Thanks to Davee and Team typhoon, custom firmware can now run on PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with TA-088v3 via the chickHen hack. Using chickHen, you can run custom firmware to play ISO/CSO games and run homebrew applications.
So what is chickHen?
ChickHEN is an loader for all Sony PSP models (1000, 2000 and 3000) to run homebrew apps on official Sony 5.03 firmware. Everything runs on the onboard memory of the PSP so there’s no risk of damage (unless you stray away from the instructions). The current version of chickHen is chickHen-R2.
Important: If you have official firmware 5.50 installed, stop now. You can’t install the chickHen hack which means you can’t install any of the custom firmware for your PSP (5.03 GEN-A or Custom Firmware Enabler). As of 5.50 OFW, the TIFF exploit that the chickHen hack runs on is already patched.
Requirements:
•A PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with TA-088v3 motherboard.
•A firmware version of 5.03 or lower. If you have anything higher, you can’t install chickHen.
•Download: 503.pbp | 503.pbp | 503.pbp
•Download: ChickHEN R2 | ChickHEN R2 | ChickHEN R2
Update your PSP to OFW 5.03
Skip this step if you already have official firmware 5.03 installed.
•Connect your PSP to the computer in USB Mode
•Copy the 503.pbp to folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE
•Disconnect the PSP from USB
•Run the Update via XMB
•When the update finishes proceed to installing chickHen R2.
