[UPDATE: v2 released] PS3 HEN (Homebrew Enabler) now available for all console revisions

ps3.jpeg

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 While being already superseded by its successors, developers are always hard at work finding new ways to defeat its security and allow unsigned code to run on Sony's seventh-generation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.

from the README said:
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.

So, if you have an arealdy hackable old model Slim, and you hacked it ages ago, what are the options to give it a slighty more up to date custom firmware?
Click to expand...
you can update straight to CFW 4.84 of your choice (Rebug being the one i'd highly recommend)

Too bad the HDMI port on my white limited edition one is shot so I have to use composite cables....

*cries silently*


So this basically allows me to pirate anything Sony except PS3 ISO's right?...I'm on a super slim so CFW options are a no go...I think

Edit..wait what's ManaGunZ?...Can I play PS3 backups with this?
Click to expand...
Yep! and yes you can play PS3 "backups" just normally fine with Managunz or IrisMan homebrew apps! :grog:

Edit: Not just that but you can also use GTA V, Skyrim, and Call of Duty mods on your Super Slim just perfectly fine and also run RetroArch PS3 (aka emulators in one app), DOSBox had a port to the PS3 too and many other homebrew games and apps (though honestly there wasn't that many to begin with...)

Can I rip my games to back them up for RPCS3? Not interested in piracy or other homebrew on this thing. Just want my discs stored on PC.

I've been using this on my Super Slim, awesome release! The biggest issue for me might be the occasion when HEN doesn't activate, but that can normally be resolved by a reboot. This will pretty much cover what most endusers want from their PS3: a way to run homebrew, emulators, and backup games either internally or through USB. It isn't a CFW, but it covers the bases many people are wanting to use a CFW PS3 for!

So what does CFW PS3's have over HEN v2 PS3's? Does most the homebrews work on HEN v2?
Click to expand...
Honestly the majority of homebrews that casuals will want anyways all works fine on HEN v2.0.0 so there's really no need for full CFW really.

Though if your the type of person that makes homebrew or messes with the custom firmware features like converting a Retail to Debug PS3 console, change IDPS to unban yourself, and some other heavy technical shenanigans then full CFW is definitely need full CFW like Rebug, Ferrox, Cobra, etc...

Why not use component cables since they can handle up to 1080p Just fine on most TVs, with a small amount of TVs maxing at 1080i.

Most good TVs have little or very little visual differences between HDMI and component.

This is actually what I use! It works decently and I cant tell the difference. Any help with the other PS3 Brew questions? I haven't had a hacked PS3 since my phat Rebug unit YLOD'd 4 years ago.

Here are the advantages to hen as of right now

-nearly full webman support,including ps3 and ps1 iso/folder format loading from both the hdd and usb,idps changing for unbaning the ps3 and instant ftp access once webman loads,the only thing missing is ps2 iso loading.You can mount them as iso's but they will come up as unsupported data on ofw.you can however still load them as .enc through the ps2 classics launcher rebug edition.

-retroarch support,no need for ps2 homebrew injection anymore for emulators.

-multiman support for both backup loading and usb to hdd transfering.

-mod menu support for running custom eboots and sprx files.

-everything else han offers,so the backups you injected using the han exploit with signed pkg's will still run when you enable hen instead of han.

Syscalls possibly turn on once hen is enabled online so be careful.You are safe to turn han on online still,but you might want to enable hen offline unless your willing to let your console get banned.There is also a option in webman to disable syscalls once you enable hen,Homebrew however will give a error code while syscalls are disabled.

Wait does this mean that I can play PS3 / PS2 (not ISO yet)/ PS1 backups on my once non-hackable Super Slim??

I've been trying all day with a Super Slim to get to install HAN, always fails to install (explore_plugin_full.rco, etc)
Extracted the HENv2.0 to FAT32 USB, Tried 2 USB pen drives, never get passed this. As for HEN, Exploit Initialization, never success. What am i doing wrong?
Installed HFW 4.84.2 Twice already.
