Board up your windows, ready your bunker, and be sure to equip your PSP — there’s a homebrew shit storm comin’ in hot. That’s right, with a maximum of 34 knots (or higher) is Team Typhoon with ChickHEN R2 — the Homebrew Enabler. And this time it ain’t no joke; R2 actually enables homebrew, for real.

ChickHEN R2 changes:

• Now supports homebrew
• Homebrew Support enhanced
• Tiff image blocking in HEN (displays unsupported)

Update: Ok, try this… It’s an unofficial fix from maibrithahn; re-download ChickHEN below. Apparently an official fix will be issued tomorrow.

Update: Well… I just tried it, and funny enough, it doesn’t work… You’re dumped into the HEN environment; however, homebrew is not enabled. After further investigation it seems I’m not the only one experiencing this. Stay tuned.

The slump is over PSP-3000 owners — Team Typhoon has released their much-anticipated Homebrew Enabler — ChickHEN R1.

ChickHEN takes advantage of MaTiAz’s discovered TIFF exploit enabling all styles of homebrew to be executed on PSP-1000, 2000, and now 3000 models. When ChickHEN is initialized it performs a kernel exploit and reboots the PSP into HEN mode; ChickHEN remains resident in memory allowing you to launch your homebrew from the XMB like it ain’t no thang.

What ChickHEN does NOT do:

• Run ISO, CSO, or any other form of UMD backup
• Run PSX Games
• Touch The Flash
• Allow the use of Custom Firmware
• Load plugins

How to use ChickHEN:

1. First off use the supplied TIFF image and place it in the PSP>PHOTO Directory.
2. Copy h.bin over to the MS ROOT and safely remove device.
3. Scroll over to the PHOTO icon on the XMB and click the ChickHEN folder and wait. (This will not work the first time, you may have to just use a method of loading that works for you but this is what we have found most efficient).
4. If all goes well the screen should blank out and flash green showing that the HEN is loaded and all is well.
5. Wait for your PSP to reboot and check your PSP’s system software. It should now display: “5.03 ChickHEN”.
6. Scroll on over to GAME and enjoy some Homebrew!
