After several weeks without official news, Total_Noob posted yesterday a new video of his Hen showing the VSH menu in action. The VSH menu is a feature that used to give access to basic functionality (choice of the ISO mode, etc…) on Custom Firmwares. In the case of unhackable motherboards, this menu is becoming a much more essential feature, as a “replacement” of the recovery menu. On TN’s video, we can see that his recovery menu has a bit more than what we were used to so far:
- CPU Clock (change the CPU clock in the XMB)
- CPU Clock Game (change the CPU clock in Games. It’s pretty cool to have a separate feature, you can then run full speed in games, and “normal speed” in the XMB, to save on the battery)
- Fake Region (This will probably allow EU/US owners to access features usually only useful in Japan such as oneseg – not that it is useful…- and hopefully to play all region UMD)
- Skip Gameboot (self explanatory)
- Hide Mac Address (A useless feature, except for paranoid people who think that Sony will waste their time hunting you down based on your Mac address in a youtube video)
- TN Network update (A system to bypass the automatic Sony update, and automatically get updates for the Hen by Wifi maybe?)
- Hide Pic1 & Pic0
- Spoof Version (display a different version number in the system info)
- Protect Flash 0 (A feature we mentioned earlier, to prevent programs from writing in the flash, this will hopefully be VERY helpful to prevent stupid people from installing a CFW on a 3000 or a pspgo…)
Looks pretty cool overall. Clearly Total_Noob is working on more than a Homebrew enabler here, this looks more and more like an LCFW rather than a “simple” Hen.
On the video you can see that the Hen currently runs on 6.20 through HBL. Total_Noob announced earlier that he would release this version first, and would focus on TN Hen 6.35 later on, but he also said yesterday on pspking.de that he would release a downgrade homebrew (for 6.20 owners who want to go to 5.03 maybe?)
Total_Noob also announced that the Hen for 6.20 will be released sometimes between December 20th and December 24th on the site pspgen.com
Can’t wait!!!

Wow when it comes to be a great hacker there’s nobody in my opinion better than Total Noob. This hen is going to be a giant record breaking hack. Total Noob might change the psp forever..

Little update: Plugins Support
Hi guys,
Today TN just add plugins support to his TN HEN. Most of the plugins will not work, because lots of plugins are desgined for 5.XX. He perhaps may update some plugins for us, like cxmb, dayviewer. The VshMenu now has a new option FAST SCROLL MUSIC (thanks to Torch who allows him to use it). -
@Chinmay
What source did get that imformation from? -
thanks your are god
-
Maybe he release a downgrade for 6.35 Users, so while he ports his 6.20 HEN to 6.35 we can use his HEN. This would be cool.
-
yolololo wololo tn’ just released an update he added plugin support
-
I think if TN tour China,he will not need pay anymore!
haha well done TN,well done WOLOLO,tanks very much
good work! -
hey guys total noob just said that there will be plugin support but most of wont work because there to old.. cxmb and some other will work
-
Thanks wololo and TN!!!!, but….a cuestion: i bougth everyvbodys golf last week to have hbl on my 6.31…there will be no realease for it?
Thks again
-
Hide Mac Address (A useless feature, except for paranoid people who think that Sony will waste their time hunting you down based on your Mac address in a youtube video)
Haha that made me laugh. I used to…. STILL laugh at people that say “YOU DIDN’T HID YOUR MAC ADDRESS!!!!~~!” In my head I’m like…. “So? Has anyone’s mac address been banned form Sony yet?”
-
hey i didn’t know 6.20 TN-A HEN had a facebook..
-
im really excited.. cant wait to play games on my psp 3k.. Ü
-
I just bought a psp 1k with OFW 6.31, you guys think i should wait for the HEN or just buy a pandora?
-
no no no make a pandora’s battery!!!!
-
-
your the man tnoob!!!can’t wait for the release of your hen. i wish i am good as you
-
Thanx Wololo you’re the greatest. 1 more question, which CFW do you recommend?
-
this will be a great birthday/christmas present.
-
this HEN is useless if it can’t load ISO. i only wanted ISO loading. homebrew sucks, low quality boring stuff. ISO is what everyone is waiting for. TN must enable ISO on his HEN or else HIS work sucks!
-
you know it is nice to know that there are people who agree with me. you should read my post. actually i wasn’t actually thinking about this the way you have put it, since i wasn’t actually thinking about playing iso;s. i really just wanted to play n64. but you are absolutely right, if it can’t enable isos, which it wont, read my post
http://wololo.net/wagic/tn-hen-6-20/comment-page-2/#comment-21842where i say that all tn has really achieved is that as long as your homebrew doesn’t crash/ psp runs out of ram, you won’t have to go through the whole annoying patapon song 35s minimum wait thing. this is a huge improvement on hbl i admit, but you are right , i now see, because if it does not bring about a huge improvement in the current compatiblility list, it is as i said in my post, a complete none event.

-
what about 6.31 users??
-
I thought downgrading was a no-go on new psp’s or was that only for installing custom firmware? If you can really downgrade why not just release the app for 6.35 through kernel exploit so that they can downgrade to 6.20 and use HEN. He wouldn’t have to port it to 6.35. Just saying, less work for TN.
-
I agree with the people saying a downgrade would be a good thing to release! So that people will get the HEN on the release date for Christmas on 6.20 and then have the optional upgrade to 6.35. But the downgrading is probably impossible or would take longer than it would to release 6.35, wouldn’t it?
-
man, the patapon song is freaking me out!
-
me too lol
-
-
wow total noob your the worlds greatest hacker even better than dark Alex because your making 6.20 tn hen then your making a down-grader for it. man i cant believe it but thanks for it your awesome and you too wololo for the information
-
Total noob is the second generation of Dark-alex
this will be history for psp hack for psp 3000, and Go
this is also the first time PSP 3000 downgrade (maybe)
i hope total noob not quit on psp scene.
-
i feel like i should be contributing to the work of TN. i don’t want to a mooch of someone else’s hard work anymore. ik i have no experience in hacking, especially psp’s, but if someone is willing to teach me, i’m a fast learner with a lot of free time and a love of games. anyone?
-
For TN’s Hen 6.20 does it work also on PSP GO 6.20??
-
aha,happy christmas,my fringd!Have a nice day!
-
Its 21st!! so hard to wait
-
Hi, I have a question regarding 6.35 firmware.
Basically, I want to log my PSP Go onto the PSN Servers to receive my three promotional games. From what I understand, those games become associated with your PSN account as if they were purchases. I wouldn’t mind waiting a bit more time for TN Hen 6.35 to release.Would it be prudent for me to update my Go to 6.35, given the fact that I don’t mind waiting for TN Hen 6.35? Or is there some detail I’m not aware of that I shouldn’t be updating my firmware to 6.35? I’m only asking because I’d want to get my promotional games before Sony goes ahead with a firmware 6.36.
-
i will say this hen is useless. Coz it dont have iso support. Hen are used for iso loading . But this bull shit wont support iso cso or psx . Total waste.
