It is released. Now MforMature can return to its former glory (the MfM before the exploit was released). With the HEN buzz going to die down, peace is back. :smile:

Curious, am the only one that didn't care whether the HEN was released or not?

and x3, I found a typo:

Also, I am going to test this on 5.00 M33, to check if it works. The screen getting messed up looks so awesome too. 8)

weird, for some reason I can't get homebrew to work o.O i've tried DGEN and PSPComic so far

Ah good stuff Davee & co, though

"Update: We have been notified that there is currently a bug preventing ChickHEN from functioning properly on 2000 and 3000 units. An update is expected early tomorrow."

I have to give a +1 for counting chickHENs before they... xD

I wonder what happens with certain homebrew that glitches out and black screens the psp with the pop noise while running via this exploit. Any chance of bricking i wonder even though it says does not write to flash.

No, you are not.

Big thanks to Davee and Co - Nice work :wink:

after weeks of wait...

it's finally here!

thanks and good job to team typhoon, davee and matiaz.

but...

the f***in net in our house is down...

bad luck...

5.03 OFW (Sony) download link : [rapidshare.com]

put in a folder called UPDATE and then place it in the GAME folder..

Yh im not to bothered either about this that much, its prolly because we already have CFW. lol

just wondering, does this exploit have kernal access?

So i have a question , i've been away for a while, is there anyway to put CFW on the psp3000? I've read that there is but i wasn't sure.

no there is no way yet to put CFW on the PSP300

The archive here has been updated with an "unofficial" fix from maibrithahn. Homebrew runs smoothly now -- just tested it out on my 3000 unit. Works great.

homebrew is great, i enjoyed it more than the games out

What brew have you been using? Anything fail to load yet.........

Now the Hen has arrived i might go and buy a 3000.

It seems this is a release by maibrithahn and not official by Davee or Team Typhoon. The article should be changed to reflect this and i hope this release doesn't piss off Davee similar to the KAI Exophase incidents.

Well, I guess we custom firmware users and the rest of the non-PSP are the only ones who did not.

It has full kernel access. But the kernel mode homebrew for older versions must be ported to 5.03 so it can be compatible.

If you install custom firmware on the PSP-3000, you will brick. In the PSP-3000, the Pre-IPL was patched bo s0nY so the custom IPL used in custom firmware will not load; thus leading to a permanent brick if custom firmware is installed.

Someone should make a thread in PSP General called "5.03 ChickHEN Homebrew Compatibility List", I will be more than glad to sticky the thread if it is made. :D

Right, it is noted in the update that this is an unofficial fix. I didn't feel a separate article was necessary.

I've only tried NesterJ so far. From what I've been hearing compatibility is great. The only things people are having trouble with are applications based on the 1.5 kernel. But most homebrew has been ported to 3.X now, so that's not really an issue.

You're right. I provided a quote below (from MforMature) that explains all the reasons 1.50 kernel homebrew just doesn't work.

All that information above states that 99.9% of 1.50 kernel homebrew will not work on the 5.03 ChickHEN. Ever.

So if anybody asks about 1.50 legacy homebrew for ChickHEN, tough luck for them.

Also, a suggestion to the article is to add a line / notice somewhere that says that 1.50 legacy homebrew has a small chance of working on this ChickHEN.

1.50 legacy probably has m33 modules and was designed for cfw so it's not compatible with hen.

Umm.. actually no.

1.50 legacy homebrew is old homebrew that was coded for Official Firmware 1.50. That 1.50 homebrew does not even require a single M33 module, that is why 1.50 homebrew worked on Version 1.50 and all SEs, OEs and the M33s (3.51 - 3.52 M33 series) without a problem. XD

Maybe he meant LEDA - the environment for running 1.5 homebrew on a Slim. That requires M33 modules and wouldn't run through HEN.

does it work if u have firmware 5.50?

cuz i tried it but it didnt work

when i installed it it says unsupported data

s0nY fixed the TIFF exploit in Version 5.50.

You should not have updated.

I think they just withdrew support for the tiff format rather than patched it, but the result is the same, and probably the motive :crying:
