I recently purchased a PSP 3000 (it has 5.01 firmware). Could someone link me to a detailed tutorial of how to safely hack (or run homebrew/customfirmware) a PSP 3000? Thanks very much.

1st look at the stickies at the top of the psp page. There were guides. Specifically this one. Guide
2nd I used this guide and the one listed earlier this morning and it worked. Guide
3rd When you try to load ChickHEN R2 it most likely won't work the 1st time. It took me like 20 tries to get it to work. DON'T GIVE UP! Keep trying.

Thanks,
I know you can't flash, but is it safe to play PSX games and save them? Does it matter which region the PSX games are?

And more people than you hate it when others are impatient with new users who are trying to protect their un-repairable PSP's. Once it's bricked it's gone....

Although everyone of you keep saying you CAN'T brick your PSP with ChickHEN I beg to differ, as I did brick my friend's PSP-1000 using ChickHEN, and I was only able to fix it using Pandora. I tried for over 12 hours to keep rebooting it, even let the battery drain, but it would NOT come up. The green light would turn on with a black screen and stay there, it was essentially bricked, until Mr. Pandora came out to play with an MMS.

And I have to ask again, how and when in the process did you brick it? I don't doubt that you did, but I've never seen anyone else have that problem (just tons of posts saying it worked perfectly). I'm doing the same thing tomorrow, and so far my only concern was your thread about semi-bricking your friend's 1000.

ChickHen on it's own shouldn't be able to brick a PSP. It's the apps that run via ChickHen that will brick it. If for example you're running CFWEnabler or GEN-A or B then since you're flashing stuff to the PSP's flash0 of course you can brick....but ChickHen in and of itself won't touch flash0. Pyrofyr needs to elaborate what was happening when the brick occurred for his account to stand up as a warning.

1. update to 5.03 firmware
2. load chickhen r2
3. install CfwEnabler351

that's all there is to it, works fine on both psp-2000 with 8c motherboard and brand new psp-3000

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
