Just copy the files to psp/PHOTO. Create the dir if doesn0t exist and be sure to use a 512 or 1 1 GB card. I tried several times witha 8 GB card and i didn’t work. Read on the forum and when i used a 512 MB card it worked like a charm.
P.S. Don0t forget to put a UMD inside when loading the backup

If the highlight of your life, day – WHATEVER is getting the first post in a comments section then you are one lonely pathetic miserable a-hole!!! (And this is not directed at any ONE person, it’s directed at all you first post woot nobs!)

Back on topic. VERY good work Team Typhoon, you’s got there in the end ;)

Also big thanks to MaTiAz for the original discovery of the exploit and for sharing his findings :D

Why you should need ISOs when you have homebrew?

Dude, That dones’t mean hes a pirate (although likely) it could mean that he likes to back up or use his memory card for faster speeds

This is a psp hacking site, shithead. Not everyone exclusively plays homebrew games (your life must really suck if you do). Thats why people use isos and emulators instead.

to auto star yes but to run normal no

 
Comment by anon
2009-05-06 21:45:14

actually it doesnt. irshell uses a plugin for the autoboot. you can still launch it from the game menu without the plugin. i havent tried irshell with this hen yet, im just saying you dont need the plugin on m33. seems like its possible to me.

dont listen to the last guy. he meant well (i think) but he worded it incorrectly. this exploit works on 5.03 official firmware (ALL PSPs). do not update beyond this point or it will not work.

Comment by Heath
2009-05-09 19:01:54

Bobby, why are you against dark alex’s cfw. It is the matter how to use cfw’s. Try it if you want to see the results.In terms of piracy it is not piracy to create iso and cso but distributing iso and cso is the one that is called piracy. And about homebrews they are used to push the psp to its limits and know the other capabilities of it that has been restricted by Sony.

Try cfw’s and homebrews. Well you might discover something about your psp.

First Off I love this website.
Second I was doing research on this awesome chickhen thing and other are saying iso cso and custom firmware don’t work I have a psp-300 with firmware 4.20 with this latest chickhen can i do cso and custom firmware. Thanks for your help and stop hatin on dark_alex he pretty much open the gates to custom firmwares back in the day and you guys know it

 
Comment by Moecana
2009-05-07 01:09:29

I found my answer thanks but I was wondering with this exploit will it be possible later to play iso and install custom firmwares or is that still really far away?

Comment by hm..
2009-05-07 01:21:10

time will tell.. i hope so. better then nothing right now. i remember back in the day when alex made a iso cso loader to load with hen.. it dident permanently flash so u had to keep runing it to play iso.. i cant rememnber what it was called.

I wonder if Fastloader would work? Sure, it would only work for older ISO’s but its something. Or does this HEN not support kernal mode?

Comment by kada34
2009-05-07 05:07:09

I wonder this HEN has kernel mode.I think fastloder wont work coz its written for 1.50.Maybe with IRShell + LEDAv2 may work.I dont have 3000 coz I’m still waiting for full hack.

 
 
Comment by dimy93
2009-05-07 03:20:27

You know that this HEN is based on CFW modules so DAX is still the main reason to have this HEN right now
Devhook for 2.71 don’t work with this HEN but I think that’s because the kernel issue -it’s writen on 1.50 based kernel but I was wondering can s.o try to build it for 5.00 firmware-there is src in DAx’s site I think

 
Comment by rob
2009-05-07 03:22:08

i’ll get a 3000 when a iso/cso loader is released. homebrew capabilities is the shit but not enough for me to go out and drop $170. or maybe i will..I got into the scene when Devhook was not being used as much with dax pumping out custom firmware, before m33 was around

Hell, yeah, great job! I think, in the furure, when PSP-7000 (or whatever which one) will come out, later they’ll hack the shit out of that too:D

No surpise, everithing’s hackable, just a matter of time. But I still rely on my 2000, because of the lack of iso/cso support. And in fact the 1000’s still doin their job:) So the hackers – on the other hand:D

Applause for them!

 
Comment by Shaeineh
2009-05-07 11:36:17

There is a vicious circle about hacking. Let’s see:

I really a respect the hacker’s “job”, and if I would have money I’ll donate them really often!

But wait! If I would have money, I could buy UMDs, so games! If I would have UMD-s, I may probably wouldn’t need all the hacking stuff.

