How to Install Games on your PSP

-

This tutorial will show you How to software mod your PSP 3000 or 2000 (with the TA 088V3 chip) using the ChickHEN hack. Using the ChickHEN hack, you can Install CFW (Custom Firmware) on your PSP 3000 and run homebrew applications and games on your PSP. You can also run game UMD ISOs directly from your memory card. ChickHEN is a homebrew enabler hack which lets you install CFW on your PSP 3000.

The whole modding process can be done in two steps.

1. Install the ChickHEN hack

2. Install 5.03 GEN-A FW OR Install CFW Enabler

Note: This method works only with PSPs having the TA 088V3 board and having FW version 5.03 or lower.

How To Install OFW 5.03

To install ChickHEN, you must have OFW 5.03 installed.

If you have a lower version, just Download OFW 5.03.

Connect the PSP to your computer and put the PBP file in \PSP\GAME\UPDATE\EBOOT.PBP

Install the firmware from your PSP.

To check your Firmware version, go to Settings > System Settings > System Information.

How To Install ChickHEN R2

Download ChickHEN R2 –  ChickHEN R2 – 1 / ChickHEN R2 – 2

Go to the Settings on your PSP XMB and restore to default settings.

Turn off UMD Auto Start and UMD Cache

Connect your PSP to your PC

Extract all the files from the ChickHEN R2 RAR archive you downloaded.

Copy h.bin to the root directory of the memory card.

Copy the ChickHEN folder in SLIM to X:\PSP\PHOTO

Now restart your PSP

Go to XMB > Photo > Memory Stick and wait for the Options menu to appear. Press X to open the ChickHEN folder.

You should see flashing colors and your PSP will reboot into ChickHEN. Check your Firmware version, it should be 5.03 ChickHEN R2.

If it doesn’t work, just read the instructions and try it again.

Next, you can choose to install either PSP CFW 5.03 GEN-A or install CFW Enabler.

I personally prefer installing CFW Enabler 3.01 as it is easier and cleaner than installing CFW 5.03 GEN-A.

How To Install CFW Enabler

Download CFW Enabler 3.01.

Download CFWEnabler 3.5 –  1 / CFW Enabler 3.5 – 2

You should have ChickHEN installed – your Firmware version should be 5.03 ChickHEN R2.

Extract the files in CFWEnabler350.ZIP

Copy the CFWEnabler folder to X:\PSP\GAME

Disconnect the PSP from PC and restart the PSP.

Go to XMB > Game > Memory Stick > CFW Enabler.

After CFW Enabler boots up, select Install and your PSP will reboot.

Your firmware version should be 5.00 M33-6 now. Your PSP is now modded. Game on!

Statutory Warning: I’m not responsible if you brick your PSP following these steps. Proceed at your own risk. :P

  1. Ambar Says:

    Yo buddy nice update. Abe pehle post kiya rehta to it would have saved me the hassle of doing the research before buying my PSP-3004 and 200 bucks to hack. Now please tell the must have softwares/plugins for PSP-3004? I have not installed GEN-A, i only use CFW Enabler 3.50 to hack.

  2. Ambar Says:

    Also which USB cable do u use with PSP?
    I asked in Sonyworld, they had one which costs 990 bucks and they said it is to connect camera to PSP. Any 3rd party miniUSB will work?

  3. Pathik Says:

    Any generic miniUSB will work. I got mine for 40 bucks.

    As for plugins, try Bookr, Hold+, PowerSaver etc. Get them from http://dl.qj.net/PSP/catid/106

  4. Ambar Says:

    Thanks for the reply. I will also check for miniUSB, that damn shopkeeper said USB wont work and u will have to search for software internet and blah-blah. That qj site is banned in my office though.Will check it from cyber cafe.

