Team Typhoon and group lead Davee have made good on their promise to deliver a properly working version of the universal homebrew enabler known as ChickHEN initially released yesterday For those in need of a refresher this enables homebrew support on firmware 5 03 for all PSP revisions including the PSP 3000 and TA 088 v3 equipped 2000 units
Despite being hampered by bugs the first time around R2 turns the tables with proper fully functional homebrew support Users are advised to stick to using 3 X kernel based applications as older legacy software based on the 1 5 kernel will have issues with running from within the HEN environment

How do I use it
Depending on your PSP Model you 39 re going to need a specific tiff image If you have a Phat 1000 PSP use the tiff image supplied in the quot PHAT quot folder and copy it to ms0 PSP PHOTO Else copy the tiff image in the quot SLIM quot folder to ms0 PSP PHOTO After you 39 ve copied the image to your PSP you can copy the h bin supplied to the root of the memorystick ms0 This should be sufficient for PSP to reboot into ChickHEN
Can it break my PSP
ChickHEN works differently to all previous HEN 39 s Instead of flashing to flash0 it resides entirely in RAM to prevent any damage to the system Sure enough you can run applications in HEN to flash stuff but I strongly recommend against it ChickHEN comes with no warrenty no guanantee and you run this software under your own responsibility Flashing onto your PSP WILL BRICK IT
As stated HEN comes with no warrenty and this software should not be used in conjunction with homebrew which can countervent any copyright laws
