@Shashank
YOU’RE THE BEST!!! THANKS FOR THE HACK!!!
When I downloaded Tekken 6, it says the game could not be started (80020321), is there something i’m doing wrong? Do I need a CFW enabler or sumthn?? I already have 5.03GEN-C
@Ritesh
Try using different memory stick or format yr memory stick, a restart will fix it, however the hack will be lost, and you have to hack it again.
@Cesar
Try this for “game could not be started error”

should i install 5.03 GEN A and GEN B before installing GEN C?
Is any software application supported like youtube will work in custom firmware 5.03 GEN-C?
this cfw will also disappear if the psp is turned off?
isnt there anyway this problem can be solved?? (excluding the sedna patch…) cuz the psp is still running with the sedna patch on even after we turn it off.
@Roshan
Yes, thats the way I did it.
@Mohammed
you can try PSPtube, Gotube.

Hi, i have done everything you just posted. it worked so right.. but the problem is, when i decided to add games to my psp3001 (TA-090 v2 mother board model), the other games doesnt work anymore!! how come it’s happening to my psp?? is there any other way to make THEM work again?? it also came to the point that no game is ever working.. chickHenR2 starts easily as well as Gen-A & Gen-B enablers. but when i flash any game it always displays :
THE GAME COULD NOT BE STARTED
what would i do?? please help.. before it happened, i was even enjoying playing TEKKEN6, but now i’ve got nothing to do..
i need your help so bad…
please mail me
I just wanted to thank you for such a great guide!!! I have done all of the steps from hacking to installing the Firmware Gen-C. My question: Can I delete the files from my memory card once I have installed them on the psp?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
@ Parshad
u can still play games you bought from the PSN store, but you wont be able to run .ISO or .CSO files, for these you need a CFW
@ Oswaldo
yes u can, but u’ll have to get them back in there if u restart ur PSP.
keep ‘em of backup, they’re not that big anyways
@ Margarett
I had that same problem, but that was after i played soul caliber and changed something in the advanced settings.
I believe u’ll need to the press SELECT go to Recovery Menu and make sure that these are your settings:
Go to Configuration and make the following changes:
* Game folder hombrew (currently: 5.xx Kernel)
* UMD Mode (Currently: M33 driver -NO UMD-)
Go back to Main Menu then Advance > Advance Configuration.
* Enable Plain modules in UMD/ISO
* Disable “Execute BOOT.BIN in UMD/ISO”
when i did that everything went back to normal
hope it works for you =)
got that info from http://www.trickyways.com/2009/12/how-to-install-games-on-psp-custom-firmware/
i just modded my psp 3000 with gen c full and it worked without a problem for 1 week now.
At first, one game didn’t work, so i tried transferring it to another memory stick of lower capacity.
Kudos to the team!

1 - Usng ChickHen…….
