hi just downloaded the 5.03 gen and chickhen r2 files for my psp 3004 my problem is when i try to launch "LAUNCH-ME.EXE" a prompt appears that the application failed to initialize properly. any ideas how to fix this? thanks!
Okay, this might take a couple tries. I got the .NET framework, so the program works, but now the files aren't installing into the right directories, just to the desktop.
Okay, I got the GEN.PBP in X:PSP/GAME/GEN, and it comes up as corrupted data. I'm running HEN right now, so I"m wondering if I need to name the folder I put the .PBP into correctly.
i have a PSP-3k silver rachet and clank edition
this loads ISO/CSO?s PERFECTLY
k, now to help others who find it hard loading chickhen r2 and gen-a
A. how to load chickhen r2
dowload the chickhen r2 above and extract it with winrar assuming that you have put h.bin on ms0 and chickhenr2 folder on pictures folder located on root of MS
1. shut down your psp (not sleep mode, turn it OFF as in hold the power button up until the LCD turns black)
2. turn on your psp 3. go to settings > system settings > system information (you just have to view the system information)
it?ll be like this
(OFW)
System Software : 5.03
Nickname : XXXXX
Mac Address : XXXXXX
now this is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP
4.) GO TO PICTURES and OPEN CHICKHEN FOLDER and ?WAIT?
now go to your system information and you?ll see this
system software : 5.03 ChickHEN R2
Nickname : XXXXXX
Mac Address : XXXXX

FAQ :
where to put your ISO?s and CSO?s??
-on MS root ms0:/ and create a new folder named ISO
why does my PSP say UNOFFICIAL FIRMWARE DETECTED PLS POWEROFF PSP?
-you must have used chickhen R1 while flashing USE CHICKHEN R2
-you must have installed a custom gameboot
???follow-up question
?????what is a gameboot? ANSWER : it?s the intro when you load a game
SOLUTION : open your gameboot flasher and change it back to SONY?s gameboot (the original gameboot)
why does my LCD turn black after pressing O when i reboot after installing CFW?
- you probably missed or didn?t follow the steps above
does this work on my psp3k?
-yes it does. PROVIDING that you have 5.03 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
why do i need 5.03 OFW?
-because CHICKHEN R2 ONLY LOADS ON 5.03 OFW.
how about 5.50?
-no exploits has been released yet (that enables chickhen)
I would add that you have to repeat step 4.) several times before it finally works. you will notice that it works when it doesn't just turn off but shows you strange colors, then reboots automatically.
