The Playstation 3 is all but forgotten by console hackers. While being already superseded by its successors, developers are always hard at work finding new ways to defeat its security and allow unsigned code to run on Sony's seventh-generation console. Today, we've seen yet another milestone being set towards that goal: a HEN (Homebrew Enabler) compatible with every PS3 model out there has been released!

The curiously named PS3HENTAI has been anonymously developed and released (with full source code available). While it's not the same as running a full-blown CFW, it enables many other features which were otherwise not available using other previous exploits. The HEN is compatible with HFW 4.84 and reportedly works on all models, including the "unhackable" Slim and SuperSlim models, which previously only had access to the limited HAN exploits.

WHAT IS HEN:
HEN stands for Homebrew ENabler. it also consists of much more new functions relatively close to a CFW

HOW DOES IT WORK?:
Install HAN Enabler. Copy PS3HEN.BIN, HENTAI.pkg and stackframe.bin(READ:rename) to /dev_usb000 and run the HTML.
Once done, go to Package manager and install the HENTAI.pkg and reboot console
From now on to enable HEN simply use usb000 stackframe.bin and PS3HEN.BIN and run html...HEN ENABLED!

FEATURES OF V1.00:
Managunz backup manager works best for jb rips(ISO not supported)!
MULTIMAN works too but compatibility is not the same.
PSXISO Support is there!!!!
BD/DVD Region patches
BDISO support(stutter with xmb, use showtime)
BOOTPLUGINS WORK location "/dev_usb000/boot_plugins_nocobra.txt"(Use webman original one and not the mod one. also disable content scan on boot in settings)
Discless games work with disc icon!
Syscall 6 added
Syscall 7 added(address>0x8000000000352230) and disabled overwriting syscall 0->15
Syscall 15 added
Syscall 8 opcodes added for detection HEN and for advanced lv2 poke(read DEVELOPER SECTION)
Whole kernel memory RWX(execute kernel payload like this at high locations or hook syscalls etc)
PS3MAPI support for modding
Debug PKG install
Homebrew resigned for 3.55 and less support!
Homebrew Root Flags enabled!
HAN PKG insall support
PSN Connectivity
All process executed after HEN have rwx permissions!
HAN Enabled by default!

CFW PATCHES:
CFW settings
Retail/DEBUG pkg installation
Unlink to Delete
Remote play with PC
Download debug pkg on retail
Remote play ignores SFO check
Cinavia protection
videoplayer_plugin
DVD region check (not cracking RCE)
REBUG themed RCO & XML
AIO copy

NOTES:
if you get error 80010017 launching homebrew that simply means HEN failure, restart console and try again!(restart is important!)
also try deleting cache, browsing data, cookies and the likes from browser, make the exploit page the home page

DEVELOPERS:
#define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_IS_HEN 0x1337
using this if return 0x1337 its hen

ADVANCED POKE:syscall8(0x7003, addr, value);
this allows poking any location in lv2 memory BUT you have to restore original value before exiting to another application or exiting to xmb.USE WISELY OTHERWISE PS3 SHUTS DOWN

BDMIRROR:Managunz FTW!(please use Cobra payload because by default its MULTIMAN)
NOTE:mounting dev_blind will actually mount dev_flash. change files directly from dev_flash instead or hdd0/plugins/CFW/

Kernel Mode returns 0x53434500 on success to user webkit 0x8a000000. its good to measure HEN success. right now hen is already close to or is 100%

PS3HENTAI has originally been shared by notzecoxao on Twitter. A link to his Tweet, as well as a download link, can be found in the sources below.

UPDATE: PS3HEN 2.0 has been released, which adds support for loading ISO files, kernel plugins and PS3MAPI (as well as a few other features), removes PS3HENTAI PKG dependency and fixes several issues. It's strongly recommended to upgrade if you're running a previous version. An new source with an up-to-date installation/upgrade guide has been added below.

run "backups" ...etc.

What are notable homebrews you can only get on a fully hacked ps3?
any notable games or applications?
I have a 3DS,Wii,PS2 and PSP all of them fully hacked so im wondering if there is something aside ps3 games that i couldn´t get on those consoles
i wanted to get a ps3 just to play some ps3 games and maybe use it as a media player but you got me curious on the possibilities

 

[godreborn]

So as someone out of the loop on PS3 stuff, what are the benefits of this over a machine running HAN? Can I install PSN packages and not need to use a .rap?

you will probably always need a rap. even fixes require the rap for decryption. each of those is unique.

edit: unless fixes work, but you do need the rap to make one.

So does this mean we don’t have to deal with that shaky CFW2OFW stuff for game backups anymore?

Am I renaming one of the files? If so, what do I rename it to? Either way, I see three files. What HTML is there to run?​

 

[MiiJack]

The name was chosen perhaps to distract Sony's Ninjas

 

[Deleted User]

Nice release!

 

[sergiou87]

Great homebrew enabler, better name

 

[proffk]

There is more development in the ps3 scene than there is in ps4 scene.

For disc backups in the less accurate JB (GAMES folder) format, yep
The superior (if properly created) iso format isn't supported yet, of course you can convert between the two

 

[NoNAND]

So now we have to put hentai on our playstation? LEWD

never thought anyone could come up with such a lewd name for an exploit
lol

Nothing new or original, see the PS Vita's plugin system

Next up is the 3.70 version of the PS Vita. This is amazing that all PS3 models can be made to have custom frameware. It does say MULTIMAN works too but compatibility is not the same, does this mean that some games wont work? Or that you just install if differently? Or it is accessed differenently?

 

[CMDreamer]

Excellent.

So then withouth taking this new HEN into account, what would be the best PS3 model for having fully functional CFW on it?

I'm planning on getting one, but don't know much about it and the scene involved around it.

Thanks in advance.

Barely, outside of CFW stuff

to me multiman wont mount any games, so what i do is i back them up with multiman, then run the backup with managunz.

As always, any model without metldr2 (which indirectly means any model with minimum OS version 3.55 or lower, which indirectly means any Fat, slims 20xx and 21xx, and a limited number of 25xx)

 

[theinternetnomad]

Does this require an activation every time I hard reboot? I just want to be able to play some of my Playstation 2 disc's on my Ps3 slim without much hassle

 

[Justinde75]

Time to get some hentai onto my ps3

 

[thekarter104]

Finally! The impossible made possible. Now I can finally make a friend of mine happy. His only goal is to play Red Alert for the PSX lol and I couldn't get it to work with HAN. I already have the bin and cue, not sure if that will work.

You need to create a custom made PS1 Classics .pkg for to run PS1 games on your friend's Super Slim PS3, same with custom made PS2 Classics .pkg
