So, I already have: 5.03 ChickHEN R2. But it won't allow me to play CSO or ISO's. Could I put this over my chickHEN? Also, what to fill in at PSP Unit drive at the launch-me.exe?

When i started LAUNCH-me.exe it sayed "The application Failed to initialize properly *0xc0000135). Click in OK to terminate the application."Shoud be a system problem? I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.

CFWEnabler also didn't work. After I Instal it and try to start a game it say ,,This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted"

ChickHEN R2 doesn't allow for CSO or ISO play, you must use the GEN-A custom firmware from this thread. ChickHEN R2 is step one in a two-step process in allowing your PSP to play cso/iso backups and homebrew code.

When you plug your PSP into your computer, your computer assigns a drive letter to it just like if you had plugged in a USB flash drive or something. On my computer it is assigned the letter G.

Open My Computer when you've plugged in your psp and started the USB connection to see what drive letter your computer has assigned to it and make sure you ONLY ENTER THE LETTER of the drive in launch-me.exe, DO NOT include the ':'.

Example: If PSP is assigned drive letter G, simply enter the letter G, nothing else.

I think you need to update your .net framework. Try this:

I just wanted to thank bdonk for this link.

ChickHEN was easy to get going - files were easy to copy to card - just wasn't able to get the system to restart after installed firmware - downloaded file in his your link now everything loads great

Cheers

Note that the launch-me.exe step must be done while ChickHEN R2 is currently running on your PSP. You should get a folder named 'files' in the root of your memory stick. That 'Installer' folder is also normal. If you have ChickHEN R2 running, all you do is go to games and run Installer-Loader and follow the on-screen instructions.

Also note that when you click Start in Launch-Me.exe it will say "done" almost instantly but it takes a few seconds for all the files to be written to your memory stick so just watch for the Memory Stick activity light to stop flashing before you end the usb connection.

Step 01 - Download this: http://downloads.exophase.com/pub/506

Step 02 - Download this: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=214906

Step 03 - Get ChickHEN R2 running on your PSP (may take multiple tries, it doesn't always work the first time...or the second...or third...)

Step 04 - Enable USB connection between your computer and your PSP (Within ChickHEN R2)

Step 05 - Run 'launch-me.exe' from the 5.03 GEN-A folder

Step 06 - Check PSP 2000 or PSP 3000, depending on what model you have and enter the drive letter of your PSP (Windows Explorer will show you what letter this is. Enter ONLY the letter, nothing else.) and click 'start'

Step 07 - Do not disconnect your PSP from your computer until the Memory Stick Activity light has stopped blinking.

Step 08 - Navigate to Games -> Launcher-Installer on your PSP and run it. Press L or R to flash the CFW and then press O to reboot.

Step 09 - You're done. Remember not to fully shut down your PSP if you can help it; just put the unit in standby and the CFW will be loaded indefinitely.
