Install PSP Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-C via ChickHEN R2
Posted by 
December 16, 2009 •
True to their word, the GEN Team has now released Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-C. It’s an update to their existing line of 5.03-based firmwares (5.03 GEN-A and 5.03 GEN-B) that will allow you to play games that require upto 6.10 without running the decrypter to patch the game.
Update: This guide is sorely outdated.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.
Important UPDATE: If you are having trouble playing the latest PSP Games, you may want to install the Prometheus-4 module or use the ISO Tool Patching guide. OR you may want to update to 5.50 GEN-D3 🙂
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-C 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-C.
Requirements:
- A PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with TA-088v3 motherboard.
- A PSP with ChickHen R2 up and running
- Download: 5.03 GEN-C
- Back up your save files (so that if they get corrupted, you still have backups)
How to Install Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-C 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.

- After all process is complete, press X. Your PSP will reboot.
- Congratulations, you’ve just installed 5.03 GEN-C.
Important Note: If this is NOT the first time that you’ll be install 5.03 GEN-C (meaning you accidentally turned off your PSP and had to reload 5.03 GEN-C again), hold the L trigger (Left shoulder button) when running the updater.
IMPORTANT NOTES:

After installing 5.03 GEN-C, why not treat yourself to some free PSP games? 😀
in order to play cso/iso on a psp 3000, u nid a modifier/upgrade/downgrade etc. so i did that chickhenr2/5.03gen-a so i can play iso/cso games but im not allowed to play umd and the battery is not allowed to be totally drained, or else the modifier would? be deleted. and i would repeat the install-the-modifier process again which takes a LOT of time and could probably damage the system. is there any modifier available for psp 3000 where in i could play iso/cso/umd & the battery cud be drained?
Instead of repeating the same question over and over again on several of the blog’s post, why not make the question clearer? If you’re really worried about draining your battery while playing via UMD’s, why not connect your PSP to a charger? Using the UMD drains battery an all models of PSPs that support them.
If this is my first time installing GEN CFW into my PSP 2k (TA-088v3), do I need to install GEN-A & then GEN-B 1st before installing GEN-C?
just install gen a.,no harm;>
i wan’t a naruto shippuden 3 englsh version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think i know where you can get the english version of that game..is it Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising?
no.,its the new released game naruto.,english version will come soon.,maybe march.,cant w8
It will take time to come out and problem is the story wil only be till the hidan kakuzu ark.In the japanese 1 its till pain.
is it possible to translate japan version games to english version just like what you did in monster hunter freedom portable 2nd G?
I think it’s possible since most games place all texts under a specific localization folder but you need someone to do the translation for you. That’s the hard part.
i thought there’s a program that you can use to translate all japan version games to english…hay..how sad..well anyway, i would like to thank you for all of your guides about psp and for helping me as well..
Hi, I have a PSP 2000 with the motherboard TA-088v3, but I have upgraded its firmware to 6.00
Is there any way for me to change it to 5.03 GEN-A?
Obviously NOOOO!!!
i have three questions. 😀
im using a 5.03 m33-6. can i upgrade automatically to 5.03 gen-6?
im also using chickhen mod3.or so it says on the photo folder.do i have to replace this with chickhen R2?
and this sounds stupid, but im just really scared of doing “reprogramming” to my psp.the box on my psp says that its a model PSP-3001 XBP / 98898. does this qualify as a PSP-3000?
replies are much appreciated. 😀
hey der!
if it is too hard for you to run chicken r2 on psp 3000, then it it the easy way.
copy the Chicken Folder to Photo Folder
X:\PHOTO\Chickhen
then copy ur enabler to Game Folder (CFW Enabler, Updater Such as Gen A, Gen B Or Gen C Or Firmware Updates)
X:\PSP\GAME\CFWEnabler
Reconnect your Psp from Computer
open Chicken Folder from Xmb (photo->Chickhen and waits)
As Expected, it will fail.
Restore default settings then turn umd auto start and catche to OFF without the memory stick. Turn Off your PSP by hitting the OFF Button within 5 to 7 seconds. Remove battery then put it back. turn your PSP then open again Chickhen Folder. hope it helps
After turning off your PSP, put back the memory stick then turn it on. load the chicken r2 by opening the chicken folder. 😀
Mr. sylv3rblade,
Is it true that if you keep re-installing any cfw (say this 5.03 gen-c) every time you lose it (say every hard reset or battery drain) it could damage your system? Thanks.
No. Running CFW over ChickHen is safe.
Means I cannot install Gen-C without installing Gen-A + Gen-B 1st?
i have already install 5.03 GEN C, but i cant run Yu gi oh TAF force 4 or the Peace Walker Demo.
my PSP was 5.03 GEN A before GEN C, is this a problem?
Or 5.03 cant run Yu gi oh tag force 4? (you know then new one)
Odd.. Yugioh and the Peace Walker Demo have been reported to be working on 5.03 GEN-C. Did you check your PSP if it does say 5.03 GEN-C as it’s firmware version?
Yeah, it says 5.03 GEN-C(full)
That’s odd. I’ll do a round up and see what’s wrong.
Ok, thank you, i will be waiting
uhhm, i have to use CFWEnabler 3.60, do i have to Uninstall it after install GEN C?
Hoping someday, there will be a permanent/stable custom firmware for psp 3000 🙁
@ sylv3rblade
Hey!
I’m a first time psp hacker.got a 3000 and downloaded ChickHEN R2 and 5.03 GEN-C
As I was using your tut, I noticed that Gen-C was being referred to as an updater.
Do I have to install prior versions of GEN then?
how to play ps1 games on a psp 3000 with 5.03 gen c and how to switch back to 5.03 mhu, thanks for answers
For PSX games: http://atmaxplorer.com/2009/11/install-popsloader-on-your-psp/
And why would you want to downgrade to 5.03 mhu?
i’m just curious if i can go back to 5.03 mhu. does the popsloader for 5.03 gen a and 5.03 gen b is compatible for 5.03 gen c? is it safe?
i want to downgrade because in my 5.03 mhu i can play digimon world now in 5.03 gen c, my psp reboot when the ps1 logo shows up.
I’m not sure if this can be considered as a bug or it’s another new feature from GEN team. After I installed 5.03 GEN-C, I can’t seem to turn off my psp anymore (sliding the power switch up and hold it for 3 seconds). Instead, it will just enter sleep mode.
Not that it’s a bad thing (since sometimes I accidentally slide the switch while playing), but will it cause any problems in the long run?
It’s an added safety feature by the GEN Team (forgot to mention it :D)
I see. Thanks for the reply 🙂
thanks man:)
hi, uhm i just bought a psp 3000 it has 5.03 MHU i was wondering if i put the 5.03 GEN-C files in the game folder do i have to delete the other generator? i am worried so i couldnt try installing the new one coz when i purchased it they said i shouldn’t upgrade it coz it will not read downloaded iso/cso. please reply ^_^ thanks
how can i play resident evil 3 on my psp 3000 5.03 gen c? i really wanted to play this. answers are much appreciated and by the way advance merry christmas to all. for steph, it is all right beacuse my psp is alright after I ugraded from 5.03 mhu to 5.03 gen c
@steph > the vendor of your psp 3000 says that you must not upgrade it right? But you can modify it! What they want to say it that you must not go to higher Ofw (e.g 5.50, 5.50 ,,,,), just stack up at 5.03 becoz the only hacks in psp3000 was working on 5.03. it means to say that you can use gen such as 5.03 gen a, gen b and gen c Full. Hope it helps! 😀
got a little question, How to uninstall any gen CFW on my PSP 3000? my enabler is 3.60. I cant see “uninstall” option. Im currently on 5.03 gen b. What i mean is totally uninstall, not disabling it. i want to uninstall anything before i install gen c so lesser chance of bricking due to cloggong of ram if there are any currupted or its memory will collapse 😀 Thanks!
You don’t need to uninstall 5.03 GEN-B to upgrade to 5.03 GEN-C. And no, that won’t happen (memory collapse or clogging of ram)
“clogging” I mean, bad keyboard 😀
“corrupted” i mean, bad keyboaRD agaiN! 😀
I still don’t know if I can update my PSP from 5.03 m33-6 directly to 5.03 gen-C. Can I?
Thanks!
Well. still want to know how to uninstall any CFW. anyone can Helps? thanks.
i have 5.03 gen-c(full). I want to completely remove all CFWs. Just want to shift to 5.50 GEN-D3 final. i lately learned that my psp is completely hackable coz its TA TA-088 v2 motherboard & NOT v3.. what methods do i use? Thanks! =)
If you’re 100% sure that your PSP is not TA-088 v2 then just download the XGEN updater on this post and install.
http://atmaxplorer.com/2009/12/install-psp-custom-firmware-5-50-gen-d3/
hmm… so i dont need to downgrade to 5.00 m33-6 by using flash rflash160, just use xgen updater v2 and install 5.50 gen d3-full. BTW, im 101% sure that i have TA-088 V2, i already applied PSPident_04 Many Thanks! =)
Yep. The XGEN updater will flash the CFW into your PSP’s flash0 so there’s really no need to downgrade 😀
you know wat i did, jst to be really sure, i contacted hacker friend of mine , he directly installed gen-d3(full) final to my psp w/o using xgen updater (after checking if its compatible- using hellcats recovery)… to my surprise, but it WORKED! LoL, he even placed all customized themes like xbox, etc..
Thanks again Sylv3rblade =)…. more power!
Congrats 😀 Enjoy your fully hacked PSP 😀

http://atmaxplorer.com/2009/11/install-popsloader-on-your-psp/
where can i find the firmware version? in my system i had gen A but my games doesnt work then i tried to install gen C and the system is gen C already yet all the games cant start. help me please.
I successfully loaded chicHEN r2 in my psp. Now should i directly install this gen c? or should i do gen 1st den gen b den gen c? plz help!!!!
Please help,, How to uninstall CFW on my PSP 3000 with currently 5.03 gen B.
If you want to uninstall 5.03 GEN-B, here’s what you need to do:
>Power off the PSP. (full shutdown)
>Start and run HEN
>Keep R-trigger pressed and press X to run 5.03 MHU via (http://atmaxplorer.com/2009/06/install-custom-firmware-enabler-via-chickhen/)
>The MHU menu will have the “uninstall” option
>Run “uninstall” and follow prompts

>Bye Bye Gen-B
Hey!!! sylv3rblade!!!! i have chickhen r2 loaded. Now i want gen c. Should i directly instol this? or should i 1st instol gen a then gen b then gen c? bcoz dis is gen c UPDATER right?
You can directly install 5.03 GEN-C. If you’re worried, you can still go with 5.03 GEN-A then upgrade to 5.03 GEN-C.
OK thanks 2 more questions. Now if i install this and then after a few days change my memory card shoudd i install it like a 1st or 2nd time? And in 2nd installation i dont have to flash the files right? I just press O (circle) at the black screen right?
If you change memory cards, you just need to copy the installation files on your memory stick again (just in case you need to reinstall), Yep, just press circle.
Installation files meaning the PSP folder?
Yep.
So no more L or R flash stuff ryt?
Alright i sumhow installed it the 1st time. Problem is i tried playing soul calibur broken destiny and it says “the game couldnt be started”. Y???? it says in the system info “5.03 gen c (full)”
Makes sure you change the UMD mode to M33 driver.
where can i find the firmware version? in my system i had gen A but my games doesnt work then i tried to install gen C and the system is gen C already yet all the games cant start. help me please.
Have you tried setting the UMD mode to M33 driver as below?
Thanks sylv3rblade!!!
Please Help my psp slim & lite (PSP 2000 v2) wont open … After upgrading to 5.50 GEN B using chickHEN R2 huhu
You’ve bricked your PSP. 5.50 GEN-B can’t be installed on your PSP (you probably have a PSP-2000 with TA-088v3 motherboard).
🙁 so i need to unbrick? is there any instruction or any application that will solve my problem.. help please .. yes bcoz its version 2.. thankz
If you know someone with a pandora battery, you can try to recover your PSP (that is considering that you’re still not sure what your PSP’s motherboard is). If you’re lucky, and it’s not a TA-088v3 equipped PSP, you might just bring your PSP back to life. If not, then tough luck 🙁
Thanks ill try. I forgot to do that.
Uhm i have a psp 2000 the one with the 3000’s motherboard TA-088 v2 i think ;O
and my version is 5.03 GEN-C(Full)
i’ve tried a ton of games but everytime they start they either shut my psp off, or the screen turns black and stays that way until i completely close my psp.
What can i do 😛 ?
@sylv3rblade what’s the best firmware for psp3001 5.03m33-6 or 5.03gen-c(full) or what else CFW do you suggest the best?? now im using 5.03gen-c(full) if i downgrade it to m33-6 is there possibility i brick my psp? TNX!! coz im nervous to do so. and if it’s safe im using cfwEnabler3.20 is that okay or do you suggest the best! tnx alot!!
You can’t install 5.00 M33 or any of it’s patches since it’s for fully hackable PSPs. If you do, you’ll brick your PSP.
no i mean 5.03 M33-6 not 5.00 M33.. when i bought my psp3001 it has cfw 5.03 M33-6 together with cfwEnabler3.20. i read forums said that stick to m33-6 because games load faster and run faster. it supports alot of games. then as i saw this latest 5.03gen-c(full) it supports games the requires 6.10 firmware. one point why do i need to downgrade it to 5.03m33-6 is because of warranty issue ^^. so it is safe to downgrade it to 5.03m33-6?? I will do is uninstall the existing gen-c using cfwEnabler3.20 and run cfwEnabler3.20 again and start flash which has 5.03m33-6 right?
Ah misread sorry about that but your use of the term downgrading really mixed my noodles.
First off, downgrading means installing a lower firmware version (5.03 to 5.00). Since you’re just going to remove 5.03 M33-6 (AKA 5.03 MHU), and install 5.03 GEN-C it’s just a simple replacement of the custom firmware, not a downgrade :D.
Ok for your prob, you can uninstall 5.03 M33-6 via it’s uninstall option and install 5.03 GEN-C or simply install 5.03 GEN-C over your existing 5.03 M33-6 installation. Doing so won’t brick your PSP so long as you follow all instructions.
If you’re still worried, the safest way is to uninstall CFWE, then install 5.03 GEN-C.
or uninstall 5.03gen-c(full) using gen-cUpdater?? which i used to upgrade it to 5.03gen-c(full) then run the cfwEnabler3.20 to install the 5.03m33-6 version? or theres anyway the you sure that is 100% i will not brick my psp
Stick to 5.03 GEN-C
Now 1 more problem!!!!!!! I tried playing digimon world 3. It works fine but hangs at a point. In the instructions it said i need popsloader 3.72 but in the ta88v3 there is no popsloader!!!!!!! what should i do??????
Use the popsloader that I’ve bundled on a previous post.
got it tnx but i was wondering…what does setting the umd mode to m33 driver do?
The options for UMD mode are simply ISO loaders. Their use is as follows:
OEISOFS is the legacy loader from OE firmware
the M33 loader is one made by M33 = currently the most compatible
Sony NP9660 is the one sony made, for their official games you get from PSN
Normal requires a UMD to be present (used for UMDs)
thank you.
please help me nmn i bought psp 3004 version 5.70, pano ko ba sya madownloadan ng games? sabi nla need ko daw imodify, can u help me how?

I just have a question for you, sylv3rblade: that awesome wallpaper on your menu, where can i get it?
Thanks a lot! :3
Its a whole theme. Cant you see the icons and battery and everything changed?
Which one? The dark one or the lighter one?
5.03 gen c is cool and completely safe and there is a small chance that you’ll brick your psp unless your a psp hacking rookie and you do something wrong!!
I’ve got a problem about my memory stick…when I was playing crash mind over mutant, my psp froze then eventually shut down..it rarely happens to me..so i reinstalled the cfw, then when I was about to play again, I noticed that game icons changed..instead of showing the game, it became ps controller..i thought it’s ok so i started the game but it didn’t work..the psp shut down again..and when i check the games, there are no games but the cfw was still installed..i’ve checked it on a pc then what i saw was all the folders were deleted..and i saw 3 files…the names are history.dat something like that..so i reformatted(quick) the memory stick, made new folders and placed new games and it worked..but when i turned it to sleep mode and open it again, the games were gone..i’m really bothered about this..btw, on my other memory sticks, they’re working..what could be the problem?it’s a 8GB memory stick..i bought it from the philippines..i think its pirated..can i fix it or just buy a new one?sorry for my long post..thanks!looking forward for your response

Real or Fake? Debunking the Sony Memory Stick
Si sylv3rblade ay Pinoy! Nice! Thanks for the guide! 😉
Dude may itatanong lang:
Please tell me, what does the “hold L trigger” do?
My PSP-3000 already came in hacked with 5.03 GEN-C (done by the store), but I’m trying to redo the process to learn it. Since there was a previous hack, does that mean I have to do the L trigger thing?
Ung L button dun sa taas ng PSP, press mo un IF you’re upgrading from 5.03 GEN-A or 5.03 GEN-B to 5.03 GEN-C.
If I do a hard reset, nawawala ba yung 5.03 GEN-C?
What I did kasi was hard reset, reset settings to default, and format memory stick para nun parang “out-of-the-box” ulit yung PSP (manufacturer default).
Now when I check yung System Info, 5.03 na lang yung nakasulat (yun na yung OFW di ba? tama?), hindi na 5.03 GEN-C (Full).
Nawala ba yung GEN-C na nilagay nung store nung nag-reset ako and everything?
Yes nawawala ang lahat ng 5.03 firmwares. Kaya bawal talaga patayin ung PSP kapag ChickHen via ChickHen ang CFW mo.
Clarification lang, ang GEN-C ba ay isang klase ng CFWe? Nalilito kasi ako. ^_^;
GEN-C is a CFW (custom firmware) CFWE is Custom Firmware Enabler.. parang kalaban sya ng GEN CFW sa features
Dude, maraming salamat sa support! Malaking tulong sa amin na bago pa lang sa PSP hacking scene. Astig ka pare! 🙂
@sylv3rblade sir bkit un link sa gen-a ayaw na gumana? hehe

GAME/CFWEnabler -> ?
Paki check po kung anong firmware version ng PSP mo ngayon. Baka walang cfw kaya sinasabi nya na corrupt ung games
yes you can
sir silver may link ka po ba sa psp youtube downloader thnx po
i got 5.03 Gen C Full
some of the later games that requires version 6.10 seems to be working, but when i SAVE the files they are always corrupted after i try to load them. examples of the games i played so far….
Final Fantasy: Dissidia
Warriors Orochi 2
Sounds like a memory card problem. Try swapping mem sticks and see if the problem persists.
sir i have psp 4.01 with ta-088v3 MB, i already upgrade it to 5.03 using your CFW Enabler. Is there any problem if i install 5.03 GEN-C in my psp.
You need to uninstall CFWEnabler (there’s an uninstall option on the VSH menu) before installing 5.03 GEN-C.
sir dapat po ba un cpu clock nka default?
Yep. Although pede mo rin sya iset to 333Mhz pero madaling mauubos ung battery.
thanks for the info sir, more power. i’ll try it later. by the way is psp 3007 taiwan version with 6.00 ofw hackable already.
PSP-3000s are non hackable 🙁
.boss ung PSP ko 5.00 na OFW ang firmware pde ko pa ga ung gwing m33 o 5.03 GEN-C na lng reply asap.,
.boss ung psp ko nd TA-088v3 pde ga gmitan ng ChickHEN R2 un.,
If sure ka na TA-088v3 ang PSP mo, 5.03 GEN-C lang ang pede mo iinstall at inde ung M33 (permanent na firmware)
.boss nka 5.03 GEN-C na ung psp ko pde ko ga gwin 5.50 GEN-D3 un ksi hindi nman TA-088v3 ung motheboard nun eh reply nman asap tnx tlga.,
Yep. Basta sure ka na inde TA-088v3 yan or PSP-3000. You can directly install 5.50 GEN-D3.
Umm may i ask a question? i found out that my motherboard of my psp 3003 is TA-090v2 so is this a hackable or not? and also to update my firmware to gen-c or higher do i need to install first the gen-a to gen-b and so on well i already installed the Chickhen R2 on my psp so im confuse what to do next or i dont need to install the gen-a to gen-ba just directly install the gen-c is that it? plz reply asap and also thank u very much for the wonderful site
PSP-3000 = only partially hackable so you’re stuck with 5.03 based firmware.
As for the instructions, you just need to install 5.03 GEN-C after installing ChickHen. No need to install GEN-A and GEN-B.
sylv3rblade thank u very much ur my savior i love u ^_^
you mean ChickHen R2 or ChickHen whats the difference of the 2
For this site’s purposes, ChickHen is always ChickHen R2 because the original ChickHen couldn’t allow you to install any custom firmware over it, just run homebrew stuff. ChickHen R2 made playing ISOs possible 😀
ask lng poh..psp 3000 ng friend koh is 5.03gen-a..mas better poh ba if gen-c?..mine kc is ta-088v3 with 5.03gen-c…tnx in advance
Mas maraming games na malalaro sa 5.03 GEN-C kasi may built-in decrypter na sya 😀
ask koh lng poh ulit..para san poh ung sedna.prx sa plugins?..and ung deemerh.prx ba un?..makakasama poh b is naremove un?..tnx poh ulit..noob pa kc me..
sedna.prx = Sedna is the plugin that allows you to stay in CFW even if you accidentally shutdown your PSP.
deemerh.prx = Savegame Deemer is a plugin that allows you to save and load decrypted savedata from UMD titles.
Both plugins are required by 5.03 GEN-C to function properly.
sir tanong lang po bkit pag nalowbat na ung psp ko or inaalis ang battry nawawala ung mga ganes sa memory?? salamat
Pag namatay ung PSP mo for any reason (nalowbatt,etc) need mo ireinstall ung CFW.
hallo, im already installed my gen-c cfw,but my older gen-A is running,but not the gen-C.WHY??please..i need to play the new game using cen-C cfw..
Hey, I got GEN-C 1 week ago, it works successfully 8D thank you, thank you very much !!
Not a prob 😀
Hello, and good day. I wanted to ask if it’s possible to install Gen-C while I have Gen-B (full) well, I heard they are all the same. But I have my doubts, it will be bad if I got a brick. ._.
I have another question, the reason I want Gen-C is because some games says “error: 80020148” I tought it was because the game is kinda new. So if it doesn’t work is there a way to go back to Gen-B? or just 5.03 MHU?
Yep, you can install 5.03 GEN-C over 5.03 GEN-B.
There’s very little chance of bricking your PSP via CFW installation if you follow the instructions to the letter.
As for 5.03 MHU, it’s much better for you to simply install 5.03 GEN-C because it’s much more compatible.
sir I have no CFW installed yet. but I have the chickhen exploit working now.
before using the installer Gen-C (updater)
Do I need another CFW already installed?
I have the CFWenabler 3.60, is it necessary to use it?
Do I have to hold down the L trigger every time I run the updater after I’ve restarted my PSP? What are the consequences if I don’t?
I’m currently on GEN-B and never had to do that.
help naman mo..nung ininstall ko ung gen-c gen-a(full ung lumitaw..what i did is inupdate ko sya by holding the L button..na update naman sya pero gen-c(full) sya..dba dpat walang (full)? please reply..thanks
sir ask q lng po, i hav a PSP-2000 TA-088v3, and meron syang cfw enabler which runs 5.00 m33. pero i want to change to 5.03 gen-c, ano pong gagawin ko? thanks…
Select the uninstall option of CFWE, run ChickHen then install 5.03 GEN-C.
sir, tanung ko lang po kung panu makakakuha o makaka install ng sedna.prx. d po ba kaylangan un para hindi plagi na lang nawawala ung games sa memory.tanx…
pls help its very urgent!!!
recently i took a game from my friend whose cmputer was filled with malware and viruses and some of them entered into my PSP!! i deleted them and formatted my memory stick but when i install any of the custom firmware, my PSP becomes very slow and doesn’t respond and mostly hangs.
i dont know what to do now as i have tried everything and nothing seems to work. pls help!!!
On the XMB, Press select and make sure CPU CLOCK XMB and CPU CLOCK GAME are set to default
sir, do we need to format the memory stick before installing/running the ChickHEN R2 & GEN C? My PSP software version is 5.03 & i can play downloaded games before, but then I accidentally drained the battery and not able to charge it prompting me to uninstall & re-install the battery.after that I can no longer play the downloaded games.the supplied 32MB memory stick containing CFWEnabler & GEN C Updater file is not functioning/corrupted.pls help….thnx
No, you don’t need to reformat every single time you need to use the installer. The 32MB stick is probably just dead 🙁
Hello, I have installed Gen-C and it worked. ^^ but I’m noticing that my battery is being drained more fast than usual. Does it have to do with the CPU clock XMB or GAME?.. they are set in Default. is there some way to the battery to last longer?.. My battery now only last like 2 to 1 hour.
You could slow down the CPU clock for GAME but it’ll be virtually unplayable. I suspect it’s a problem with your battery more than the CFW.
thank you very much sylv3rblade!!! I couldn’t had figured it out if you wouldn’t had helped. But I have another problem – I have installed 5.03 Gen-C on my PSP 3000 but games like Tekken 6 are not running. How can I run these games on my PSP? thnx 😀
What error is Tekken 6 giving you? It’s supposed to work just fine with 5.03 GEN-C 🙁
You can try looking for a FIXED version that works with 5.00 M33-6.
I have fixed it. Thanks for helping. You are the man!!
ask ko lang po kung ang psp ko ay may 5.50 gen-b full pano po ba ito upgrade ito sa 5.50 gen d-3? help naman po . Thanks
also saan version po ba gumagana yung Dantes inferno ang version ko po kasi ay 5.50 gen b full ang error message nya ay ” the game could not be started yet” samantalang nalalaro nya sa 5.50 gen d3 nung kakilala ko.
hey dude ,,, u rock but some games are not working . my psp is getting reboot again when i start game the screen dose not show any thing. but the old games r working . but the new games are not working .. plz hep
and what is GEN – C it will work new games.. help
5.03 GEN-C is the updated version of PSP GEN’s 5.03 CFW. It’s the most compatible of their release so it will work with older games AND newer ones 🙂
I did as instructed on my PSP 3000, runned the ‘game’, and the psp rebooted ok. But when I go to system information, my version is still showing GEN-A. Any tips?
Hello! Id like to know if i can delete the files (hen r2 and 5.03 gen-c) after the installation or rather change the memory stick? will it brick my psp if i do it?
please help… im a total noob..
im thinking of buying another memory stick for the installation of hen and 5.03 gen-c, and then change the memory stick with games.. is this possible??
You can delete the files without bricking your PSP. You only need them when (re)installing the 5.03 GEN-C cfw in case you turn off your PSP. Yes, you can also have the installation files on a one memory stick and your games on the other.
my psp is has a system software na 6.20 version papano ako makakapagdownload nang custom firmware?thanks hope you can answer.
so you dont need to install the gen-a and gen-b on this one?
Yep. You can install 5.03 GEN-C right after installing ChickHen.
anu po meron sa 5.03 GEN-C(DT)?
hey, how do you upgrade from 5.03 MHU to 5.03 GEN-C? because im still 5.03 gen-c after upgrading my psp 3006.
i mean, im still 5.03 mhu
Yo Atma please i need help!!!! :'(
I tried to install GEN D3 over GEN C i followed all the steps right and at the end of the installation it said Installation Finished ((welcome to GEN world))
after that my PSP is just showing the green color no scree,and i can’t even use the recovery menu,this is a full brick right?
WHAT SHALL I DO!!! :'(
Remove the battery and try turning your PSP on again.
Actually its not my PSP,its my cousin’s and he is really a pain in the ass xD
anyway,i tried and removed the battery but still it didn’t work ;'(
I forgot to tell you that,first i installed GEN C through ChickHEN R2,then i installed GEN D3 over it
Well that’s the problem 🙁
You didn’t read the warning on the installation of 5.50 GEN-D3. If you’re running 5.03, you can’t upgrade to 5.50 GEN-D3.
Right now i am giving him my PSP,i’ll just have to take his bricked PSP,but i can fix it with using a Pandora Battery,right?
Thank you anyway 😉
hey sylv3rblade i need your help….after i installed GEN-C, every game seemed to run fine. but wen i brought FIFA 09 from one of my friend, it didnt run….it showed the error the game cud not be started….plz help me!!
plz reply to my problem…i cannot figure the problem and you are the only one who can help me!!!
That’s odd… have you tried switching UMD modes?
yeah I have tried it but it still won’t work….but the game works fine in GEN-A…I can’t figure out the problem!!
hmmm ms sylv3rblade (am i right?)
is there anyway i can message you or something? i have a lot of questions about psp….
Please use the contact form on this site 🙂
excuse me, but cud you find the answer to my problem….it would help me a lot!!
Well there’s 2 ways to fix the game could not be started problem. You can either download and run the eboot patcher to make the game work with your cfw version,
Or…. you can redownload a Fifa 09 fixed for 5.00 M33
how to get back the games of my psp if the games is corrupted?i need a pandora battery? or can i do it without pandora battery?
Hi. I installed gen-c successfully on my psp-3004. However, I shut down my psp and it’s now in regular ofw mode. when I want to re-install it, when exactly do I hold in L trigger? If I don’t hold it in, will it brick my psp?
Also, how many times can you run the gen-c update? Asking this cos I don’t like leaving my psp in standby mode and I have to shut it down to use USB mode, as my pc doesn’t recognise it in in gen-c mode.
Please help. I’m a little nervous about trying this again, as I don’t want to brick my psp.
Hold the L trigger when the PSP prompts you to press X to install 5.0 GEN-C. No, it won’t but it’ll just take longer for the installation since it’ll recopy the files instead of just reactivating the CFW.
You can run the update to infinity without any problems. The only way you’ll brick your PSP is if you don’t follow the instructions as stated above 🙂
Cool! Thanks very much for replying so quickly. 🙂
No prob. 🙂
So it looks like I’m still a bit lost with the hold down L trigger thingy. ^_^;
My unit is working fine, but curiosity always gets the best outta me. 🙂
Can’t really avoid running out of power and having to reload 5.03 GEN-C again, but I NEVER hold down the L trigger and it works ok. What is the difference in holding down L trigger and not?
holding down the L trigger skips the part where it copies the installation files and simply runs the activation routine.
Ah so even when I turn off my PSP completely and it reverts to OFW 5.03, the 5.03 GEN-C files are actually still in my PSP? I thought turning off wipes out these files?
Nope, they’re still there but you do need the installer to activate them again.
thanks very much for your reply!! 😀
so I’m confused…I have to drag the “PSP” file to the PSP’s memory stick and it asks me if i want to replace it… but won’t i lose all my photos,music & videos? sorry if that’s a dumb question but i’m new to this
If you’re on a mac you need to choose the merge option instead of replace. If you’re on a PC that’s fine, you can choose replace and it won’t replace anything (because it’ll only replace files with similar names not folders :))
hi i have a question i have a psp model 3002 will the 5.03 GEN-C work on my psp? sorry im new to this ^^;
Yep, it’ll work with your PSP.
sorry one more question like i said my psp is a 3002 when i got it it had a 5.55 update is there anyway to downgrade it to 5.03 at the moment?
if you have an unhackable psp.. no.
so if install this if i turned my psp off will i still hack it again?
All games work fine except fewww, This new 1 i downloaded and its not working.
naruto ultimate ninja heroes 3 usa
it says game could not be started. Is it because its too recent? Or do i need klown or espalpsp’s version which always works?
You downloaded the scene release by PSPKiNG right? Yeah try the one by KloWn. That group is always my next choice when scene releases don’t work.
guys the loader is working tnx u rock
pls help! whenever i try to run gen-b or gen-c updaters, all it says is “now reboot you psp in CFW5.03 GEN-B/BEN-C” there’s no steps like “press x to reboot” after the message, it just goes back to home and its still GEN-A. when i try to reboot it by turning it off or from the select button, i hav to run CHICKhen and the INSTALLER-LOADER again from GEN-A. when i try to do it from CHICKhen (i just ran over CHICKhen) it’s just a black screen and still goes back to home. i read all steps, watched some videos but none seem to help me.
PLS HELP BECAUSE I KNOW THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG I’VE DONE AND I DONT’T WANNA BRICK MY PSP.
PS
I have extracted all files, redownloaded all files and still the same message appears
PLS REPLY QUICKLY!
Another PS
Sorry for having so many PSs but also when i run 5.03 GEN-C or GEN-B the stupid message appears and my psp magically turns GEN-A. This happens even when i run it directly after running CHICKhen. Bakit ganun?
PLS REPLY! My psp is version 2000 slim and is a TA-088 v3 Checked using the PSPident 0.4
help my GEn-B and GEN-C dont work. I follow all the steps but it just says: reboot your psp in CFW5.03 GEN-B/GEN-C when i run them. When i do run them, my psp just becomes a 5.03 GEN-A. My psp is a slim 2000 TA-088v3. pls help me!
PLS Reply quickly
I’ve just figured out how to do it. One thing you’ve failed to mention was that once you run the GEN-C updater, it’s going too say “Reboot your psp in CFW5.03 BEN-C” after that, you have to run the GEN-C updater again WHILE HOLDING THE L BUTTON ON THE LOADING SCREEN (when it shows the psp sony entertainment). It should take you to the GEN-C menu. press x to install GEN-C and press x again to reboot and then… You’ve just installed GEN-C!
I hope this helps you and all the people having the same problem! Btw pinoy rin ako 🙂
Will update the post to reflect this 😀 Thanks.

Inside the ISO folder at the root of your memory stick, if you can’t find one, create an ISO folder and drop your files there.

Yep. This is the most up to date CFW for your PSP. You’ll be able to play most of the latest games.
thank you very much you had been very helpful and informative.
help i have downloaded PES 2010 and wen i try to start the game, it shows the error message “could not start the game”……pls tell me wat shud i do?? i have the GEN-C
same here hakusho, silverblade plz help us what to do.
pano if bigla nwla ung mga games ko sa psp uhm my psp is 3000 version 5.03 GEN-C??? UMD nlng ba pde d2?
erm… ihave a problem. i’ve downloaded the gen c file and successfully hacked the psp to gen c. the system settings read “5.03 GEN – C (Full)” but the game files i put in the ISO dont appear in the psp when i turn it on… help? 🙁
My psp is a 3000 btw.
What file format are your games and are you certain that the directory you’re putting them in is X:/ISO not X:/PSP/ISO?
the games are in rar format. other games in rar format can be played on my psp so i dont find the format a problem. and yes im sure ive put the games in the ISO folder, not PSP/ISO
in rar? Do the files specifically end in .rar?
the type of file states winrar archive
They need to have the extensions below (.iso or .cso) in order for them to work.
but i have a few games that are also in the rar format that works..
Winrar actually calls all files that it opens as a winrar archive so there’s really no other way of knowing other than checking the extension.
ermm… do i update the psp 3000 to gen c after the psp reads “5.03 gen-b (full)” or reads “Chickhen r2“? :l

hello my psp can go to gen c but if you don`t play a game for a while or use the VSH Menu andStandby it and tun it on it hangs or whatsoever what should i do?

Bale to run the games on your memory stick, you need:
1. Chickhen Running on your PSP
2. 5.03 GEN-C installed over ChickHen.
This guide pretty much explains what you need to do to (re)install Chickhen and 5.03 GEN-C
can u tell me what to do? im new to this kind kz…
Everything you have to do is already written in the blog entry. You may be new to PSP scene, but you’re not new to reading. 😉
Thanks for that 🙂
No prob sylv3r, I’ve learned a LOT from this blog and its very easy instructions. Keep up the good work Master!
my psp version 5.03(before)….i update it to 5.55 and i cant play my download games…..what should i do???
You can update your PSP to 6.20 and install 6.20 TN-D or 6.35 and install 6.35 Pro-B3.
my psp ver.(5.03)before and i update it to 5.55 and i update it again in ver.6.37 and i cant play my download games………………what shoul i do?
