September 29, 2006HEN Revision C Released!
Posted by greg
Update: Confused with HEN? Not sure where to copy particular files to your memory stick? Zephyrus has supplied a complete RAR package containing everything you require maintaining proper directory structure. Also included is a complete guide to get up and running with minimal questions asked.
Download: Zephyrus’ Complete HEN Package
Dark_AleX doing what he does best with a new release of the highly favoured Homebrew Enabler (HEN) for firmware 2.71! Revision C comes with a changelog that is sure to knock your pants off…
- User mode static ELF’s are now starting to work. Tested with SNES TYL 0.3 (user mode version), PSPMaster and CPS2PSP 1.0 (user mode version). Kernel mode static elf’s are still not supported, they are a very odd case in 1.XX of kernel code loaded to user memory. Kernel Homebrew for 2.71 has to be written with a user main elf/prx that load kernel prx’s. Note that the homebrew must be in a true pbp, not kxploited!
- User mode prx’s could load other user mode prx’s, but kernel mode prx’s couldn’t load user mode prx’s. This is fixed.
- Patched the firmware to allow it to understand the old SFO format. (avoiding the error of data is corrupted)
- Added a small win32 binary that will give you a hint about if a homebrew can work or not in the current release. Note that this is only a hint.
Static ELF’s! *gasp*
To update, simply ensure HEN is not running (hard reset your PSP) and copy these new files to your memory stick. Run the TIFF and presto — Revision C should be in working order. More details in README.TXT.
Again, props Dark_AleX on another great release.

Last!!wOOt
Good, keep up the good work!! Yawl makin me all kinda money cause people too lazy to search for info themselves. Dark Alex rules!
Still doesn’t support 2.8 :((
WHY DID I EVER UPGRADE!!
Because I’m stupid….. That’s why.
wow keep up the fantastic work alex. cheers
I still think Dark_AleX rocks btw.
READ MY NAME!!!
uh huh.
=D
keeeeewl
oh yeah a question to Dark_Alex or anyone else that can answer,(and yes its a noobish question) can u change the time of the day emulating 1.50 or 2.71 and keep that time after u hard reset?
p.s
not to sound like a kiss ass but…….u kick ass dark alex ^.^
does anyone know if this can be used in place of the one used for devhook (ie me a 1.5 user can use this in devhook instead of HEN B like the prog that recently came out uses so i dont have to exit it)
hmm…to bad hes not 100% concantrated on a 2.80 loader or downgrader…
i want 2 know if i can use this whit devhook 2 cuz i got 1.5 and i want 2 try it
Ladies and gentlemen dark_alex strikes again. does sony even stand a chance anymore?
Good work Dark_Alex
so is this a better then b version. is it more stable? can i replace it with the preious version B without afecting other things or what?
The Golden Age of 2.71 is around the corner, i have a feeling that within a few months all of us 1.5 users will be upgrading. Dark_AleX and all of the other homebrew programmers are opening the door to a new world on the PSP… VIVA LA HOMEBREW!
Nah.. i’d rather stick to 1.5 and emulate. It’s far more stable than using the HEN on 2.71. Nevertheless, i’m happy to hear this news.. (: and thanx Dark_AleX for making it possible!
i gonna stay on 1.5 untill it support evrything u can do whit a 1.5 2day if i want 2.71 i use devhook but if it gonig 2 do all that 1.5 does i gonna chage (i thingk)
it will be a sad day when the zombies inevitibly feast on Dark Alex’s delicious brain meat.
For those who think that ask, “Does Sony stand a chance?” the question’s answer is of course they do.
Once you exploit one version, sure, you can keep coming up with new methods and fixes for said version. But it’s not the same as exploiting all versions.
2.8/2.81 is still kicking the crap out of the community. We might see some developments towards 2.8/2.81 soon, but, if you upgrade to 2.82, or 2.9 or whatever, you’re just creating a problem for yourself, not for us.
