP
<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

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 3.50. 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.

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.

PSP Tip: How to sort backup / homebrew games in your Games menu?

PSP Games menu sorts the files based on file creation dates & time. Newest file on top and Older files below.

To sort it, all you need to do is to change the date & time creation for your backup / homebrew games.

There is this useful freeware utility where you can change the file created / modified / accessed dates easily.

SetFileDate 2.0
Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/250137485/setfd20.zip

You can sort the backup / homebrew games according to any order you want by changing the creation date & time.

For the example below, I want PSP Games menu to sort all my backup / homebrew games according to alphabetical order. So what I did was, set the date to the same day and change the minutes sequentially, from bottom up (which makes A - Homebrew Game the newest file and H - Homebrew Game the oldest file)

Yes

Step 01a to 01l - Do this only once.

Step 05 to 15 - Do this every time if you shutdown your PSP. So if you don't want to go through these steps again, just put your PSP on standby.

Sorry ya... (noticed what you offer at your signature).

This file is a combination of ChickHEN R2 mod2 + Custom Firmware Enabler 3.50. You can download it separately and combine them.

Or, just restart your modem and get a new IP so that you can download from rapidshare again

Or, just buy rapidshare account lor

Until which step you have problem?

At the PSP main screen, press Select

Set, UMD ISO Mode = M33 driver