  5. Neil Shah Says:

    Hey…Thanx alot for your help…i have a question….after running my psp in chickHEN R2, i turned off my psp and then when i turned it on it showed only version 5.03 and NOT 5.03 chickHEN R2…so does that mean that i can’t switch off my psp unless i have 2 reinstall chickHEN

  6. Pathik Says:

    Yea, you can just open the ChickHEN folder again to install it.

  7. gurpreet Says:

    plzzzz help me

    i hav psp 3004

    when i open the chickhen folder in psp my psp hangs and shutdown.. it does not restart.. and the system software reamin same v 5.03… it does not changes to v 5.03 chickhen r2…….

  8. Dizzle Says:

    i installed this successfully yesterday, and accidentally turned it off last night…

    now when i try to go through the steps, i can’t load ChickHEN because the last image is saying ‘unsupported file’…

    how do i fix this?

  9. Dizzle Says:

    i’m running 5.03 M33 right now…

  10. darkmage Says:

    Thank you for this tutorial but it doesn’t work for me.

    My situation is exactly like gurpreet:

    * bought a PSP 3004 with firmware 4.21 installed
    * downloaded official firmware 5.03 and installed
    * format memory stick
    * h.bin copied in the ms root
    * ChickHEN folder inside “SLIM” folder in ChickHEN 2, copied into ms://PSP/PHOTO. NOTE: I had to manually create folder “PHOTO” since it wasn’t there
    * turned on PSP, PSP-PHOTO-MS opened ChickHEN folder
    * PSP hangs and then 20 secs later it shutdown and no changes

    Please help! TYSM

  11. Pathik Says:

    Keep trying. It needs a lot of tries sometimes.

  12. Ambar Says:

    Keep trying guys, also, after PSP starts, quickly goto ChickHEN folder and navigate to the tiff image. Dont press any buttons. Also, delete all other images from PSP, and restore factory settings.

    please help
    thanks

  22. sekhi Says:

    Hi,
    i am planning to buy a psp 3000 within a couple of weeks with the process mentioned above can i played regular games like god of war:chains of Olympus,burn out,…or just those home brew stuff . what is possibility of brick my psp in the above process. if i brick it will i get a warranty,i am also planning to buy a 16 GB memory card(frm bestbuy) but the official set sell only/upto 4 GB cards.Does putting a 16gb slow down my console.

  23. Pathik Says:

    Heena, this is only for PSP 3000+ . For your 2004, you will have to mod it using a service battery, the usual method.

  24. Pathik Says:

    Sekhi, you can play ISOs too. And 16 GB cards are compatible, haven’t used one personally though.

  25. sheki Says:

    Thanq pathik for a prompt reply So, i have decided on going for psp 3000 know i understand that a 16gb is cost me something around 4500 in India while its cost 2000 on ebay.com They say it ship from either china/hong kong will their be any additional taxes from our customs guys.
    Any guys with a personal experience of importing good(small in grams) from foreign countries any ways i ask them to describe/mark it as gift. PLZ guide me with this

  26. dark Says:

    hello. Uh. I need help. I have sucessfully installed ChickHEN, however, afterwards in my memory card, they say theres no games even after I placed them in. Is there an extra step I missed out? Because my version is already 5.03 ChickHEN r2.

  27. dark Says:

    O_O OH UH. NEVERMIND! I FOUND IT OUT MYSELF! THANK YOU FOR THE NOTES THOUGH! :D D~

  28. gcy Says:

    can i know what is XMB?

  29. David Niaz Says:

    XMB stands for Cross Media Bar.

    It’s the main menu on the psp.

    It’s also used on the PSP, Sony Laptops, and some Sony TVs.

  30. Ambar Says:

    @Sekhi, never buy Memory cards from Ebay. Chances are that the cards are fake. I got 8 GB Original card with 5 years warranty for 2.4k. To determine card is fake or not, put it in your PSP and see in the information tab, there it should show Magicgate: Supported. In case of fake cards it shows Magicgate: Unknown.

