Alright, here's something to blow you away. Custom firmware on PSP 3000. Wait what? Custom firmware on PSP3000?? Yes, it's not a joke. The guys over at PSP GEN have done it.

They are reporting about a PSP 3000 running HEN custom firmware through the recently found GripShift savegame exploit.

Thanks to Hellcat and EvilSeph for the news

For those unfamiliar with it:
“HEN” is short for “Homebrew ENabler” and is basically the core of every custom firmware, it’s that part that makes all the patches and other magic required to launch homebrew on the PSP.
The big difference of HEN to a custom firmware, as it’s known these days, is that nothing gets written into the PSPs internal flash but everything happens in memory only - this also means it’s gone by the next coldboot and needs to be reapplied through the exploit, but that’s a small price to pay, most will say.
Although the creators of this achievement say it won’t be released to the public until at least a second kernel exploit has been found (due to Sony patching it as soon as the files are released), this definitely puts up high hopes for things to come on the PSP 3000.
