# THIS IS PURE AWESOMENESS!!! — Chronos15 2009-06-05 04:08

FIRST!!

oh and. Is it possible to reboot the PSP and it still being in HEN-A??? If so then I'm really happy and might consider buying a PSP 3000. I have the PSP 2000 at the moment, bought this one at the release. I want the PSP 3000 for the mic and the good screen. Screw scanlines, I dont notice any of em.

# mm — emcp 2009-06-05 04:20

the brand new installation phrase

has me sceptical, theres not much other ways to install something than to install it,

different ways to load it

and different ways to execute the installation

and different ways to by pass security to install

# mm — emcp 2009-06-05 04:26

video also looks risky, just skipped pass parts the only thing i can see thats is proven different is the iso loader

but did he load an iso, also because of the high contrast of the screen and darkness, he also has the psp positioned near perfectly in the center of the screen , its not direct video output

and so hes obviously had time to set it up right

people only usually go into that detail if they need to trick the eyes, he could have a stand or something

where he uses HEN psp

then another homebrew enabled psp and swicth them during a dark screen

a more likely thing would be a already homebrew enabled psp loading chick-hen, him restarting the psp and then loading the iso through the installed m33 on the psp

# Wha...? — FlagBearer 2009-06-05 04:48

Why does the capacity of the memory stick change?

309 mb when loading ChickHEN, over 2000 mb when launching the installer. Also, why such a long pause on System Settings? Hiding a jump-cut?

Also, can it survive a full reboot, or loaded every time you do a fresh boot?

Anyway, if its real good for them.

# ... — cory1492 2009-06-05 05:24

emcp, of all the nitpicking I have seen... watch the video at 5:50, it's pretty clear it's using TV out or similar.

# FAKE!!! — iamshadow 2009-06-05 05:32

Its Fake

# I smell bull*****. — rrm74001 2009-06-05 05:38

This is bull*****.

This is either completely fake or it is just Custom Firmware Enabler.

And please, this is NOT a custom firmware. Since when did it take 2 seconds to flash a firmware?

# *sigh* — haxor 2009-06-05 05:52

theres so many fake points in this video

this is probably a psp 2000 running remote joy (thats why the video quality is so good) and its very easy to use the firmware spoofer plugin to change thier firmware to anything

tbh i could do an exact copy of this fake video in about 10 minutes

# Hahaha OWNED!!!!!!!! — L0NG 2009-06-05 05:52

ooouhahahahaha i cant berlieve it bwahaha shiiiit muthafaka damn megalol!!!!!!!! !

# ... — Chronos15 2009-06-05 05:57

No guys, this is legit. Trust me. Wanna bet for your PSP 3000???

# i hope this is legit... — skeez 2009-06-05 06:33

any news yet?

# I will belive — misthero 2009-06-05 06:35

when Dark Alex say it's true XD

# 1h+ — skeez 2009-06-05 06:41

people are saying in their forums that we should wait for about 1:20 hours.... i can't wait!

# Wait.... — GLO13AL_T3RROR 2009-06-05 06:56

Awsome job....but what if the psp gets bricked?? Anyway to recover it from a full brick??

# g — emcp 2009-06-05 07:04

so when can u come around 2 lick his hole

DA ~+ GOD

He just knows wat hes doing

# Probably Not — steve_723 2009-06-05 07:14

Scince the pandora doesent work on the 3000

# +\ — GLO13AL_T3RROR 2009-06-05 07:28

@steve_723 -- Yea exactly.

# I smell bull*****... — mikal_rokz 2009-06-05 07:54

for a start, he never ACTUALLY shows the system information AFTER he supposedly "installs" the 5.03 Gen-A. And as said above why does it only take 2 sec to flash the firmware? AND he never shows rebooting it... There is just soooo much I am not believing at the moment. And as said above by misthero DAX commented a while ago when chickHEN was released saying something about not wanting to make an ISO loader because he doesn't support privacy.

# anytime now... — skeez 2009-06-05 08:09

It's supposed to be released right now.

plz don't be a troll!

# i'm not buying it — zeratos 2009-06-05 08:18

the gen forums are well known for trolling all the PSP users with fake hopes and bad programs.

I won't believe it until i see it.

# 98% sure this is REAL — squintin 2009-06-05 08:24

I've witnessed the 3000 only Color Space option every time System Settings was accessed: 5.03, 5.03 ChickHEN R2, and 5.03 GEN-A [FULL]. The memory stick available space can be explained by a change in memory stick: one for easy ChickHEN (maybe there are cuts in the filming because of embarrasingly long time to flash chickHEN!?!) another for ISOs. PSPident (whatever the name is) also showed the PSP as a brite v1.0 (3000). apparently something was flashed to this psp that wasn't cfw enabler that allowed both ISOs and PSX to be played on the 3000. Also, it couldn't be a version spoof that created the name 5.03 Gen-a [full] because using that leaves a gap between your version and nickname/mac adress in the system info(in my experience) So stop the naysaying! (you will find out tonight if its true anyways...)

# or — GreySoul 2009-06-05 08:46

you can buy the PSP Go, don't you think?

# Perfect timing — apex05 2009-06-05 11:35

Be good if it is real, but right in the middle of E3 is the perfect time for a fake with all the gaming journos herded together where a faker could watch his work being discussed, but fingers crossed anyway.

# Wondering — Stiletto 2009-06-05 12:01

Well i wonder if they fixed the video clipping in this release. 5.02 GEN-A had some serious video clipping goin on. did it on both my phats and the slim...i then reflashed to good ol dax's 5.00 M33-6 ans baddabing...video clipping was non-existent. However I hope this is for real but like so many have commented it is really hard to believe. And as far as the new PSP-GO is concerned there is in no way i'll buy that. Think about how you are going to hold that on the bottom edge while using the keypads and stick while the weight of the unit is extended out away from your grip... make it real easy to drop or to control a game like socom when yur in the heat of battle. I think i'll stick with my slim and use time machine.

# LETS TEST IT! — skeez 2009-06-05 12:15

it's now available for download!

# Its out! — Owneddmuch 2009-06-05 12:21

GO NUTS.

# Well its out now QJ!!!! GET AN ARTICLE FFS — mikal_rokz 2009-06-05 13:02

Yea I would test it but my slim is currently in pieces lol.

# To all the whiners and doubters... — squintin 2009-06-05 13:16

Its out , its real, its running on my 3000.

# well... — 1ofamillion 2009-06-05 13:18

will this be a permanent cfw or does it go away after the psp restarts? I know hen does gl away after restart and i'm aware its not cfw, but i would like to know since im a newbie at this...

# it hangs on my TA-088v3 — Tado 2009-06-05 13:28

what a bummer!

# new article QJ! — skeez 2009-06-05 13:55

# f*u*c*k your mouth — L0NG 2009-06-05 18:00

# you smell more s-h-i-t — L0NG 2009-06-05 18:23

# no go — MMPSP 2009-06-06 02:09

PSP nogo I call it. What a pos!

# Dark — psp4fun 2009-06-06 04:40

Dark Alex is quiet for the moment, in the mean time all he can do is to keep writting the M33 code for the antique PSPs LOL. xD

but I still THANK DARK ALEX FOR THE WORK HE DONE IN THE PAST FOR THE UNBRICK AND CFW. :)

# You right!! — psp4fun 2009-06-06 09:23

So every one will need to wait until Dark Alex comes with a unbrick method.

# GEN-A — darthmaul16 2009-06-12 18:09