  31. gcy Says:

    oh i see..but can i know where is the XMB on the psp?
    sorry i’m new in playing psp..i gotta re-on and off coz the psp keep hangs and i dunno how to mod it..

  32. brian Says:

  39. Jonno Says:

  41. Mishkat Says:

    A lil piece of advice, do keep an UMD inside ur PSP at all times. In my case, after modding it I took the UMD out & the system rolled back to normal. I had to mod it back again.

  42. fazil Says:

    hai friend thanks for your information. I bought an psp-2004 ice silver. Last week i gave it to the shop for cracking. The shop keeper cracked it to 5.03m33-m6 . He said that it partially cracked . If you long press the power button the crack goes off , and dont remove the battery he said . He said onlo software is required to crack no need of service battery.

  57. Momo Says:

    Hi
    I’m thinking about getting a psp
    And i can’t decide whether or not to get the 3000 b/c before, everyone said that you can’t hack the 3000.
    I know this is for the 3000, but just to make sure, can you download psp games onto the 3000 like you would onto a 2000?

  58. Pathik Says:

    Yes, you can. You can do anything you can with a 2000 using the ChickHEN patch.

  59. Kaushik Says:

    I have recently have bought a PSP 3004 now the problem is I coudn’t modify the firmware please help……

  60. GaneshKumar.SW Says:

    I have got PSP3004 ver 5.01 with motherboard TA-090 v2, I have updated to ver 5.03 and applied all the procedures after updation eventhough I was not able to run iso, homebrew, cso. Can one explain how to get rid of it?

  61. Anish Says:

    it works perfectly fine!! just follow the procedure as it is.. but installing the chickHEN is a bit tricky as it requires proper timing..u can refer to youtube videos for that..
    anyways its 100% working and safe..

  62. Kiran R Says:

    Hi I’m in USA and planning on buying a 3000 very soon. I really want this to work. Now will it com with the right chip? If so, when I download games, qill I put them in an iso folder in the mem stick like those guys on YouTube? If I follow all of these steps exactly, there’s no chance of bricking, right? And finally, I am Indian, my cousins live in India, should I just ship it to them and have them get it hacked there? Thanks, and please reply quickly or email me at Geniusdudekiran@gmail.com. Thanks soooo much and you rock btw!

  63. Lawrence Says:

  69. Christopher Says:

    few things to get the crack to work just fine
    * get the smallest possible mem card.. i use a 256mb micro sd with pro duo adapter
    * follow the tutorial to the letter
    * if you want to go back to original firmware just restart

    Wow.. I did it. For my previous question, i use soft reset. Thx so much pathik for the great guides… btw mine is psp 3000 ratchet version 5.03.

  79. Beefyer Says:

    Hello!
    A little off the subject but I figured maybe this is the place to ask this…

    Has anyone ever heard of turning your PS3 into a computer? I mean able to play PC games on it. And able to actually use it as a computer?
    I have a program that is supposed to do it and I am wondering if someone has done it or tried with negative results?

    I will buy a PS3 just to try it if someone can actually post what they did to make it work or what they did when it failed so I dont do whatever it was that made it fail.

    thanks
    Sorry off the subject a bit. Delete me if this is out of line!

  80. Pathik Says:

    Not much idea, but could be possible.

    Yellowdog Linux, Ubuntu and Fedora already work on the PS3. YOu could probably try to make WINE work as well and run Windows apps and games on it. Seems a bit farfetched but may work.

  81. sonu Says:

    hey pathik sonu here. r u remember me?

    Hi, I just had a few questions that I’m unsure about. After loading the ChickHEN, and using the CFWEnabler (v3.70 is available now, FYI) to get 5.00 M33-6, do we have to keep the psp on standby? I thought that shutting it down only resets ChickHEN, or does the cfw run off ChickHEN? thanks.

