      TIP FOR YOU GUYS…

      1—–If you use a Sony Memory Stick produo 1G or more G’S..You have to Reset the VHS and take out your memory from the psp.

      2—-if you use any other brand like LEXAR (The one i have 1G) The HEN Works fine..i don’t have to reset or take out anything.

      I hope this is fix….
      just keep this in mind if you want to buy a 32G Sony memory stick.

        First at all , I just want to thanks for the patapon exloit but 6.20 TN-A (HEN) does not work for me. I can see and change settings with the select button in VHS Menu, but when try to run gpSP or CPS2PSP or Guitar Star, the PSP crash and I have to load the HEN again. I’ll try the procedure from Jorge:
        First reset the VHS Menu then I take out my memmory stick pro duo 2GB, but anything that try tu run go crash.

        I must to say that I’ve have 6.20 OFW, but It has not the comic’s reader button (+). Any help please, I just want to try TN-A HEN.

      • Videl says:

        This is not true. There are some Sony Mark 2 MS that works with problem and there are some not Sony MS that need to do the trick to work properly.

    2. Storm2010 says:

      Ok wololo noone seriously has considered Sedna? Do you even think its compatible with TN-A or wat? Or can it be modified to become compatible?

    3. Jungleman's mom says:

      Yes son you are liar. And you are Totally Noob 🙂

    4. Waiting2Exhale says:

      Another vote for 6.31 downgrader and/or HEN.

      It’s hard to describe the feeling having to stand outside and watch the party going on inside. Even if TN or somebody could just give us a hint that something is coming.

      My BIGGEST fear however, is that sony will patch up ALL of the demos and holes for people who are already on 6.3xx and we are left with nothing.
      Many people are just purchasing their systems and their fw is already upgraded to 6.3x

      Particularly, PSP GO owners will be hurt the most. Like right now, PSP GO owners are the MOST happy by TN’s 6.20! It represents total FREEDOM.

      Please free the rest of us prisoners who are chained to 6.3x as well!

      Is the clock ticking for us?

    5. juan321 says:

      @wololo and total_noob
      thanks for the TN-A(HEN) its really great
      but when TN’s going to put news about the TN-B(HEN) that will be awesome if he can fix the problem with the memory in the psp 300x and 2010
      please put some news ^^

    6. Shugarl says:

      Does this work on PSP 3001 5.20 or do i have to update? if a have to update can any one kind enough to post a link and Thank You in advance!

    7. Pete says:

      Ummm, this may be a stupid question, but do I need a memory stick to do this? I bought a PSPgo just now, and I was under the impression I could use the internal memory to do this stuff, but for some reason, I can’t even run the official 6.20 firmware update (which is required for HEN) when I copy it to PSP/Game folder, it just shows up as corrupted data…help?

      • Pete says:

        Ahh, forget this. I browsed around for a bit, and apparently internal memory generally works better for this than a memory stick, so, I should be good. Still, no idea why my PSPgo can’t run the official 6.20 firmware update from PSP/Game…guess I’ll try loading up halfbyteloader and running the update as homebrew.

        • Pete says:

          Well, I can run HBL just fine, but I still just CANNOT run the damn 6.20 firmware update 😀

          Any ideas as to why?

          • clockdryve says:

            What is the firmware version on your PSP Go? What does it say when you try to update? You do know that the PSP Go uses a DIFFERENT update than a normal PSP right? Waiting for your responce.

            • clockdryve says:

              Here is a link to version 6.20 PSP Go update. Will need to be unzipped I’m sure. Remember to have your PSP fully charged (or near to it) or plugged in to complete the update. Let us know if you are successful.

            • clockdryve says:

              Ooops, here’s the link http://www.mediafire.com/?l96b6wm3b92dwzp This is PSP Go Firmware 6.20 (official) update.

            • Pete says:

              No luck, when I unzip it (or unrar, to be more specific) and copy the folder inside to PSP/Game, it shows up as “corrupt data” in XMB. The funny thing is, even my already modded PSP-2004 shows it as corrupt data…

              I’m running on firmware 5.70 (one of the very earliest PSPgo models I’m sure), and it’s the PAL version.

              Thanks for the help, though, I appreciate all of it, and it’s nice to see people are both active and friendly in here 🙂

            • Pete says:

              I got it now…I completely forgot I had to rename the the folder to “UPDATE” for the PSP to recognize it! 😀

              Anyway, thank you for your help!