Once you’re in emulated 1.5, is there a way to get in a web browser on your PSP without turning it off and having to do HEN all over again to go back to emulated 1.5?
Would the only way be to use the Wipeout Pure web browser? Does it still even work?
Is there a way to get only the browser part of Wipeout and make it an ISO so it takes up a small amount of memory?
You don’t have to emulate 1.5 on your 2.71 unless you want to run 1.50 homebrews which are not currently fully supported in 2.71 yet. You can just use direct and easy emulation for ISO/CSO by running the patch, then the devhook port for 2.71, and run 2.71 in flash to emulate the ISO/CSO.. Hmm, I don’t think you can absorb what I’m trying to say anyway.. But I’ve already made a compiled pack of necessary files that includes HEN_C, devhook port for 2.71, and 1.50 dump and a pretty detailed and noob-friendly readme. I’ve sent in the package to greg and it will appear on PSP-Hacks shortly, make sure to keep a lookout for it. It’ll help you in lotsa ways. ^^
Where can I get a dump of 2.71 so I can load ISOs that require higher firmwares? I tried dumping my 2.71, but it didn’t work.
hhahahahahahahahahahaahah 2.80 users
Dark Alex thank you! Now for the eager 2.8 users… just a little more patience :-)
do what i did brick ur psp so that it deletes all of the psp OS on ur psp then use a 1.00 DUMP but prepare the auto executable on ur memory chip b4 you brick ur psp ;) it worked for me and now i went from 1.00 to 1.50 and im loving the homebrew ;) i might release a guide on how to do this later on my psp was 2.81 i bricked it on purpose i dumped 1.00 and then upgraded to 1.50 & guess what ALL FIRMWARES ARE DOWNGRADABLE THROUGH THE METHOD I FOUND OUT MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA ill release a guide on how-to on my website later on and maybe the owner of psp-hacks will post it ;)
Say woooot?! #25.. Thats awsome.. Link us to your homepage! I want to know how to do this tight now!
If what you say is true.. You’re way more smart then Dark Alex and his crew!
Techno FTW i guess.. If what you’re saying correspond to the truth..
more to come i guess??
wow, simply amazing, I think the best to do, is that if all static elfs, user mode and kernel mode are supported, Dark_Alex should make a permanent patch, than 2.71 would be just like a 1.5 but no need for DevHook firmware emulation, but still for the iso/cso emulation. This would be the best thing ever, and will defenetly help out TA-082 Users. I got a TA-079 mobo with downgraded 2.00 to 1.5, but I would defenetly upgrade to 2.71 and patch it permanatly if this would ever happen.
wat about us 2.80 we could use a downgrader or somthing like an e loader plzzz people im borad
if Techno not lieing ore use a Mod-chip (like UP) the he´s amsing and if this is true its better than any downgrader but i wouldnt use it cuz 1.00 downgrader allready half-bricked my psp once whit it so i ws needed 2 upgrade 2 2.00 :( but the i downgraded pretty fast 2 1.5 agin cuz i love 1.5
Hi,
Could someon please answer this question.
Do you have to run this application every time you Hard reboot your PSP and want to run homebrew.
thats what it is for when your psp is half bricked.
Ok, I’m sure this is old news to most of you, but I was finally able to run a backuped iso (technically it’s a CSO). I have 2.71 fw. I followed several different directions and came up with my own. Here’s how I did it:
1. Without a UMC CD in the drive, I booted up. I ran the RAND Tiff from the HENC.
2. I ran the Devhook 2.71, chose the firmware 1.5, the ISO I wanted to play, chose to play with any UMD in the drive. I selected Start and it rebooted.
3. I ran the Devhook 2.6 and chose the firmware 1.5, the ISo I wanted to play, chose to play with any UMD in the drive, selected Reboot and chose to reboot to the UMD.
It rebooted and I was successful for the first time. I have the Crap Motherboard that wasn’t able to downgrade. This is a great day.
Again, sorry if this is old news for you, but I’m going to have a GREAT weekend!!!
