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 While being already superseded by its successors, developers are always hard at work finding new ways to defeat its security and allow unsigned code to run on Sony's seventh-generation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

[grey72]

Nice to see the weeb disease come over to the PS3 community as well

 

[ZachariasBarnham]

I think it's awesome, and hilarious.

 

[Joshifer34]

So if I do this. And stick my suikoden V ps2 Disc in there will it run?

 

[Sunnyboy]

i have a PHAT, give me a error when i use the patch PyPS3checker-standalone-package
i got a nand
so i can`t path the firmware

 

[CMDreamer]

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)

This'll do it... Thank you!!!

 

[teamlocust]

Almost 90% of my ps3 games are working on multiman but none of the psone isos work?? any idea why??

 

[Jekkers]

How to completely remove it from system

 

[Berain666]

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 can still install packages as normal but you can also use Multiman and other Homebrew and have full file access to your PS3. It is still pretty new though so be prepared for the regular bugs and such that come with anything new like this. I get random freezes and black screens. Most of the games I have installed using MM have worked so far though

 

[Deleted_413010]

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

Yeah because the PS3 is older

 

[MochaMilk]

Nevermind what I said, I'm sleepy and derpy right now lol

 

[loon111]

How do i run the html?
Thats the bit i dont get, not done anything on ps3 before

Thanks

 

[Meepers55]

Holy crap! Iso support??

 

[raxadian]

Thanks for the upgrade.

 

[regar2314]

ps3 is still good for netflix

I have a hacked PHAT PS3 that can do, well, everything, but the problem is that, at the end of the day, it's a phat PS3 with all of the travel unfriendliness, not to mention the necessity for the fan to be louder than my tower fan. (I'm not exaggerating, btw) The Slim model, while better, doesn't have as much storage space as what I've put in my phat PS3 on the ones you can still get at a GameStop (I decided to re-tool an HDD from an old craptop).

Now, I've heard that the Super Slim is very shaky compared to the other two models, not just for homebrew, but for some other things as well. At the same time though, it's not only the smallest (and the most travel friendly) but if it can do both homebrew and run backups just fine, should I go with it or try my luck with getting a CFW-capable PS3 Slim?

 

[stanleyopar2000]

The value of some special edition slim consoles has probably just increased greatly...

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?

 

[raxadian]

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?