  91. khempal Says:

    hi, Recently I have been to Thailand and brought PSP 300 for my son. The shop owner told me that before giving me the Box which contains 4GB memory stick, one adaptor,one game Rock Bank, he will modify it and loaded five games and he advised me to register this product online. On my return to India I tried to turn it on but I could not do so then I connected it to charger for charging but it ramains charging for two minutes and the orange light which indicate charging goes off. For three days my son could not play even a single game then I separate battery from the PSP and connected it to adaptor and the PSP started working and when my son tried to play game loaded on memory stick, it shows data corrupted.
    Please help me whether it requires modification or from where I can take technical help. I live in Delhi

    need help… where can i download chickhen mode for my psp 3001 …. my cousin accidentally format my psp….what should I do??

  94. Shin Says:

    Hi, I seem to be facing a rather odd problem, and I would be happy if you could help me out with it. Two days ago, I was playing Def Jam Fight for NY and it suddenly froze up. The green light then flashed thrice and it got shut off. I restarted it and tried ChickHEN on it at least 100 times, but it didn’t work. I formatted the memory stick, reset the settings to default, and also tried setting the UMD thingies. Nothing happened. I’m still trying ChickHEN and this might be my 200th attempt.

    PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!

    PS – MHUspeed is also not working.

  95. aman Says:

    I have psp 3001 with version 6.20.There is any software to crack it or how i downgrade it

  96. Axel Says:

    Yeah, so i followed all the steps but when i get to the chickHEN folder my PSP just waits for about 10 seconds and shuts down, and DOESN’T restart. After i turn my PSP back on the chickHEN isn’t installed.
    I shuffled through the comments and it seems that a couple other people are having the same problem, could anyone tell me how they fixed this?

    Thank you.

  97. pspnoob Says:

    Axel..it does not necessary works on the 1st try.. try again. Mine sometimes works after more than 10 times

  109. Edward Says:

    hello,
    nice to see so many reviews on the psp. i wasnt so much interested in psp but i got it as a birthday gift on 1st of july. it says psp-3001 piano black, software version: 4.20.

    i have already read messages of parthik and ambar ofcourse as he/she responded pretty quickly and positively to all the others.

    by the way, i tried many USBs with my psp, having windows 7, IT JUST DOESN’T RESPOND, it doesn’t get it. have tried the sony camera’s cables, also checked the HTC miniUSB though lol, BUT NO LUCK.

    im ready to take any step for the hack but i want to know if the problem of the UN-SYNCHRONIZING is the windows or something else ?

  110. Edward Says:

    ok its synchronized.

    LOL.

    lets see what happens.

  111. Edward Says:

    well i downloaded the OFW 5.03 from several locations including ur link.

    At first there wasnt an update folder, so i created one (if that’s ok). And copied the file into it.

    Secondly, just below the UMD icon in the XMB, it shows psp update ver 4.05 ?????????????????????????????

    ASSISTANCE NEEDED !

  112. Edward Says:

    UPDATED !

  113. Edward Says:

    NEXT THING is REAL !

    i did everything as mentioned by BROTHER. first, in the MP_ROOT folder there are other two folders. should i just paste the h.bin in the MP_ROOT residing with the two folders or should i put it into one of the subfolders ??
    folders’ names are : 1. 101ANV01 and 2. 100MNV01 and both are empty.

    even then i pasted the h.bin in the root and pasted the tiff in the photos and did as you said.

    MY PSP HANGS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN TURNS OFF.

    can you please tell me if i have to start from the very beginning or from the second step i.e. the chickHEN R2 ??

    tried it several times but still the same.

  114. jojo Says:

    i installed chickhen sucessfully but evrytime i turn off my psp it returns to ofw 5.03?please help.thank u

  132. Pipo Says:

    I have a problem, pls help. Why when my battery runs off and forgot to charge. my games already corrupted? im using psp 3000 with chickhen software 5.03 Gen software.
    please advise if this is normal?

  133. Pipo Says:
