Install PSP Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B via ChickHEN R2

The release of Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-D gave hackable PSPs the ability to play PSP games that require 5.55 ofw and up without the need to patch the game.  This is now available to non-hackable PSPs via custom firmware 5.03 GEN-B with the same ability to decrypt games on the fly, allowing you to play games that PSPs that have 5.50 GEN-D can.  Interested yet?  Read on 😀

Update: This guide is sorely outdated.  If you please refer to this new guide instead : Install Signed 5.03 Hen + 5.03 GEN-C on your PSP.  It’s much simpler to follow and will help you install 5.03 GEN-C and the Prometheus-4 module.

Important Notes:

This guide is for non-hackable PSPs. (PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA-088v3).  If you’re not sure what PSP you have, please read: Is my PSP hackable?

On this guide, we will help install 5.03 GEN-B on your PSP. There is no danger of bricking your PSP unless you deviate from the instructions listed below. Unlike custom firmware for hackable PSPs, the danger of bricking your PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA-088v3 is quite real. If you’re not sure about a step, take the time to post a question.

Do note that if you have official firmware 5.50 or higher installed, stop now. You can’t install the chickHen hack which means you can’t install 5.03 GEN-B.

Requirements:

  • A PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with TA-088v3 motherboard.
  • A PSP with ChickHen R2 up and running
  • Download: 5.03 GEN-B
  • Back up your save files (so that if they get corrupted, you still have backups)

How to Install Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-B for ChickHEN

Before you proceed to installing custom firmware 5.03 GEN-C, you need to install ChickHen R2 on your PSP first. Just click the picture on the right to install ChickHen R2 and comeback here to finish the installation.

How to Install 5.03 GEN-B

  • Make sure your PSP has ChickHen R2 installed. You won’t be able to install 5.03 GEN-B without it.
  • Extract the 5.03 GEN-B files to your computer.
  • Copy the PSP folder to your PSP’s memory stick. (Yes, just drag the whole folder there)
  • Disconnect the PSP from USB
  • Run 5.03 GEN-B Updater from under Game on your PSP’s XMB
  • After all process is complete, press X. Your PSP will reboot.
  • Congratulations, you’ve just installed 5.03 GEN-B.

Important Note: If this is NOT the first time that you’ll be install 5.03 GEN-B (meaning you accidentally turned off your PSP and had to reload 5.03 GEN-A -> 5.03 GEN-B again), hold the L trigger (Left shoulder button) when running the updater.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Compatible with the PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 official firmware 5.03
  • Play backups of games REQUIRE PSP firmware above 5.03, including 6.xx Play backups of games REQUIRE PSP firmware above 5.03, including 6.xx
  • Reading UMD that REQUIRE firmware above 5.03, including 6.xx Playing UMD REQUIRE firmware above 5.03, including 6.xx
  • Reading UMD / ISO games protected against the custom firmware. Playing UMD / ISO games protected against the custom firmware.
  • Play PS1 games
  • GEN VSH MENU available (SELECT)
  • Recovery in VSH Recovery available in VSH available
  • Reading Reading Homebrews

KNOWN BUGS:

  • MGS demo refuses to run
  • VSH menu is mixed up

Troubleshooting:

If you experience problems like non-working games, or games that give the error “game could not be started” try the following:
Make sure your UMD mode is set to M33 driver

  • On your XMB, press select, to access the VSH menu
  • Select M33 driver for the UMD mode option as shown below:

Disable options

  • Go to the recovery menu
  • Go to advance setting > disable all options
  • Your games will be playable now

If you’re experiencing trouble (and yes, a lot of people are having trouble running ChickHen) try these:

    Same thing here, i had 5.03 gen-B updated, it worked great.
    Then i rebooted my psp 3000, i upgraded it again to 5.03 gen-A, and now when i try to run the 5.03 gen-B updater it only gives me this message: “now reboot your psp in cfw 5.03gen-b”
    then its still on 5.03 gen-A.

    Looks like the upgrade only works one time!

    Hi,there…
    i’m pretty new @ this stuff,i just got myself a PSP3000 and managed to install 5.03 Gen-B by following your instructions..

    My problem is that I would like to play PSX games on it and i found that Popsloader existed. Everywhere i looked for,they said it was only for M33 users.

    I’d like to know if Popsloader exist for Gen-B 5.03 anf if yes, how to install it such that the PSX eboots play fine.
    Thnx

    • sylv3rblade November 7, 2009 Reply

      Yep. Just be sure to look for POPs for GEN.

