HEN

A HEN (Homebrew Enabler) is a piece of software that allows you to run homebrew games and backups on your Sony PSP. The goal is similar to Half-Byte Loader but a HEN usually has more compatibility than HBL, as it has access to the Kernel functions.

downloads





The Hen you need to download depends on the firmware of your PSP, and is independent of the model (it works on all models, 1000, 2000, 3000, and PSP Go). Click on the firmware installed on your PSP to be redirected to the appropriate download page:

If you have a firmware below 6.20, we suggest you upgrade to 6.20 or higher, and install one of the above.

Still confused? Then CFW For dummies will help you!

      create a folder named “UPDATE” inside the ms0/PSP/GAME folder and paste the EBOOT.pbp of the update (OFW update) inside the update folder. After that try accessing the update from the PSP–>Game–>Memory Stick–>[The update should be displayed]

    how does iso to eboot work instructions or video please

  5. mister munch’s avatar

    response to “how does iso to eboot work instructions or video please”

    1. get your desired iso or cso game and put it on the desktop

    2. download “iso to eboot” and put on desktop next to the iso/cso game

    3. make a new folder on the desktop next to the “iso to eboot” program

    4. put both the iso/cso game AND the “iso to eboot” program INSIDE the folder.

    5. open the folder withe the iso/cso and the “iso to eboot” program

    6. run “iso to eboot” a box should come up saying

    Convert isos to Eboots
    (This MUST be run in the same directory as your PSP isos)
    (Converts CSO, DAX, and JSO to ISO first)

    7.this is where I got stuck at first … just click the words that i typed above

    it should start patching the iso/cso and when its finished it will say

    CONGRATULATIONS! and some other words (i forget what they are but it

    doesn’t matter) then open up that folder where you put your iso/cso game
    and the program there will be folders you didn’t put there open the “PSP” folder and inside that open the “GAME” folder

    there is your eboot just put it in the PSP/GAME folder of your psp and run it from memory stick

  11. Celesion’s avatar

    @Master Sasuke Uchia: First and foremost that would be piracy and I’m almost positive that this site does not condone such activities. So please do not post on forum threads or news pages with requests for free Licensed games be it ISO or otherwise.

    On a side note, info on the possible updates for TN 6.20HEN-E have been released on the net already. One detail is noted as a “surprise”, so I’m guessing it’s either ISO loading or Legacy Home-brew Compatibility. TN did state that he doesn’t want to add ISO loading due to copyright issues so I guess that’s out of the picture but I do dream for Legacy Loading as I’d love to use “Notepad for PSP” on my Go. I recently switched back to my Slimline PSP running 5.00M33-6.

  24. mister munch’s avatar

    you know what i don’t understand?
    i don’t understand why sony even tries to fight back against hackers!
    and here’s why …

    1. hackers (like Total_n00b) will just find another exploit and hack it.

    2. wouldn’t the sales go up for the psp if it can do all that it can if its hacked?

    the only reason i see why they would want to stop hackers is piracy!
    but they could have an app where UMD are converted to eboots. right?

    and a psp 3001 black, and i wanted to know if the 2001 buttons would work on the 3001 if i switched them (via taking the face-plates off and switching the buttons) and also… would 2001 and 3001 button work on a 1000?

    what is going on with you guys? people have all ways looked for your product and greatly thank you for your determination of making HEN but realy you guys are starting to act like sony keeping people from fully enjoying the capability of the psp and look what happened to them for being selfish basterds they where hacked and the records of there user might have been severly abused by the hackers. and now sony will be in the hole for years to come maybe even ending PlayStation all together if nothing changes. Now it is true you guys have the right to release or not to but remember people are determind and will go far to get what they want. cause people do have connections and every time you do post some thing some where is like placing a foot print of where you are in the real world just remember that. THIS NOT A THREAT!

    If you read this and do know Total N00b or so called HacKmaN (which i believe is licking off Total N00b abilitys) send this to them
    From: Gen. TJ,Gen1TJ Yes this in me and i believe that there will always be a light at the end of the tunnal

      We can only guess that they won’t miss the chance to take part in psp genesis competition, but they don’t want the pro team to gathe their success. That’s our light in the tunnel. the other thing is that some guys were trying to break into his compuer as far as i heard, and that would make sense.

    After couple of weeks 6.38 HEN is Now Finished and Ready to Be Online around the Psp World.Release Date: Next Week

    as so many people say he’s fake it’s better to abstain from installing it until we check out the user’s opinions.

      you must replace the motherboard or the memory (better replace the whole mainboard, cuz it’s safer and cheaper. it will cost you about 100$

        other says that I need to send it to sony and sony repair it and update it in the latest FW. is it real?

        1. gzyboz’s avatar

          if it happened while updating from OFW to OFW (official firmware) like for example from 6.37 to 6.38 then they should repair i for free (if you have a valid warranty)

          but if you were trying to hack your psp you lost the warranty and all you can do is to delete all the hacks and isos from your psp and say something like “I was updating the firmware when the screen turned black and it doesn’t want to turn on ;) (DO NOT say things like “i accidentally removed the battery when updating”). you must pretend to be a complete noob that has no idea about psp hacking and you didn’t wan to hack your psp. don’t even say it’s “bricked”,or they might not belive you (say it doesn’t want to turn on).

          sorry if I messed it up.

          Reply

  43. Gen. TJ’s avatar

    No but if you would have read CFW for dummies you would have found out that the all or most psp 300X are not hack able because of the security feature on the new mother boards and that is why we depend on HEN and the makers of it, to fully enjoy the performance of the psp world
    SO NooB CAN YOU PLEASE RELEASE THE NEW HEN FOR 6.37 SO I CAN ENJOY PLAYING MH3F WITH MY FRIENDS AGAIN