I hope you sheep fallow this guy and brick your shit , He cant even sype english right , And as you may knotice is acting childish. DO NOT TAKE SHIT FROM ANYONE THAT CANT PROVE IT WORKS .
IF YOU DO YOUR FUCKING RETARTED!!!
Not post #37 btw . I was talking about #36
Err i mean TECHNO . Not ANDYELS
a# Hay Techno i havent say i didn´t blive u i just say that if didn´t use a mod-chip its fucking amzing and if u wont give ME it i wont cear cuz I GOT FW 1.50 but if its true put it on the internet b4 some1 else do and take all the creds if i found out something like that Techno i would put it on the internet as fast i knowed it works
b# Whit a half-brick i mean that the psp boot up correct but when i get 2 xbm i can´t do anything nothing happends if i press a buttom but i fixed that prob whit a umd updater cuz umd boot worked
so if this multi downgrader is true give it out B4 SOME1 ELSE DO
Bah…im an idiot..
If I am running HEN rev B, which files am i suppose to replace to get HEN C up and active?
i wouldnt try the “Techno theory”
nope.
Nice Dude.. I Installed and its better :P
i wouldent use the Techno thing enthier if i didn´t have 1.5 if i gonna try something i want 2 have proof first but i will maby never try it cuz i got 1.5 and the only update reason i can see is if it can save mefrom a half-brick agin so i wont thingk i will need 2 use the Techno theory and it sounds like he have a UP mod-chip ore something and then its nothing
Holy crap…looks like 8 year old kids write comments on here
me presenting a question obviously lets you know im a noobie but besides that i really don’t understand any of what is being said but i do know you guys are doing a kick ass job keep it up but i do have one request cn you guys make it a little easier to understand what is being presented in front of me please much love psp-hacks rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your all dumb fucks this is his brother he wiped his psp and was sad 1 day we played around with some 1.00 dump and set it up on a friends psp cause we were downgrading it from 2.71 to 1.50 SO we got some files on the psp kept trying over and over and it dumped all the 1.0 files on his psp and it said to turn it off we did turned it back on and it was version 1.0 i updated it to 1.50 and DLED IrShell lmao :) but ya if u brick ur psp i would not reccomend doing it the way that we did but it did work but im not all sure about what a “bricked” psp really is anyways a bricked psp = all files deleted & nothing shows up but a black screen if so then i have figured an easy way to downgrade i will make a guide on my website soon and maybe try to get a video of it being downgraded on my webcam.
@andyels: erm.. you don’t have to do that.. you can just run 2.71 and select 2.71(flash) then it will reboot your PSP and now you’re running ur CSO. That’s why I said, you don’t have to (emulate) go back down to 1.5 and use the devhook in 1.5, the one ported over works fine.. My pack will be released on PSP-Hacks soon with a detailed readme, so yeah, just wait for it.
@Techno: therory-based, what you’ve said should not work.. and you just contradicted your bro’s post by saying you set it up on some FRIENDS PSP.. not your bro’s bricked set. stop trying so hard to gain attention.. you’re not welcomed. no further spam needed. gosh.. noobs..
How do I load CSOs that need 2.6 or higher firmware from my 2.71 TA-082? My 2.60 dump wouldn’t load with devhook…. :(
Zephyrus stfu i didi fix my psp my bros just trying to get attention…
@me: You need HEN_B2 (or HEN_C since its released already), devhook launcher port for 2.71(with flash support), and install it, then run the patch and run the devhook for 2.71, then select 2.71(flash) for firmware. Also, for that, you don’t need any dump, it will load the 2.71 from your PSP flash, and emulates the CSO/ISO you’ve selected.
@Techno: i don’t really care, stop spamming here and get a life. what can a video prove? no one will believe you because if it was that simple, DAX and the other developers would have already came out with a downgrader.. WE AINT STUPID, like you..
this guy is just crazy… what an accomplishment for the higher FWs.
