The 3000 series is finally feeling the love. It wasn’t too long ago that “Hello World” was successfully exploited onto the 3000. Now just a short time later, the third full generation of the PSP is headed towards a wonderful hombrew-enabled future. ChickHEN is here for the PSP 3000.

Developer, Davee, of Team Typhoon, has released the exploit and directions for this seemingly easy-to-do hack. The steps and a handy-dandy download link are provided below for those of you who thought that you were doomed on the “Unhackable T88v3 and TA-090 motherboards”.

Before I roll out with the good stuff, however, it’s important to make known a few of the downsides of this Homebrew Enabler. ChickHEN currently cannot make .ISO or .CSO backups run. This applies for Playstation 1 titles too. You will also not be given access to flash memory either, so custom XMB’s are not going to be readily available (yet). Plugins also won’t be able to be loaded as a result of this, obviously, and that goes for custom firmware too. As of yet, no custom firmware is released for the PSP 3000, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. With breakthroughs like ChickHEN, developers are questioning just exactly how far they can go.

To run ChickHEN, follow these steps:

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.
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!