    8. evil_iori says:

      @ TN well you kept your promise for the realease of HEN on xmas day
      but please do also keep your promise to us 6.3xx user that we can also expirience what you have given to those on 6.20 user

      we too need to be free

      thaks alot…

    9. clockdryve says:

      Then if you having all this problem….then your PSP is JUNK. Don’t go calling people names because of that. MOST other people are getting this to work…usually it is the “owner” of the PSP at fault here. Sometimes….it is because of the motherboard version of some PSP’s (PSP 3000 V4)?? Hey Jungleman…………why don’t you just UPDATE your PSP, and get out of here, Hmmmmmm

    10. intermax says:

      All works fine. Gyis.
      My PSP opened it full abilities. Thanks a lot!!!!

    11. clockdryve says:

      You just need to also install the “Prometheus Iso Loader” from another person. “Coleco Vision”…..Damn, you sure have been living in a CAVE. Get the Damn emulators (for nes,snes,gba,sega…..) and learn how to use them!! Probably wasting my time here.

    12. Rodin says:

      You’re a fool.

    13. Pete says:

      Question: Can we expect this development to lead into a recovery menu / bios eventually, or is something else required?

    14. iguX says:

      can some one help me…cause the patapon exploit works i pres the R button then i pres in the HBL the hen folder but the vsh menu went i pres select it dosent do anithing and it freezes….and the iso loader wen i pres the x it runs perfectly but then it shuts down..can some help me pliz….and another question thous the iso loader works in 5.50 gen-D3

      • clockdryve says:

        You dont need an ISO loader in 5.50 Gen-D3 Just put your ISO’s in the ISO folder on your ROOT of memory stick. If you don’t have a ISO folder there….just make one. The ROOT of memory stick is where the picture,psp,video,….folders are located.

    15. jotex says:

      Hi wololo this works very fine but the uo gppsp kai 3.4 crashes whit tv video in a blue square and black screen.

      But anyways thank for all!!!!!!!

    16. yellow says:

      hey everyone i try the openidea isoloader nad i canverted it from iso cso to eboot and i place it in the game folder and it appear i launch the game everything was working properly except for the exit button it freezes and crash i am going to wait unttil it improve i will stick to promethius isoloader until something better come out.

    17. mark@philippines says:

      @Wololo,

      Did you try the “Open Idea ISO Loader” created by Dridri? Is it more compatible rather than the one ISO Loader released by Liquidzigong? I found some information in the site “pspcustomfirmware.com” and I don’t have any idea if it’s more effective loader. Thanks. 😛

    18. Leskoog says:

      So i have a PSP 3001 slim silver, 6.20 and the installer works perfectly, i got the VSH menu thingy (when u press select) its working. But the issue im having is that when i launch any homebrew it turns the PSP off and goes back to 6.20, any suggestions?

    19. Gamer50519 says:

      U dont paste the rest of the files in the mp_root u put them in the root of the mem stick

    20. Gamer50519 says:

      Woops i responded to guy at top of the page

    21. RoxFox64 says:

      Yo, Wololo.
      If you’ve got your hands on the source to TN Hen, can you share it with select people?
      If not, can you make a new version of PSP Link that is implemented similar to Hen?
      Honestly, I’m not certain how TN Hen works, or what it fully does, but I am sure that it would be good start to being able to actively view the memory, and from there obtaining Access to PSX Eboots in the next build of Hen.

    22. PSPGO says:

      Is it also working for PSP Go with native 6.2 ?
      I got error msg after entered Patapon 2 Demo “System data not found. Unable to proceed with auto-save feature”
      All files have been placed successfully following by instruction.

      • Pete says:

        That’s not a problem, though. Let the game create the system data for you if you want to get rid of that error message, it has nothing to do with the actual HBL save file. Once you’re in the main menu, just load the HBL save file and follow the instructions 🙂

        • toBsucht says:

          I think he use the patched patapon2 so download this demo(unpatched) here.
          @pete could u run iso´s if u use intern memory if not or if other hb didn´t load u need tn-a @ extern ms :).

    23. junior says:

      this my psp no update to version 6.20 this error “SGT9000001” data is corrupted to update my psp is model 3001 help me please Total Noob.

    24. Total says:

      Will this work on my psp 3000?

    25. Dinner says:

      When I run TN Hen, after the 4th step, the game resets back to the PSP menu. How can I prevent that from happening? When I downloaded Hen, there was no folder called “Hen”, where can I get the Hen folder? I’m running a 3000 PSP with 6.1 firmware.

      • Rodin says:

        That’s SUPPOSED to happen. When it reverts to the XMB, press select. If a menu pops up, you’ve got the HEn working.