I’m still looking forward to the day that I can perm-install whatever firmware I want and then just change back instantly through the xmb - game area, back and forth through the firmwares as I wish - homebrew enabled on all. That is my dream… and it is looking closer and closer to completion with this guys work.
always good stuff
-DarkPacMan77-
is the new HENC as difficult to run as HENB? what i mean is the startup that fails to load a lot of times, and u have to keep trying.
i have a ta082 mobo and i’ve got all the necessary files to do it, but am worried cos it seems unstable. maybe dark_alex will come up with a more stable version in the future :D
Nah, it’s very stable, it only hangs around 2-3 times at most. To patch this over, just delete the HENB folder from your PSP/PHOTO folder, then place the DH folder from Devhook to ur mem root, then the henc folder to photo folder, that’s it, all done. Oh, don’t forget the new patch files at the root of the mem stick too. patch, bin.. all those, yep. The steps are still the same, so it’s not a matter of difficult or not. It won’t fail that much, at least for me. This is due to the unstabability of the tiff file.. yeah DAX will try. xD
Does any wanna know how to run HenB or C that is stable?? if so ill be on aim for a lil bit…my sn is HumNoiKing9
erm.. you can just post the solution here.. instead of having people to add you on AIM, most of the time it’s stable, for me, at most once, or twice.. depends on luck.
i wouldnt mind updating to 2.71 if there are plans for soft downdater for 2.6 (im on 2.6 now). but it’s only for original 2.5 and i dont think my 2.6 applies. so i’m worried if HENC aint stable and causes probs for me, i’d have to wait longer for a downgrader cos i would be on 2.71 by then.
i have a question: can anyone tell me how exactly do u run the HENC? first u startup HENC, then devhook; is that it? do u have to run HENC and devhook again after u turn off ur psp or just the devhook? cos from what i see it is HENC that is unstable.
0okm already made the statement that his downgrader for TA-ers is compaitible with fw2.71 when its released, so everyone can update to 2.71. HEN_C is stable, it worked for me..
First you set up everything including the ported devhook for 2.71, then u run HEN_C thr the photo XMB, then it will show a green screen if its successful the first time, then after that it will reboot. the patch will be there until u do a hard reset, then after that u’ll need to go to the hen_c again when u want to run devhook and homebrews. then, this time it wont show a green screen cuz no flashing is required, it will only show a blue screen and reboot, then after that u can run devhook for 2.71 for ur CSO and ISO. I’ve made a package that is ultra noob-friendly and sent it in to greg, just wait for him to post it up. I’ve made a detailed readme too. ^^
thanks for the reply. but from what i understand from 0okm’s statement, he says it is compatible with fw 2.71 but only with psp’s that are original 2.5. unless i read wrongly? 0.o
just one more question: how do you hard reset ur psp? hard reset means holding the power button up for more than 3 secs?
and. if i have a 1006k psp, do i update using the jap or US version of 2.71? dont ask me to go to the HK psp website, cos i can’t read chinese.
nope, originally it was, but i think now it’s going good with all ta-082 2.71. anyway you know, not all boards are ta-082 when you see the ic1003.. they can be ta-083 ta-084.. because I work in a shop myself and I’ve disassembled several sets and saw the motherboard.
hard reset : turning ur PSP totally off and turn it back on, yeah like what u said. if u run into problems like a hang or a homebrew crash, u may have to hold up to 20secs to hard reset. don’t resort to pulling out the batt before u try a hard reset.
it’s okay to use the jap version of 2.71. ^^
My own PSP is a 1006K too, fw1.5, I bought it in Singapore last May, yeah.. but currently my buttons are spoilt, and im not a hardware savvy, so i got my boss to help me take a look at it, but he’s a busy man, so i left it at the shop (and since i have exams now, i cant go down that often), and took a TA-082 2.60 set home to play with. Got permission to upgrade it to 2.71, so yeah, I made a noob-friendly 2.71 pack for others, sent it in to greg and hopes he post it up soon, cause I don’t want to give my ddl link out or else my webserver would run out of bandwidth. =D
I have three PSPs right now. One, my PSP-1006K, second, my PSP-1000, bought it second hand, a pure jap set with 1.50 firmware. Third, the TA-082 fw2.71 that I’m playing with now. My own PSP has the PSP2TV adapter installed, and my PSP-1000 is going to be sold soon, to earn some money, and I’m going to play with the fw2.71 until I get my 1.5 back, heh. ^^
If you really need further help or you want my pack before greg posts it, I can send it to you through MSN. Just inform me if you need further help.