And If I wouldn’t need them, I wouldn’t support the hackers. :D

Let’s draw a lesson:
Poor stay poor, Rich stay rich…

I have 15 PSP games that I bought. Zero stolen. All of them in CSO format now. I use CFW for fast loading times and the plugins. I buy all my games. You know, not everyone is a pirate. (Even music I buy, unless it’s lamo radio music)

EVERYONE READ THE COMMENT ABOVE.cfw dosent automatically mean downloaded iso/cso games its way more convenient to store games on a mem stick then carrying a bunch of umd’s.

and to ANYONE hating on DA FUCK YOU

Comment by Theother
2009-05-10 17:11:27

Honestly speaking, its not even worth buying more then 6 retail psp games. I dont even waste my time pirating the rest. I cant even remember when I was playing a retail game the last time (think it was GTA VCS) For me the psp would be dead without homebrew capabilities. So stop flaming on legends like D_A who is one of the ppl who made everything possible

Comment by powercrazy
2009-05-08 07:37:26

You’re either not running OFW 5.03 – check to make sure you have that installed first. It is a pre-requisite to running this.

If you do already have 5.03, remember, don’t try to open the TIFF image itself. If you do, the PSP will indeed turn off. Just put all the images in the zip (gifs and tiff) in the /PSP/PHOTO dir then on the psp goto the Photo->memory card section and stay there while the thumbnails load. Its the loading of the thumbnails that triggers the exploit.

At least, thats what works for me.

Fantastic. It’s infuriating that Youtube doesn’t work on the PSP’s browser. When I used to have a fat I loved playing PSX games on it, so I hope that features coming up soon!

I’ve also had a game stolen along with my phat so I think it’s morally right to pirate that game. :D

powercrazy still the HEN does not work..i open only in the memory stick portion of the PHOTO..My PSP sucks!!!

Comment by powercrazy
2009-05-09 09:17:13

Killua – follow these steps exactly:
1) copy the .bin file to the root of the memory stick
2) copy ALL of the files under the SLIM folder (or FAT depending on your PSP) of the RAR to the PHOTO dir of the memory stick and I mean ALL – You need all the images… So after you are done, the structure on your mem stick should look like:
/h.bin
/PSP/PHOTO/ChickHENa.gif
/PSP/PHOTO/ChickHENb.gif
/PSP/PHOTO/ChickHENc.gif
/PSP/PHOTO/ChickHENd.gif
/PSP/PHOTO/slim.tiff
/PSP/PHOTO/Thumbs.db

Even doing this I’ve found getting it to work somewhat unstable. What actually works for me as well (and seems more stable) is to move (not copy) all of the images under the PICTURE folder on the root of the stick – I.e.
/PICTURE/ChickHENa.gif
/PICTURE/ChickHENb.gif
/PICTURE/ChickHENc.gif
/PICTURE/ChickHENd.gif
/PICTURE/slim.tiff
/PICTURE/Thumbs.db
Don’t have the pics in both places. Try them either in the first location or in the second. the h.bin is always in the root though. Let me know how that goes….

Comment by DSpider
2009-05-09 10:48:35

Thumbs.db is automaticaly created by Windows (function which I usualy disable from the Folder Options). I don’t think it’s even read by the PSP.

is this real for PSP 3000 series?
I can’t run on my PSP, it’s hang, then turn off automatically. After I open, it’s nothing. It nevern been run, or can’t run.

My PSP is 3006, Firmware is 5.03.

My PSP can run the Pong game via Griftship’s UMD that loaded from this web site early.

But, I can’t use an exploit from this TIFF file in this forum? It’s always hang.

I try this on my psp-2000, the 1st time, it works and changes to version 5.03 Chick Hen R2 and GBA games can be played, but when try to run Ultimate psptube high memory mode, it hangs and turns off automatically.
When i turn it on again, it goes back to version 5.03 and it can’t run any homebrew games anymore. I suspect this exploit only works once.
Anyone out there have any ideas? Thanks!

after u turn off the psp, it goes back to normal, and i dont think psptube works, try the regular one without high memory mod

Hey guys. For those of you who are having trouble with getting this to work (aka freeze then shut down) as I have had I think I may have found a way to help. I tried everything everyone had suggested on every youtube video and every sites forum posts. Finally I decided to try something based off what someone said in a forum (sorry I can’t remember who the poster or which site it was on). Granted I had tried there suggestion but it failed for me as well so I modified it a bit. Anyways to the point.

