![]() ![]() ChickHEN relied on the TIFF Kernel exploit “Eggsploit” released in April 2009. What is ChickHEN for the PSPĬhickHEN was a Homebrew ENabler (a non-permanent Custom Firmware) for the PSP Firmware 5.03, released by Team Typhoon (Bubbletune and Davee). Now, this appears to have been uploaded for historical reasons, and Davee has not stated he plans to work more on ChickHEN (also, there probably wouldn’t be any practical reason to). Not the actual HEN Loading the TIFF exploit on 5.03 would occasionally corrupt the video buffer for a few secondsĪ piece of PSP Hacking history was recently uploaded to github: PSP/Vita Developer Davee (of Infinity and Team molecule fame) has uploaded some “Work in progress” files from ChickHEN R3, the third release of then popular PSP Homebrew Enabler/CFW. The post PS Vita/PSP: ARK (PSP/ePSP Custom Firmware) 9.7r2 released appeared first on. Head over to the release section of the developer’s github to get the latest release. A ton of bug fixes and quality of life improvements.Plugins now work “per game” instead of “all games”.Possibility to replace XMB with a custom launcher.In the past year, among other things, ARK has added the following improvements (from the changelog): To be fair to ARK, we should list everything that’s been added in 2021/2022 since we haven’t talked of the project in a while, but… well that’s a lot. Minimalistic: only 5 files installed on PSP flash, CFW extensions are installed on memory stick. Plugin support for PSP games, PSX games and VSH (XMB), including per-game plugins.Ĭompatible with all PSP models on firmwares 6.60 and 6.61.Ĭompatible with all PS Vita models on firmware 2.10 and up. Inferno driver for ISO, CSO and ZSO games. It comes with impressive features (from the readme):Ĭore system for unsigned code execution on every PSP device based on 6.60 kernel. That’s where ARK comes into play, being a custom firmware that works for both the PSP and the PS Vita. And the same remains true on the PS Vita: As the Vita has a full fledged PSP emulator embedded, it is possible (and recommended!) to install a PSP Custom Firmware on the PS Vita. Running a Custom firmware on the PSP turned a decent console into an insane beast. It had a striving community, and a lot of developers pushed it to its limit, in particular with emulators that achieved incredible performance for those days (ok, I won’t pretend it’s the best way to play emulators nowadays though, but it still works great for older generation consoles such as the NES, SNES, GBA…). The PSP is one of the best homebrew devices. But the project has been back in activity (thanks to Acid_Snake) for about a year now, so it’s high time we fixed this mistake: ARK is back, it’s been improved, so it’s high time we talked about this new release. We haven’t talked about ARK, the Custom Firmware for PSP (compatible with both PSP/Vita) in several years. ![]()
