PSP 3000 running 'Custom Firmware' [ HEN ]

[gamefreak199101]

Alright, here's something to blow you away. Custom firmware on PSP 3000.Custom firmware on PSP3000?? Yes, it's not a joke. The guys over at PSP GEN have done it.

They are reporting about a PSP 3000 running HEN custom firmware through the recently found GripShift savegame exploit.

Here's the video for it



Thanks to Hellcat and EvilSeph for the news

For those unfamiliar with it:

“HEN” is short for “Homebrew ENabler” and is basically the core of every custom firmware, it’s that part that makes all the patches and other magic required to launch homebrew on the PSP.
The big difference of HEN to a custom firmware, as it’s known these days, is that nothing gets written into the PSPs internal flash but everything happens in memory only - this also means it’s gone by the next coldboot and needs to be reapplied through the exploit, but that’s a small price to pay, most will say.
Although the creators of this achievement say it won’t be released to the public until at least a second kernel exploit has been found (due to Sony patching it as soon as the files are released), this definitely puts up high hopes for things to come on the PSP 3000.

This is such great news! Hen is pretty good even if it's not CFW.
I can't wait to see how far they take this.

I'll bet by tomorrow this game will be costing more than the psp itself

Heh, I went out and bought a used copy of Gripshift the day the original hack was released. $7.99 at Gamestop.

I can't wait to see what the slow-to-buy suckers end up paying for it in a week or two on eBay

So a HEN loader for the 3000 series PSP huh? Nice, reminds me of the time when 2.71 HEN came out, got even better when the downgrader came along.