heh :D there’s no way i could tell if mine is ta083 or 084 if i dont disassemble em, yea?
well, if it’s like u said, 0okm’s downgrader would work for all ta-082 mobos up to 2.71, i would definitely go for HENC. do u have the link to the statement, anyhow? just to make sure.
zephyrus, thanks for the help. if you could give me your msn? i have a bunch of questions that i need answers for :D hehe.
this thing is so cool
im not actually a ta-082 user but
i was afraid of downgrading but while i was play the usual homebrew my psp restarted and said ur psp files hav corrupted and press ‘O’ to repair so i did that and i had to set all the time date nickname and stuff again!!
then i realized that it had downgraded my psp!!!
:)
thanx everyone

Oops.. it’s original 2.50 only, but don’t worry, still, upgrade cause 2.71 is much much much better. It will eventually outshine 1.5 with things going this way.
go download winrar then.. you just friggin expended the page layout with your super long plzzz_z, gosh..
i cant down load win rar can some one make a zip of snake plzzz for 2.80
@Zephyrus: So do I leave the 271 and 271F folders alone to run CSOs that need 2.6 or higher firmware?
That’s what I did, and when I try to load 2.71 Flash in DevHook, my PSP’s screen turns black, then 10 seconds later, it turns itself off.
Can you AIM the DevHook pack you made? My screen name is taco5858
You probably have some files that are messed up. Sorry, I can’t AIM you the files, but it should be up on PSP-Hacks pretty soon. Just wait for a while more. ^^
@Zephyrus: Can you plz email me the DevHook pack then? My email is taco111@gmail.com
hi DOES THIS WORK ON FW 2.6???????
PLEASE REPLY SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF NOT IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR A 2.6 ISO LOADER?
thanks in advance
No, this doesn’t work on 2.6. Just upgrade to 2.71.. It doesn’t kill. No use sticking with 2.6 and wait for “undefined” amount of time for the downgrader.. once all homebrews are enabled for 2.71, it will truely outshine 1.5.
@taco: just wait..
wat about a down grader for 2.80 or e loader reply soon
ho doi upgrade to 2.71? i cant upgrade from the psp website cos that will take me straight 2 2.8
HELP PLEASE
sorry bout the bad english
gosh.. stop asking stupid questions. the downgrader for 2.8 will take a while, it may be just later today, tomorrow, or months after.. i really don’t want to flame you.. an eloader, don’t think so. it can run simple, real simple, homebrews for now using the tiff exploit, but anyone who upgraded to 2.8 are retards, so they deserve it.
@Azeem: hmm ISO loader for 2.6.. not sure, its possible, but since the whole scene is concentrated on 2.71, it wouldn’t hurt to upgrade..
k im upgrading now thnx evry1 for the advice i no this is the only place i rely on for homebrew advice
now tht ive updated is der an iso loader for 2.71?
*working iso loader, or is trains iso laoder stable enough?
@Zephyrus: The DevHook pack works just fine, except when I’m in emulated 1.50 the X and O buttons are switched…
How do I fix this?
Because the registry file in the 1.5 dump was from mine, and mine uses the O button.. Just replace the dh/flash1/registry (the files inside) with your own one.. Anyway, if you want to emulate CSO/ISO, just read my readme, have fun..
as long as I turn my psp on with no disc in the drive (or the the drive at least left open) this 1 has worked everytime :) great work Dark_AleX :)
it doesn’t seem to like it when I forget and boot the umd then press home and exit but thats no biggie… is there anyway I can get the devhook with usb support working from 2.71?
