Hear that? That’s the sound of homebrew aficionados booting up their PSP-3000s and getting ready to finally run some homebrew on the thing. Why? Davee and Team Typhoon have finally released the 5.03 HEN, that’s why. Before you go download it, though, read this description from Davee first.
What does the ChickHEN do?
ChickHEN as a Homebrew Enabler that allows the execution of homebrew via the PSP XMB. Running via a vulnerability in the lib TIFF the launcher takes advantage of the system by performing a kernel exploit and rebooting into a homebrew enabled enviroment. The ChickHEN remains active until the PSP is fully reset in which case official firmware loads from the flash. ChickHEN unlike other HEN’s doesn’t touch the flash0 and resides completely in memory. The h.bin supplied in this download consists of a loader and systemex, which is a inversed order of systemctrl and rebootex
What ChickHEN does NOT do?
- Run ISO, CSO or any other form of UMD backup.
- Run PSX Games
- Touch The Flash of your beloved PSP
- Magically allow the use of Custom Firmware
- Load plugins
Make sure to read the readme file included in the download before you go messing about with the HEN too. You can discuss this release on the QJ.NET PSP Development forum.

*UPDATE*
Enjoying this golden nugget, eh? Well there seems to be a bit of a setback. As it turns out, this release is not capable of running any homebrew — just yet. But don’t worry, Team Typhoon and Davee will be releasing a new verstion tomorrow to fix the aforementioned issues.
Oh, goody! More ChickHEN to look forward to!