1. Back-up all your game data and whatever you want to keep then format the memstick.

2. Add the h.bin file to the root of the memstick.

3. copy and paste the CHICKHEN folder to psp/photo folder (if photo folder is not present just create it, make sure to use all caps.)

4. ok here is where the trick comes in. make a copy of one of the chickHEN pictures inside the chickHEN folder and pasted it someplace (desktop should be fine) and rename it chickHENe. Continue this step each time changing the letter at the end f, g, then h. Really you could probably name these images anything you want but to keep with the scheme I just used the name scheme that was already in place.

5. at this point you should have chickHENe thru chickHENh on your desktop. Now copy those 4 new images into the chickHEN folder inside psp/photo.

6. disconnect your usb cable.

7. Restore psp default settings.

8. Go to pictures folder on psp and click on the chickHEN folder. As the thumbnails start to appear scroll down to the bottom and wait for the slim.tiff image to load and BAM you should get pretty colors and your psp should restart into HEN mode.

Alright sorry that was so long but was trying to be very clear to anyone new to this or those who may not understand. Any questions just ask and hopefully this works for you. It did for me after everything else.

Killua – the one other thing I could add. I noticed that I would have times where the hack would work perfectly time and time again and then other times where it would just reset my PSP. I finally noticed what I think is a pattern. Folks may call BS on this, at least on my PSP the HEN will never work if I only have one bar or less on my battery indicator. I.e. Once I charged up my battery again to at least the mid point, the HEN was stable again. Again, call BS if you want, but it seems to be a stable pattern at least on my device. (brand new silver 3000 slim here).

No Brett – no matter what PSP you own, you MUST be running 5.03 to use this HEN.

Interesting… You might wanna try some googling before you go throwing those PLZ’z around all willy nilly. And yes you can play homebrew games with it. I been playing N64 all week (Mario 64 ftw!) just google up “firmware upgrade 5.03″ or something. Dark_Alex, lets make babies.

Well… I tried everyone’s tips on here and still didn’t really have any luck… So I started moving files around between the PSP\PHOTO folder and the \PICTURES Folder. For me it finally worked when I put all 8 photos in the PSP\PHOTO\ChickHEN folder so it has the 4 original .gif’s from the original chickhen r2 d/l. Then I put the 4 renamed .gif’s into the same folder. So you should have 8 .gif’s named ChickHEN(a-h).gif and then the slim.tiff file. Oh, I also of course had to put the h.bin file in the root mem stick folder. Then I turned on the PSP and went to the photo –> Memory stick icon. Then went to the ChickHEN folder Then I slowly scrolled down to each icon and waited for it to show the file name. As soon as it loaded the name I went down to the next one. When I got to the last icon, which was the slim.tiff file it did some crazy pixelated colors and then rebooted. I just kinda thought that it messed up again but when I checked the system info it said 5.03 ChickHEN R2 ! ! ! S W E E T ! ! ! I have a 3001 Slim PSP. This is just what worked for me. If you’re having trouble try it and see. If it works cool if not, keep messing with it, it works.

HELL no a PSP 2000 isn’t bad
Just so you guys know
After you get the chick hen running on ANY psp you can use a new software i forget what its called and it enables ISO/CSO playing – for whatever you need it, i don’t know… Pirating, backups, or faster running what ever you call it – its possible

I tried almost anything almost giving up but thanks for the method in copying more image gif within the folder

It work on my PSP-2006 with v3 board OFW 5.03
As mention above just make additional copy of the gif file from a-h thats 8 all gif image file, then CAREFULLY FOLLOW the image while its opening in preview mode one by one down to bottom, a trigger will happen 100%

I think the restore default settings also helps

In my case I use the ChickHENa.gif for the e f g h

Better yet, instead of doing a bunch of random shit to get it working, type “chickhen mod” in google and use that. It works 100% on 2000s.

I had PSP 3000 and 2gb MS. Chickhen worked great.

When I then got 16GB MS and successfully installed Chickhen. When I start a game now I always get:
“the game could not be started” (8002031).

What can I do to make it work.
