TN Hen: uploaded a more convenient package

Apologies to everyone for the timeouts that have been happening for the last couple days, my site is getting much more traffic than it can handle, and I’ve spent a good amount of the day tryin to patch things here and there.

Earlier today developer Virtuous Flame released  a quick patch for Total_Noob’s Hen, so that PSP3000 users could run the Hen. apparently this patch is not perfect as several psp3000 users reported that although the Hen starts correctly, running homebrews leads to a crash most of the time.

I have extensively tested Total_Noob’s work on my psp3000 in its early stages, so I am confident that it works on a psp3000, and whatever people are experiencing on this public release is most likely a tiny bug that will be fixed soon. Keep in mind that there are two types of PSP3000 (3g and 4g), and it is very likely that only one of the models (most likely 4g) is affected by the bug.

My PSP 3000 is now on 6.35 so I cannot test the Hen with this model anymore.

However I packaged an “easy to use” archive which contains everything you need to run the Hen (except the patapon demo). This package includes the unofficial patch by VFlame, and hopefully wil make life easier for many people. Here’s a video showing the Hen in action on a pspgo, running the upcoming release of Wagic (0.14) directly from the XMB.

Download the package on our TN page, here.

      I’m trying to install the hen in my girlfriend’s PSP, is a 3004 model too.
      I don’t know what’s happening, when i press the “R” Button, the game crash and the PSP shut down.

      I really don’t know what to do, someone with a PSP 3004 can help me here?

      @Loveya

      IF nothing is working for you, here are the quick steps

      1. Backup your Memory card data to PC and format the Memory Card.
      2. Install patapon2 with Hen
      3. Run the Hen and check if SNES & Picdrive works or not. If they work jump to step 4 otherwise download a new hen and test until both snes and pico works
      4. Now replace the Hen eboot with TN eboot
      5. Now test and report ,
      hope this will clear the things for you..all the best

        I tried it out earlier today, Formatting the MC then tested HBL rev 109 alone without HEN,
        it worked fine with pico drive.

        Once I put the TN eboot.pbp I am able to see the VSH menu by pressing select button, but it crashes when i start a Homebrew.

    Dear Wololo,

    Hey its ok the time outs isn’t gonna stop me for going in this website.

    Wololo, why did you update?? Did TN tell you anything about 6.35 hen/dowgrader that’s why you update??

    I also update to 6.35(please don’t say anything about me updating) because I miss my PSN games(armored core, medal of honor, metal gear peace walker, and etc). And the good part about it is I can still use homebrew using the new demo exploit :)

    Sheesh guys,
    With all due respect to TN, why dont you just use HBL until TN can iron out the kinks?
    I mean you can run 6.35 stuff almost flawlessly using it. Im on 6.31 PSP Go and HBL runs almost every emulator GREAT! Wololo’s HBL actually WORKS for now.
    This also takes some of the pressure off of TN until he can rectify the problems.

    Whether you use Virtuous Flame’s Patch or original, if you are getting the HEN to boot on your PSP 3k but not able to play certain homebrews, then there’s a bug in the HEN. But soon it will be fixed.

      I think you have to run prxlauncher or whatever it is called since there is no recovery menu on TN HEN.

          Don’t do this on a PSP 3000. If you have an older model of the PSP, test it on that.

  46. victor’s avatar

    @wololo could you ask T_N for a rough estimation of when the hen should be available for the newer FW? Like “in about 1 month or 6 weeks” or even just a confirmation that it will come out (I know he said he would release it sometime, but there were no updates on that, so I’m a bit unsure).

    And BTW nice work with the Hen! unfortunately I cannot test it :’(

    my 3004 (european) data code 8D works perfect with Vflames patched HEN ( i didnt test the older version though). no problem at running any homebrews.
    does not freeze in any situation, not even if you pull of the konami code in the XMB, which is so 1337 that it caused official firmwares to crash, but TN can handle it, cuz hes 1337 enough himself. im talking shit. but im excited.
    thanks.