      • Mechanics November 8, 2009 Reply

        i did look for it but nearly most of all tutorials i’ve found involve turning off my psp and holding the R button for 5 seconds while rebooting…as far as i know, chickHEN R2 will be gone if i do so.
        If you know of a good tutorial,feel free to share the link. i’ve read cheema’s guide,it was a bit difficult to follow

        as i see that you’ve written some great tutorials, if it’s possible, i’d wish you write one SPECIFICALLY for gen-b and psp 3000 users on how to install popsloader, how it works and how to play PSX eboots on them taking into account that we,psp3000 users,cannot reboot our psp

        if that’s not possible without rebooting,i’ll cry 🙁

        • sylv3rblade November 8, 2009

          Err.. *sigh* I’ll write one when I get back home tonight. And I’ll upload the necessary files for you as well.

          a great thanks to you 🙂
          you’ll have my eternal gratitude :p

    another question, if i accidentaly restarted or turned off my psp, it would go back to ofw right? should i again run chickHEN r2 and install 5.03 gen-a before going to gen-b all over?

    • sylv3rblade November 7, 2009 Reply

      Yep. Though a lot of people seem to be having problems with getting GEN-A -> GEN-B to work. You should try ChickHen -> GEN-B if you encounter problems.

    I have 5.03 GEN-B (Full) installed and running. Only thing left is to get popsloder. I’ve searched around but all I’ve found are for m33/cfwe and 5.50 GEN. I was going to try the one for 5.50 GEN, but just want to make sure before I go and brick my PSP. I noticed you had an earlier post about writing up a guide with the necessary files. If you have done so already, may I please have the topic/link?

    is it possible if 5.03 GEN-B can’t play certain games that can be played at 5.50 GEN-D2?
    ’cause I’ve downloaded a japanese game and someone who uploaded it said she tested it on 5.50 GEN-D2 and it was working.
    but it’s not working on my 5.03 GEN-B.
    is there anyway I could make it run on 5.03 GEN-B?

    Im not sure if you have tried this but it worked for me, after updating from GEN-A to GEN-B I turned off the psp by mistake… to restore GEN-B you just have to load Chickhen and then to “activate” GEN-B you only have to go to XMB-GAME and choose INSTALLER-LOADER and when it asks you to flash the firmware just press O and it will load GEN-B without any problems

    and can i update my psp in 5.50gen a?

    reply me on my email adress my email is leo_lohano@yahoo.com

    • sylv3rblade November 29, 2009 Reply

      When you see the red screen before a PSP game loads, it means that it’s being decrypted to work for your firmware. Without, you need to manually patch games for it to work but with 5.03 GEN-B it’s automatically done for you.

      So yeah, it’s normal. Also v3, v2 and v1? Or are you referring to PSP-1000, -2000 and -3000 respectively?

    Wala na bang pagasa? :c pag 5.50 official firmware?

    “Do note that if you have official firmware 5.50 or higher installed, stop now. You can’t install the chickHen hack which means you can’t install 5.03 GEN-B.”

      If your PSP is slowing down, Press select on the PSP’s VSH menu and check if your clock speed is set to default or at least 233 MHz

    • sylv3rblade December 28, 2009 Reply

      Check your firmware version and post it here. Likely you’ve lost your CFW and have to reinstall again.

      Also, at what point did I say that you have to reformat and reset your PSP? o_O

    only one game is running from 5 games in my memory card
    tell me wht i do?
    and umd drive is also not reading umd

    • sylv3rblade December 29, 2009 Reply

      If you’re already using the M33 driver then I guess the problem lies with 5.03 GEN-C itself.
      I’ve checked around and there’s quite a lot of problems with it (relating to UMD games and older ISOs specifically). I’ll keep looking for a work around but it seems the likely solution is to downgrade to 5.03 GEN-B :(.
      Please specify the games (ISO and UMD) that are failing to work on 5.03 GEN-C.

  76. MAHESH December 29, 2009 Reply

    i mean set on m33 drive

  77. MAHESH December 29, 2009 Reply

    hi sylv first of all happy new year

      Make sure na tumatakbo ung ChickHen bago mo iinstall ung 5.03 GEN-B. Otherwise di talaga tatakbo yan.

    any advice??

    • sylv3rblade June 10, 2010 Reply

      Just copying the files won’t do anything. You need to enable the plugin.
      quoting from another site:

      1) In case you are already using plugins, just paste this: “ms0:/KHBBS/KHBBS_patch.prx 1” (without quotation marks) into your seplugins/game.txt. Otherwise just copy “seplugins” folder from this release to the root directory of your Memory Stick.

      2) Copy “KHBBS” folder to the root directory of your Memory Stick.

    i already did this
    the plugin are installed

    • sylv3rblade June 13, 2010 Reply

      Where did you download your copies? I’m thinking they are’nt patched properly which is why they didn’t work out of the box and even with the plugin (currently uploading a fully patched version)

  94. MAHESH June 13, 2010 Reply

    tell me from where to download this game ?
    u thnk which will work?

      It could’ve been fixed but for a different firmware version (primarily 5.50 GEN-D3). Still uploading, was busy for the past few days 🙁
