5.03 ChickHEN R3 Coming Soon

[chrusti]

How about improving on stability rather then the features? And properly addressing what PSP this ChickHEN does and does not work on.. there are still many who can't even get this thing booted. I am one of them. I have been around the scene near the beginning and have ran many Hens & Downgraders etc. Even some of the old tiff exploits.. yet this one is bothersome.

I have tried the exploit in PICTURE & PHOTO
I have tried different memory cards.
I have tried formatting the memory cards first.
I have restored PSP to default settings.
The Firmware is 5.03.
I have tried different battery's.
I have tried NO UMD & with UMD.
I have tried with the exploit in a folder and outside of one.
I've tried those alleged 100% ChickHEN methods as well.

The PSP I am trying to load this HEN on is a Ceramic White Japanese PSP Slim 2000. It had 4.01 on it before I upgraded to 5.03, this PSP was brand new out of the box as well. It has the newest motherboard in it which can't be pandorized.

It also seems my Japanese PSP is not the only one having problems booting this HEN. At least the 2000 version.

Dude, I had the same problems as you.
And after I Set "Character set" to US(437). It worked just fine!

So you should try that ! :thumbup:

Have tried that as well lol. I first started to try it with my own wallpaper and theme.. then People were saying they had better success with default settings so then I started to use that. No luck.. I have done some googling and find that a lot of the people who don't have success with this have Slim 2000 jap psps.

So ya, I have come to the conclusion it doesn't work on PSP-2000 JAPAN TA088V3 mobos.

Yep, I wasn't able to run ChickHEN either
I tried most of the things you said and yeah it never worked.

I was trying it on a friend's PSP which was a PSP slim 2010 (that number is for region code, in this case Mexico). So, it doesn't work with Mexican TA088v3 motherboards.

I asked a guy who knows more about this stuff than me (yeah i can't believe it either ) and he told me there are Four different versions of the TA088v3 mobos and ChickHEN only works with one of them

They should be addressing the compatibility issues

Maybe it is as simple as that, I might give it a try
