ChickHEN

ChickHEN is an homebrew enabler(HEN) for Official Firmware 5.03 made by homebrew team Team Typhoon. ChickHEN is originally made to allow PSP 3000 and PSP 2000 Slim users with the TA-088v3 motherboard to run homebrew, but also works on PSP 1000 and other PSP 2000 motherboards. ChickHEN makes use of the 5.03 libtiff exploit that is patched in firmware 5.50 and 5.51. The first version was released on May 06, 2009 and continues to be developed today. The latest announced version is revision 3 which provides several new additions.

Compatibility

• ChickHEN only works properly on Official Firmware 5.03. The TIFF exploit is blocked on 5.50 and above.

ISO and CSO support

There will never be built in supported for ISO and CSO backups in ChickHEN. This is because Team Typhoon does not endorse piracy. There has been other alternatives released to run backups via ChickHEN such as CFWEnabler by Becus25 and Xenogears and the recent 5.03 HEN-A firmware for PSP-3000 users.
