This tutorial will show you How to software mod your PSP 3000 or 2000 (with the TA 088V3 chip) using the ChickHEN hack. Using the ChickHEN hack, you can Install CFW (Custom Firmware) on your PSP 3000 and run homebrew applications and games on your PSP. You can also run game UMD ISOs directly from your memory card. ChickHEN is a homebrew enabler hack which lets you install CFW on your PSP 3000.
The whole modding process can be done in two steps.
1. Install the ChickHEN hack
2. Install 5.03 GEN-A FW OR Install CFW Enabler
Note: This method works only with PSPs having the TA 088V3 board and having FW version 5.03 or lower.