@Zephyrus: I just want to double-check something. If I replace the DevHook that the pack comes with with a different DevHook (say, the one that lets you run stuff over USB), will I still be able to run fw2.71 from the PSP’s onboard memory or do I have to run it from a dump?
I HAVE PROBLEMS RUNNING ISO.
i have henB working.
and i am able to emulate 1.5 and 2.71 using devhook.
can someone plase give a noob-friendly guide on how to do this?
(a one that DOSENT require me to run 2.71FLASH)
THANK-YOU
Jezus, this website has a hell lot of visitors! Just read the comments and you’ll understand me..
I’m still waiting and hoping for a 2.8 iso loader or something in that direction. I was one of the first people in Europe who had a PSP (I ordered it from a Japanese website as soon as the PSP launched in Japan!), but I was always to damn curious, and so I downloaded new firmwares as they were released. I love Sony, and everything they do (well, not everything actually), but I’m so pissed that PSP games are so damn expensive for gameplay up to 13 hours!! That’s why I wanna try iso’s, and the buy official games, because I don’t trust most reviews..
Please bring out a 2.80 ISO laucher.
I realise this is completely offtopic, sorry 4 that.
@Zephyrus:
Thanks a lot for the pack, It really helped me, but you should delete some of the unessary files such as your ipod files and pictures before posting the pack on the internet.
Thanks a lot Zephyrus!! :D
it it possible to run newr iso/cso without using 271flash?
cuz that can brick my psp right?
and i heard its risky?
hi can some 1 post a guide on how to run iso`s plz
plz help—> how can i load ISOs on my 2.71(yes, i have TA-082)
@azeem&ToMeR: just get my pack, read the readme, install it, put your ISO in the ISO folder, and you’re ready to go.
@A Nonny Mouse: try not to replace the devhook there.. i was going to replace it, but then since this is Dark_AleX’s original inluded DevHook, I decided not to.. you may experience problems, or not, i’m not sure.
@Dark_AleX lover: just go get my pack and run it.. the flash is totally safe.. it just runs the 2.71 files from your PSP flash memory, so you don’t have to get the dumped 2.71 files..
@Happy 2.71 user: hey you’re welcomed! ^^ i included those extra files for you guys to play with or use, heh. ;P
where can i get your pack?
i have ta-082 will it work on it?
will it brick ta-082?
if it wil work –> u rule!
thnx Zephyrus but i have just 4 more question lol these will be the last:
in ur package u talk bout the XMB photo viewer is tht a homebrew or is it just like the tiff exploit where u goto photo then click on it ect
en r u sure this wont wreck my psp if i do it right?
also is there someway i can shrink my iso size cos ive only got a 512mb card?
lastly can u run multiple iso’s of one card
oh yh i nearly forgot r u 100% sure that u can load iso’s so just say there is a new game which needs 2.71 to run will it work using this and will some games not work propely?
this really is my last question rofl
@ToMeR: you can get my pack at comment #76, and it works on ta-082 and doesn’t brick it. it’s all thanks to Dark_AleX that I could make this noob-friendly pack, so.. he rules!
@Azeem: the XMB (stands for PSP interface) photo viewer isn’t a homebrew.. i just meant to direct you by going to the photo section of your PSP and select the HENC folder to run the tiff exploit. I’ve tested my own package on my own PSP, it doesn’t wreck your PSP.. and you can shrink your ISO by compressing them into CSO by using Maverick_PSP’s PSP ISO Shrink 2.32. And, yes, you can put in more than 1 ISO game in your PSP if your memstick is big enough. Also, to switch between your games in the 2.71 (after u run devhook), just press HOME+R trig. ^^
gosh..
hey ive followed all the steps in ur package zephyrus and when i goto umd select the iso i wanna play comes up when i click on it it just takes me back to the menu, what do i do? do i need to have a umd inside the tray to play my iso?