You upgraded to 6.37. At that point the only thing you’ll be able to do with your PSP is run some homebrew but no ISO games.
wala na pu bang solution…
so far wala pa. 6.37 lang ang tanging firmware na walang ISO support.
pwede nyo pa install yung sinasabinh chicken sa mga nag aayos ng psp, or download kayo sa youtube ng video how? then download nyo din yung files na chickhen, meron akong files kaso paano ko mabibigay sayo..??? email with attachment?
Sir patulong nman.Ung psp k kc inupgrade nung kasama k d2 original sya 5.03 tpos nging 5.03 genc full.kso ayaw maplay ng iso games naki2ta k ung games dun s games icon kso pag click k may error message n lumalabas.”the game could not be started (80020321)”Tnx!
Install the latest add-in, Prometheus-3 v2 for 5.03 GEN-C. It’s also in this blog.
Is it theoretically possible to directly install 5.03 GEN-C to a PSP-2000 with CFW 3.90 M33-3?
hey all,can i just install 5.03 gen C on a psp 3000 without 5.03 gen A or B???help2…
Yep. You can go straight to 5.03 GEN-C
Hi Sylverblade. Just wondering if there’s any update on Prometheus cause I just downloaded Parasite Eve 3rd b-day and i cant run it. Thanks ! ^_^
Pa-help nman pls.. I have psp 2006. 5.03 gen c ang Custom firmware nya… ngrestart ung psp ko. ang problema, gnamit kong pang-load ng Chicken ung sa friend ko n may psp 2000 n 5.00 m33 ang version ng psp nya.
Ngload nman ung chicken pro d na ako makapaglaro ng tekken 6. tpos tiningnan ko ung version ng psp ko, ngtaka ako kc 5.00 m33 na sya… 5.03 genc nging 5.00 m33.
anu po pwedeng gawin ko pra maibalik ko sa 5.03 gen c ulit un? Tnx. pls..
Most likely pinalitan nya ung loaded CFW from 5.03 GEN-C to Custom Firmware Enabler (which will pop 5.00 M33-6 when you look at the firmware version). Just follow the instructions on this page to restore 5.03 GEN-C or for simplicity, follow the other guide to install Signed 5.03 GEN-C.

Thank you for the reply.. I appreciate it too much… pero now 5.03 promentus n cya, ngtry lng ako pro ok nman as of now.. tnx
I have a PSP 3000 with 5.03 OFW ChickHEN R2 and 5.03 GEN-A (Full). I want to update to 5.03 GEN-C but my question is if i have to install first 5.03 GEN-B to make it possible. Or go directly to 5.03 GEN-C update, and after Prometeus Patch.
Hi sylv3rblade,
I have a problem when trying to put my iso/cso (games) inside my memory stick,
b’cos after I install the Gen-C (full), my F: drive become a zip folder. I can’t copy any games into the memory stick(I check my system setting it show that GEN-C (full). Sorry for the nood quetions)
Thanks.
Hi YTS,
I’m not sure I understand the problem. Your PC reads your PSP’s storage as a zip folder? Have you tried accessing your PSP from another computer?
Hi sylv3rblade,
I already solved the problem, just change the setting from umd device to memory stick at vsh menu. but now I got another problem, when I try to copy my iso/cso file into psp/game it show corrupted data, can u give some advise.
Thanks.
Hello I have a PSP 3006 and have a System Software of 5.03 GEN-C Full. And I saw one of my classmates play ISO games on a 6.35 custom firmware. Can I still upgrade my custom firmware? He told me to uprgade it so I can play other more games (he played GOW: Ghost of Sparta that time). I am just afraid that I might not play ISO games anymore… if this is possible on my psp, can you show me a link of your tutorial on the latest firmware that can still play ISO’s?
Thanks Venn.
when i open the file corrupted data is written and it does not work
You need to have Chickhen running before installing 5.03 GEN-C
Just a quick question.
PSP-3004 TA-090v2 OFW 5.03
Before installation, the memory stick can be browsed (can see the ISO, PSP, MUSIC, PICTURE folders).
However, after installing 5.03 gen-c, all I can get when connecting the USB are 3 folders namely dic, font and vsh…
Any ideas as to this? And the media size that registers in my computer is only 40MB as opposed to what my memory stick capacity is (4GB).
Please advise.
You have probably mounted your PSP’s flash memory. That’s dangerous since if you write/delete anything on that partition, it’ll brick your PSP.
Press select to access the VSH menu. Look for a setting that says “USB Device” and change it to “Memory Stick”
Thanks man… Good thing I haven’t done anything to that partition…

What is your current firmware version? This may help.
Hi sylv3rblade,
I installed as instructed (HEN, GEN-C, PROMETHEUS). But my cso and iso games still aren’t appearing. Do you have any idea how to fix this?
My firmware version is 5.03. Hope you could help. Thanks. 🙂
Please check if:
Your games are in the ISO folder (Memory Stick:/ISO)
Your games are in ISO/CSO format
If your PSP displays 5.03 GEN-C as above.
I realize I’m replying way too late on this but thanks! The problem was that it was located on Memory Stick:/PSP/ISO instead of Memory Stick:/ISO. (My PSP displays 5.03 Prome-3 btw) Really appreciate you answering my question. 🙂
I have another problem though. I copied files from my previously used PSP (which I just borrowed) and the save files don’t seem to work. Is there something that I might have missed?
Are your save games in the proper directory?
can u help me coz the chickHEN wont work
