Homebrew Enabler on the PSP-3000: User & Kernel Mode (Video Only)
greg | January 13, 2009
Watch or skip through this unnecessarily long video of Homebrew Enabler, enabling both user and kernel mode homebrew on the PSP-3000 [EUR GripShift] –
Ok, so again… No release. Not yet anyway… The Google (French to English) translation reads something close to this –
This version of HEN-A (Homebrew Enabler) enables user and kernel mode homebrew, including those that emulate the UMD, better known as ISO loaders. Installing and using a custom firmware isn’t going to happen yet — you know, because of the pre-IPL business… And sadly, for the moment, the pspgen team isn’t going to release their work in hopes to prevent Sony from patching the exploit so quickly. With that said, the development team is looking for more loopholes before it’s made public.
Whether it’s pspgen or someone else, we’ll likely have something usable real soon. So find yourself a copy of the GripShift UMD and do not update should Sony spring a new firmware version upon us.

woohoo! 1st!
time to buy gripshift!
i think i will buy gripshift soon so that i can maybe hack psp 3000’s then sell them while i can haha
Wow thats great,they are halfway done on hacking psp-3000.pspgen Rulez XD XD
everybody who has a psp-3000 should buy gripshift,while you still can.XD XD
Let the good times roll.
video isnt loading for me.. is it not loading for anyone else?
Awesome, I should consider getting a 3000. BTW, I’m really annoyed with him saying “Uh..” along with croaking his voice when he does it X_X UGH So annoying!!!
even if CFW cant be installed, they could create some kind of DEVHook, no?
It would be enough until they find how to bypass the IPL thing (which may take a while)
He talks to much in the begining, so whats the use of opening the recovery menu in it if you cant do much with it without cfw.
HEN or the Homebrew Enabler is enough to run homebrew apps and certain ISO, just like devhook and just like the old days. No need to to wait for CFW if it isn’t available yet. But that would be awesome and easy for our lives once cfw would be introduced for the PSP-3000, they just need to bypass the IPL.
whats a IPL and how will they and when will it be done? and dose any other game becides gripshift work?
Gripshift is the only one with the exploit, but once you have HEN running, I imagine you could play any ISO.
yeah but GripShift is the catalyst…you cant do shit without the catalyst.
eeeeahhhhhhhhhh….
Hi :), Which version of Gripshift i should buy ? Because I am From Europe-Slovakia and i need this game for future downgrade. Second question : This method will enable Iso emulation ? Thx for reply.
I found solution. http://www.pspgen.com/gripshift-euro-bientot-compatible-avec-faille-actualite-184907.html
But i don’t understand. :D I think that Euro vsersion is support. Please feedback. Sorry my english is bad :D
God bless these nerds. This news brought a tear to my eye.
HEN doesn’t allow you to use your own images with POPS, does it? That’s my favourite thing about hacked PSP
wow semi-hacked on dissidia console, thats hot
this is a great news but without the ipl thingy cf is imposible, and if they bypass the preipl pandoras wrath will reign again.. so why buy gripshift..
Daymnnnnn i need a copy of american gripshift now ><…. this is gonna be tough
will this work on psp 2003?
Will this work for the slims with the pandora proof mobos? in theory it should right?
no, thats an entirely different os, because the new ones have built in mics. Sucks for you! bought the old version lol
But why no cfw? When Homebrew runs you could start 5.00 M-33-4 Update or not? I don’t understand.
(Sorry for my English)
Drakulix
i can’t understand how does it happen. by just inserting the UMD… he managed to make the FW to a 5.02 Hen-a….
but still hahaha!!! =) it works fine!!! hope this is a 1 very big step for them to come much more closer on hacking a 3000 very soon….
this is nice!!! Keep on Going….
i’ll pray for you guys…. =) haha!!
the unhackable has been hacked
Nothing is unhackable. I remember when the Dreamcast was “unhackable.” Ha!
wow great job pspgen! to all the fuck heads out there that said it prob wouldnt be hacked 4 a long time fuck u!
hackers will always win againsed sony, idc wat anyone says. its not that sony is smarter then us, its that its their own product & they built it so they kno more about it at the start then hackers do.
ill prob wait till this is gonna fully be hacked, i gotta say GREAT WORK tho :)
Wonderful, simply wonderful
Thanks DEV TEAM
SUCK IT SONY YOU’LL NEVER WIN
ONLY THING LEFT IS THEIR PS3
PS3 has already been hacked. People are using it to create cheap super computers running custom linux programs.
the ps3 has not been hacked(ive been waiting) you can install other operating systems on the ps3 its an option! and cheap super computers lol okay but it doesnt use any of the ps3 cell so its a pretty shitty super computer if thats what you mean
I dunno, but couldnt you just use this in filer to (with a CFW psp) copy an image of your flash onto your memstick and then transfer it to the flash of the 3000?
joek from Team C+D (Dark_Alex’s former team) – He developed the kernel exploit for this experience.
GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
HellDashX – He plagiarized joek’s exploit (meaning he did not give credit do joek, so PSPGEN is claiming the glory all to themselves).
it work for TA-088V3??
Those asking if it works for the TA-088v3 (locked down mobo on the PSP-2000’s) – it should, because this exploit supposedly works on any official or custom firmware version running.
If you want to find out for yourself, just load the Sparta / Gripshift Hello World proof on concept onto your PSP and run it.
so just making sure. the 3k is not hacked with m33 and stuff like that yet right. so does this just get you homebrew?
LoLz What Up With The Zebra’z =D Good Job Though I don’t Have A PSP 3000 But I’m Going to Buy Gripshift While I Can (Just In Case)
Also What PSP Is That Cause All I C In The US Is Ratchet And Clank Size Matters In Black And Silver (And All The 2000’s)
FUK YEA!!!
A START TO A HACKABLE PSP-3000
GOOD LUCK!!!
god dammit these people talk too much BULLSHIT and dont straight to the point. but im still grateful.