      • toBsucht says:

        Omg!!! 1st, u have to update 2 ofw6.20!!! Then try if hbl 109 is working. Try tn-a6.20(ms0:psp/game/tn-a!!! If it crash use the patched ver. – put patched tn-hen file (eboot) in the ms0:hbl/menu floder delete the old eboot.

    26. Sonykiller says:

      I WISHED I HAVE 6.31 HEN ALREADY! SORRY MY KEYBOARD IS MESSED UP AND KEEPS MAKING THE LETTERS SHIFT TO CAPITALS! SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    27. Sonykiller says:

    28. mavman42 says:

      • toBsucht says:

        try the pachted ver. and put hen.eboot to hbl/menu delete old eboot file.
        Or try an other ms if got problems with sandisk 512mb magicgate.

    29. cdeck says:

      Just successfully updated my new PSP Go v5.7 to 6.2 and installed the HEN and Prometheus ISO loader with no issues. Yay! My only issue is i had already downloaded/purchased a game and now i am getting a copy right protection error when i try to play it. How do i get around this or is there something i am doing wrong ??

    30. RCDMK says:

      Hi everyone.
      I just posted my success in loading homebrews without the removing MS trick.
      A guy named Bkinderr at psphacks posted his progress, I tested it and it works.

      I have a 3001 with the Virtuous Flame patch and a 8GB Sony MS Pro Duo, without any plugins but the Prometheus ISO Loader.

      Its simple and help to extend the life of your MS slot if you have the same problem as me with the crash when loading homebrews:
      – Load the HEN with the normal process (patapoon 2, etc);
      – When it cames back to XMB, do not remove your MS, just restart the VSH (press SELECT, then select the option on the VSH menu);
      – The PSP will shutdown and restart, pay attention to the MS light (red light to the left of the analog stick for me);
      – When it flashes for the first time, press the power switch Up to put in sleep mode (stand by);
      – Turn it on again to exit sleep mode and repreat the process when the XMB apears and the MS light flashes again just to be sure (I don’t know exactly what is the right time so try both – if someones have success with only one of these, post back plz);
      – Turn it on again and it should work;

      I’m just repassing this trick found by Bkinderr at psphacks with my personal experience.

    31. nightcraver says:

      hey guys i think i know what the problem was

      the seekctrlbufferpositive overide must be set to 1. i set mine to 0 as that’s supposed to be faster or something. i tried setting it back to one and my psp stopped crashing.
      i’m using the original tn hen a ( not the vflame patch) i’v found the patch is actually worse for 3001 than unpatched
      thanks wololo and tn, fanjita , moskito davee

      let me know if this works for anyone else

      also i think RCDMks method works for me too

      • RCDMK says:

        Hi.
        Was it crashing before you set it to zero? Or have you set it before TN Hen A?

        And BTW, i tested my method again and you just need to put the PSP in sleep mode (stand by) when you select restart vsh and the MS light flases for the first time. I’m using this method every time I start a new game, cause exiting a game (if the game doesn’t have an exit option) seams to screw things up and the workaround stop working.

        I think its something with reading or writing the configurations of the HEN to the MS. If TN or somebody can take a look at it, we will be more greatfull.

    32. Stepashko says:

      Hi. Is something new about 6.20 TN-B?

    33. Kaelodia says:

      Guys, I read the 6.20 HEN and was so amazed.. thumbs up to the creator of this hack, but I have PSPgo OFW6.31, how can I use the exploit?If I can’t can you help us(the ones that upgraded their FW). Please help us 😀

    34. Mr. Thomas says:

      Total_Noob I personally appreciate what you have done by releasing this hen. I gotta admit I was a little impatient but the hbl was holding me down until this hen came out. You gave me a reason to blow the dust off my psp and start using it again. Thanks. Big shout out to Liquidzigong too. 6.20 Hen + Prometheus Iso Loader + KHBBS + CWCHEAT= Awesomeness

    35. Blue says:

      I don’t know if anyone else has discovered this but I thought it was kinda neat and maybe it could prove useful or informative to other people. (I have no idea how, but I still hope)

      I got TN HEN 6.20 running on my PSPGo, and used Liquidzigong’s ISO loader to play a game, and fell asleep while playing (it was late). The PSPGo continued to run until it got low on battery power, then it automatically created a paused game data before shutting down.

      Naturally, when I powered the PSPGo back on, it was back to the OFW. Out of curiosity I tried to resume the paused game data, and it worked! Furthermore, when I exited the game, the PSPGo was back to using TN HEN 6.20, and the CXMB that I had also loaded.
