Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A for HEN out! - Custom Firmware for PSP 3000 Owners

FireHeaD12 and Diogalesu,
When you connect your PSP it will be assigned a drive letter. You need to enter that drive letter into the "PSP Unite Drive:" box before you hit the start button. If that does not work then you can manually copy the files to the PSP (I cant remember exactly where you put them right now).

I put the files in the GAME folder manually.

though now I am having another problem relating to when I start the installer, it states that it can't find the systemcontrol files or something like that

Diogalesu,
Are you sure you are in HEN mode? When your psp restarts check it's firmware version, it should say something like 5.03 ChickHEN. If you are there then you sould be able to run the firmware installer. Hit the right bumper, when it says successful hit O to reboot. Firmware version should have changed to 5.03GEN-A.

It is in HEN mode, I can start the installer up but it gets an error relating to the system control files (says: cannot find systemcntrl_02g. not found)

thats what I am trying to get at

I think the proublem is that the files should not be in the game folder. They should be in a folder called "files" in the root of your PSP. Try that.

Thanks hey, I'll see what I can do from there

EDIT: ok, now when I try to restart the PSP to get in to custom firmware mode, it just shuts down and goes back to the offical firmware.

I should have mentioned this eariler too, but I am using a PSP 2001, with a TA-V88 v1/v2 mother board, if this helps any

I had the problem with the screen going black with 5.03 GEN, I fixed it by backing up save files on mem card, then formatting mem card. I also reset my 3001 psp to factory default settings, then turned off umd autoload and umd cache. after that, I tried to install 5.03GEN again and it worked perfectly. I just bought my PSP a month ago, and was bummed at first about the lack of hacks. But that is all better now :thumbup:
